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)
• Assess use of QML, is it mature enough?
• Make it Active: no menubar, no right click, click targets big enough
• Post SoK: theme support outside hard coded theme classes (xml or desktop files)
