Synopsis

Chinese Character Teaching Tools

Tools

Chinese Maker

It makes character flash cards in batches.

Execute the lines in test.py:

ChineseCardMaker().generate_separate_images()

ChineseCardMaker().generate_character_pinyin_image()

The command will generate images with characters and pinyins set in CharacterPinyinMapping, and create files in the folders defined inside configs: CHARACTER_IMAGE_FILE_NAME_PREFIX, PINYIN_IMAGE_FILE_NAME_PREFIX, CHARACTER_PINYIN_FOLDER

Kahoot Processor

It generates Excel sheet quickly for Kahoot question uploading. It takes a lot of time to add questions on Kahoot, so it is easier to use Excel spreadsheet to add questions in a large amount.
