Wallpaper generator

Since I can’t send a PM I have to do it like this. Sorry to revive an old post.
But thank you so much for creating this! This shows me every time how much I am progressing. The image is not near being full but the color changes and the unlocking of new Kanji is very visable like this. It keeps me motivated!

I remember trying to get this to work a long time ago but I’m gonna try again. It’s so cool I want moon runes on my wallpaper!

the windows link appears to be dead :frowning:

I’ve fixed the links.

It would be cool to use this! Any idea if I can run it on my chromebook? will the Linux links work or are chromebooks just too snooty for that sort of thing xD

EDIT: Looks like it’s doable from the developer mode shell, in case anyone comes looking about this in the future.

Hi @akranis, I just created a new post with a PHP port and the ability to regenerate and set the wallpaper right from the desktop. Please check it all and add it to your original post if you approve.

Thank you for making this in the first place! It is so awesome.

This creates a wallpaper for me but everything is grey. I’ve tried re-entering my API several times and setting the exe to windows 7 compatibility. I’m running Windows 10 64-bit.

Hey @MereBear82, try this:

I went ahead and used this method. Thanks so much for the link! This is amazing and easy to follow!

Did something in the code change? My wallpaper is now just a little bit different… more space between the characters?

Javascript rendering code last changed in 2015, C++ code last changed in 2017. Is it possible you’ve installed a new font?

I have updated to Mojave :man_shrugging:

I noticed there are a few characters (such as 朋) that don’t appear on WaniKani but do appear on the background generator.

I’m assuming at some point perhaps these characters had been removed from WK, would it be possible to remove them when I create a background?

It’s possible they were never in Wanikani to begin with, this whole program was designed to emulate this poster Kanji Poster - Learn Japanese Kanji Characters which no longer appears to be in production. :slight_smile:

When I first started studying japanese I used this poster to mark my progress as I went along, when I got an account on wanikani, I quickly realized I could automate it using their public api, and wrote this program using the poster as a template.

It’s been on my todo list for a long time to rewrite this program to use the wanikani order as default, but I haven’t had the time or motivation to do so yet, as I took a long break from Wanikani and studying japanese in general.

Oh, I see. I appreciate the reply, I’ve been using the web application for a long time to keep track of my progress to share with friends, going all the way back to April 2017 when I had learnt 100 Kanji.

I hope you get the chance to study again!


Anyway…

It looks like the following Kanji are all non WK (thank you regex).

If anyone wants just WK kanji, just download the GitHub project and replace the contents of order.js with the following:

Sadly, the domain viralsmods.com expired today so the homepage no longer works. Any thought to keep this going?

Ok, when I discovered this beautiful wallpapers, the urge to code such a tool by myself emerged strongly :stuck_out_tongue:. If anybody is interested in web version, I thing I will be able to host it.

Thank you for inspiration!


repo with my version

This is probably the only one live version that works, I think I’ve checked everything else already. Thanks!

What on earth led you to make 100 wallpapers in a day :joy: nice to see they have a sense of humor about it!
