Updates on the Si Hua Zi Wei application - Localisation

 

It is quite an irony, today when I added support for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.  I will be adding other Western European languages soon if time is kind to me.  I took the opportunity to clean up the localisation and we see how it goes.

The next enhancement is UI related.  

If two stems in single palace sends outgoing transformers to opposing palace, I used a UI trick to enhance the effects below and labelled the transformation!  This is recent cosmetic change for the clunky application 8)











In the good old workstation days, graphics or system programming in C or C++ was interesting work after the dark ages of the Assembler.  Web application was one area that you tried to avoid given the horrible slop from the Javascript folks and till today, it continues to stump me that chaps are using hand phones to view 12 palace charts.  We live in a strange world.

Next UI challenge in the horrible world of web application, how to plot a chart for a customer who has triplets 8)

Before you pay money for someone to spoonfed you, put on your thinking cap.  The idea is simple, think of Siblings and set that palace to be Life aspect for your twin doppelganger .  

The other method uses Palace Interchange.  I will briefly describe palace interchange in another blog, yes, free of charge.

When I first introduced the Twin feature in the clunky Si Hua application 10 years ago, I am actually puzzled that some con$ultant wanted to put that nugget in a paid course.  So I guessed I just busted another money making opportunity for another folk, oops.
