The other day I was practicing, and it seems like a bug (or a feature?) made it so that I was only given the definition of the character to draw.
I wasn't able about to find anything related to that, but the setting do not have a "definition only practice".
In ZDT, I remember that I had such option, have english definition, guess pinyin, no drawing char though since ZDT never had that feature. I found it quite nice because it is really a check as to whether you know the character or not, whereas having the pinyin is kinda acting as memory crutches, does that make sense?
The only thing in this mode though, is that Skritter would only be able to keep track of the correctness of character drawn and the tone, unless, a space is available to type the pinyin, although having to switch between mouse and keyboard could be unconvenient, tricky there...
In case this topic has already been raised, sorry for bringing it up again!
