KDEEdu/KLettres

What is KLettres

• A program to help people learn the alphabet and some syllables in a foreign language

• Level 1: the user sees and hears the letter and must type it

• Level 2: the user only hears the letter and must remember it and type it

• Level 3 and 4 are as Levels 1 and 2 but for syllables.

Refactoring and planned work

• separate data processing from UI: the view class should only have UI handling and painting methods
• refactor the language and sounds handling classes: read XML file and display only available levels for the selected language (parsing of layout document, probably add a class for this)
• add feedback (animations) to tell the user if he is right or wrong
• add some more customization to language files(alternate spellings, font)
• if time: plasma applet

Proposed timeframe

From July 2011 to end of October 2011
