Awww… take it easy guys! There’s no absolute right or wrong for most of the time (unless of course you kill somebody’s cat). What matter the most at the end of the day is you achieve what you intended to do.
Shadow has been well intended, though he sounded "rude" at times, I can see where he is coming from (and to a certain level I agree with him too). I did feel really bad when I first heard from him (damn you Shadow!
), but hey, he would not have pointed out my "mistakes" if he did not intend to help in the first place. So I took it differently, everyone expresses him/herself in different ways.
Thanks for the encouraging words addictedKool, the use case you mentioned was in fact quite a valid one. Of course I would hope to have Stackana extended to be useful in other scenarios too, but that is likely to pose as a great challenge. And it is not that I did not want to follow Shadow’s advice, he has his points. While I'd like to learn kana, my first priority is to try out new technology for making web game, and try to learn kana (if possible).
MissMisa, you are definitely a very fast learner! One day is ultra cool! Well even a person who can write Chinese characters like me might not be able to do that. Just because I can speak Chinese, most kanji characters are known to me by default, but I was trying to imagine how things would have been like for a person who does not know Japanese characters to recognize them. So yeah, and I did that game.
And thanks for suggesting SceptileMaster, some gave me the same feedback too so I have updated (and released v0.5) on my site. It is now using Hebon-shiki romaji rather than using Kunrei-shiki system, since it is more widely accepted.
So if you'd like, please go ahead and try out the
updated Stackana now!
