Vibe-coding flashcards to help your students with their revision

Vibe-coding flashcards to help your students with their revision

If you’ve ever stared at a revision guide for so long that the diagrams started moonwalking across the page, this one’s for you. Today, we are diving head-first into the dazzling world of vibe-coding (yes, you heard that right) and showing you how Gemini 2.5 Flash can whip up a flashcard game for any topic you need to cram — sorry, "master"— just by uploading your trusty old file with the materials. Let's get the ball rolling.

What on Earth is Vibe-Coding?

Vibe-coding is not about making your keyboard light up like a Christmas tree (though, respect if it does). It's about coding based on a feeling rather than a rigid, old-school plan. Think of it as throwing your ideas into a cosmic blender, trusting the process, and watching something surprisingly brilliant come out. Structured chaos. My natural habitat. In other words: coding for people with no idea about coding. Less overthinking, more doing. Sounds like a gym motto, but without the sweat and regrets.

Enter Gemini 2.5 Flash: Your Vibe-pal

Now, what if you could pair your cosmic creativity with an AI sidekick that actually "gets" you?

Gemini 2.5 Flash is that nerdy friend you never knew you needed. You feed it your revision materials — a Word document, a PDF, even your ancient lecture notes typed with your nose at 3AM — and it helps you generate a simple interactive flashcard game. In this case, no need for the big guns, aka Gemini 2.5 Pro, unless you want to overcomplicate things. Remember, more compute, more damage to the planet. Let's be sensible.

No PhD in Python required. No sacrificing small animals to the tech gods. Just:

• Upload your file to Gemini 2.5 Flash

• Prompt Gemini: "Hey, create an interactive educational flashcards game to help my students do the revision of the materials I provided in this file. It must consist of at least 50 cards and cover evenly all sections in the materials. Make sure the code is optimized for all kind of screens and devices, including smartphones."

• Make sure you have selected the 'Canvas' option to see the code generated and the preview of the result.

• Watch the magic happen

In our case, we provided a publicly available document about the European Handball Federation Legal Regulations. With great generosity, Gemini provided a whooping 145 cards for our revision of these absolutely enthralling materials 🤔... This is the result. One go, honestly.

What next?

All we need to do now is:

• Copy the code

• Open Notebook and paste the code

• Save as .html file

• Open your HTML file with any browser locally or upload it to your educational platform

After that, it is up to you to make further improvements. My advice: ask Gemini to suggest potential improvements before going into further iterations. This will ground your expectations, but it may surprise you with things you didn't think about.
We asked to include a toggle for a dark theme, a progress bar, a score and a shuffle option. After 2 iterations, this is the result.

All that's left is for you to go out there and have fun. You don't need to know how to interpret code like Neo in The Matrix to make revision fun, fast, and as fabulously messy as a cat in a yarn factory. Vibe-coding with Gemini, or any other decent model, makes it now possible — and frankly, makes you look cooler than the Arctic in shades.

Give it a go. Let the vibes take over. And remember: if it feels like a hot mess, you're probably doing it right!
