I Made a Multiplayer CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Word Game

You can think of Danobang like a more flexible version of shiritori (a popular word chain game from Japan with similar variants existing in Korea and China). Each turn players are given a random character prompt and must type a word that includes it in ANY position.

Examples:

- Chinese (simplified): If prompt is "爱", then possible answers could be "可爱", "爱好", "恋爱", etc

- Japanese: If prompt is "ゆき" then possible answers could be "ゆきだるま", "こゆき", "はつゆき", etc

- Korean: If prompt is "사" then possible answers could be "사랑", "회사", "이사하다", etc

Many configurable settings are available in custom rooms to further cater your experience (timer length, prompt difficulty, prompt rotation behaviour, etc). Note that each language supports multiple prompt types to choose from e.g. Kana vs Kanji for Japanese. I've also added preset difficulties for popular language proficiency tests (namely JLPT and HSK) which language learner players have seemed to enjoy.

Any feedback at all is appreciated! The site is still a work in progress and the dictionaries[0] are far from being "complete" so there'll likely be a few rough edges here and there.

[0] I used krdict, stdict, JMDict, CC-CEDICT, and CC-Canto to help populate the initial dictionary. You can check out the "about" page for direct links: https://danobang.com/about
