Adventuring With Belfast In Another World V01 Best πŸš€

If you are a fan of series like Rising of the Shield Hero or Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? , then is a mandatory addition to your shelf. It manages to capture that sense of wonder that first drew many of us to fantasy, while providing a "best-of" experience in terms of modern writing standards.

To get the "Best" outcome in v0.1 content, your choices should balance treating Belfast with respect while displaying capable leadership as her Commander/Partner. Scenario / Choice Event Choice Option Impact & Reward Reassure Belfast and check her status first. +10 Trust; establishes solid baseline relationship. First Guild Registration Let Belfast handle the introductory negotiation. +5 Affection; unlocks the "Polite Maid" dialogue path. The Forest Subjugation Quest Use a tactical ambush strategy instead of rushing in. Avoids damage; yields bonus Gold and maximum Trust. Nighttime at the Inn Commend her hard work and offer to share the workload. adventuring with belfast in another world v01 best

Those with a "*" above have a "Teach" mode for addition, subtraction and just added multiplication, division, square root and cube root. Multiplication, division, and roots works best on "Lee" versions as they can hold values in auxiliary abacii.

Now with beginnings of some language support for French, Spanish, Dutch, German, Norwegian, Russian (I need help from translators see line 72 or so of abacus.js). It is all driven by a single JavaScript program with input parameters in the html.

Let me know of any bugs... (yes, the Lee's Abaci has some alignment issues if you change number of rails). If there is a abacus design not featured that you want to see, let me know. The Java below has more features (and no alignment issues), but can no longer run in your browser ... sigh.

You can download the jar file (preserve the .jar extension), and then it can be run as an application like "java -jar AbacusApp.jar -rails=15" or "java -jar AbacusApp.jar -lee=1 -leftAuxRails=9 -rightAuxRails=9". The X Manual Page is written for the X version but may be useful to understanding the Java program.

There is a feature for teachers to test students on the use the abacus. This would give the ability to create your own tests. Results would go into a results directory. Sample tests are given in zip file (there is only the one test so far). The idea is to move the beads to the correct position and then record the answer by a certain time.
