How to add formulas and chemical names to the game

Files

There are three files containing the formulas and chemical names: entities1.lvl, entities2.lvl and entities3.lvl, the number corresponding to the difficulty. They can be found in the folder assets/data/levels.

Formatting your line

To add new chemical elements to the files, you have to separate each element with the :: operator. french_name::english_name_or_symbols::good_answer::wrong_answer1::wrong_answer2::wrong_answer3 Example: Amidure::Azanide::NH₂⁻::NH::NH₃::NH₄⁺

You don't have to worry about the order of the wrong answers, as it will be randomized with the good answer in the game.

Spaces are allowed.

Acide chlorhydrique::Hydrochloric acid::HCl::KCl::H₂Cl₂::HCl₂

Comments start with // .

// This line will be ignored by the program.

Symbols and ids

Instead of writing the English names for each element you add, you can use symbols. The * symbol means that the french chemical name will be picked (accents are removed).

To simplify the following examples, I will write (...) instead of good_answer::wrong_answer1::wrong_answer2::wrong_answer3

Example: Acétate::*::(...) => Acetate

You can add ids after * to not only pick the french chemical name and remove accents, but also add other modifications to it.

  • *i replaces last occurence of y by i. Hydroxyde::*i::(...) => Hydroxide

  • *l removes the last character. Hydrogène::*l::(...) => Hydrogen

  • *ium removes the last character and adds ium suffix. Chrome::*ium::(...) => Chromium

  • *ide replaces ure suffix by ide. Chlorure::*ide::(...) => Chloride

  • *rev interchanges the words and removes French preposition. Cyanate de sodium::*rev::(...) => Sodium cyanate

  • *rev also translates argent into silver, as many elements of the files have it. Iodate d'argent::*rev::(...) => Silver iodate

  • *acid interchanges the words, changes the suffix (from ique to ic) and capitalizes the result. Acide maléique => Maleic acid

You can call multiples symbols by separating them using the : operator. All modifications will be made in order.

Peroxyde d'hydrogène::*l:*rev:*i::(...)

  1. *l => Peroxyde d'hydrogen
  2. *rev => Hydrogen peroxyde
  3. *i => Hydrogen peroxide

You can also use several times the same symbol.

Hydroxyde de baryum::*i:*rev:*i::(...)

  1. *i => Hydroxyde de barium
  2. *rev => Barium hydroxyde
  3. *i => Barium hydroxide
