Good idea, done & thanks!
Thanks! Credit for the Hungarian dictionary and translation goes to MKCK1.
Just wanted to say 'thank you' for making this. So much fun popping this into my GBC and playing a few rounds
Nice! :)
Hello,
The English ROM is in the zip file as : gb-wordyl_1.0.3_mbc5_en.gb
The two letter language codes used for ROMs are listed near the top of this game page. For example:
> English (EN)
Deleted 363 days agoThank you. :)
I think I found a suitable dictionary and answer list. I made a test version here, if you wouldn't mind checking it and sharing your feedback (feedback can be in the github issue or here on itch.io)
Thanks for the notice. The two that I can see (lavender town and nill tronic) are both selling the original, non-improved version by stacksmashing, although only one acknowledges where it is from.
2 years agoJust a small update - the next version which is coming out very soon will have Sound Effects. Still no room for music.
niiiiiice!
dude, have you ever played jaipur?
is a very simple card game for two people.
you would be the perfect guy to turn this gem into a game boy game!
two card games that would be perfect in game boy: Cubirds and Jaipur.
play a few games on the Game board Arena, you'll fall in love!
We discuss some work on this in the comment thread directly below - you can download an initial version with a German dictionary from the related github issue.
It remains to be seen how well the user interface text can be translated and still fit within the current constraints.
2 years ago(+1)There is now a version (0.85+) with a German dictionary (see limitations noted above) and translated User Interface text. Looks like your wish came true. :P
Thanks to Skite2001 for User Interface translations!
Very very nice game and improvements from you... I just wonder... Would it be possible for me to use your github fork and replace /translate the english words via paste'n'copy to german, or wouldnt this easy like this? Cheers
Translation from English is unsuitable since there are thousands of words and many wouldn't be 5 letters once translated. See "answers.txt" and "full.txt"
3 years ago (+1)I put German word lists reduced to 5 letters and English A-Z in a zip file here:
(+1)I built a ROM with the German answer list and dictionary then added it to that ticket (you're also welcome to comment there if you'd like). I did some brief testing and it seems to work as expected.
If you want to give it a try that would be great.
3 years agoWhen I use afterplay.io (my preferred emulator), it doesn't work.
