The author has developed a software using these features to teach the characters and has received optimistic feedback. The whole process of teaching is organised into an adventure of Monkey King who tries to discover and steal treasures in Emperor Jade's Palace in Heaven. The sequence in teaching is totally different from traditional ones. This discovery learning reduces the memory load, also builds up the ability for distinguishing similar characters which are confusing in form. Graphics and animation plays a essential part here.
Chinese characters are basically picto-graphic and self explanatory.
Animation is used here to illuminate this feature. When the icon for explanation is clicked, a man walks to the tree and take a rest. These visual illustrations greatly enhanced the comprehension and memory of, not only the meaning and form of each character taught but also the way characters are formed. Speech sound, sound effect and music are also playing a part in the program. The testing section consists of arcade games.
