What is the purpose of the game?
"MindWarrior" game was created to help you on your journey of personal growth, development and transformation. The main concept of the game β Formula of firm resolution β is your private inspirational message that you write to yourself and then review regularly during the day.
Each time you review your Formula, your thoughts are returned back to what really matters for you. This practice helps to keep your mind clear and focused on the most important things, pulling it away from the dullness, noise and distractions of everyday life.
What should I write in my Formula?
Formula of firm resolution is a private freeform text message, where you can write anything that has meaning to you. It could be your favorite quotes, mantras, reminders, wise thoughts and observations, or anything else, only you to decide! The only guidance is that it should motivate you on your personal journey of transformation and growth.
A strong Formula will keep you focused, motivated, and disciplined. It will support you daily and will help to stay engaged and committed. If you find yourself receiving constant reminders from the game about missed reviews, or if you start thinking of quitting the game, maybe it might be a sign that your Formula requires a revision.
What happens when I review my Formula?
Spiritually, each time you review your Formula of firm resolution, the focus of your mind is returned back to the most important things in your life, pulling you away from distractions and nonsense of everyday life.
Game-wise, when you perform the review without being reminded about that, you earn game rewards!
What happens if you forget to review the "Formula"?
If you forget to review your Formula of Firm Resolution, the game will remind you about it. Depending on the selected difficulty level, missing reviews might make it harder for you to unlock subsequent game levels.
There are no penalties on the easiest level! π«πΎ
To speed up the unlocking process, you can increase the frequency of reviewing the Formula, but no more than once every 5 minutes (otherwise, the review will not be counted).
How often do I need to review my Formula?
You can review your Formula as often as you'd like, however only the reviews performed at least 5 minutes apart from each other will be rewarded ("cool-down" rule).
The frequency of reviews and the penalties for missed ones are determined by the difficulty level of the game, which you could change at any time using /difficulty command.
How to take a break without penalties?
To take a break, simply pause the game with /pause command.
The paused game won't send you any notifications or change your game scores. The active play time counter won't be counting, too. To resume the game, simply review your Formula as usually.
Also you can set up an interval for sleep. The game will be automatically paused (daily) during this time. To set it, go /settings menu and press "π€ Sleep Scheduler" button.
Important! If your Formula is reviewed during your "sleep interval", the game will resume. This means you might be penalized if you miss the next scheduled review (e.g., if one day you make a "late" review at a time when you typically sleep on other days). To avoid this, you can manually pause the game using the /pause command after completing a "late" review.
Can I use text formatting in Formula?
Formula editor supports markdown syntax.
You can also use {counter} and {stopwatch} widgets to embed counters and stopwatches into your formula. That might be useful if you need to manually track some progress.

Why the game is called "MindWarrior"?
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
β Albert Einstein
"Nothing can change for them, because they themselves can't change anymore."
β Michael Ende
"Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow."
"Mind" part is about "inner self" and personal thoughts. Most of the time, you need to change your thoughts first to make a significant change in your life.
"Warrior" part is about action and persistent effort. The change doesn't happen magically by itself.
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
β Rumi
"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."
β Mahatma Gandhi
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves."
β Leo Tolstoy
We (creators of the game) strongly believe that everyone could make a difference in the world. By changing ourselves, we contribute in making the world a better place. Becoming better versions of ourselves leads us to better decisions, which result in better actions and outcomes for everyone to enjoy.
Therefore, every time you review your Formula of firm resolution, you're not only improving your life, but also making the world a better place for everyone! π
This is what "MindWarrior" name is all about Β―\_(γ)_/Β―.
Can I see Formulas of other players?
"MindWarrior" game takes privacy of the players very seriously. Your Formula of firm resolution is stored locally on your device and the game never copies or sends it to its servers. Therefore, it is physically impossible to see the Formula of a random player simply because the game itself doesn't have the access to it. (Please check our Privacy policy for more details.)
However, some players voluntarily shared their Formulas to the public on our website. These formulas could be found on "Public Formulas" page. Please feel free to check them out!
If you'd like to help inspiring other players by sharing your own Formula, please follow these instructions.
