Submitting changes

Pull requests will be warmly received at https://github.com/lexica/lexica.

Add a new language

Please read the documentation for adding a new language.

Compiling

This app uses a typical gradle folder structure.

To build (a debug version): gradle assembleDebug
To run tests: gradle test

Alternatively, you can import the project into Android Studio and build/run tests from there.

Differences from original

This fork is based on the original Lexic.

Some differences include:

Multiple international dictionaries and an internationalised UI.
New scoring modes, hint modes, and other options.
New user interface, including multiple themes.

Lexica API

A lot of work from many people in the community has gone into producing localised dictionaries for Lexica. To share this so that you can make your own word games, or your own Lexica versions, this information is published at:

web-lexica's Issues

Incorrect game screen title: Web Lexica Multiplayer Game

The game screen title is always set to: Web Lexica Multiplayer Game, even when this is untrue

Reproduce:

Navigate to (home page)[https://lexica.github.io/web-lexica]
Select Singleplayer

Info Page

This is to maintain current functionality of the Lexica web page. Specific requirements below:

Translations

One of the best parts of Lexica is that it has a large toolset to allow the extension of the game via translations of in-game text, additions of new languages to play games in, etc.

Unfortunately, on the web side of things, the app is only usable in one language: English.

A way to leverage the translations made for Lexica in Web Lexica should be considered. However, if this isn't done carefully, really crappy inter-dependencies between the apps could be created.

Let's discuss the following:

Should Web Lexica try to use the same translations that Lexica uses
If it should, what's a good way to go about using them

Add ability to make new game modes

Lexica allows users to create custom game modes, the web-app does not allow this currently

Board is re-used between games

Unless a user hits the Refresh Board button, the same board is always used.

This happens because the useGeneratedBoard hook lives pretty high up in the component tree in order to avoid accidental re-renders.

A fix for this will need to avoid re-generating the board until after a user is done with their game

Share game Landing Pages

The web page will need some landing pages for users to decide where to play the game. Requirements listed below:

If user is on Android, should offer to open up Lexica app
- Maybe with option to always open Lexica app if possible (or minimize user input to simply page-size button that redirects to app)
- Option to always continue to web-lexica
Have an HTML-only view of pages to show if user doesn't have javascript running (hard, optional)

Settings Page

In general, Web Lexica needs a settings page, but specifically for this project, it is needed to allow the user to change preferences of how shared games are handled.

Ability to change how shared single player games are handled (always in-browser, always in-app)
Ability to change how shared multiplayer games are handled (always in-browser, always in-app)
Other general Web Lexica settings

Add the string "Croatian"

Add the string "Croatian" for translation to the Language and Game Titles component in the "Web Lexica" project, just as you've added it in the Strings component in the "Lexica" project.

BTW, there is no need to use hr_HR in the key definition. hr is sufficient.
