If a character's bored, can they program a game on the PCD? Like you used to be able to do with the TI graphing calculators?

[adstrngndummod]

Yes, games can be programmed onto the PCD, let me edit that in now.

I has question. My character, if accepted, really only knows Korean. Does the PCD have a translator program?

[adstrngndummod]

For the sake of communicating, yes, the PCD would translate things so your character can understand them/communicate.

[aristastarfyr]

Excellent, thank you. <3

Not-yet-accepted player with question, orz.

Is there any way for a character to draw with the PCD?--- Like how people use tablets in real life. Or would they have to create a program like MS Paint and then... I dunno, draw with some kind of stylus? *flails* I hope you understand my question. D:

[adstrngndummod]

The question makes sense.

As the PCDs aren't set up with a drawing program yet, they would have to make one or have someone make one for them. There are a few people in the city with skills to make such programs: Matt (Deaht Note), Alphonse Elric (FMA), and Juke Wurlitzer (Original) are the first three that come to mind. It should be relatively easy for someone to make one too, though. The PCDs are designed to be user friendly.

They do not have a stylus. But if your character can find a tablet and stylus in the city, with a little work, they can be made compatible.

I see there is voice-to-text transcribing, but what about text to audio? For example, if a blind character were to enter the city, they obviously wouldn't be able to read text entries. Is that/would that be possible as well?

[adstrngndummod]

Yes, that would be possible. :)
