Hmm. I just tried playing through it there, and it worked fine. I think, given that you’re on level two, that it’s not unlikely that you don’t quite understand the objectives yet (the submit button only appearing when they have been met).

Once you hit level 2 there doesn’t seem to be a “submit” button anymore. Achieved the objection but can’t move on.

Get it. I’ll find a proper word for it.
I did find the meaning of “complete work” in a dictionary before, but I was not sure.

I wrote after your “calcSlices” in mainpart.cpp, and use your level files directly.
But it won’t be a pleasant to read my blitzmax code, it’s just some fast dirty code. ;)

I give Chinese names to william ,the Other and the Our, with which I hope to make the game feel more native.

I hope it will be finished this week, I’ll let know then.

That’s interesting, Tommo; I’d like to see it when you have it finished! [almost as much to see the translation into blitzmax as to chinese ;p ]

Opera Omnia is a latin term meaning ‘complete works’. It’s used in particular to refer to the complete works of Thomas Aquinas or Leonhard Euler. It’s also used sometimes in music to refer to editions of the complete music of a particular composer. If there was an antique/formal word in mandarin that one could use to refer to the ‘complete works’, ‘collected works’ or even just ‘works’ of a writer/artist/composer, that would probably be good. But, I’ll leave it up to you.

(and yes, foreign character support is unpleasant in C++ )

I like opera omnia very much and want to make a Chinese version of it.
Because I’m not good at C++, so to modify your code to support Chinese would be a pain for me, then I decided to rewrite the whole game in BlitzMax.
The game is almost completed, but still some details and translations to do.
Now I’m considering about translation to the title. I’m not very sure about what “Opera Omnia” means, I googled around but found no clear answer. Maybe you can help me?
If you’re pleased to, please write to:

Thanks in advance.

[...] Opera Omnia is a rare example of a game that takes full advantage of the unique benefit of interactivity. The idea is that you are, basically, a historian that tries to work out what happened in the past to create the population you have using a wonderfully simple program that accurately tracks the migration routes and growth rates of the citizens.

I meant changing the link from “OS X 10.5+” to “OS X 10.5+ Intel” so that dudes like me don’t bother downloading it, but that works too!

Ah, you’re right. I should! And I … just have!

I don’t have the time or effort to build/support PPC builds, alas.
