A Chinese character flash card game built in JavaScript with the goal of making Chinese less scary to the uninitiated.
== 3000 goal
According to the BBC, there are over 50,000 characters. An educated Chinese needs to know 8000 of them and 2-3000 are needed to read a newspaper.
This snippet when run on an appropriate selector can find some of those 3000.
const selector = '.story-body'
let allChars = document.querySelector(selector).textContent.replace(/[\n \t0-9A-Za-z\/\*\&\。\.\)\，\"\}\{\;\-\(\'\、\,\[\]\（\）\？\”\“\—\:\+\─]/g, '').split('');
uniqueChars = allChars.filter((char, i) => allChars.indexOf(char) === i);
JSON.stringify(uniqueChars)
So I'll run that snippet every week, I'll then import them into the repo:
> cli.js listOfCharacters.json
and then manually I'll go through the with the goal of learning them and somehow make them into a game.
Gulp.
