RANDPY ----- Chinese Character Random Display
We have more and more very serious Chinese programs these days. Here I
write something just for fun. This is a Chinese character random
display program called "randpy", which takes advantage of the "hzview"
program by Fungfung Lee and the Pinyin-GB table by Ed Lai.
"RANDPY" randomly choose a Chinese character and its pinyin, displays
it on the terminals. You can use it to learn to read correct Chinese
pronunciation at your lunch time, or put it in your .logout to leave a
Chinese character on the screen! You will find out that there are so
many Chinese characters that you know the meaning but pronounce it
wrong.
"RANDPY' is written on UNIX but maybe run on DOS. The Mac version will
be a much nice looking 'AfterDark" module used as a screen saver.
To use it, you need to have the "hzview" package by Fung F. Lee
(available by anonymous ftp: ahkcus.org [192.55.187.25]).
randpy | hzview
or
randpy -b | hzview
which display the pinyin in characters as big as the Chinese characters.
In the 'lunch" script, it shows chinese characters randomly and
continuously with the pinyin. You can watch and learn chinese when
you're eating your sandwich.
The accompany "pinyin.hz" file is compiled by Ed Lai. I use the "HZ"
format rather than the "GB" format (pinyin.gb in ahkcus.org /src/pc),
since it can be easily edit or look at the content.
To install, just type:
make randpy
then put pinyin.hz in the directory defined by environment varaible
"HZDIR" (as defined in "hzview" program).
randpy is in anonymous ftp site ahkcus.org (192.55.187.25) src/unix
Enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters!
