Happy new year ! I’ve started cantosearch, a little terminal toolkit which helps me querying different cantonese resource websites.

For now, it allows me to query the great www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk dictionary like this :

mrpingouin@localhost:~$ python3 cantosearch.py -j "faai lok"
Found 11 jyutping entries

# Using an alias makes it even more effective
alias cs="python3 cantosearch.py"

It should be sufficient for a while, although I might add support for other resources like cantonese.org, or yellowbridge.com.

Finally ! After working on it for almost two years and a half on our spare time with the great Thibault Barbaroux and the unstoppable Kévin Loustau, our very first project Wise Garden released under the Double Machine flag !

Many thanks to all the people who helped us, and most of all, all hail the magnificent Godot Engine.

Pro-tip : starting a first project with a puzzle game with complex mechanics is not a good idea 😑

I started writing an Antlr4-based linter for 3dsmax’s maxscript language.

Project and details can be found on my gitlab page.
