##FAQ
|
|
|
|
###What is habit tracking?
|
|
|
|
See [Trackers vs Lifehackers](http://blog.beeminder.com/trackhack/) for a description and more habit tracking examples.
|
|
|
|
###This is confusing
|
|
|
|
If you played RPGs (Role Playing Games) growing up, this app will make sense to you; otherwise, it might be overwhelming at first. Be sure to follow the tutorial when you first load the website. If it's still not your cup of tea, checkout [Trackers vs Lifehackers](http://blog.beeminder.com/trackhack/) for alternatives.

|
|
###How do I heal?
|
|
|
|
After you play for a while you unlock the Item Store from which you can buy health potions. Also, HP resets upon leveling up (of course!).
|
|
|
|
###All my tasks are red, I'm dying too fast
|
|
|
|
Good! Your red tasks provide the most incentive. The worse you are at a task, the more valuable it becomes in Exp & GP, which will push you to focus on the harder tasks. However, if you *really* need a bail-out, you can "Re-Roll" from the item store, which resets all your tasks to a clean slate. You have to use your quarters, which will prevent you from re-rolling frequently.
|
|
|
|
Again, try as hard as you can to avoid using re-roll. The point of red tasks is to push you to try harder.

##API
|
|
HabitRPG has a simple API for up-scoring and down-scoring third party Habits: ```POST /users/:userId/tasks/:taskId/:direction```. This API is currently used in the [Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/habitrpg/pidkmpibnnnhneohdgjclfdjpijggmjj), and you can use it wherever (eg, I'm using it in my [Pomodoro scripts](https://www.evernote.com/shard/s17/sh/9cd765e9-9b5e-44ff-a3e1-b46691c3f593/4ab39c1fca3fe6d54c831dfe6550bf5d)). See [the API page](https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg/wiki/API) for more details.
