Translated into Traditional Chinese

Hey great author
I translated all the text, including images, of this little game into Traditional Chinese, and below is where I ended up hosting it.

https://io.cloudxact.com/ncase/wbwwb/

License and other language were removed

By #26

Not to mention, the banner isn't English and the Persian link isn't even a direct link to the game in Persian.

Credit link seem to be changed too
4da517c#diff-f9957213084528af6c9c96e360992efdL63-R68

In addition to other questionable changes.

Stuck at 82%

been here for like 3 minutes

this doesnt look good either

but idk much about web games lol

Hebrew Translation

Hey, it is not really an Issue but I have translated the game to hebrew, I still have a few images from the chinese translation and I need to align the text because there are question marks and exclamation marks on the start of the text instead of the finish.
I'm sorry if my English is wrong or somthing.
I'm also pretty sure that I'm using the chinese language code in the textString thing file instead of the hebrew one - iw (somtimes also he)
I'll be more than (really) happy to be a contributor.
Tnx.

Quick report about translations

In my fork I just removed some images, because Persian images were making difficult to just translate that. So, if you want to translate, just add a new section in textStrings file with your language TAG and change the last line to put your language TAG as the default language.

In my case, it was like that:
var textStrings = textStrings_PT_BR;

I don't think that change images with another language would be a good solution. i think the best case scenario would be duplicate the images with a new file name and create some conditional to load that image if your language is selected. For me, it doesn't make sense to have a new image on top of that with a language printed inside of it. But for now, I will not submit a new PR. I made the changes only on my personal forked repo and revert some changes, so the game is closer to the owner's game.

I hope this can be helpful.

Kind regards.

I dont know how to open the game. index.html isnt working?

So im making a mod for the game just replacing images and the game isnt loaded? It shows the paused text and thats it. It just shows a black screen?

I have been trying to fix it for a while but I do not know what else to do. I have added the modules of pixijs & Howlerjs

Thanks!!

hosting on github.io

Do you have an instruction for making the game work as a github page. Similar to how claycoffee is doing it > https://claycoffee.github.io/wbwwb/

Thanks a lot for the amazing game!

Stuck in Persian translation

I've tried everything from seeing if its something in the index.html file to completely deleting all translations that weren't English

Ooh

I watched markiplier play this

Greek Translation

Hello and Happy New Year, @ncase ! So, I decided to translate this game in Greek and after attempts, I finally connected it to this link: https://galandrielle.github.io/wbwwb/

I have changed the files textStrings.js and index.html so far at my repository. However, the game is still a black screen and only has the pause text when I click away. These two are the only files I've touched. Did I write the code somewhere wrong? Do I need to modify the other files too? Any help by anyone will be good.

Game is crashing from "textStrings" variable

Game is crashing with this error:

Error: Scene_Preloader.js:49 Uncaught ReferenceError: textStrings is not defined

This issue is happening because textStrings doesn't even exist in code base and the game is trying to access it since it has multiple languages.

This issue should be fixed in this Pull Request.

Until the Pull Request can be merged you can add this at the bottom of the folder: textStrings.js

const textStrings = (() => {
	switch (navigator.language) {
		case "en-US":
			return textStrings_EN;
		case "da":
			return textStrings_DA;
		case "fa":
			return textStrings_FA;
		case "pt-pt":
			return textStrings_PT;
		case "pt-BR":
			return textStrings_PT_BR;
		case "es":
			return textStrings_ES;
		default:
			return textStrings_EN;
	}
}
)();

Published Chinese Version

I also published slightly more modified version here https://claycoffee.github.io/wbwwb/.
@ncase please add it to your WBWWB's main game page?
Thanks!

Update howler.js due to Opera glitch on 100+ versions

Loading stuck on 82% on Opera GX.
Then debugged and noticed only audio didn't load, none of files.
After i try to manually replace howler.js 2.0.0 to 2.2.4 on main game page - it's worked.
This issue: goldfire/howler.js#1670
Was solved in 2.2.4 (latest): goldfire/howler.js#1676

Can I port this game to reflect real social issues?

I found this game really interesting especially when it comes to the value behind this. Can I port this game to represent social issues around me?

Everything

The source code is no longer original, everything has been changed from images and writing.

Latin American Spanish Translation

Hi there, @ncase

I started working on the Latin American Spanish Translation of the game. The in-game text is already done, I'm working on the sprites now and I have a question. What font did you use?.

How to Open it?

I already tried opening it with a server but the same error shows which is "your browser does not support webgl". I have tried it with another browser but still shows the same thing. I have webgl activated on chrome://flags already and still nothing. Is there another way to open it?
