A vocabulary trainer for Mac OS X, originally written by Arizona Software (http://www.arizona-software.ch).
Please be aware that this project is currently unstable as I am modernising a large legacy codebase.
##Screenshots:
##Current abilities:
- As displayed on http://www.arizona-software.ch
##WRoadmap:
- Updating the interface
- Modernizing the code
- ARC Compatibility
- QTKit or AVFoundation to replace Quickdraw
- CoreData to replace custom file format (with converter??) to allow better performance and less code
- First App Store deployment to renew user base
- Re-introduce sharing of decks
- More stats
- iOS port?
- iCloud syncing?

Thank you for downloading the source code of ProVoc! Please take a moment to read the following lines:
- This source code is available under the BSD license (see below)
- This code base is really, really old... Please keep in mind that this software has grown from a simple vocabulary training app that we've written (probably like many of you out there) "just for our own needs".
- Be thus accordingly indulgent! We known that the overall structure, the design patterns used, well... almost everything could have been much clearer and much better -- if only we had the same knowledge at that time as today.
- If you want to rewrite this app, think seriously about adopting some up-to-date technology (CoreData is beyond any question, so as QTCapture and all sorts of other things)
- This code should primarly serve as a reference for those of you who want to write some "importers" for ProVoc vocabulary files.
- Please understand that we don't have time anymore to provide support of any kind, or answer questions about the code.
Having said that, enjoy developing for Mac OS X -- we can assure you that it's really a fun and inspiring experience!
