Didn’t get what am I supposed to learn and how, the experience was frustrating

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.
Its about learning german articles. ("der", "die" or "das")
The idea is, when you have no idea which article is used for the word, you could just guess.
First and second are maybe wrong, you get the visual feedback.
But the third is correct, and by repetition, collecting the correct options again and again, it helps to learn.

Phahahaha, as a native speaker, this is a great way to put our horrible grammar rules to great use :D I believe it would be better if the example sentences didn’t often include the correct article already, e.g. “Der Baum ist gross”, or “Die Lamp leuchtet schön”.
Also, I clearly need a toggle for Swiss German orthography, as our Country is scared of ß :P

An interesting concept, but there’s not enough time to read the worlds/examples and while also playing the game, this is compounded by the inability to stop moving.

The web version has some performance issues, but after changing the configuration to use WASD it was still playable. I think when using the mouse it doesn’t reset your velocity when you release, so you have to click again to stop otherwise you just keep moving in the same direction. I like language learning games, and this is a lot more fun than using flashcards, and could be expanded to cover other topics too. Despite the low framerate, the visuals and particle effects are also very nice. Pretty happy with the chain I managed to create:

I tried the Windows version. It runs, although at a very low framerate. And then it crashes to desktop after a few seconds.

I'm having performance issues in wasm too. I won't rate this one, as it looks like there is some work in it, and i couldn't make it justice.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.
I think I should remove the gpu particle system hanabi.
bevy = { version = "0.16", features = ["webgpu"] }

bevy_hanabi = { version = "0.16", default-features = false, features = ["2d"] }

I saw this low fps on my phone, but thought: on the phone, so what.

This seems really neat. A learning game to master meiner (??) Artikel is exactly what I need, but the web version was just crawling at like 1 FPS, even in the menu screen and the I couldn't run the native Linux version. I'll try this later on Windows.

Developer

Thanks for feedback.
I think it needs webgpu support.
I have only minor drawdowns on my mac. But webgpu needs good support by graphics drivers and browser.
I will think of reducing the graphics effects in the web version.

Submitted

Oh ok. I have webgpu enabled in chrome but all the games I tried with it have very bad performance.

Developer

But when it is already slow in the menu screen, so maybe webgpu is a problem at all.

bevy = { version = "0.16", features = ["webgpu"] }
