I'm scaling back my goals regarding the Chinese learning thing...

Since a friend of mine (some friends actually) want to sell it, I will only be doing the computerized version, not publishing the concept on Pinterest. This notation is an extension of my ChiCN entry notation but while that was for entering Chinese, this new notation will be to learn to read and speak it easily.

I will be leveraging some AI to make this language thing work well. And the input taken is like this, 

^^0+ means a cross in a box in the top right quadrant

_)      means a sweep or tail in the lower left quadrant

__x   means a cross legs in the lower right quadrant

^-+     means a cross on a line in the top left quadrant

So a string of characters might look like this:  

^^0+ _) __x ^-+ 

This afternoon will be working with AI to recognize the pattern. Maybe use Python.

I borrowed all the code I need from Google Gemini AI. Now just to tweak it to work together. Might take a few hours. Almost mid afternoon.

I need to write a fuzzy matcher / compositer to tie all the AI generated stuff together. Might be a little involved and I don't want to AI this part because it's patentable and I might be caught for it.

So far so good. I have the font rendered as a bitmap. Used Google's plain and blocky Noto TC font. Thinking I will make the applet as an interactive loop leveraging ceDict.

Was thinking I need another layer on top of the ASCII, for example, 0 is supposed to be a box but doesn't look like it. The plot thickens.

Also may need a positioner function so that box overlaps the character's box -if present.

Spent the latter part of the afternoon cooking for Dad and myself and later explaining Christianity's weaknesses to Moslems persuaded by the Liew 6 to question their faith as a superior faith. I refer everyone to Abraham -the father of all Faith on earth. We have common ground in that his children will be numerous as the stars and their place in heaven will be great. Do not be deceived by serpent-like people such as LiLian and Barneous, and their parents. For then we lose Faith. We lose our protection and our destiny.

Want to pull an all-nighter on FastCN. Will resume after half hour of rest and continue past midnight if necessary.
