Alphabet in lowercase, uppercase and mixed

[gegagome]

Hello everyone

I want to make a kids app which will have all 26 letters plus ñ for Spanish.

Can anyone please suggest a method to build a series of 27 game objects with lowercase, uppercase and mixed versions for each letter?

I have 54 models total (27 x 2) which will need to be accessed using a slide/scroll and the three case variations by swiping up or down.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks fellow PlayMakers!

Hi,

 I suggest you use a 2d framework such as ngui or 2d toolkit for this.

-- make your alphabet as a textured font
-- use the framework to list them all ( during editing, you can create that list manually) into a scrollable list or table.

If you want to automate the process, you could use ArrayMaker and  and a text file that you parse and create an object everytime. there is an wordmatch example that would be very similar to what you are willing to do ( only it would create objects for each entry instead of looking it up)

Hi Jean

Thank you for your reply.

The 2D framework obviously wouldn't work for 3D models of letters. In this app, kids are able to rotate the letters.

Any ideas?


Thanks again

There are many 3d text tools on the asset store:

I think some of them have free versions...

Or you could use SketchUp:

There might even be free online tools where you could enter text and download 3d models...

Sorry for the misunderstanding guys, my bad.

I already have the letters in fbx format (out of Blender) what I need help with is swiping sideways letter by letter and swipe vertically to load uppercase, lowercase and mixed.

Thanks again!

After buying PlayMaker from UAS, I decided to attempt to remake my app jangarces.com/kidpedia

A developer has done most of the work, but I want to be able to do it myself, hopefully using PlayMaker.

Thanks Jean and Alex
