You're welcome, sjmaxq. Actually, the reason I installed Japanese and Chinese input systems on my PC was to make nice flashcards, too. For devanagri, you can probably just use an existing Unicode font, like Code2000 (see link below), and just use the Character Map and something like Excel to make a grid. I've never seen one for devanagri, but I have seen online web apps that show the sequence for drawing Sino-Japanese characters stroke by stroke in traditional order. PM if you'd like to work on it.

The best description I've read of devanagri was near the end of Hundred Years of Solitude where the lines in a MS written in Sanskrit are described as a clothesline hung with clothes drying.
