what's it about?
This is a translation of the public domain homebrew game "LAN Master" by Shiru that changes all of the text in game into sitelen pona.
what's "lan master"
"LAN Master" is a puzzle game, in which your goal is to connect all of the computers with pipe-like cables. 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.
