I will implement the requested changes across four files to handle localization, UI styling, and metadata updates.

1. Localization for Game Options

Files: public/src/js/strings.js, public/src/js/songselect.js

• Action:
  • Add a new customSettings section to strings.js containing translations for:
    • "Speed" (ばいそく)
    • "Invisible" (ドロン)
    • "Reverse" (あべこべ)
    • "Random" (でたらめ)
    • "Sort by Title" (タイトル順で並べ替え)
    • Associated prompt messages (e.g., "Enter speed multiplier").
  • Update songselect.js to replace hardcoded Japanese strings with references to these new strings properties, ensuring the menu text updates dynamically based on the selected language.

2. Beautiful Category Colors

File: tools/categories.json

• Action: Refine the song_skin colors for each category to ensure they are distinct, aesthetic, and visually pleasing.
  • Pop: Cyan/Blue (#219fbb)
  • Anime: Vibrant Orange (#ff9700)
  • Vocaloid: Miku Green/Teal (#39c5bb) - Adjusted for better recognition
  • Variety: Lime Green (#8fd321)
  • Classical: Elegant Gold (#d1a016)
  • Game Music: Deep Purple (#9c72c0)
  • Namco Original: Reddish Orange (#ff5716)

3. Version and Metadata Updates

File: templates/index.html

• Action:
  • Update version text from vLightNova 1.0.0 to vLightNova 1.0.1.
  • Update the year in the description meta tag to 2026.
  • Optimize the <meta name="keywords"> tag by adding more relevant terms (e.g., "web game", "simulator", "taiko no tatsujin web") and organizing existing ones.

4. Verification

• Action:
  • Verify that the game options menu displays the correct language text (English/Japanese/Chinese/etc.).
  • Verify that the category backgrounds appear with the new color palette.
  • Check the page source to confirm the version number and meta tags are updated.
