Kyogi-Karuta is a Japanese traditional game using the “Hyaku-nin-Isshu"(*1) Karuta cards.
(*1 .. It means "an anthology of one hundred tanka poems by one hundred poets", selected by Teika Fujiwara about 800 years ago, as "The All Time Best 100 in these 600 years" at that time.)
This App supports playing the game, by singing tanka poems at random.
You can watch Demo video by following URL. https://vimeo.com/88511077
And you can change some settings;
1) Singer's voice
You can select VOCALOID voice or Human voice.
2) Timing of pause
2-A) Normal mode: Mode for Kyogi-Karuta. Singer pauses singing just after 1st half of a tanka poem. 2-B) Beginner mode: Recommended mode for a beginner. Singer pauses after singing a whole poem. 2-C) Nonstop mode: Singer doesn't pause singing. Press Pause button if needed.
3) Tanka poems to sing
You can select poems to use as you like.
4) Use "Kara Fuda"(*2), or not. (*2 .. It means "Fake poems")
Fake poems can be added in Normal mode. Additional fake poems are automatically selected at random, as many as "tanka poems to sing" you selected in 2).
5) Interval time between poems (by second)
6) Interval time between 1st half of a tanka poem, and 2nd half of it (by second, in Beginner mode only)
I apologize that this App supports Japanese only. If many people hope English support, I'll give it a try!
