We allow any stroke order for 女 because a lot of people write it non-standardly in order to make it look better.

Skritter's deal is to make spaced repetition easy (premade textbook lists, no need to grade yourself) and efficient (taking advantage of domain-specific knowledge), while building writing practice into it. Certainly if you're making your own SRS, you probably don't need the ease of use. Your Nintendo DS app sounds cool--are you planning on releasing it, or is it a personal project?

I am planning to put it up, but it is basically does what I want it to now so I am not going to put a lot effort into it to go the extra mile for consumer grade usability. You have to create a pcx file for every question/answer card, which makes it a bit difficult to use if you can't program a script to render them from a csv file. I was thinking of putting the program up with a couple of premade decks like remembering the kanji and perhaps some other textbooks.
