Homebrew coder iya has dropped by our forum to release a new version of Kanji King PSP, a handy app designed to anyone who wants to expand their Japanese kanji study.
Developer's note:
I know there are already a number of Kanji learning programs, but none really suited my needs as I tried to duplicate the functionality of ReadTheKanji.com, Rikaichan and Anki.
So the focus was on the following:
True-type fonts for easy readability.
Lots of data to facilitate learning: meanings, readings, components, vocabulary, both in English and German.
Game like learning mode, with automatic progress, rating and flash card selection.
Ease of use: Press (O) if you remember the kanji, or press (X) if you don't remember it.
The dev added that there are currently three different learning sets: 'Heisig' kanji (>2000), JLPT vocabulary (>8000), Hiragana + Katakana (>200), which can be switched by pressing (Select). For more info about the app, including the control scheme, please check out the README included in the download.
