Language_pack

Language_pack is a .json file that contains the information about the text used in the game.

How to create a custom language_pack

In this tutorial I will show the steps needed to create your language_pack.

1. Choose your language.

First make sure your custom language is supported by utf-8 encoding.

2. Create file.

File name MUST:

• start with any number, followed by an "_" (don't choose any numbers that are already used by other languagepacks in your folder).
• have a custom name after the "_" (note that the custom name MUST NOT contain characters such as "." or "_")
• end with ".json" (obviously)

Here are some examples of possible file names:

0_english.json, 1_русский.json, 2_français.json

Please note: an inappropriate file name may cause the game to crash at any moment.

3. Translate!

Let's take a look at the original 0_eng.json (this is what it looked like at the beginning of the project, at least):

{
    "yes": "yes",
    "no": "no",
    "0": "Create new save [1]",
    "1": "Load existing save [2]",
    "2": "Choose your save name",
    "3": "This save already exists. Overwrite? [yes/no]",
    "4": "Select your save"
}

As you can see, the file consists of pairs of "key": "value" separated by commas. What you need to do is change the values. All keys must be the same, otherwise IndexError will occur. The following is an example of a Spanish language_pack (I don't know Spanish, this is google translated):

{
    "yes": "si",
    "no": "no",
    "0": "Crear nuevo guardar [1]",
    "1": "Сargar guardar existente [2]",
    "2": "Elige un nombre para guardar",
    "3": "Este guardado ya existe. Sobrescribir guardar? [si/no]",
    "4": "Elige tu guardar"
}

Once you have done all of the steps listed above, your language_pack will show up in the game. Enjoy!
