Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/How-to-Customise-Open–Source-Language-Games

This is an introduction to the customisation of open-source language games for non-programmers. Use 'search in page' to find the lines quickly.

In the description, 'fit' means finding and duplicating the corresponding code and modify it to fit your new language.

Some games support online multiplayer, but if you are new to programming, you don't need to customise that.

For JavaScript games, they are usually opened with index.html.
