Hi Dark,
Definitely. When I began developing my own game engine I used the GMA
engine as a guide. Obviously, I didn't copy it outright but some of the
concepts are the same such as using f1 to bring up a menu of hot keys,
similar navigation aids, having markers, and other things like that are
in the USA Games engine.
Although, I can play Monkey Business, I own the game, I equally have
issues navigating around in it. The review commands and the over all way
a person gets feedback is not intuitive for a blind user. So I wouldn't
wish that on my worst enemy. :D
Cheers!

Hi Phil.
That's one of the things I most like in the gma engine, there are a
hole range of distance and informational commands, and each person can
decide which ones they prefer.
As I said, I myself use audio landmarks and directions, so would use
the directional cumpas with a bit of help from coordinates, but I know
other people are more in to counting steps etc.
I'm sure Tom will also include this with his engine as well.
i must confess the only audio fps game I've never had any luck with at
all is Monkey business, precisely because! the object scanner, sonar
and other navaids are so imprecise in that game.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
