Freestyle character drawing

The Character Drawing Test presents Pinyin and English at the top, plus the target word with one character replaced by a question mark. For multi-character words, the missing character is the one being practiced. Tapping the Pinyin and meaning box plays the sound.

Most of the screen is a rice-paper-style drawing area. Students can toggle the rice character grid, adjust drawing line thickness, erase, undo, redo, shuffle, move through words, or flip the card to show the answer with opacity for tracing.

This is not a stroke-order trainer. It is a freestyle drawing environment meant to build a kinesthetic feel for Chinese characters.
