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 according to the pattern.

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

Tips about opening JavaScript programs. Input 'cmd' in ‘Run’ to start the command line on Windows.
