FCards - Flash Cards program

FCards is simple Flash-Cards program designed for Maemo devices like Nokia N900 (N810 and PC are also supported).

It comes with example Kanji courses for a few lessons of James Heisig’s “Remembering the Kanji” book.

It's licensed under GNU/GPL so it costs nothing.

If you want to create your own courses, take a look at files in /home/user/MyDocs/courses of your Maemo device. First two entries of each file are HTML templates for questions and answers respectively. Then comes questions and answers. After you prepare your own files, put them in the same directory as builtin courses and restart FCards program.

It’s also possible to run this program on PC, but it may be ugly (it’s designed for N900/N810/N800) and there’s probably thousands of better programs for PCs. On pc you have to pass a path to courses as program’s first argument, e.g.:
./fcards courses
If it doesn’t work try doing:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-gui

Progress bar visible on the right side of the main program window means how much you already remember. 100% means that your last two responses for every question were “I know/I knew”. FCards will obviously try to repeat more often things that you don’t know.
