h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

How's this coming along? Need any more help?

I found some links. My only problem now is to try to "translate" it into British english. Stupid rules discriminating against me

You still working on this?

If you're having difficulty with the British English, something that might help is doing a quick UK English spell-check. That will fix all the spelling differences, if it won't fix different words.

Its not trouble so much as it is preoccupation with other things but thanks anyway. I'll try again to finish.

How's it going?

I keep getting distracted by stuff. Its a shame too since I was almost done except for proper spelling (the american in me weeps, the lazy person in me weeps, and the apathetic part of me? Nobody knows what hes thinking.)


I'll be moving to college this week so... yeah. Sometime after that.

Emmily

I thank you for all your help. I will point out however that some things were right. Platformer is a genre of game where the charecter jumps from platform to platform. Roboticist is the term for a robot scientist, as found in Asimov and the game. Powerup, cutscene, gameplay are all video game terms and one word.

Its a American soccer ball which would make it a British football. To make it more confusing, there was a game called Megaman Soccer.

But anyways, with your help and my insomnia I finally have the tools I need to finish this.

Should the list of the games not be after the title The Games, its currently after The Characters subheader. Or you could make a new title, replacing The Games title with The Plot, cos you do need to introduce the rough overview before the characters, but the games after the characters like you already have it. I haven't the time to check it all cos I'm off out but I thought I'd bookmark it, plus Emmily seems to have pointed out enuf to keep you busy with.

The games to the Plot, and list of games before charecters? Maybe list of games before the plot even.

Ok, EvilClaw, I stand corrected, or rather sit corrected. I wasn't sure of some of them.

Emmily

Thats okay. The only reason I know is far too many years of video games

No, no. Plot overview, then characters, then games. I think so anyway - basically how you have it just with one extra title&one edited title

Ah... I guess that makes sense...

You've not corrected any of the spellings EvilClaw

IMO the easiest way, if you have Word, is to click 'Edit Entry' copy and paste the whole lot (in case you don't know, you can press 'Ctrl' and 'A' on keyboard together, that will highlight it all) corect the spellings that need correcting, (with Word on 'British/English) then copy and paste the whole lot back.

Emmily

I'm sorry but I'm a poor college student with an assignment due on tuesday (drawing portfolio). After that I will fix it. And again, thanks for all the help.

Congratulations EvilClaw


Emmily

Wahey, now you don't need to do those spelling mistakes :p

Well done

I was panicing a little, as I didn't think it would be accepted until the errors were corrected, you're lucky EvilClaw, the Eds must be a in good mood.
