Magic Notes

An extension designed to make learning on Sparx Maths more fun!

⚠️ 18/07/23: Sparx is being redesigned, so this extension may not work anymore... Learn more

Welcome to Magic Notes! Please read the terms and conditions here before using the extension.

When I first started using Sparx Maths, I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of question styles that were offered and the automatic level system which allowed each individual to learn at their own pace. This is why I created this program in the hopes of motivating students to use Sparx Maths and in turn, develop an innate passion for learning Maths on their website.

Note This program has no connection with Sparx Maths. Sparx Maths is owned by Sparx LTD.

🙋 FAQ

Q. Do I have to copy and paste the code every time?

A. If you want the program to stay permanently instead of manually injecting it, install it here.

Q. Why is more than one answer highlighted?

A. Unfortunately, the answer detection system isn't perfect. The answer is displayed above the bookwork check so you can use your judgement to make an appropriate decision.

Q. Can I suggest a colour theme?

A. Yes of course! If you have a colour theme that isn't already in the available themes then send me an email or create an Issue here

Note Colour themes have 4 different colours: lightest, light, dark, darkest. Colours will look different when used on the Sparx Maths website.

magic-notes's Issues

Themes

Is it possible to use the stock sparx theme? This would make it less obvious that i'm using a modded version.

Please firefox support.

Hi, I hope this project keeps on going on. Is there anyway you can make the extension supported for firefox.

Not answering questions

This is my first time trying to use magic notes and its not answering any questions. It has changed the theme but I'm not sure how to get it to fill in answers. This could just be me using it wrong but I've tried downloading it and using it as a bookmark and nothing's worked. Hope you can help.

Algorithm confused on answer.

I was doing my sparx homework and the addon started acting weirdly

The image contains my first bookwork code of the day. I have no idea what could have caused this.
However, When the next option/ bookwork code came out it got it correct.

Auto Mini-game, Additional trigger

Hi,

In version 3.0.5, You added these 2 new features.

• Automatically select the next task when pressing Enter in homework.
• Automatically select the 'auto higher or lower' mini-game when pressing Enter, the mini-game section.

I was wondering as well, as pressing “Enter” could add clicking the “Continue” Button on sparxmaths, which can also trigger events aforementioned above.

Also, if this feature gets implemented, could you share the code snippet with me

Thanks Najm,

Not working on MS Edge

The extension does not work on Microsoft Edge.

How does one turn off the themes

If someone doesn't want to use a theme. how can you turn them off?

Count API is Down

I reached out at count API through their email today and if I don't receive an email in the upcoming week, I will either remove the counter entirely, or surround it in a try/catch block.

Why is Count API Used?

Count API is used to collect data about the amount of times people use my program - I love statistics! It does not collect any user data whatsoever, and all requests are anonymous. I use Count API on my web portfolio too, so it's very sad to see that it has gone down over the past several days.

how to fix this ????

ummm its says service worker inactive how to fix also the background isn't working
sparx-main (3).zip

how to start repo

im new to github and all that and idk how to start it lol

Re-add popup.html

Hello, I had a suggestion: could you please re-add the popup.html? and include a download button that downloads the data (bookwork codes with answers are stored with them)

If not, could you aid me in adding this feature on my version of "Sparxmaths Solver". You can submit a Pull request on the CDN or on the Main extension page

Thanks, Najm

the chrome extension doesn't work

Hi! So I wanted to use Magic Notes because I couldn't be bothered to do bookwork checks, but for some reason, the temporary version and the chrome extension both do not work for me. I followed the instructions clearly and it still didn't work. It's probably just me, but it would be nice if the issue was fixed.

Thanks!

Instructions

People are getting confused when they visit the Magic Notes website, so I should probably add some instructions some time soon...

Confusion on privacy policy

I am quite confused on this one part of the privacy policy:

Why does it need to store/send my login info. I might be interpreting it wrong.

Bookworks Not Highlighted

I Run The Code Into The Console On The Sparx Page And All The Themes Load But I Just Got A Bookwork Check And It Hasnt Been Highlighed?

Edit : Ive Just Gotten Some Bookmarks With Highlights Then One Without It 😕?

i assume this dont work if it does pls send

i assume this dont work if it does pls send
