PSP Kanji Screen

Sammy Fatnassi has emailed us with a new release today, PSP Kanji. This is the first release of PSP Kanji, a Japanese Kanji learning tool for the PSP. For those of you that don't know what Kanji is, it's a form of Japanese character writing, originally derived from Chinese. So if you fancy learning a bit of Japanese writing, or you just want to brush up on an old skill, feel free to try this out!

This version is quite good as it splits different forms of Kanji into different Japanese grades associated with them. Although this is pretty basic, Sammy Fatnassi plans to add many new features for future releases, including quizzes and other learning tools to make Kanji learning even more fun - as if it isn't already! Also, Sammy plans to release the source code when he is satisfied with it, allowing all you budding Kanji masters to write your own version of this one or modify it.

Features:

Prototype version, got some nicely animated windows, displaying Kanjis information.
Ground work mostly completed

To do list:

Add different quiz mode
Add ability let user create their own kanji list for quiz
Add support for french
Work on GUI
Add shadow to fonts

Sammy would also like to thank James Green for his Kanjis compilation Kanjidic, which inspired Sammy in writing PSP kanji.

I sent this software to both Ps2Dev and PspUpdates. On the Ps2Dev forum, I added a link to the download page of PspUpdate, to get the program. There was no news theft or something.

Small correction, I was thanking 'Jim Breen' for the public Kanjidic compilation.

I intend to ass full skin support later on, and actually make it usefull to learn Kanjis by adding Quizzes.

# Nice! — Guest 2006-07-24 08:44

Good Stuff, Sammy!

# Useful — Guest 2006-07-24 09:22

Hey, this is a great program for studying some kanji on the go! The ability to add your own quiz/wordlists would be great! ^_^ .

Another feature that would be cool to have is the ability to use the built in japanese input method so the user can try to write the quiz kanji in hiragana and then convert it into the displayed kanji for verification.

Small nitpick; I noticed there is a little spelling error in the screenshot - it should read 'pronunciation' I guess ;)

Thanks Sammy!

# Prononciation / Pronunciation — Guest 2006-07-24 09:29

Too similar to the french word for me notice the spelling :) :) :)

The ability to create your own list is planned. Plus pre-made list based of lots of learnings manuals.

# おめでとう！！！ — Guest 2006-07-24 10:39

ありがと！！

# Great — Guest 2006-07-24 11:07

thanx sammy.. i wish there could also be numbered writing strokes.. very cool...

# ok THIS ID BULL ***** — Guest 2006-07-24 11:21

i speak and write japanese... please let me tell you those who wants to learn how to write/read ( mostly write kanji for this case).... Please simple start by buying or renting books and studing from them . Only way to be good at kanji is LOTS of practice and yes ..... LOTS of IMAGINATION

that is the most crucial factors in learning kanji and understanding them imagine and memorize... thank you and have good net time.

# writing strokes — Guest 2006-07-24 11:21

vhangell : Yeah, I'll include that option too. Really this first version just display kanji definition, first stage of production.

# To pcx — Guest 2006-07-24 11:45

You're welcome :)

# Beautiful — Guest 2006-07-24 12:07

Very nice program! It's already showing so much promise! I wish I had this before I took the KanKen level 10 though :)

What I would love to see is a side by side rough translation for the english meaning/spoken japanese part. For example, on "One" (Ichi) it says Ichi to the side, but in Katakana for some reason... But still, this is a first release, and it's very simple and effective! :)

PLEASE Keep up the amazing work.

# fw version? — Guest 2006-07-24 12:22

thanx

# uhm.... — Guest 2006-07-24 12:58

as reference..

::::::

i love reading books... but i dont always bring my books with me all the time.. as for my psp. I have it with me always... so please dont say that 'This is bull..' coz it aint.

# Suggestion. — Guest 2006-07-24 13:48

Could you separate the pronounciation between on and kun readings?

# message police — Guest 2006-07-24 14:18

you gotta stop moderating these messages so much,

its a bit 1984 like

not good from a "community" website

# Another Suggestion — Guest 2006-07-24 17:12

It would be wonderfull if you could add some romanji in there as well.Especially in your pronounciation collumn. I'm still learning hiragana and katakana.

# help — Guest 2006-07-24 17:46

this 4 sum reason wont work on my 2.6 it jus keeps going back to eloader when i click it

# Very interesting. — Talbain 2006-07-25 01:24

Thanks Sammy! Keep up the good work!

# Firmware > 1.5 problem — Guest 2006-07-25 06:20

I made this for firmware 1.5. It uses kernel access. To work with eLoader I would have to see about removing kernel access.

# Excellent idea — Guest 2006-07-25 07:27

I am looking forward to seeing the quizzes maybe multiple choice is that how it will work? I had always been using a free website for ESL students manythings.org and with that i learned thousands of words in japanese in several months it has flash matching quizzes lots of really long ones like 79 dozen / test i dunno if u could make something sorta just like that probably need some sorta mouse/cursor but that would rule.

# KANJI — Guest 2006-07-25 09:17

WOW this is *****ing stupid

# Thanks for the program — Guest 2006-07-25 12:39

This sounds great especially since It's organized (I have a Kanji dictionary but it just seems to have them thrown in randomly) and I don't have to carry it around.

Note: The On and Kun readings are seperated On is in katakana and Kun is in hiragana.

Note2: The ability to play mp3s while whilst studying Kanji would make the program even sweeter

# Anwser to Un-Ethical — Guest 2006-07-25 14:33

I went to look at the website, thanks, I'll take some idea from there for future releases. That's the kind of thing I had in mind.

Now, if some people happen to make a theme for the windows, please send me the result, I'll be happy to include it in future release, I do not have as much time as I'd like to polish the visuals, you know, with full time work and significant other ;)

# hey — anonymous stranger 2006-07-25 21:26

why dont our chinese devs make a program like this teaching chinese calligraphy? i know id like to use it!

# help — Guest 2006-08-04 04:43

after i down load kanji were do i put it on my PSP??? becuase there are different folders on the PSP and im not sure what one is the right 1 to put it into?

# Install infos — Guest 2006-08-06 04:21

-Copy the 2 folders the zipe file include (xxxxPspKanji & xxxxPspKanji%) on your memory stick in : (MemStickDrive) :\PSP\GAME\

-Start your Psp and go into the psp startscreen

-Pick 'Game->Memory Stick'

-Pick 'Psp Kanji' in the list.

If the game doesn't start it's becuase this unfortunatly only work with the psp firmware 1.5
