WordHopper community · Created a new topic Dictionaries?

Is it possible to load an alternate dictionary? I’m very much enjoying it, but I find that UK English words are generally not recognised (eg. Tyre, Colour) - I looked but didn’t see anything about the wordlist/dictionary 3:

Completely stuck on this one, tbh

Thanks for the hints - I’ve added the template script and such, and updated my post. I found that the time calculation itself could be optimised, since the call to parse "%e" sys.now and the math that followed was taking a timestamp, turning it into an object, then turning it back into a timestamp again (but where the start of the epoch is midnight of the current day, BMT), and it could be shortened to just (1/86.4) * (86400 % (sys.now + 3600)). Matters very, very little when the speed of the Lil interpreter is limited within Decker, but it feels better to me.

I took on the (admittedly simple) challenge of emitting an event when the .beat internet time changes. I only discovered Decker today, so suggestions are welcome if I've misunderstood concepts or am using things wrong (i'm pretty sure preserving state between `view` events is not supposed to be done via an off-canvas textbox, but i wanted to avoid emitting an event more than once for the same timestamp), but here's an event-emitting .beat time box:


I've updated it to include a template for the beat_tick event, and  optimised things a little  by not doing any string formatting at all if the time hasn't changed  (reducing how much stuff happens at 60Hz), eliminating the parse call for sys.now (thanks for answering my modulo question over on cohost!)  and inlining the calculation in the format call. This results in a 0.06% reduction on the profiler.

I just tried to install 1.0.2 (version 6) on my unit (running OS 1.11.0) and I'm getting "There was a problem installing this game" on the device itself, when at 100% installing.
