It sounds fun.
I just read the description and something intrigues me: how do you
choose the CURRENCY_DELTAS for the tasks? I honestly don't think I would
be able to decide the price of each of my TODOs, at least without a
method.
Moreover, this property appears to be something we could derive from the
other properties like the EFFORT. We could say for instance that the
more the EFFORT is, the more the CURRENCY_DELTAS should be. Is that
possible to do with the library?
Anyway, thank you for sharing this library. I think it may help me keep
my agendas cleaner than they are now.

Looks very interesting, would probably be the perfect tool for an
Org-mode based weight-watchers group or so (using real €uros or $ollars
as gaming-currency) - if you can convince Average Alice of
Emacs/Org-mode of course.

This looks quite interesting. I’m going to have to try it out. On a similar vein, I started (but kind of stalled) working on my own gamification for learning Emacs (available on MELPA):
https://bitbucket.org/gvol/emacs-achievements
Right now it’s only achievements (and I didn’t have any plans of anything else like experience). I need to write more achievements to unlock (suggestions greatly welcome—especially org related), and I think it might be cool to integrate with org-gamify to offer a richer experience.

Thanks for creating this. I just have some issues:
1. There is no easy way to share the Inventory between multiple
machines/emacs setups.
I sync my .org files/folders via Unison. But the the current inventory
state is saved
via `savehist-*' and thus get saved in my machine-local
.emacs.d/history file.
2. If i change a task state multiple times by accident (e.g.:
TODO->DONE->TODO->DONE) i also get rewarded multiple times.
I know this is useful for repeating tasks. But there is no easy way to
UNDO an invalid reward,
Any hints appreciated.
Jürgen
