Chinese Character Flashcards by Erik

(Note: the newest version of this program can be found here. 
You may download it and run as a standalone but source codes
are not available so it's not an open source now.)

A Java applet to assist in the learning of Chinese characters. Currently the
1,000 most frequently used characters are in the database.

How to Use:

Levels: The table is divided into ten levels, with 100 characters in each
level. When you click on "Random", the character shown will be in one of
these levels. The levels go from 1 (most commonly used characters) to 10
(less commonly used characters).
Data Fields: For each character, you can see the pinyin romanization,
English definition, total number of strokes, and Cantonese pronounciation
in the Yale system. If you do not want a particular field to be shown,
click on the check box next to the field.
Navigation buttons: You have the option of moving amonst the characters
by moving directly up or down to the adjacent character in the table or
to go to a random character somewhere in one of the levels selected.
You can also type in an index number from 0 to 999 to go directly to a
certain character.
Display Buttons: You have the option of having the character come up in
its traditional or simplified form. Stroke counts for the simplified
forms are not yet accurate but will be. You can also choose how you want
data about the character displayed. For "Show All", all data (pinyin,
English definition, etc.) will be shown for each character. "Delayed Show"
will cause the applet to wait a few seconds before showing the data, giving
the user time to quiz his or herself on the character. "Hide All" hides all
the data fields. The buttons will override any changes you made directly to
the fields using their own checkboxes.
