Speaking of...
I ran into this weird bug with the timer:
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
Interesting bug. Somehow, questionStartTime has a bigger value than questionEndTime. If you find a way to reproduce the bug always, I can look into it.
passingby wrote: Kind of related,
Is there any way to reset the course timer besides starting a different course, then going back to the one you want to start again?
Or a way to restart it when you start from a new break point?
No there isn't, but you could easily code a reset functionality. I can help you into start (as my code isn't that clear) and you may release it with your name (I don't mind at all). For reseting the timer, I suggest to do it within waitPress function ( search waitPress = function() ). Then search "local pad = Controls.readPeek()". See this:

if (pad:cross() or pad:triangle() or pad:circle() or pad:square()) then
screen.waitVblankStart(20);
break;

Let's modify this line by triggering the reset functionality when user press triangle. In this case, we do this:

#############################################

if (pad:cross() or pad:circle() or pad:square()) then
screen.waitVblankStart(20);
break;

elseif (pad:triangle()) then
-- clearing timer related variables (questionTotalTime is the most important as it's a global variable).
questionTime = 0;
answerAverage = 0;
estimationTime = 0;
questionTotalTime = {0, 0};
screen.waitVblankStart(20);
#############################################

I see you shortened the right.png's. You might also want to add a feature to hide right.png and timer. If we only do this locally, we could

#############################################

waitPress = function()
local showTimerAndAnswer = true -- don't add key word local if you want the setting to be global.

-- some code in between

if (waitTimerAndAnswer) then
if (question == first) then
screen:blit(60, 116, right);
elseif (question == second) then
screen:blit(60, 146, right);
elseif (question == third) then
screen:blit(60, 176, right);
else
screen:blit(60, 206, right);
end
end

-- some code in between

if (waitTimerAndAnswer) then
ifontLtn:setStyle(0.6, lime, darkgray, IntraFont.ALIGN_LEFT);
ifontLtn:print(107, 100, "Answering time: " .. round(questionTime) .. " / Average: " .. round(answerAverage) );
ifontLtn:print(107, 115, "Total time: " .. round(questionTotalTime[1]) .. " / Estimation left: " .. round(estimationTime));
end

-- then when use another key to change the variable waitTimerAndAswer, for example:

-- some code before
elseif (pad:circle()) then
if (waitTimerAndAsnwer) then
waitTimerAndAnwser = false;
else
waitTimerAndAnswer = true;
end
screen.waitVblankStart(20);
-- some code after

#############################################

Note, may not "compile" as is, but you should get the main idea.

Re: AnyLanguageStudy v3.0 U (by Nakano)

Post by passingby »

With permission from Nakano (and his help) I've added a couple of new features.

Unofficial Update 9/22/2011
* Pressing TRIANGLE will reset the timer.
* Pressing SQUARE will hide/reveal the pop-up text.
* Remembering the Kanji list now uses larger images, a different layout, has been separated into two lists, and break points have been added.
* Country Flags list now uses continent/region break points instead of alphabetical.
* Extra styles. (4-6 are designed for image lists that use the left half of the screen for images, they simply have a modified 'right.png')

Download:
AnyLanguageStudy v3.0 U

Examples:
[spoiler]Larger Remembering the Kanji list (using style6):

Pressing TRIANGLE here resets the timer:

Pressing SQUARE hides the pop-up text (so you can study your image/answer, copy kanji strokes, etc.) :
Image

For timing yourself; I recommend finding your range/break point, answer once to bring up the timer, hit TRIANGLE to reset it, hit 'R' and clear the range, then you're ready to start answering.
Keep an eye on the estimated time left, when it shows 0.00s that means you've completed the range so you can take note of your average answer speed and total time for your records.[/spoiler]

Yes the one found from Qj.net is the latest from me. The download links are down due to the shutdown of Megaupload.
Hmm... I also seem to have a difficulty to download v3.0 U. However, I happen to have that version in my PSP. Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?h8vcbq6eui2i6uh (I think it's not signed, though).

As this is programmed with LuaPlayer Euphoria v8, the eboot included with LuaPlayer installation pack should work fine (http://dl.qj.net/down/luaplayer-euphoria-v8-full.html). However, this unsigned eboot contains the latest AnyLanguageStudy eboot images. Does it work now with Vita (replace the current eboot with the included)?

Nice to see this thread again.
I don't know why my old link doesn't work any more, thanks for the fixed link Nakano.

I made some small adjustments to 3.0 U a while back if anybody is interested:

Replaced "Set once complete" with just "Set Complete".
"Set Complete" displays as soon as you make your last answer (instead of on the next repeat question).
"Set Complete" always displays for each range/break point you've completed while you browse back and forth (instead of only during a question).

Also, you can set the coordinates for "right.png"(the same way you set the button coordinates) in a word list (see included Flag/RTK.csv files, you just need to set a value for righta, b, c, d).
Examples:
[spoiler]The green check is "right.png":
Image
Here it is with no value set:
Image[/spoiler]

It's not worth repackaging everything, so here are the necessary files: (find and replace)
http://www.mediafire.com/?78mm7sh4b8rx3nz
I also included the style 4-6 folders with the "right.png" check mark.

I wish I had more free time to implement a few more of my ideas.

Thank you again Passingby! That tick sign actually looks very nice. It's also nice to hear that you're still interested in trying new ideas to make the homebrew even better. We could probably also have a wrong sign. If the user answers wrongly, a wrong sign is added above the button.

I decided to repack your latest version with unsigned eboot anyway. It's easier for people who doesn't know the structure of the homebrew (or don't want to do replacing). AnyLanguageStudy v3.0 U2 by passingby can be downloaded from here. I added the U2-text to the eboot image, though.
