💜 USAGE 💜

🖥️ windowed vs fullscreen

the game will start by default in windowed mode, but it can be changed into a fullscreen mode. and here's the cute part — the configuration will be maintained whenever it is started again later. it remembers. it's thoughtful like that. 🫶

🔐 the login screen

initially a login screen will be presented to the user. users can either:

• create an offline account for themselves, or
• use the default Guest account.

when logging into the game, a desired age (school year) can be selected to fine tune the difficulty of activities. so yes, the game is out here matching your energy and your skill level. ✨

🗂️ the starting screen, and how deep the rabbit hole goes

when logged in, the game will present a starting screen with 3 main groups of categories of activities to choose from.

pick a group → you get a list of all categories suitable for the previously selected age group. 📋

pick a category → you get a list of available activities. 📝

click an activity icon → it starts, and it takes up the whole screen. 🖵

and there's a back button in the top left corner to go back to the previous screen. thank u back button, we love u. 🙏

🌍 the two-step language situation (this one's important, bestie)

there are two steps to selecting a language, and the way that these are two different things is genuinely the whole point:

1. the language selected on the login screen will change the language of the login screen only — but it will also be used as a default language for new users.
2. after logging in, individual users can choose a different language. the icon to access the language selection screen is located in the bottom left corner of the home screen. the language selected here will be saved for each user individually. 💾

and why does that matter? because it allows users to use the program to learn other languages. 🗣️✨ literally the dream setup.
