I started working on my Japanese vocab learning app &tokacard again for the first time since the jam in September. It's evolved quite a bit - we have a loading screen, a stats page, a settings page, and a reworked data/save format that supports adding other learning tracks (types of quizzes). I'm still settling on what the aesthetic of the app will be, so it's a bit disparate, but overall it's coming together quite nicely. Best of all, I can actually use it while I improve upon it!

TokaCard is a little program that I plan to use for learning Japanese vocabulary. Right now, it offers multiple choice quizzing and a simple scheduling algorithm.

Why reinvent a flashcard learning program? There are already multiple programs that do the same thing (Anki and Renshuu are notable examples). Anki is excellent for learning to recall information, but recall on it's own takes longer to learn. Renshuu is excellent for learning recognition, but I find it lacks in the ability to teach me to recall content. TokaCard's ultimate goal, once completed, is to ease you in by teaching recognition first and then teaching recall later.
