A set of tools for Japanese / English language study.
Written in VB.Net, Mouseflash is a tool which shows floating Flashcard words next to your mouse cursor, so you can learn while using your computer.
It can optionally show intermittent multiple choice quizzes, the quiz game remembers what words you struggle with and asks them more often
It also has a built in dictionary tool which is based on Edict. The dictionary can be used to add more words to your word list.
As well as the full mouseflash progam, there's a stand alone version of the Dictionary and the Quiz Game, so if you don't like the MouseFlash function, you can still play the quiz and use the dictionary.
Mouseflash was written by me to aid my japanese study, I'm releasing it as open source in the hope it will help others in some way.
