Looking for Translators

Moskito · Post by **Moskito** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:27 am

Hello

I'm looking for people who would/could translate a little game manual into other languages.
The reason for that is a new statistic I got from my webtracker. French, Spanish, Dutch,
Portuguese and Russian are, besides German and English, the Languages I would like to see
the Docs translated to.

The Game "99 Seconds" is similar to Bejeweled like Games, so there are only a few pages
that need to be translated. You can have a look at the german "spielregeln" online to
get a first look. http://freenet-homepage.de/ThWit/Docs/Spielregeln.html

Hello djes

Thanks for the quick reply.
Just updated my english website. Currently I'm working on Version 0.98. (Final is close)
For 0.97 the german manual was rewritten to be shorter and more compact. The english docs
will be finished today or tommorow. For a first look you can try the english part of the
website then. Hopefully there won't be lots of new features in the future...

Inspired by Bejeweled-2 and other Match-3 Games, I decided
to create one of my own. But it should be different, long-term
motivation and many little goodies, that make the gameplay
addicting, where my very first thoughts before I began to
start with the project.

What started as a 5-Day-attempt, quicklie grew and grew.
Many little Features like Special Moves and even a Joker
have been included for strategic and/or logic Gameplay.

Unlike other Match-3 Games, 99 Seconds also allows you
to score in both diagonally directions besides the normal
horizontal and vertical. Combinations of that will give you
even more Points. And you will need those Points soon...

Inspiré par Bejeweled-2 et d'autres jeux Match-3, j'ai décidé d'en réaliser un par moi-même. Mais le mien se devait d'être différent, intéressant à long terme, et intégrer quelques goodies afin de le rendre addictif. Voilà quelles étaient mes premières pensées avant de commencer le projet.

Ce qui a débuté comme un essai de 5 jours, a rapidement pris beaucoup d'ampleur. Beaucoup de petites caractéristiques comme les Mouvements Spéciaux et même un Joker ont été intégrés pour l'aspect stratégique ou le gameplay.

Contrairement à d'autres jeux Match-3, 99 Seconds vous permet également de faire des scores à la fois en diagonal en plus des directions horizontales et verticales classiques. En combinant tout cela vous gagnerez plus de points, dont vous aurez vite besoin...

In this actual Version 0.9, I decided to include Highscores.
You can select from 8 Difficulties now. Starting with the new
99 Seconds Challenge, where you should score as much as
possible Points in, you guessed it, exactly 99 Seconds only.

From easy to hard you have the Chance to enter your Name
in a Highscoretable for that difficulty if you score the Top-20.
There is no need to be online to play 99 Seconds. This is not
a Browser-Game. All you have to do, if you want to see your
Name in the Highscores, hosted on this Website, is to sent
me a small File called HiScores.dat that can be found in the
Folder of the Game. I will try to update the Tables every Day.

An English HowToPlay and the latest ReadMe are included.

Dans la version actuelle (0.9), j'ai décidé d'inclure les meilleurs scores. Vous disposez maintenant de 8 niveaux de difficulté. En commençant par le nouveau Challenge 99 Secondes, où vous devez faire le maximum de points en, vous l'aurez deviné, seulement 99 secondes.

Depuis le niveau facile jusqu'au niveau difficile vous pouvez rentrer dans le tableau des meilleurs scores correspondant, si vous êtes dans les 20 meilleurs. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'être connecté pour jouer à 99 Secondes. Ce n'est pas un jeu dépendant du navigateur. Tout ce que vous avez à faire pour voir votre Nom dans les meilleurs scores hébergés sur ce site web est de m'envoyer un petit fichier appelé HiScores.dat situé dans le dossier du jeu. J'essaierai de mettre à jour le tableau tous les jours.

Please note that Progi1984 has done a nice lib that can be used to handle network scores : http://www.purebasic.fr/french/viewtopic.php?t=5978

Yes, it even accepts negative Scores (from what I've heard).

I was wrong, must have been another online-highscore-solution.

The page is in french, maybe I can find some info in english...

Hello

The package includes the german and english versions of the 99 Seconds Docs in txt-format.
I'm not so sure the english docs are "good enough" for translation. (Well, I did my best)
Maybe someone who is familar with german and english could have a look at it, too.
Feel free to ask. (HTML will follow after possible amendments)

If you still need a spanish translation from english, drop me a PM.

Hello Ricardo

It's not that I "need" it, but it could be handy for some people.

Still french, dutch and russian translations would be nice...
