Primal Flashcards (beta) released!

group website.
NOTE: Do not repost these files anywhere...the program is still in
beta.
Please let me know what works and what doesn't, and let us know which
platform(s) you tried it under. I included two flashcard packs so you
can test most of the features. Much of the utility phonetic
translator won't apply in those packs, but I've tested that already.

the font detection.
Reuploaded just now because of a bug I forgot to fix after
refactoring.

I only could take a quick look because my time is short, but it seems to be working OK
Take care! Goodbye!

Maybe "PrimalFlashcards/jar" was a typo for "PrimalFlashcards.jar"?

I believe the problem is that you need to tell java to run it as a jar file,
where you were running it as though it was source code. The command should
look something like:
java -jar PrimalFlashcards.jar
...where -jar is the option to inform java that the argument is a .jar file,
not a class file.

Yeah that made it work, also found using "OpenWith" the java runtime
worked as well. Font detection works just fine too. I played with it a
little and haven't seen any problems so far.
Would like to see some Common Phrases packs, like the phrases from the
tutorial. Not to rush you though, i know this is only beta.

I'll have time to work on it next weekend...so be sure to test it over the
course of the week and let me know what works.
The only thing I wanted to implement but wasn't able to was vertical
centering of the text on the flashcards. This sounds like an easy thing but
is a royal pain in the ass using the platform-independent font metrics
system (getting the text to autofit was a major coup--it should work without
producing scrollbars). I may or may not care enough to try to fix that for
another day or two, depending on whether people care.

flashcard program a try cause i was curious, I didn't expect anything
to really happen cause of missing libs font and flashcard packs. Do
you know if its a lot of work to make a java program compatible with
phones? It would be awesome to study Primal on my lunch break. :)

You would have to have the java runtime engine (JRE) installed on your
phone, and the phone would need to have a resolution compatable with the
program (there's a minimum size, the way it's designed). I don't mean to be
grim, but: the first case is not likely and the second case is really
unlikely.
If you can figure out a way to do it, though, do tell. :) I'm working on
other things at the moment, and I'll be back to the flashcard program soon.
It sounds like it works on all the platforms people have tested it on.
