You can rotate any piece of cable, and whenever +the cables form an unbroken connection between all the machines, the level is +over. However, the game has a time limit, and on later stages, random +connections may "break" and rotate themselves. The idea is similar to an old +game called "NetWalk", but unlike "NetWalk", there is no central "server" that +all computers must be connected to. + +# why translate an nes game? + +The now-retired toki pona pages by jan Pije offered a bunch of toki pona translation ROM +hacks for old games, and to sort of honor jan Pije's contributions, I decided to +try and make my own translation hack. Except in this case, the game is +public-domain and open-source, which means there are no copyright issues with +hosting the game. + +# screenshots + +![Title Screen](jan_lawa_title.png) + +![Gameplay](jan_lawa_gameplay.png) + +# downloads + +* [NES ROM file](jan_lawa.nes) + +* [(Very messy) source code](jan_lawa_src.tar.gz) + diff --git a/static/tokipona/jan_lawa.nes b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa.nes new file mode 100644 index 0000000..93a9a40 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa.nes differ diff --git a/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_gameplay.png b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_gameplay.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..1d3b246 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_gameplay.png differ diff --git a/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_src.tar.gz b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_src.tar.gz new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a5385aa Binary files /dev/null and b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_src.tar.gz differ diff --git a/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_title.png b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_title.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d04ab23 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/tokipona/jan_lawa_title.png differ
