Princess is trapped in a dungeon, but Mario is not coming to save her. So ONLY YOU can save her using your super power – coding.

I can’t read the custom blocks, but LOVE this idea! Any chance you have a version in English??? Would love to use this with my students! ---

@KIKIvsIT@richard is the user’s selected localization (_i.e._, their selected language) surfaced anywhere via TypeScript? ---

@AlexK nope. Wouldn’t be too difficult to add, but obviously wouldn’t work on hardware. ---

I’ll add a selector within this project as a workaround. Easy enough to remove if a control is surfaced later. Thanks, @richard ! You’re the best. ---

I’ve created a first pass at a version that supports multiple languages. You can switch the language that the game uses between English and Simplified Chinese. The blocks also should change when you select a different language in the editor settings, although I’m still getting that bit figured out. I’ll also work with the original publisher to get my changes merged into their code base. For now, though, you should be able to work with the game in English. Have fun! > **[hoc-cubicbird-maze](https://arcade.makecode.com/02209-40184-67572-51456)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

Also want to promo [this playground] ([https://forum.makecode.com/t/this-game-is-different-use-your-coding-skill-to-play/](https://forum.makecode.com/t/this-game-is-different-use-your-coding-skill-to-play/)). It invite students to identify the problem ( don’t know picked up key or not when touching the door ) , analyze ( find some way to remember something happened or not ), and create solution ( introducing variable ) We’ve created around 30 playgrounds like this to help students think about the problem itself in specific contexts and explore solutions, and turn out pretty good for young learners for whom fun is most important
