And, about translations: Any problem with different idiomatic characters (letters) to English commonly used?

Wow, thanks so much! Do you mean the characters with accent marks like 'ú' or 'ó'? I don't think they'll be a problem.

You're welcome... And, yes, exactly that!

If they don't work I'll have problems with lots of languages so I'll figure out a way

Me thinks if the system does not allow you to use another language you could always cheat the system and just make images to replace the spots where the words goes.

Yeah. Either that or try using a different font, I'm just using the basic debugPrint function right now.

 

[fmkid]

Yeah. Either that or try using a different font, I'm just using the basic debugPrint function right now.

That font doesn't allow some ASCII special characters?

Edit: I mean, default system font on debugPrint function.

I honestly like how simple and straightforward it is. I have already won and lost thousands or dollars in this game.

Would like to see the ability to use your own card backs. but that is defiantly not a deal breaker. Maybe the one thing I would like to have is more card game choices.

You already seem to have the layout for it, why not branch off it to having several different card games? Just an idea?

 

[daxtsu]

Doesn't look like it does, no. I tested it out in Citra (because I still can't get LPP to run on real hardware with themehax for the life of me) and it only showed this:

while true do
    Screen.waitVblankStart()
    Screen.refresh()
    Screen.debugPrint(0,0,"Hello World, é, é",Color.new(255,255,255),TOP_SCREEN)
    Screen.flip()
end

    Screen.refresh()
    Screen.debugPrint(0,0,"Hello World, é, é",Color.new(255,255,255),TOP_SCREEN)
    Screen.flip()
end

Oh... And performing some kind of INT8/HEX to CHAR conversion function (based on ASCII codes), would be possible?

More card backs is something I've planned for next version. If you want to though, you can change images/cardback.png right now however.

I've thought about possibly doing some more card games. Some above also suggested Yahtzee which I thought might be fun.

Lame. Thanks for trying it out!

Might be but I'm not immediately sure how.

EDIT: Tried this with "string: "..string.char(156), looks like LPP only supports 7 bit ascii

 

[keanutah]

Doesn't look like LPP's debugPrint function can handle more than 7 bit ASCII.

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Doesn't look like LPP's debugPrint function can handle more than 7 bit ASCII.

It's a limitation of debug font. As the name says, debugPrint should be used only for debugging (so simple strings without any "strange" character).
If you need more advanced printing function, you can use Font module.

 

[daxtsu]

Doesn't look like LPP's debugPrint function can handle more than 7 bit ASCII.

If it's possible to draw/use true-type fonts, you could probably just do that, but I don't know how complicated that would get with LPP.

Yeah, I figured as much, thanks for confirming. Do you know what font debugPrint uses (or emulates)? I'd love to keep the font the same if I can.

Oh!... Well, I think you can replace accent marked chars for normal ones temporarily! After all, maybe also understandable for someone!

LPP does have font support.

It's the same font used by @StapleButter for blargSnes.

So it's not a .ttf font I assume, but hardcoded?

 

[Rinnegatamante]

It's a bitmap font.

 

[keanutah]

It's a bitmap font.

Got it, makes sense.
