⚠️ Experimental Prototype: Please note that this project is currently in the experimental phase and serves as a prototype. It is not fully production-ready, so you might encounter some bugs or features that don't work perfectly!
A minimalist, interactive typing game and puzzle built with React to make learning Hanacaraka (Javanese script) simple, fun, and engaging.
The core idea is straightforward: type the Javanese script as accurately and quickly as possible, and solve simple writing puzzles. Through repeated play and exposure, users will naturally build muscle memory and learn to recognize Hanacaraka characters seamlessly.
- Fast-paced Typing Gameplay: Test your typing speed and accuracy with Hanacaraka characters.
- Hanacaraka Writing Puzzles: Engage with simple puzzles designed to help you learn how to write the characters.
- Multiple Game Modes: Practice with different word limits (10, 25, 50, 100) or try the infinite typing mode.
- Accessibility Focus: Designed for an optimal experience across both desktop and mobile devices.
You can try the game directly in your browser without any installation!

The project idea is inspired by some existing language learning and typing applications, adapted to promote Javanese culture:
- Monkeytype - For the core typing test mechanics and minimalist aesthetic.
- Duolingo - Specifically inspired by their fun, puzzle-like approach to teaching Japanese scripts (Hiragana/Katakana), adapting that engaging learning style to Hanacaraka.
