Train your brain like a spaceship.
Everett, your mission is to help Bolt calibrate a learning engine. It watches what feels easy, hard, fun, or boring β then reshapes the next challenge around you. The engine needs your feedback as much as your answers.
Designed for one satisfying 20-minute session. Wrong answers are signal, not failure. No streaks, no loot boxes, no pressure to return.

Rocket Ratio Lab
Bolt needs your help mixing rocket fuel. Every engine needs the right ratio of spark powder to moon juice. Too much of one, and the engine sputters. Too little, and it won't ignite. Can you crack the ratios?

Parent Brief
What this is, and what it isn't
A 20-minute prototype of an adaptive learning experience. Built around motivation science, cognitive science, and healthy design. It watches for ease, difficulty, fun, and boredom β then reshapes the next challenge in real time. The goal is to leave the learner wanting to return, not grinding to stay.
What this prototype does NOT do
No streaks. Missing a day costs nothing. No loot boxes. Nothing is randomized behind paywalls. No shame mechanics. Wrong answers produce information, not judgment. No endless feeds. The session ends with a satisfying "engine calibrated" moment at 20 minutes.
About "Bolt"
Bolt is a lightweight visual companion β a mascot, not a pretend friend. It reacts to performance and feelings. It does not claim emotions, sentience, or personhood.
V4 New Features
Confidence Prediction: Before answering, learners rate how sure they are. This builds metacognition β thinking about thinking. Research shows predicting your own knowledge strengthens learning.
Progressive Hints: Two optional hints per question. The first is conceptual (a thinking strategy). The second is directional (narrows choices). Hints are never penalized β using them is smart engineering, not cheating.
Retry System: After a wrong answer, learners can try once more with a hint. This turns mistakes into genuine learning moments, not just correction events.
Mission Briefings: Each mission starts with a narrative context β why these skills matter. Story framing increases engagement without manipulation.
Adaptive Pacing: The system tracks thinking time per question and adjusts mix accordingly. Quick correct answers signal ease; long thinking + correct signals appropriate challenge; quick wrong answers signal confusion.
Sound Effects: Optional Web Audio API tones for correct/incorrect/level-up. No audio files needed. Can be muted at any time.

All data stays in this browser's local storage. Nothing is transmitted to a server. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. No network requests of any kind. The "Copy parent report" button generates a JSON snapshot you can review or share. The report includes: accuracy, confidence calibration, thinking time patterns, hint usage, retry usage, and learning trajectory.
