Re: Removing translations from game options?

Just tried this, and the numeral strings display without "<<" and ">>" as hoped/expected. (Everything else, including the "None" and "Unlimited" options in the same dropdown, display with "<<" and ">>".) (I didn't realize that button worked...

Re: Removing translations from game options?

Yes, good question. I've committed, built, and pushed more than one version since changing this. And I also clicked the "Reload game options configuration" button (more than once). Although, it's still possible that something isn't going right at these steps, I suppose. It's hard to confir...

Removing translations from game options?

I have a few strings in game options that are just Arabic numerals (e.g. "1", "2", "3", etc.). Since they are displayed to the user, I wrapped them in "totranslate" like everything else. But, I got a (reasonable) suggestion to remove these from the translation...

Re: Should strings containing only numeric digits be translated?

So, I made a change that should have removed these, but they're still there. I'm not sure why. The strings in question are in gameoptions. I changed the code, clicked the "refresh game options" button, pushed a new version, and waited until the next day - but the digits still appear on the...

Re: Should strings containing only numeric digits be translated?

It's hard to be sure that no supported language, either today or in the future, will not want to show these in a different way. Is it really that much of a burden to have a handful of translations that don't need any change most or even all of the time? I could easily change these, of course, but I'...

Re: Should strings containing only numeric digits be translated?

Don't some languages, such as Japanese, at least have the option of other characters for numbers?

Should strings containing only numeric digits be translated?

In Letter Tycoon, one of the game options allows selecting a number of retries (in automatic challenge mode). The options are "None", "1, "2", "3, "4, "5", or "Unlimited". Clearly "None" and "Unlimited" need to be translated....

Re: Language-specific game (Letter Tycoon)

What option is that? I searched around but didn't find anything like that.

Too easy to cheat?

I recently developed Letter Tycoon, which is currently in beta. Since a major element of this game is forming words (similar to Scrabble), some people have pointed out that it's fairly easy to "cheat" by using various online word tools. This is probably unavoidable. The question is, is thi...
