    Hanzi.gg – Wordle-inspired Chinese character guessing game2022 · hanzi.gg · ▲13

    Tap on a character to reveal the strokes, radicals and components it has in common with the character you're trying to guess. This was designed mainly for learners but I'm curious to hear from fluent hanzi readers whether the game is too easy. The vocabulary is from the Chinese Vocab List project [1]. Character graphics and data are sourced from Make me a Hanzi [2]. There are 95 pre generated games at the moment which are randomly chosen, more will be added soon. Suggestions welcome!

    Just for fun, I built a language learning tool. It represents Chinese and Japanese as graphs of characters, with connections indicating given characters can form a word. It can also decompose characters to give clues on how they're pronounced, analyzes words to understand which ones are commonly used together, and more. It's fully interactive, supports offline use, generates flashcards, has sentences from humans and from AI, and plenty of other features.

    Kurdle – Wordle Meets Japanese Kanji2024 · ▲14

    Hello HN! I built Kurdle (https://japanesecomplete.com/kurdle.html), a Wordle variant that teaches Japanese kanji through English word patterns. Each day features a new kanji that replaces a vowel in a 5-letter English word. For example, the kanji 人 (meaning "person") might replace the "U" in "HUMAN", showing as "H人MAN". Players learn kanji meanings while solving familiar word puzzles. Features: - Daily puzzles using common kanji from the essential 777 list - Streak tracking to encourage regular practice - "Hacker mode" UI theme (toggle in top right) - Progressive learning -…

    isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC▲1,325

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
