The calculation of experience depends on two variables: difficulty and duration. Each difficulty has its own multiplication factor f:
- trivial - 0.5
- regular - 1.0
- hard - 1.5
- insane - 2.0
Each duration value d is transformed into minutes. Finally, experience points xp are calculated as follows:
xp = f * d
In addition, only completed tasks add to the experience. Failed tasks are ignored in the experience calculation.
The level is calculated as follows:
level = 0.025 * sqrt(xp)
When calendar synchronization is enabled, all created tasks with a due date will be synchronized with the default calendar. The task goal is selected as the title and the task details as the description of the calendar event.
To delete completed or failed tasks from the calendar, check the Delete completed tasks box in the settings.
If you want to create a task with a due date but without syncing it with the calendar, uncheck the Synchronize with calendar box when creating or editing a task.
The default value of the Synchronize with calendar field depends on the global Calendar Synchronization setting.
