Kana Ka-Boom - v1.1.0

Japanese Input Now Supported

For those of you with Japanese keyboards (or keyboard covers) that are working on memorizing those keyboard layouts for typing.

I will add some detailed documentation on Steam for setting up Japanese IME on both Windows and OSX, but here are the basics for those of you that are already setup:

For OSX

  • Everything just works

  • Switch your input to Hiragana or Katakana and type away

  • Control-J or F6 to switch to Hiragana

  • Control-K or F7 to switch to Katakana

  • For those of you with Mac laptops, I recommend this site for Japanese keyboard covers: https://kbcovers.com/product/japanese-keyboard-cover/

For Windows

  • There are a few settings you'll need to tweak

  • Make sure "Predictive Input" is off

  • Make sure "Use Kana input for hardware keyboard" is on

  • If you don't have a 109 key keyboard (with the Hankaku/Zenkaku key) then you'll want to set the "Ctrl + Space" key assignment to "IME-on/off"

  • Ctrl + Caps lock to switch to Hiragana

  • Alt + Caps lock to switch to Katakana

Steam Achievements Now Work In OSX

I use steamworks.js in order for my code to trigger Steam achievements and it wasn't working originally on the OSX side, but it appears they've fixed the issue in their latest build and now everything works!
