How many changes to the scripts were there other than translation of text?
It would take more time to copy the English text onto the Japanese mobile scripts, right?
Word wrapping is a pain because you need to either buffer characters until there's a space or be able to erase characters, both of which would require major changes to the text processing system.
Also with a variable width font we have to find a way to measure the width of the characters.
The brute force way is to insert line wrapping manually, which will work but it will require a lot of work.
Another thing is that the current game wraps at 26 characters, which is a bit short.
At the moment, the first page is like this:
Code:
It was a thrust like lig
htning.
A spearhead thrust to pi
erce my heart.
Trying to dodge it would
be useless.
Being lightning, it's in
visible to the human eye.
With manual line breaks it would be like this:
Code:
It was a thrust like
lightning.
A spearhead thrust to
pierce my heart.
Trying to dodge it would
be useless.
Being lightning, it's
invisible to the human
eye.
Since the lines are so short, it could be that all the text doesn't fit on one page. We can add a extra pages though (we might have to re-number all the pages).
Edit: Landscape mode can fit 10 lines.
