Topic: Vocabulary Trainer
Hey Everybody,
I am new to chumby, Flash and programming - but still I want to make a widget. So it would be great if you could help me.
The idea is the following:
I want to make a Chinese-German/English vocabulary trainer. It should work like this:
As there is a upload limit to 100kb the main data should be online somehow.
1. The Mainscreen should show a Chinese character and on the bottom should be a field where one can check the meaning.
2. The left and right screen areas feature an invisible button if one remembers the word or not.
3. So far so good - you can download the widget - it's called "chinese trainer" but still have to be checked by chumby industries. (the link: http://www.chumby.com/guide/widget/Chinese%20Trainer ) install it to your chumby to see how it should work - background will be red!
So what I want to do:
I want to build a database like a stylesheet. Each row should feature:
1. Chinese Character
2. PinYin - that's the thing that tells you how to read a word in roman letters.
3. the translation
4. and a ranking according to the times you didn't know or knew the word. (like each time you don't know the word - difficulty increases by 2)
That should be the database - first off each character manually added.
and than the flash program should read out each field and fit it into the program and the screen.
Try to find my submitted widget for easier visualisation aspect ;-)
It would be great if someone could tell me how to work on that or if it isn't that easy to realize...
Thanks,
Malaoshi
