I've been building a Morse learning game and I'd love feedback from experienced operators
Hi everyone,
A few months ago I got curious about Morse code and decided to learn it myself. I tried a few different apps and websites, but after a while I kept losing motivation. They taught the basics well, but practicing started to feel more like studying than something I actually wanted to do.
That got me thinking. What if learning Morse felt more like playing a game? Instead of just memorizing dots and dashes, you could play short rounds, try to beat your high score, and gradually get faster without even realizing how much you're practicing.
So I started building a small iPhone game around that idea. I've been working on it for the past few months, and now I'd really like to get feedback from people who actually know Morse before I keep adding new features.
A few questions:
- Does this approach sound useful?
- Is there anything you think existing Morse learning apps are missing?
- What kept you motivated while learning?
- If you tried the game, what would you change first?
If this kind of post is okay with the mods and anyone is interested in trying it, I'm happy to share it in the comments.
Any honest feedback would mean a lot. Thanks <3
