Kanji Stroke Order (iPhone/iPodTouch web app)
(If you’re not studying Japanese and don’t have an iPhone or iPodTouch, then this post is irrelevant to you.)
In a short break from my studies, I thought I’d whip up a small program using Apple’s Dashcode developers’ tool. It’s probably got more features, but I don’t have the time to figure it all out. For my own use, I created a Japanese Kanji stroke order lookup. You need the New Japanese-English Code (Halpern).
