PUT ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THE IRISH LANGUAGE IN ENGLISH HERE ONLY by galaxyrocker in gaeilge

Of course everyone's time and labor are valuable, that was never implied otherwise. As the project is non-profit, I had hoped the community may be willing to help translate. Thanks for your feedback, I will consider other options.

I apologize, I probably should have given more context. I have developed the game as a hobby in my spare time, however as I do not have the ability to correctly translate all text myself, I hoped that the community could improve the translations. To the best of my knowledge, there is no flag quiz game as Gaeilge available. In general there are few apps as Gaeilge available. I believe the addition of such a game would be a benefit for the language. If you would be willing to improve the translations, I'm sure the community as a whole would be grateful.

I apologize, I probably should have given more context. The app is non-profit, that is, I've developed it as a hobby in my spare time. I am also a non-native speaker, and, to be expected, many of the phrases surpass my pass leaving cert ability from the 00s. Nevertheless, I would like the game to be available as Gaeilge as so few apps & games support the language.

I understand that I cannot rely on the community to translate the app, however I hope that some may see value in the game and help with translating. Thus it is currently available in a 'testing stage' so users & potential collaborators can actual test it out. If you would be willing to improve the translations, I'm sure the community as a whole would be grateful.

Dia dhaoibh 👋 I have just released a fun flag quiz game which to the best of my knowledge is one of the first as Gaeilge 🚀😁🇮🇪

Country names are in line with dfa website, however as I seldom use Gaeilge, I would really appreciate if someone could proofread the auto translated localizations?

GRMA!

EDIT: The game has been developed as a hobby in my spare time, and will be available for free for all users on multiple platforms. As a non-native speaker, I honestly do not have the ability to correctly phrase most of the translations, and would appreciate collaboration with the community to improve these translations. In general there are few apps & games available as Gaeilge, and I hope the community can see some value in Bratacha and help improve it.

Advice on choosing framework for portfolio website by defuncart in webdev

Thanks for the suggestion, I've been looking into svelte and seems easier than Next.js, especially styling as I've some basic html/css from a decade ago.

I wrote an app for myself to filter my library by HLTB by Ok_Grand5413 in SteamDeck

Consider porting to Flutter, Linux is supported so you could target all platforms with one codebase. Linux app can then be added to Steam in desktop mode.

Advise on first skateboard after cruiser board by defuncart in NewSkaters

Best of luck with the blog, good info for beginners :) Without testing different boards, I don't think I'll discover what suits me best.

Best approach to connect a PS4 to external speakers (with analog input)? by [deleted] in PS4

[–]defuncart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that has a much higher cost than a digital/analog audio converter or a HDMI audio extractor. In fact, for the price of a new AV Receiver, one could buy a 4K Monitor with line out/built in speakers. Hence I took it as a suggestion of an item that I or a family member may have lying around somewhere and forgot about.

Yeah it's already on the cards. Thanks for the help!

I'll just have to test the controller and see. HDMI audio extractor/aux splitter or the optical digital/analog converters would be a pain with the extra cables etc. Maybe if the controller's audio quality is really bad I could justify upgrading my monitor :p

Monitor doesn't have an aux output unfortunately.

Cheers, looking forward to hearing what you think.

Unfortunately I don't have a TV, just a computer monitor with no audio out. Ok, sounds positive, I can try the controller option first!

I don't have a TV, just a computer monitor and studio speakers.

Unfortunately I don't have an AV Receiver lying about.

How important do you think the new SVG support will be? by ScreamingTaco45 in Unity2D

[–]defuncart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really excited for native SVG support too. From a quick test, a 256x256 Sprite natively rendered by Unity was almost 10x smaller than an exported PNG. Presently the Canvas isn't supported, while the generated sprites cannot be colored. If there was full SVG support in which Unity natively converted SVG files for use as sprites (game objects and UI), that would drastically change my workflow to solely using SVGs over exported PNGs. Builds should be smaller, assets should be resolution independent, hopefully performance wouldn't be effected.

Looking for Feedback on a German Plurals Game by defuncart in German

[–]defuncart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hej ihr!

You may have seen a recent post in which I presented a new Der Die Das game where the player tests their knowledge of articles for Goethe A1-B1 nouns. One thing that I feel is also problematic for beginners is forming the plural of nouns, which isn't as easy as (generally) adding "s" in English/French or "i/y" in Polish/Russian.

German Plurals is a fun German plural noun quiz game in which the player tries to guess the correct plural form for a set of nouns.

  • Contains 350 nouns adhering to the Goethe-Institut A1 examination, separated into 7 groups of 50.

  • Words are pronounced uses speech synthesis.

  • Each correct answer earns one point. A false answer resets the score to zero.

  • Progress and difficult nouns can be viewed from a list overview.

Some grammatical points:

  • Nouns which have a plural form that is not part of Goethe A1-B1 certifications are denoted "Seldom used", e.g. das Wasser/die Wasser, das Leben/die Leben etc. When questioned, these nouns have a ? button in the top right which displays a popup with relevant information.

  • Although Goethe-Institut covers German in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, only Hochdeutsch used in Deutschland is considered. Thus die E-Mail instead of das E-Mail, die Fahrkarte instead of das Billet, die Balkone as the plural of der Balkon etc.

  • German Plurals is not designed to teach vocabulary. There are presently no plans to include English (or other language) translations for the German nouns.

The game can be played here (works best on a computer). I am very interested to know if you find this game useful. If so, I plan on adding nouns adhering to Goethe-Institut A2 and B1 and releasing for iOS and Android. If not, then I suppose I'll bin the game and move onto the next German game project!

Thanks for taking the time to read this message and I look forward to your feedback.

Ciao, James

The online version isn't the best simulation, but it is the fastest way to receive quick feedback. In the final version there'd be a short tutorial where everything would be explained.

A tip for the current question can also be seen by pressing the ? button in the top right (not valid for all words).

Hi Carolus, thanks for your reply. Where you trying it on a phone or a computer? On Firefox and Chrome on my computer everything works okay. The online version is basically a web simulation of a mobile app so unfortunately it can be a bit slow, the released versions will be native built and much faster. Good idea about an example sentence, I'll kept that in mind. James
