Started to create masks, and a script to pack all the sprites in an atlas using the sprpack tool.

Only 10 sprites extracted until now.

The original sources have been resized from 2048x2048, to 1024x1024 .jpg to reduce the repository size from 45Mo down to 7Mo.

Open-source games are not all listed on one single web-site. But most of these web-sites probably use English, so searching for open-source games probably naturally trains English skills. Most of these games probably also use English, for both the source code, instructions about how to compile and play, and also inside the game, which will probably also train English skills. Messages on forums about these games, and bugs-issues/pull-requests, also use English most of the times.

There is a famous web-browser game that is called "z-type" (search "z-type" in a search engine), where words of natural language are the central element of the game, because it is a "typing-game" with the shape of a shmup-game. It is not open-source, but there are at least 2 open-source equivalents that exist. With these open-source equivalents, the language used can be switched easily, to use Spanish for example.

— "Any thoughts on how open-source games might offer unique language learning opportunities?"

Yes, a game could be specifically designed to learn another foreign language.

For example, mixing the "z-type" concept, with the concept of the game called "excellent-bifurcation" (where the game area is split in 2), for example on the left the player could type English-words, and after each word, the equivalent vocabulary in Spanish on the right area.

And if the mozilla-foundation really able to provide a conversational agent, with an API, it could be possible to include language dialogues in an RPG game (role-playing game).

A conversational agent can also be used as a way to play a "role-playing game" in a pure textual way. Unfortunatly I recieve "personal-attacks" with the conversational agent from open-ai.

Maybe the one from the mozilla-foundation (open-source equivalent) will be an "harssment-free" one ?

At least this is what they claim, but I'm not completly convinced they will really do...

(I was also willing to learn other foreign languages with this conversational-agent, but the inclusions of personal-attacks in the replies made me completly stop.)

This would be so nice if you make it with this graphics-kit:

Would you need some expensions for what you plan ?

Or a colorful version of what is already in this kit ?

Which programming-language are you planning to use ?

Sorry, I forgot to say that this is the file "js/game.js" that you have to edit, if you want to add more waves.

And if you want to slow down the rythm of the game a little bit, you can try to edit the file "js/app.js", and change the line 244:

  game.update(dt * 0.70);

The variable "dt" seems to be compatible with a float, so that you can try values like 0.60, 0.70 or 0.80
