what exactly does the girl do

@lents3

nothing, it's just to make it more pleasing to the eye haha however I would like to have it where she'll react to certain situations like if you get an answer correct she may do a special animation or if the answers wrong she'll have flustered look. So far I just have a victory animation when a stage is cleared but in the future I'll like to have more.

There's a lot of helpful communities out there, I suggest Evilmana & Retroemu, psp-hacks & qj.net. But I only ask for help if I'm completely stuck. When writing code, don't worry so much about it being sloppy, the most important thing is understanding why it works. That takes time & experience, once you start making new releases u start to look back & discover ways to optimize & make things cleaner. Don't get discourage if u dont understand why a function works, just keep moving forward. がんばって！

Hi pumpfever, my advice would be to find ways to stay motivated. Nobody likes to follow tutorials & make apps dat ppl feel are useless. What kept me motivated was the Learning Japanese aspect & on screen keyboard I developed. Besides dat, its really just a trivia game but it's useful so dat kept me interested. As for learning Lua, I started by doing a lot of reading & following tutorials, I always try to figure things out for myself 1st. Start out simple but try to make sumthin u can be proud of

This is awesome! I have been wanting to make a psp japanese learning game for a long time, but first I have to learn to program in Lua! and in more in general! could you give me some advice? =)

@DemiGodX Oh ok, thanks a lot!

[DemiGodX]

Oh for characters such as が (ga) use the analog stick to shift the か (ka) to ga. Some Char such as は (ha) you can change it from either ば (ba) or ぱ (pa) by pressing the analog stick up or downwards. you can also downshift certain characters such as つ (tsu) or や (ya) to a small っ & ゃ, this serves various purposes like if you want to type ryu in Hiragana u'll need a combination of ri (り) & yu (ゅ) which makes りゅ (ryu). I also added a Comma Period & Question Mark you can access it by hittin R+Square

Man there's some exciting news coming our way in the homebrew scene. I can't wait to see where the TN-B HEN and code signing stuff takes us. I've already begun work on v.08, so sorry for prolonging it. It's still something I'm very passionate about so rest assured I won't abandon the project.
