Feed The Monster - Language Packs

Language packs for Feed the Monster localizations

Usage

Used with the Feed the Monster Core, which contains all language-independent data for Feed the Monster, found here: https://github.com/curiouslearning/FeedTheMonster/

Creating a New Language Pack

Use the FTMdefault directory as a template for your language pack directory. Configure the settings.json file as needed, and replace the image and sound assets from the subfolders with the appropriate images and sound assets for your language.

settings.json

The settings.json file is used to define settings for the language, as follows:

"LanguageName" (string)	the name of the language
"ApplicationName" (string)	the name of the game, i.e. "Feed the Monster", in the language
"VersionNumber" (int)	the Android version number of the game
"ImageBasedRendering" (bool)	whether the language uses images of each character instead of Unity's default text rendering
"NumLevels" (int)	the number of levels in the game, usually 77 or 154
"HasTracingGame" (bool)	whether to include the letter-tracing game, which is based on the latin alphabet characters
