Hey Chris,
Glad you like the air hockey game.
First, the paddle used to be constant, but it got annoying if I wanted to
switch to keyboard for a while. However, I can see you point and will loop
it again for the next release.
As for announcing the score, I'll have to turn it into a self-voicing game
for that, because I get a run-time error when the mouse is moving at the
same time sapi is speaking. No idea why. For now, use the mouse wheel to
announce scoring.
The up and down arrows control how much friction there is between the puck
and table. The lower the number, the more air is being pumped out and
therefore, the less friction you have. High numbers mean the puck slows
down rapidly.
What do the rest of you think? What else do you want in this game--and if
you say "online play," then one of you other vb6 experts will have to handle
it, because I have absolutely no clue how to set that kind of thing up.

Subject: [Audyssey] Air hockey question
Hey Ken, just tried your air hockey game. Some thoughts and a question.
I never really knew where I was in the game until the score was announced
at
the end. It might be nice to have goals announced with the score.
And what is happening if you hit up and down arrow and are hearing
numbers?
Is this some sort of mouse speed thing?
Also, it might be nice to have a constant sound for the paddle; I found
myself not always knowing where I was in relation to the goal and the
puck,
since I couldn't hear the paddle unless I moved it, and there was a
noticeable delay between gestures and the sound.
