Learn Japanese changelog
v0.8 · Mar 1, 2011
Developer's note:
Hey young world, Ponlork here with a brand new release of my Learn Japanese app. This version is signed so it should work on all PSPs. I've added Katakana support, 3 new stages, plus the ability to save! Clearing all the stages will access a ending. I've also included more audio and a lot of other surprises as well. Hiragana & Katakana mode only works on PSP 1000 & 2000 models, I couldn't get the 日本語 text to display on a PSPGo so you'll have to make do with romaji for now. I'll get it resolved in my next release. This program Uses intraFont by BenHur and LuaPlayer Euphoria V8 by Zack. Thanks to everybody for all the support, suggestions, feedback and corrections. I wanted to give shout outs but it's been a while and I kinda forgot a lot of names. Gomen Nasai.

Good News Everybody! I finally finished work on a new version of my game. Gomen Nasai for the delay, I wanted to focus this release mainly on implementing Japanese kana. Well thanks to intraFont by BenHur, this version now supports Hiragana. I also improved the controls so it's much more faster and responsive. In Hiragana mode, I added a few punctuation marks, you can access the Comma period and Question marks by hitting R+Square. I'll include Katakana later. Besides that, other changes include a new Opening PMF Video, New Intro, and I added a extra stage.
I should also take this time to properly credit others on my previous releases. Learn Japanese Versions 1-5 uses Emeric0101's patched version of InsertWittyName's Lua Player 0.20, Ver 0.6 uses LuaPlayer Euphoria v8 by Zack, and this current version uses LuaPlayerHM 8.1 by Homemister. Unfortunately, after porting it over I was unable to get the MP3s & Wavs to intermingle with each other, so I had to drop two MP3s. I'll re-include them later when I switch over to PGE. I'm inching closer to my masterpiece

Hello everybody I got some big updates. I added a Menu, 2 extra stages, plus a victory animation when you clear a stage. To complete a stage you must achieve a streak of 21. I also added some more audio pronunciations, and I changed the way the answers are displayed. Now when you hit R+O the answers will display permanently until you turn it off. To access the menu press R+Triangle. Custom Questions not working yet.

Hello, this is a trivia game designed to help people memorize Japanese words. It's quite simple, a word pops up in English and you just need to translate it in Japanese. I also integrated a Multi-tap style text entry system to input the text. This is my first attempt at programming, I plan to add more lessons and features in the future once I get better.
Notes:
You can reveal the answer by Holding the R button and pressing Circle. Pressing the Select button will switch the keypad mode. For a spacebar, Hold R and tap forward
