# what's it about?
|
|
|
|
This is a translation of the public domain homebrew game "LAN Master" by
|
|
[Shiru](http://shiru.untergrund.net/) 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.
