I was inspired by some of the other Japanese learning games I've seen the community make to give it a shot. Admittedly I bit off way more than I could chew with this.

So some background, shiritori is a word game in Japan where you have to come up with a word that starts with the same kana (like a letter) your opponent's last word ended with. The word you choose also can't end with an n sound.

You and your partner will go for as long as you can chaining words together until someone gets stumped and can't come up with another word.

The dictionary I made for this game is around 100, mostly, common Japanese words. And because I couldn't figure out a better input method that didn't create other issues, all the Japanese is written using the Roman alphabet (romaji).

This is a pretty niche project but I'd love to hear some feedback. One day, I'd really want to make learning games like number munchers, math blaster, or Oregon trail but for learning Japanese. My plans for this prototype is to, eventually, make a full scale 2 player game similar to Super Puzzle Fighter. But those dreams are still a long way off. Maybe I should've just made a pong or breakout clone for my first game instead haha
