Good start. You should highlight the correct answer and pause for a second before moving onto the next. You could also implement some kind of scoring system.

mainly doing little projects that eventually get put in the recycle bin...

that's stupid, you should keep all artifacts from the past, its like destroying all old buildings on earth!

For first project it's very pretty. Good luck!

Since you asked for opinions on your coding-style: It's very neat! Much neater than most of my code tends to be. Of course, when you start splitting the code into multiple files and classes, it will get a little more complicated, but looking at your code right now, I'm sure you'll get that right as well.

Two things I noticed:
a) you should make _everything_ local which doesn't absolutely have to be global. Of course, here, it doesn't matter much since you're only using one file and the project is still small - but later on, you should really look out for that, so it's good practice to start making everything local (inside and outside of functions) even now.
b) Some of your lines are very long (see line 118 for example). This results in ugly line breaks. Lua is very forgiving with line breaks, you can try something like

Code: Select all

if (mx > b1px and my > b1py) and (mx < (b1px + image_buttonHiraganaNormal:getWidth()) and
    my < (b1py + image_buttonHiraganaNormal:getHeight())) then

instead. That's nicer for many editors and monitors (including pastebin, as you can see)


Another, not code-related point: The title screen isn't that great in my opinion. Some words are hardly readable and the red buttons don't really fit into the background nor with the overall colour.

Other than that, very good start, and welcome to the forums and Love!


@jjmafae, he said _recycle_ bin... that means he might re-use the code, which is nice

no recycle bin is the place that delete files and stuff

Looks pretty good. I also think you should add some type of score or indication of an incorrect answer, or both. I also think you should add all of the characters with 濁点 like ざ、が、ば、the ones with 半濁点 like ぱ and ぷ, and the 拗音 like きょ、ちゅ、にゃ、and so on.

Ah yes that would be a good idea, that's a definite thing that I will be adding, since I struggle with the dakuten a lot.
