##FAQ

###What is habit tracking?

See Trackers vs Lifehackers 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 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, and you can use it wherever (eg, I'm using it in my Pomodoro scripts). See the API page for more details.
