The code is here: https://gitlab.com/solarus-games/solarus-android

We don't have time currently to work on it, but it's definitely on the list of things to do in 2021.

Sorry for the late answer.

Great! Thank you very much! I've sent the link to Binbin, the project leader.

The team is very thankful for this. We'll include your translation, for sure!

Would you like to join us on Discord, so we can talk together?

Great! Should we update the link on the website to your Github repository? (See "Link" in the right panel https://www.solarus-games.org/en/development/resource-packs/the-legend-of-zelda-oracles)

It should work in most cases, but please be aware that it's not a finished product.

Your projects / Re: The Solarus Resource Help Project

« on: April 16, 2020, 02:32:15 PM »

I've created an awesome-solarus list, as the famous 'awesome' lists (You can find 'awesome' lists about every existing topic related to programming).

Here it is: https://gitlab.com/solarus-games/awesome-solarus

You can add resources, scripts and projects, if they're complete or near completion, and ready to be use for people who want to make a Solarus quest. I think lots of what is indexed in this topic could go to this list.

Once the Solarus awesome list is sufficiently long, I will add it to some related lists like: awesome-lua, awesome-gamedev, etc. to help Solarus visibility and popularity.

Of course we'll have to remove the Zelda games if Nintendo ask us to do so. I hope they believe our fan-games are just fair use, for fun.

Solarus is a game engine, just like Unreal or Unity. If someone makes a Zelda game with Unity, Nintendo cannot take down Unity. Solarus will continue to exist and improve, but the games would have to be removed and reworked with 100% custom sprites, tilesets and musics, before they can reappear. We would obviously archive them, if we have to remove them from the website.

There is a misconception about Nintendo being very aggressive on fanwork. Globally, they're nice and let fans play with their IPs (just see the massive amount of fan art that is made, and sometimes even sold without giving Nintendoo any money!). What they seem to not like is people remaking their games: they've taken down Mario 64 Online, Metroid 2 remake so far, and it was because they were completed, full games, in competition with their own games (respectively Mario Odyssey and Metroid 2 on 3DS). If we follow this logic, the only game that could be removed is the upcoming Link's Awakening remake with Solarus. Lots of projects are just stopped because the author gets bored and stops working on the project (making a game takes several years), not because he lost a battle in court or because the cops went down to his house to burn the hard drive!
