Samurai Anki

This game is a proof of concept of a learning game. "Anki" is the Japanese word for "memorization". Anki is also software to learn things based on memorization.

In this game you are a samurai duelling some enemy. You are given kanjis and three possible answers, you must choose the correct one to deal damage to the foe.

What if i don't know anything about Japanese? This game is targeted at people learning the language, so if you don't have any knowledge of Japanese is going to be harder. If you don't want to learn Japanese but enjoy memory games you might like it. Give it a try!

This game is indevelopment. What I want to have in the future:

• Train the game with the answers so it gives the player the kanjis that are the most difficult to the player.
• Timer for the actions.

What I have learned while developing this proof of concept?

• C# events using delegates.  Using this pattern you can decouple more your components, making it easier to add new functionality and refactor existing one.
• Unlit shaders. I have used a very restrictive palette of 5 colors. With the fog and some post-processing I have achieved some gradients and I find the overall aesthetic pleasing.
• Sounds are a very powerful tool to give feedback to the player and give weight to the characters. The sounds are based on Kung Fu movies from the 70s and 80s.
