[ChronicRat]

So, we are at finish line with Windows release. Then will be build for Linux and port to Android.
This simple game is for young smart kids to improve or indroduce them an art of programming. =)

Soon i'll do normal page for this game on my site with all game related information and tutorial.

PS And i'll ask my friend to do normal translation to english and deutsch. If someone wants translate to other languages - you are welcome.

PPS Game uses my GIPE framework based on SFML (and it's dep-s), Lua, OOLua, glm, zlib, minizip. I want to thank all of these libs creators. I'm used SFGUI, but had to refuse because of different vision of some things and because of GIPE is optimized to use several threads. So GUI is my own, but i want to thank SFGUI creators too. =)

Awesome.

Maybe the buttons (Jump/Step/...) could be improved graphically, but the concept of the program (and the display of the code in graphs at the left) is just awesome

Thanks. =) I'll start improve graphics after Android port.

Scrolling by two fingers is because one finger used for highlighting and block's movement. Yes, you can help with translate. =) It would be great!
And you can add new id for translator:

i beginning translating , in french we have some special caracters like this : éèà , etc...
did you support them ?
i think is not good idea to translate this specials word in english : IF DO WHILE , etc...
it's strange in french : SI , FAIRE , TANT QUE , etc... what do you think about it ? 

[ChronicRat]

If font does not conain these characters - font will be changed. Don't forget to save the file as utf-8.
The game is for children, so as I think, all commands must be translated too.

Hi, everyone, very interresting project if you ask my opinion.

I just wanted to point something about this whole translating thing :

Even if it is done for children, is it a good idea to translate some "english commonly used words" in the programming ?

Or maybe find a way to put the to words (english/french) side by side... I honestly have no idea.

It's just that the french kids may have fun with this project buuuut they may not be able to connect what they learned with another programming language that is massivement using "if, else, ...".

[ChronicRat]

I'm started programming when I was about twelve with the game of that kind. And there were all commands in Russian, but I had no problems because of it. Then I used Basic on ZX Spectrum, and there was no problem with english commands.
PS And I'm still have no problems with English! =)

[Cpl.Bator]

This is the first version.
Give me the complete edition for improve translation , for me , the help is not clear.

[ChronicRat]

It is complete, except saving code. But text is full. What is not clear?

[Cpl.Bator]

the help is not clear, i want to see it in action for verify my translation, how can add langage to the demo ?
French langage is more complex than English.

[ChronicRat]

APK with French integrated.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/409org6py72zkq7/croger.apk?dl=0
It is possible to open APK as zip archive and replace ./assets/resources/language/fr.lang, but I don't know what about checksum, will OS check it on install? Or may be is there way to change fr.lang on the device?

You could get the language of the device via JNI and load the right language file. You would have to use JNI because the NDK does not have a function to get the current language.
