Tunic Language Notebook

A tool that allows you to input characters from the the language of the game Tunic and create words and phrases from this language easily. Keep track of your translation theories and contexts for the words to help you discover their meanings.

Features:

• Tunic Character Input
• Quick-Select Characters
• Word List with Translation Based Filtering (e.g. search for words relating to the English "item".
• Quick-Compose Phrases from the Word List.
• Edit translations of the words when viewing the whole phrase.
• Provide contextual descriptions for words/phrases.
• See the phrases containing each word.
• Fast, effective workflows for inputting

DISCLAIMER: I have not played much of the game yet; the state of the tool reflects my knowledge of the game so far and will change as it expands!

How to Use:

1. Click on the segments in the Characters tab to build a character.
2. Click Add to Typesetter or double click the character in the existing list to add it to a floating window - keep on adding characters until you have created a word.
3. Click Send to Word Display - you will be sent to the Words tab.
4. Enter any context or translation and click Add to Dictionary.
5. Similarly, you can add words to a phrase as you would characters.
6. Phrases show a translation text box under each word that will automatically update the word's translation.

There are a number of features I would like to add:

• Data Analysis - improved linking between phrases, sub-phrases and super-phrases, and tools to count most common characters etc.
• Full Text Translation - English text directly to Tunic text and vice-versa.
• Visual Character Recognition - Input of characters is slow and tedious even now - it would be helpful to be able to provide a picture to input characters.
• Fuzzy Search - Improved search options for the word/phrase searching.
• Accomodate English and Punctuation - Often English and English punctuation is mixed into Tunic phrases. It would be good
• UI Polish - improve the style.
  
• Performance - the techniques used to render the characters are a little...naive.
