Re: Arcane Fortune - Windows/Linux/Mac console-played grand strategy game
Hey,
Speakup is a little difficult to work with, particularly if you try to use it while a GUI is running. This is because most modern linux systems use a program called PulseAudio to handle sound mixing, and speakup doesn't play well with this system. I recommend killing the PulseAudio daemon before you try to run Espeakup. More over, Speakup is a console screen reader only, that is, it won't work in graphical terminal windows.
So to get Speakup working the sequence is something like this.
1. KIll pulseaudio.
2. Run espeakup.
3. Perhaps load Speakup's software synth driver (mod probe speakup_soft). This may be done automatically, or could be done before you run the daemon, I don't know if the order matters.
THis is all a bit far from the main topic, but if we can get some sort of Linux system for text games that would be lovely. It's hard to explain to people who aren't already familiar with the system, however. I just think that Speakup generally has the best support for this kind of thing at the moment.
An alternative is a program called TDSR, which is easier to get working but not as featureful. It does, however, have the advantage of working on Macs as well.
Hope this Brain dump is helpful.
