Reward animations...

I am quite soon through with two of the larger lists. It would be cool to have some kind of secret animation or magical power that is unlocked when you are through with such a long term endevour - maybe after a "boss-level-high-strictness mode"?

You could add those after HSK 1, HSK 2, HSK 3 - and of course after finishing HSK 1-4!1

Just to add to the fun factor. I found that Skritter has pretty much become an entertaining game for me.


No, this is is not of high priority. A feature like Sentence practice / dictation would definately be more importatant.

I second the motion ;) After such an investment one really does "rock." And deservedly should be told so :D

I want some kung fu animations!

Or options to further customize the way skritter looks as a reward, some neat looking backgrounds, old Chinese painting style :)

yeah, retention rankings :D

We've got a lot of ideas like this, some smaller, some larger. Probably the only one to come really soon might be the scoreboards.

As you say, things like pinyin and definition practice, mnemonics, and decompositions are going to happen before any other big things of the fun sort.
