Kanji Calculator (WIP)

Looking for an excuse to practice your Japanese AND basic math at the same time? Look no further!

... is what I would say, if this calculator actually worked. Sorry.

This attempt at a calculator displays numbers exclusively in Japanese Kanji. 

CONTROLS (Might make more sense if you imagine using this keypad instead of a traditional keyboard)

1 = 一	2 = ニ	3 = 三	4 = Add (+)
Q = 四	W = 五	E = 六	R = Subtract (-)
A = 七	S = 八	D = 九	F = Multiply (x)
Z = Clear	X = 0	C = Equals (=)	V = Divide (÷)

If you don't know how to read kanji, here's a little cheat sheet:

NUMBER	KANJI	PRONOUNCIATION (ROMANJI)
1	一	ichi
2	ニ	ni
3	三	san
4	四	yon*
5	五	go
6	六	roku
7	七	nana*
8	八	hachi
9	九	kyu*
10	十	jyu
16	十六	jyu roku
60	六十	roku jyu
64	六十四	roku jyuu yon
100	百	hyaku
1000	千	sen
10 000	万	man
100 000	十万	jyu man
1 000 000	百万	hyaku man

*四, 七, and 九 can also be read as shi, shichi, and ku, but they usually aren't, because shi and shichi sound similar to the japanese word for Death (死), and ku is also how you pronounce Suffering (苦).

KNOWN ISSUES

Numbers must be entered backwards. For example if you wanted to type 六十四 (64), you would type 4, 6, instead of 6, 4.

There should be working code for Addition and Subtraction, but it doesn't appear to print out a number. I do not know why, I'm too tired.

WHY IS THIS PROJECT UNFINISHED?!

In short, I was busy dealing with IRL commitments (Animation College), and I didn't give myself enough time to work on this project.

Actually, this wasn't even what I was originally planning to do for Octojam 10. I had a more ambitious idea (relating to Octoma), but a combination of technical issues and time constraints led me to the decision to shelf the project for now, and try to make something smaller. And yet I still ran out of time...

Late 2023 has not been kind to me. :(
