#[HabitRPG](http://habitrpg.com/)
|
|
|
|
[HabitRPG](http://habitrpg.com/) is a habit tracker app which treats your goals like a Role Playing Game. As you accomplish goals, you level up. If you fail your goals, you lose hit points. Lose all your HP and you die.

##Roadmap
|
|
* [Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pidkmpibnnnhneohdgjclfdjpijggmjj) currently being developed ([source code](https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg-chrome))
|
|
* Authentication ([progress here](https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg/issues/3))
|
|
* Groups, so you can compete with your friends
|
|
* Integration with tools like Astrid, Pivotal Tracker, Pomodoro, RescueTime, and MyFitnessPal
|
|
* [See the full list](https://workflowy.com/shared/cd06313a-7c93-ae5f-ae55-e64cae0556e4/)

##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 (everyone knows that!).
|
|
|
|
###All my tasks are red, I'm dying too fast
|
|
|
|
This is good. The worse you are at a task, the more valuable it becomes - meaning you gain more experience for completing those red tasks. This will incentivise you to try harder and to focus on the more difficult tasks. If you *really* need a bail-out, you can "Re-Roll" from the item store for $1, which resets all your tasks to a clean slate. It costs real money to prevent you from abusing it.

|
|
###How do I log in / save my data?
|
|
|
|
HabitRPG is built on [DerbyJS](http://derbyjs.com/), which doesn't yet support authentication. As soon as EveryAuth becomes available to Derby, I'll implement it - that and the other network integration aspects on the roadmap. You can follow the progress [here](https://github.com/lefnire/habitrpg/issues/3).

|
|
In the meantime, a workaround has been built to use a private url, similar to Workflowy's shared lists, which you can use to access your account from multiple computers. Click the top-right profile button and bookmark the URL it provides.
