Inspiration
I am learning Chinese and I told my roommate to send me a playlist of songs in Chinese and I ended up really liking one of them so I really want to learn the lyrics in pinyin! The song is called bān mǎ.
What it does
You enter text into the text box (lyrics) and place in the '8' character for splicing. As you press space bar each piece would appear on screen.
How I built it
I used HTML, CSS and Javascript.. and some jQuery
Challenges I ran into
I never really learned java or jQuery, I was without wifi for sometime, and I needed to get acclimated to a new dev environment!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It does what I need it to do to learn Chinese!!! I got the on press listener to work and the text splices correctly!!
What I learned
I learned that jQuery is pretty easy to use if you set it up right and I learned how weird HTML buttons can be.
What's next for bān mǎ
A WAY BETTER UI that slides from either left to right or from up to down depending on what the user specifies. Hopefully a timing method of splicing will be an option for those who want to use it.
