There's a single resource bundle file with all strings to be localized. Use it as a template for a new file strings_XX.properties with XX being the ISO language code. Please be aware that Falling Lightblocks can (so far) only display Latin based characters.
Please be aware that Falling Lightblocks is designed with certain design principles in mind, so if you plan to make some more efforts, please open an issue to check if your ideas will fit the game.
Some principles the game and its evolvement is based on:
- Features must work on every targeted platform (HTML!) and device
- Features must work with every supported input device (touch, controller, keyboard)
- Changes must not affect scoring of existing game modes
- Falling Lightblocks means classic gameplay, though it is okay if some game modes are guideline
For everyone viewing the source code: Sorry for all the German comments and commit messages that will make it more difficult for you. I didn't plan to open the source from the beginning, and I tend to write notes for myself in my native tongue.
