- | 1. Intro |
- +--------------------------------------+
-
- Welcome to the Alpha 1 version of Kanji Hanabi for Pilot!
- Kanji Hanabi Alpha 1 is a prerelease version of a Japanese Kanji
- learning aid for your Pilot.
-
- Please send me email at sam@neth.com if you discover bugs in
- the program, or if you have ideas for future enhancements of
- Kanji Hanabi.
-
- I think Kanji Hanabi for Pilot will be shareware, with the
- unregistered version being restricted to the first grade or two
- or three. I don't hope to make a fortune from it, but creating
- bitmaps for almost 1000 kanji is time consuming, and I have to
- pay for all my broken Pilot screens.
-
- I haven't determined yet what the price will be, however, so if
- you have any advice for me in this area, please offer.
-
- Kanji Hanabi for Pilot can be installed on your Pilot the same
- way that any other add-on application is installed. If you
- need instructions, please try http://www.pilot.org/pinstall.htm.

- | 2. Features of Kanji Hanabi |
- +--------------------------------------+
-
- Kanji Hanabi Alpha 1 shows you a picture of one of the 76 first grade
- kanji, and give you a choice of four meanings.
-
- Your score is displayed, indicating how many kanji you have been
- shown, and how many meanings you have guessed correctly.
-
- Kanji Hanabi remembers which kanji you don't know very well, and
- shows them to you more frequently, to force you to learn all of them.
-
- Thank you for using Kanji Hanabi!
-
-
- +--------------------------------------+
- | 3. Future Enhancements |
- +--------------------------------------+
-
- I plan to significantly enhance Kanji Hanabi. These are some of the
- larger enhancements I am considering.
-
- - Save current score and kanji knowledge when you switch to another
- Pilot application. Continue where you left off when you return.
- - Clear score, kanji knowledge, or both.
- - Include the 996 kanji in grades 1-6.
- - Include all of the 1900-something general use kanji.
- - Include kanji readings, as an alternative to meaning.
- - Add vocabulary practice.
- - Timed drills.
-
- Please send me feedback so that I can incorporate your ideas.
