The goal of the game is to remove cardsfrom thegame until only the Aces are left. When the game roundbegins, fourcards have been drawn and visibly placed on fourprepared cardspaces. The player may remove any visible card thatshare the samesuit (spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) as anothervisible card butthat is of a lower value – the Aces is of a highervalue than theKings. If one of the four prepared card spacesbecomes empty, theplayer may move any visible card from one of theother three spacesto the empty space – this could free cards underthe card that wasmoved. A good memory might help the player toperform a good move.The player may at any time use the deck up tothe right to drawfour new cards that are placed on top of each ofthe four preparedcard spaces, hiding the cards that may already bethere. The playerwill not be able to see which cards that will bedrawn from thedeck before they have been placed. The game continuesuntil theplayer runs out of possible moves – there are no cards ofthe samecolor but lower value to remove, there are no empty spacesto movecards to, the deck has no cards left. If only the four Acesareleft, visibly placed on the prepared spaces, the round iscountedas a win for the player. If more cards are left in the game,itdoes not count as a win but a loss.

KanaTrial 1.0.2 APK
This app tries to teach the Japanesekanasyllabaries, hiragana and katakana, through a trial anderrormethod. The user is presented with a single kana one at a timein arandom order, and inputs the romanization of the kana(therepresentation of the kana in letters from the Latin alphabet)withthe virtual keyboard. After inputting an answer, the user isgivendirect visual feedback if the answer was correct or not, andtheapp presents the next kana.The app uses a system of points and rounds. Correct answersgivesthe user points, but any incorrect answer will reset thepoints tozero. The user may use a button to give up on the currentkana andto be presented with the correct answer and the next kana;this willnot reset the score, but the user will not be getting anypointseither. If the user gives a correct answer to every kana inthesyllabary, the number of completed rounds (visible by a counterinthe interface) will go up. Continuous repetition of a syllabaryin arandomized order allows for learning through trial-and-error,and asa way to reinforce the users knowledge of the syllabariesduringother forms of Japanese study.The user can switch between the hiragana syllabary andkatakanasyllabary at will, but switching resets all the numbers intheinterface. The app contains a function to show every kana inthesyllabary currently in use in a full-screen table, includingtheirromanization, but using this function will reset any numberstheuser has achieved.IMPORTANT! The kana romanization answers in this app isbasedupon the Hepburn romanization system, where the romanizationof akana is based upon how the kana would sound using EnglishorItalian phonology. There are other systems of romanization,notused here.IMPORTANT! When used in Japanese, some kana might takeondifferent pronunciations in different situations, which isnotcovered in this app. This has to be covered by other methodsoflearning Japanese.This app does not promise to be free of error or to be perfectinaccordance to the study of Japanese. Keep this in mind whenusingthe app. Proper suggestions of improvements are welcome.
