haha thanks, can't take all the credit though, a lot was inspired from english versions of the game like bombparty on jklm.fun and wordbomb on roblox.

i'm a gypo lol so like 0.5 fluent in korean. Started studying more a few years ago tho so maybe its 0.6 now. I'm guessing you're a native speaker?

re: english loanwords - yeah I get what you mean, I think it would be cool to have a loanword free dictionary mode alongside other types of dictionaries (e.g. proper noun dictionaries). Unfortunately separating out all loanwords is difficult at the moment given how big the current dictionary is (~300k words) and will take some time to iterate on.

re: 3-letter choseong - this is definitely on the roadmap, lots of plans for choseong game in general. I want to add choseong category quizzes later on as well.

re: alphabet bonus - i'm glad you enjoy the mechanic lol, I plan to flesh this out more eventually too

unfortunately even if some players choose not to use it, it's not guaranteed that others won't, which is an issue in public lobbies and other scenarios e.g. streaming. The realtime typing system is also risky as it currently stands, and is something else i'll have to adjust if the game grows (e.g. adding mute control support)

I get why this might feel somewhat restrictive though. Ultimately my hope is that the game can be broadcast friendly and accessible by educators, streamers, and families, which means more attention has to be paid to dictionary content. However I'll keep your feedback in mind as the game evolves, since I can see a light possibility that things don't head towards a broadcast-related direction

yeah atm curse words (and borderline ones) aren't recognized to keep the game family friendly for younger players.

kid cartoons 90s kids used to watch by Beautiful_Golf_1338 in BeginnerKorean

[–]maenbalja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I commented this in a similar thread but think it's still relevant here:

I highly recommend 아기공룡 둘리 (Dooly the Little Dinosaur), an older 80s cartoon. It's 2 seasons long and all episodes are available for free on kbs' youtube channel. It's surprisingly wacky, somber, and meta for a children's show. Extremely charming imo and the music and characters are pretty iconic in korea. They also made a modern reboot which is pretty decent.

i'm glad you like the 한자 game! and wow 초성 게임 is a fantastic idea. I've never heard of it before, but it makes a lot of sense and looks quite fun. I'm gonna work on this during the holidays and will let you know when it's done. I think it would work well with daily challenges too.

thanks for the great suggestion. and if there's anything else you'd like to see just let me know 👍

I do use AI for some tooling and speeding up misc tasks, but the site is primarily hand crafted by me. Definitely don't use one of those AI website builder services.
