Game idea #5: Langauge game

In trying to learn another language (Japanese), I have noticed a stunning lack of language games that are actually fun. I think it would be an interesting experiment to try and make a fun one.


Awhile ago I came a cross a game with an interesting mechanic behind it, here. Essentially what happens is a steady stream of enemies march down the screen and are taken out by typing words, attempting to incorporate letters being provided.


A mechanic similar to this would be a big help in improving vocabulary skills when learning a foreign language. Even, if the end result is a Space Invaders type game with funny looking words in, it should still be an interesting game to play. Add a bit of fun to an otherwise difficult activity.

At the very least, I'd like to know how to import different character sets in to flash or unity.
