[Audyssey] New Game: Apples to Apples!

[Ryan Smith]

Hello Gamers,

Exactly 2 years ago, December 20th, 2009, RS Games released Monopoly.
The free game only ran on Windows, and was our sole multiplayer title.
What originally started out as a fun project turned into a dream come
true on this date. We received a heap of feedback from players,
extolling our work, as well as asking for more games. Therefore,
several months later, we released Uno, and the RS Games Client which
currently powers our multiplayer platform. Unlike Monopoly, this piece
of software runs on three common operating systems, Mac, Windows, and
Linux. It also allows us to release new games without people having to
go to a website and download new software.

In celebration of our first anniversary, on December 20th, 2010, we
added Yahtzee as our third title. It is one of the more popular games
on the server, and based on the comments from many players, we know
hours of fun have been spent playing it.

To celebrate our second anniversary, we are releasing our latest
title, Apples to Apples. It is a really fun game and I'm confident you
will enjoy it. Come visit us at www.rsgames.org and join the over 9000
registered players. You will need the latest version of our client,
version 1.4 which was released on Sunday in order to play.

Thank you.
-Ryan

Re: [Audyssey] speculative html game programming

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
JavaScript can store your information/produce sounds, and re-load HTML
pages behind the scene with AJAX. ( I've done a similar thing with
loading new data behind the scenes in my web version of Monopoly, that
I'll hopefully release very very soon.) You'd store information in
variables, and perhaps store saved games in cookies. Going this route,
players can save the various HTML files to there hard drives. (You can
also just use 1 HTML file. The different links users need to click to
make choices, etc, can all be accomplished in 1 file with JavaScript).

If your trying to do something kind of like LOTGD, your best bet is a
combination of JavaScript and PHP. You could store the character's
login/password, and the different stats on them (health, level, etc)
with MySQL. You can make use of JavaScript to load sounds. PHP would
echo HTML code for various links to do things.

[Audyssey] New Game: Monopoly!

[Ryan Smith]

Hey Guys,
Mike F, Jayson Smith and myself have been working hard to release
Monopoly. It is based off of the classic board game. However, it is
different from Jim's Monopoly game. Monopoly by RS Games is an
exciting multiplayer online game (and yes, it's free). We currently
offer 2 versions. One for Windows computers. This is the most
interactive and feature rich. We also offer an In the Browser version.
This version can be played on Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.

I encourage you to check out both of them. You can find them here:
www.rsgames.co.nr
Enjoy.
-Ryan Smith

Re: [Audyssey] New Game: Monopoly!

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Christopher,
All of the information is stored server-side. If some weird behavior
like that happens, please refresh the webpage. Do you still have that
problem after refreshing it?

Internet Explorer doesn't support JavaScript or AJAX how I'd like it
to. What might be the case is, Internet Explorer is re-loading the
proper buttons, but Jaws isn't reading them. Try tabbing so one of the
buttons is focused and try again.

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] My impressions of monopoly

Thanks alot Zachary. Mike, Jayson and I each put in lots of code and

[Audyssey] Monopoly Patch!

[Ryan Smith]

Hey,
We have released a mandatory patch that fixes some issues users were
having. It is mandatory because we've moved the server to a new
location. It will now run on 64 bit systems, and has fixes for several
errors users were encountering. The patch also includes some
enhancements and bug fixes, such as a few new hot keys to get
information while in the game. The complete list of changes can be
found in the readme file.

If you have the previous version installed, you only need to download
a very small patch that will automatically install. If you did not
install the previous version, then the entire setup is there for you.

The In the Browser client has also been updated. It is faster and
several bugs were fixed. You can now Change your Password from the
main menu and more information about your assets are shown.

You can check it out at: www.rsgames.co.nr

Enjoy!

Re: [Audyssey] Aplication Deployment Question

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Inno Setup is definitely the way to go. It's very easy to use (and
free), and you can use Pascal for any additional scripting your setup
may need. For a guess the number game, Inno's basic features should do
it.

Re: [Audyssey] Mac Comment: Re: X-Sight Interactive News

Hi,
The reason Mac's have less malware is because it doesn't have a large
percentage of users (compared to how many Windows has). If someone
really wanted too, I'm sure they could make a virus for a Mac.

[Audyssey] RSGames Monopoly Patch

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Gamers,
We have just released a patch to Monopoly PC version that contains
many bug fixes (which makes the game run more smoothly). We have added
some new features, such as token locations and being able to view your
assets when it is not your turn. We have also added System Access

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for the feature suggestion. You will now get connection
notices of people when you are not in a game.
Enjoy.

Re: [Audyssey] monopoly issue

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Brandon,
That isn't a problem. The server has no idea that you want to play in
the same game as your friend. You need to join the game she is in. The
reason it tells your friend that, is because there is no one in her
game. You should be able to find more about this in the readme files.

I really hope you all are enjoying this game. We have over 1000
registered players. If you haven't already, grab your free copy at
www.rsgames.co.nr
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] monopoly issue

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Joining a game isn't logging on. By already in a game, do you mean you
are actually playing Monopoly, or are you at the main menu? If you are
already playing a Monopoly game, click the Leave this Game button.
Click Yes when it asks if you want to leave the game. You should now
see a few buttons. Click the button that says Join Game. Then, you
should see several different buttons:
Game Number with people
Click the button with your friend in it. Once you have joined your
friends game, she can press enter.

If you did all the above, and it still tells your friend she can't
play a game with yourself, you may have joined a different game by
accident.
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] programming

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Visual Basic 6 is very very old. I would not suggest that a new developer
uses it anymore. Awhile back, I created a clone of BSC Game's Crazy Darts in
the .NET framework. A sound moves from left to right, and your goal is to
try to hit the center. The closer you are to the center, the more points you
receive. I'd have to go find it on my computer and clean it up a bit, but
I'll upload it for you when I do. It uses DirectSound and DirectInput from
DirectX9.

Even a person who is not a professional like myself, does not need to lookup
much. I already knew how to use DirectSound and DirectInput. Becoming a
better programmer requires practice. I had figure out a solution to the main
problem in this game: how to move a ship from left to right. The answer is
simple: panning the sound and a timer; they are both documented online. No
website or person gave me the code or ideas to do this, but do you see how I
put together what I knew (timers and sound panning) to create this? This is
an important skill in computer programming,  problem solving.

Thank you.

Re: [Audyssey] Moderator's note, please read! Re: New Version of Monopoly Released

[Ryan Smith]

Hello,
I know who sent the email. If you look at the header, it came from
TrekGames.net. Tristan Bussiere is the owner of TrekGames.net (and the
MUD Cosmos). (I am not sure if you all know how email headers work,
but the email was definitely sent from TrekGames.net.) While I do not
know if he sent it personally, he certainly needs to be smarter about
securing his VPS, or if he did send it, to show some maturity.
Here is part of the email header:

Received: from li127-90.members.linode.com ([69.164.212.90] helo=trekgames.net)
by server1.ultrahost.us with esmtp (Exim 4.69)
(envelope-from ) id 1NiX92-0003nv-9c
for gamers@audyssey.org; Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:00:04 -0500

Received: from Trekgames.net (trekgames.net [127.0.0.1])
by trekgames.net (Postfix) with SMTP id 729F3B1601


I know for a fact Tristan uses Linode, and owns the domain
TrekGames.net. I assure you all, my computers are secure, and he
spoofed the email using my Gmail address.

I am not sure if this is part of the recent attacks of spoofing Raul
has spoken of. To be sure of this, you can easily check the email
headers of future emails.

Thank you.

Re: [Audyssey] Early Survey Results

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Muhammed,
Producing audiogames is NOT always free. Developers need to pay for web
hosting, sound effects, voice actors, background music, and depending on the
game: a VPS,  dedicated server or sound library. If someone puts lots of
time and energy into something, they should get pay for it. If you think
programming is just clicking around, then I suggest trying it yourself.
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Ace fire and online mode

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
This is because ACE Fire uses a direct peer to peer connection. I forget
what port ACE Fire uses, but it requires you to forward a port on your
router. Monopoly uses a server in which all users connect to, and therefore
you don't have to forward any ports.

This isn't a "problem" in ACE Fire. Some multiplayer games are built this
way. I am not sure if a UPnP DLL exists for VB6, but I know it exists for
.NET. (I started to write a program using it.) It allows a developer to
automatically forward the port for the users, as long as they haven't
disabled it in there router for security reasons. Anyway, as long as you
know what port to forward, port forwarding isn't too difficult.
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay GameToolkitreleased!

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Phil,
Excellent! As a .NET/JavaScript/PHP/MOO developer myself, this will look
like some real fun to play with! I have some suggestions and a question for
you. I think it would be a useful function where you would provide a webpage
(HTTP protocol), and it would return the result as a string or as an array
separated by newlines.

Did you by any chance use the Angelscript library? I know you mentioned
earlier you used an existing scripting language to power your engine.
Angelscript looks like a pretty cool scripting engine.

I know you mentioned earlier you were going to put socket support in. When
you do, do this, I would recommend some kind of events. IE: onRecieve,
onConnect, onDisconnect. I think this would be easier for new programmers to
grasp rather than a while loop.

I am not very familiar with Angelscript, if your using it or how BGT really
works, but I'm wondering if it would be possible for users to "extend" BGT
with C++ code. I think this would be easier for more experienced users to
add any necessary features that some people might not use.

My last and final question is to everyone else out there. I know Phil
has definitely simplified the process of game creation, but how easy do you
all find it?(specifically non-programmers).

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] another error with the game.

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Muhammed,
It makes our job much easier if you posted the code along with the error
messages. This allows us to explain the problem and help you fix the code.
Usually, just posting an error message doesn't give us that much information
on your problem.

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay Game Toolkitreleased!

Hi Muhammed,
The browser has little to do with download speeds. Since I'm sure many
people are downloading BGT, that is the most likely cause.

Re: [Audyssey] Beta version 0.1 of the blastbay Game Toolkitreleased!

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Right. Downloading depends on the upload speed of the server, in this
case, BlastBay's HTTP server, and the connection you have. The browser
has little to do with it. Muhammed may have had a decent connection
because he downloaded it at a time when other people weren't, or
because he has a better connection then Jayson. When browsers are
called "fast", this is typically how fast it can parse and display
HTML, and how quickly it can render JavaScript. While I completely
agree with you Muhammed that Firefox is a good browser, it doesn't
necessarily have a better download speed then Internet Explorer or
Opera That is entirely dependent on the server and your connection.
HTH.

[Audyssey] First BGT Game

[Ryan Smith]

Hey,
Here is a small example BGT game I wrote that I call Target Practice.
A sound pans randomly from left to right, or right to left. Your goal
is to press space when the sound is as close to the center as
possible. It is a bit harder then it sounds. Target Practice includes
three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium and Hard. I have zipped it up.
Unzip it, and open readme.txt for more information.
You can find the game here:
http://www.x-sight-interactive.net/rsgames/ccount/click.php?id=17

Enjoy.

[Audyssey] RS Games Client Patch

[Ryan Smith]

Hello All,
We have released a patch. Here is what we have changed:
-Speech interrupting itself on Mac OSX. Speech should work well now.
Rate can still be adjusted with Command+Right/Left
-You can now move to the top and bottom of checklist menus with the
left and right arrow keys, as in normal menus.
-You can now use hotkeys from within checklist menus.
-You can now select all items in a checklist with CTRL+Space
(Command+Space on the Mac) and de-select all items with Shift+Space
-Fixed a bug where the client would speak "Invalid choice" after
downloading sounds

You can download it from www.rsgames.co.nr

Enjoy!

[Audyssey] New Game: Yahtzee!

[Ryan Smith]

Hi All,

On exactly this day a year ago, RS Games Monopoly was released. It
only worked on Windows and only had the potential to be one game. Now,
the RS Games server has expanded to support Windows, Linux, and Mac,
and allows you to play Monopoly and Uno. To mark the anniversary of
the first release, we are adding a third game to our
selection--Yahtzee. RS Games Yahtzee is an accessible, online,
multiplayer version of the classic dice game. Like our other games, it
is played on the RS Game server and features high quality sound
effects, the ability to chat with your friends, and much more.

You do not have to download anything new to play Yahtzee, although we
released an update patch last night and you should download it (from
www.rsgames.co.nr) if you haven't already. Simply login to your RS
Games account and choose Yahtzee from the games menu. Thanks go out to
our beta testers for testing the game and helping us to find and fix
bugs. We hope you enjoy Yahtzee, and happy holidays from RS Games!

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT and Screen Reader API's

Hi Thomas,
The first version of the RS Games client used ESpeak directly, but it
now uses speech-dispatcher. I'm not sure if your voices support
speech-dispatcher though.

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] First BGT Game

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Angela,
I'm not quite sure what the problem is. I am using Phil's dynamic_menu
class. If I had to guess, I'd assume it'd have something to do with a
screen reader. I think Phil will have to help me out on this one.
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] The new game, Battleboomer, Released!

Hi,
The BASS sound library is free for non-commercial use, as is FMOD.
Here is a wrapper someone made for BASS:
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83481

I don't have much experience with BASS myself, but I'm sure it's much
better then COMAudio.
Thanks.

Why can't you look? Using Sapi with AutoIt is really easy. You just

Re: [Audyssey] MegaRacer

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
I was looking through the source Claudio provided to see what was
causing that error I saw, and realized it was the COMAudio dll. I took
a guess and tried registering it, and it worked. I've created a basic
executable to register the dll, and move it to system32 for you. You
can find the executable/source here:
www.rsgames.co.nr/downloads/MGRacer/

Claudio should see if his setup program can register the DLL for him,
and if not, he should switch to Inno Setup.

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] a reminder to secure your sites

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Running your own VPS is certainly the best solution. I personally love
Linode, which I don't find too expensive. By using a VPS, I get full
root access to any Linux distribution of my choice (I prefer Debian),
and I get to secure the system myself. I won't have to depend on
someone to update software, setup security policies, etc. Since I have
root access, I have the ability to install or program software. We
were able to program, administrate, and run Monopoly (and soon to to
be Uno), all through a VPS, which wouldn't be possible on a shared
host like BlueHost.

I suppose a VPS wouldn't be a good solution for someone who is new to
Linux, but someone could always learn. It is not the best idea to be
dependent on the shared hosting company to secure the server for you.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Compatibility was Tomb Hunter Error

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
VB6 has a poor implementation of OOP called class modules. They can
certainly improve VB6 developers programs, but are missing key
elements, such as inheritance.

The switch from VB6 to VB.NET was the best thing I've ever done!
(Okay, maybe that's a little exaggerated.) What I don't think
developers realize is how much easier OOP is versus an object-based
language. It can be especially useful in games, where you might have a
generic Enemy class, and would like to create specific sub-classes
with special properties or methods.

Another good thing about switching, is you get access to the .NET
framework! One feature that was really lacking in VB6 was the ability
to spawn threads. There's a whole bunch of other cool things, like
networking (without WinSock), database connectivity, LINQ, and some
crypto stuff.

One big difference is how garbage collection works. VB6 is based on
COM (each obj has a reference counter, although hidden, that count the
number of variables in the scope that point to the object). So if you
were to use the New keyword with an object, (assume there are no other
variables in the scope), the reference count would be increased to 1.
Do the same thing again, and the reference count is increased to 2. So
when it gets to 0 (one common way is to set to Nothing), there is no
need for this object to be in memory anymore, and is therefore thrown
in the trash by the garbage collector.

.NET handles this differently. Instead of seeing how many objects
point to one another, .NET will keep a list of what things point to
one another. So let's say all the pointers have gone away. Once this
happens, just an unreferenced object is in memory. Eventually, .NET
will garbage collect these unreferenced objects. You might think that
this doesn't really affect how you program, but in reality, it does!
In VB6, you might set a variable to Nothing (causing the reference
count to be 0), and have VB6 do garbage collection. In .NET, if there
is only one reference to the object, setting the object to Nothing
will cause it to be collected, later. So if you need garbage
collection immediately, you should implement a dispose method, which
can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fs2xkftw.aspx.

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] jim kitchens games with win7 64bit

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Muhammed,
What does this have to do with anything? No one said Jim's games were
not cool. I'm not sure if this is a rule, but posts with only one line
that don't add anything to the conversation probably should be kept to
a minimum.

As far as Inno setup is concerned, it really is a neat program. The
Pascal scripting in it is quite useful. You could pretty easily check
what version of the .NET framework is installed, and alert the user if
they should upgrade.  If you wanted to take it one step further, you
could probably have Inno automatically download the .NET framework or
other dependencies (like DirectX) with use of a dll. I know for a fact
future programs I use Inno setup for will definitely check for the
proper version of the .NET framework and DirectX, and alert the user
to upgrade.  A feature like this would cut down on emails where people
can't run .NET programs because they don't have DirectX installed (and
didn't read the documentation.)

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Open G3D Project

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Thomas,
This sounds pretty interesting. At RS Games, we are in the process of
beta testing a client that will allow users to play Monopoly (as well
as Uno, and several other games) through a protocol we created,
written in Python, using  wxPython, PyGame, and Pyttsx (which
automatically detects and uses Sapi, Speech-Dispatcher, or the
NSSpeechSynthesizer.). These tools have really simplified the work
necessary to cross-platform game development. This is a fantastic
option for games we host on our server, as they will mainly be
multiplayer card and board games. But for something like your engine,
Python might not be fast enough, and it would require a complete
re-write.

I've had some experience with the Mono framework, and it has been
mainly positive. I'm not sure how hard it is to get speech output on
Linux/Mac working, as I haven't spent too much time on it, but it is a
must have feature. I should also mention that I think Mono is the best
solution here.

If you take the C++ route, most mainstream game engines allow Lua
scripting. I like Lua, but I've been looking at the AngelScript (which
does run on Linux and Mac) documentation, and it might be easier to
integrate into your engine.

Network support is certainly a nice feature to have, but there are a
few things I have to say about it. I don't find multiplayer games
appealing where you have to type in someone's IP address. While it
wouldn't be that hard to create a simple server to create a lobby (to
just transfer IP addresses. The game will still be P2P connection.),
this project is aimed at new and experienced programmers. Another
thing is that in order to make a fast-paced game, you need to use the
UDP protocol. UDP doesn't do anything to ensure datagrams are sent
reliably. Therefore, UDP is considered unreliable, as datagrams may go
missing, be duplicated, or be out of order. This can pose a serious
issue if the programmer isn't careful, as a die datagram may arrive at
the destination before a final shot datagram arrives. However, UDP is
used in many online games, because it is much faster than the other
option, TCP. TCP is slower because it is reliable and the packets
arrive in order (if packets arrive in the wrong order, TCP will buffer
the data that it out of order until it can be sent reliably again.) We
are in luck, because to my knowledge, SDL_Net supports both TCP and
UDP.

Other things to consider is what license it would be under (I
recommended the GPL), and what kind of versioning software will be
used (I recommend subversion).

Another thing I really like about this project is that it is open
source. Assuming you go the .NET route, I'm sure there are quite a few
developers who would be interested in improving and helping to get the
engine run well. C# is a really great language, and I am definitely
excited about this project.

Re: [Audyssey] RS Monopoly

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Jorge,
We are in the process of switching the Monopoly code to comply with a
protocol we have created. This re-write in the code has required us to
shut off user registration until we are finished, and at that time, we
will release a new client capable of playing Monopoly, Uno, and future
games. I suggest you check out the most recent blog post, at
http://rsgames.wordpress.com/ to learn more.

Re: [Audyssey] rs client/hope program

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Jennifer,
Try creating an empty text file in %appdata%\ZGP\errors.log

To do this, open up a Run dialog (press the Windows key and R). Then
navigate to the folder ZGP, open it, and create a file named
errors.log there.


Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] RSGames Client

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Damien,
I don't really use MSN much anymore, and if you emailed my personal
email/RS Games Support I didn't get either of them. Admin chats are
mainly for people to provide feedback to use in real-time, if we
aren't online at the the time they are sent, we don't usually read
them which is why emailing RS Games Support is usually your best
option.

1) About your Monopoly bug, this indeed is an issue we are looking into.
2) About the invalid choice issue when downloading sounds, it will be
fixed in our next release to the client.
3) Fixing the boards is definitely on our to-do list.

All of your issues are server-side problems that need to, and will be fixed.
Thanks!

[Audyssey] Battleship / New Client Release

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Gamers,

I'm happy to say that version 1.3 of the RS Games Client has been
released! We've also released a brand new title, RS Games Battleship!
Version 1.3 includes the following new features:
-Added first letter navigation in menus. Pressing a letter will move
you to the first option starting with that letter. Pressing it again
will move you to the next option. If there is only one option starting
with a particular letter, it will automatically be selected. For
example, in Uno, you can now press D to draw a card, since this is the
only option in that menu starting with the letter D. Note that first
letter navaigation takes precedence over hotkeys.
-Added in Auto Update on all platforms. This allows the client to
update to a new version automatically when it is released. After
updating, the client will automatically start on Windows and Mac, but
due to the varying environments of Linux, you will need to start the
Linux version manually after an update.
- Your sound volume preferences will now automatically be saved.

This is a mandatory update, meaning you must download the new client
to continue playing. Head over to www.rsgames.org to download the
update. To read the Battleship documentation, visit
www.zanosoft.net/zgp/doc/battleship.html

I hope you enjoy this new release.

Hi,
Yesterday, we uploaded a new setup file that lets you run the program
without administrator privileges. If you, or anyone you know was
having issues in getting the client to run, please tell them to go to
www.rsgames.org and download a new copy.

Thanks.

[Audyssey] New Games: Farkle and Rummy!

[Ryan Smith]

This message was sent out to our discussion list last night:
Hello Gamers,
Exactly 3 years ago, December 20th, 2009, RS Games released Monopoly. The
free game only ran on Windows, and was our sole multiplayer title. What
originally started out as a fun project turned into a dream come true on
this date. We received a heap of feedback from players, extolling our work,
as well as asking for more games. Therefore, several months later, we
released Uno, and the RS Games Client which currently powers our
multiplayer platform. Unlike Monopoly, this piece of software runs on three
common operating systems, Mac, Windows, and Linux. It also allows us to
release new games without people having to go to a website and download new
software.
In celebration of our first anniversary, on December 20th, 2010, we added
Yahtzee as our third title. It is one of the more popular games on the
server, and based on the comments from many players, we know hours of fun
have been spent playing it.
In celebration  of our second anniversary, December 20th, 2011, we released
Apples to Apples. It is a really fun game that we know our players are
enjoying. To celebrate the third anniversary of RS Games, we are releasing
two new games, the classic dice game Farkle and the card game Rummy! Our
testers have had an inordinate amount of fun playing these games, and I'm
confident all of you will too.
If you already have the client installed, all you need to do is login to
start playing. If not, head over to www.rsgames.org to join in the fun, for
free.
Thank you.

[Audyssey] Cross-Platform Monopoly and Uno!

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Gamers,
We have been working hard the past few months, and we are proud to
present to you a brand new client capable of playing Monopoly, Uno,
and any other future multiplayer card and board games we create. Some
of the new features of the RS Games Client include the ability to be
played on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, no more dependencies on the
Windows version, automatic sound downloading (when we release a new
game, simply select the game from the menu, and you'll be playing in
no time without any work on your part), NVDA support, and much more!

Existing Monopoly users can simply download the new client, and login
with their Monopoly credentials to access both Monopoly and Uno. New
users can easily register, and gain access to both games as well.

We have also re-written the web client from scratch, featuring a brand
new interface and many bug fixes. To check out the RS Games Client,
visit www.rsgames.co.nr, and select either Monopoly or Uno.

Thank you.
-Ryan
Head of RS Games

Re: [Audyssey] RSG Client woes under Linux

Hi Zachary,
What version of Python do you have installed? You can find this out by
going into a terminal, typing python, and viewing the first line.
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] RSG Client woes under Linux

Hi Zachary,
You will need to use pacman to upgrade to 2.6.6, as 2.6.5 will not
work. PyGame 1.9.1 should work enough.
Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] Cross-Platform Monopoly and Uno!

[Ryan Smith]

Hi William,
This is because the speech output library we use interacts with the
NSSpeechSynthesizer rather than VoiceOver itself. We plan to fix this
in the next patch, by using the excellent output library used in
Qwitter rather than Pyttsx.
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Blackjack 1.0 Released!

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Thomas
Nice job with this! I just won a round on level 2. I'm glad you've
found Python as useful as I have. One suggestion though. I've noticed
you document your Python methods like this:
#Function: dealer_draw().
#Description: Draws a new card for the dealer.

Most Python programmers document their code with a DocString.  For example:

def buildConnectionString(params):
"""Build a connection string from a dictionary of parameters.

Returns string."""

Triple-quotes allow more than one line, if you simply want one line,
use one quote (like any string). There are a few reasons why you may
want to use DocStrings. First off, you can access it by using the
.__doc__ property. For example: buildConnectionString.__doc__.
Here is a more useful example:
from pydoc import help
help(buildConnectionString)
Help on function buildConnectionString in module __main__:

buildConnectionString(params)
Build a connection string from a dictionary of parameters.

Returns string.

While it probably isn't worth the time to change your code to use
DocStrings, it might be useful to know in the future, especially if
people are looking to learn from it.
Thanks.
-Ryan

[Audyssey] RS Games Client 1.2 Patch

[Ryan Smith]

Hi Gamers,

We are excited to announce the release of version 1.2 of the RS Games
Client. This is a bugfix patch that fixes some of the major bugs that people
have been reporting. The following changes have been made in this version:

- Removed VoiceOver as it was buggy, replaced with NSSpeechSynthesizer.
- Mac Users can adjust the rate with Command+Right (speed up), or
Command+Left
 (speed down).
- Using a more stable networking library. This fixes many bugs, such as
manage
 assets in Monopoly.
- If you are missing a sound, it will automatically be re-downloaded on your
 next login. This fixes the key errors people were experiencing.

To download the new patch, go to www.rsgames.co.nr. Please update as soon as
possible to take advantage of the bugfixes. We will invalidate the old
version sometime soon so it will no longer work. Additionally, please
uninstall all older versions from your computer.
Thanks!

[Audyssey] My Game- Guess the Voice by: Ryan Smith Head of RS Games

[Ryan Smith]

Hello, I see that you have problems with the Guess the Voice Game. I was 
asked to program it  and though it would  be easy, so I did. All issues 
will be fixed in the final release of Guess the Voice. I am sorry, my 
programming skills are only up to an extent, I am only 12 years old. I 
expect to have it ported into VB 6 soon. As I said, everything will be 
fixed. The only reason for not wanting to get it in the future is 
because you don't like guessing voices! You can download it from my site 
http://rsgames.mb.com  Also, I added something this morning and I am 
sorry if I put guess the numbers because that was stuck in my head. What 
I added is a I
beat an RS Games Game. When you win, there is a code, you must email me 
that code as well as your name, and I will post your name on the boards. 
Please discuss about RS Games on my forum/list which can be found on my 
site. I am open to suggestions or improvements. Thank You and Happy Gaming!

[Audyssey] RS Games site and more RS Games important news!

[Ryan Smith]

 From the Computer of RS Games
Hello,
I would like to inform all that my site is down. I am looking for a more 
reliable host, but they do not accept registrations. Since I am in 
school now and get homework I will have less time to do develop, web 
design and everything else related to RS Games. I hope there server will 
be up soon. If this problem last too many days, I will switch to a 
temporary host. If you remember my old free host, freehostia, I may 
update that if mb is down past a week. I will let you know about 
future updates such as switching to a new host or the server is down.  
If you would like to get my Type it in and let sapi 5 say it app, you 
can contact me through the RS Games email.Or, you can wait. Also, I will 
be updating to the final release of Guess the Voice soon. I decided to 
forget all the betas and just jump. Some new features I expect is, 
self-voicing. If you get wrong answers, you will keep going. At the end 
it will tell you how many you got right. Also, if you win the game, you 
are to email the code to RS Games email along with your name so I can 
add that to the Winners Scoreboard.  Keep in mind this is version 1, so 
its stable. I will have future updates with features *possibly*! If you 
have any additional features, please comment on them. And, to Alex, your 
script has nothing to do with mine. It is completely different in Visual 
Basic as any programmer will know. I don't steal scripts, I am sure we 
all know who does or who was prosecuted at least. Also, remember that I 
will be learning at a fast pace, because I read all the time. Okay?
From,
Ryan Smith, Head of RS Games!

Re: [Audyssey] bug in shoot dame

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Thank You Shaun, I probably didn't put the minigame in the Inno
Installation, and I'm sorry about the boss, as I said, we are trying to make
SDM as hard as possible in our next beta, including  a real difficult boss.
There will be different enemies, and random bioweapons and bombs thrown at
you during the game that bounces you back to Level 1, and difficult enemies
that require several hits in little time. We have an okay basic game
"engine"  established, now we're working on making this game difficult.

Thank You

From,
Ryan Smith

Re: [Audyssey] This is Ridiculous

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Well Tom Ward is as Admin and almost all, if not all, his replies are
extremely useful, and contain alot of information. I agree with Shadow on
one part, a separate list/email that tells the users of a game release,
rather then detailed game discussion, would be helpful to users who just
want to play the games, and thats the end of it.

[Audyssey] SDM Sounds/Ideas

[Ryan Smith]

Hi All,
I was amazed that almost three people have gotten perfect scores of 400.
There is another score of a person wise enough to post a curse word, which I
edited. We will be adding some kind of logging system so we can ban users
who wish to curse on the score boards. If you don't want to use your name,
put Anon. or something indicating you ARE a human being and you don't wish
to use your name. Besides all that, I figured SDM was supposed to be
straightforward and rather simple, but not to the point where people are
getting perfect scores. So I though and though last night about how I could
make this game more difficult, so here are the possibilities, feel free to
change/edit what you feel is better:
- A Sidescroller at the end of the game, before the boss.
Explanation: So, once you beat the game, you will be faced with a small side
scroller to get to the bosses "laire" (you must face flame throwers, and all
kinds of thing) where you are to hit a switch secretly hidden by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation in case anything were to happen to you. That switch
releases Anthrax, and makes the boss very weak. You then dodge him, and he
dies from Anthrax bacteria. You are not vulnerable to Anthrax, as a
"pretend" vaccination against this diseases was directly given to you by the
FBI. You have 4:00 Minutes to complete it. At the end, the boss will be too
weak from Anthrax when you confront him, all you have to do is dodge his
semi-automatic rifle.
- More Levels
Explanation: 100 Levels, the last 20 at random timers that obviously fit.
- More Enemies
Explanation: Enemies that require more than one hit. Different levels have
more difficult enemies that require 1-3 hits in the SAME number of time, so
you better be quick about it.

Well, I hope you got some kind of idea what beta 4 has in stock for
us...please give me some feedback
The Sounds!
As you noticed my sounds aren't the best, although the landing sound Andy
made. If you have any sounds for staircases, different types of weapons
being launched at you, etc, please just reply off-list.

Thank You Very Much

Re: [Audyssey] piracy of judgment day

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
I'll admit that I used to crack audio games about when I first came into the
community, probably about a year ago, and I was actually stupid enough to
believe, oh free, I'll take it. Then people are like its wrong, and I then
learned it was cracking, and devs were trying to make money, so I stopped
and removed it.. Also I think using Active Lock is part of the problem :)!
Also, I do feel that another method other then credit cards should be used,
as about half of this community are kids and don't feel like bothering there
parents. Sorry to get a little O/T there guys.

Hi,
It's not your fault, it's my fault, there is a bug, I am still figuring it
out, however I have been a little slow on it becuase, your score posts
anyway, even though it says it doesn't. This has happened many times yup

Re: [Audyssey] piracy of judgment day

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
No there isn't really a particular reason, I haven't really though about it
much. And no I cracked because, well I didn't know much about audiogames,
and I know this sounds non-truthful, so people who were in my contact list,
who will remain un-named, kept sending me things, so I just took them. I
assumed it was free, until later I joined the AG-Forum and learned about the
websites, and I learned about software piracy, and was just like, let's
remove these things, they are not right first of all, and its well illegal.
And, so I really only cracked 1 game, the rest other people just sent, or
others cracked it on the computer, through all kinds of people, not
neccesarily andy. I decided to then remove the crack, but still accept them
from people to learn about a cracker (not run), specifically how it was
cracked. The only thing I ever cracked was I believe something from L-Works
but it was removed. To this day I still do that, and am trying to map out a
system that is extremely difficult to crack. Though, I find that Che's
anti-piracy system is very effective, through all kinds of stories. So, I
will consider a Pay Pal account

[Audyssey] Game Cheating Software Question....

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Not that I am into game cheating much, or at all really, I was wondering if
someone could write a list of popular game cheating software that the
ag-community uses? It will be for SDM as a way to prevent users in Unlimited
Mode from posting scores, although I am aware of tricks, I will do my best
to ensure no cheating software will be used when posting at all, but more so
in Unlimited Mode.

Thank You.

Re: [Audyssey] Acefire 1.0 now released!

Hey,
I believe this was mentioned before, but the simple, crappy 8 bit sounds and
graphic games are at least 30$ each, and takes like a month with an entire
company. Damien used professional sounds, and lots of his time on this game,
and I feel 35 was a decent price, however lower is just better! :)

unless you have a suggestion of what to add. It takes a long time to code

Hi,
Have some decency people! All those features COST MONEY, the MUSIC COSTS
MONEY, you are entitled to your opinion, but I am asking to keep it to
yourself, but I can't take any action so... try writing over 20 thousand
lines of code, paying loads of money for libraries, and everything else, it
costs, alot. No ones forcing you to buy it, so don't. If you can't do
something much better, you are in no position to complain, I am entitled to
my opinion like everyone else.

Re: [Audyssey] Acefire price

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
I do get your point about the monopoly game Nicol, but a monopoly game isn't
as hard as ace fire, it make not seem that way, but I can guarantee it.
ACEFire uses multi-player support, which is difficult, and like I said, all
those libraries and sounds, cost money, and Jims monopoly, which is still
very good, does not necessarily have all of those..you still of course have
all of your opinions, and this is mine.

Thank You

Hi,
Nicol, there is no law for charging too much. He did not con you at all, you
pay you get it, if you are not happy, then that is unfortunately your issue
to deal with privately. George Bush doesn't care about the audiogame
community, heck, he doesn't care about America. I am positive Raul and
Thomas would agree when I say this topic needs to be closed. "Hi Presiedent
Bush, someones charging to much! Help Me!" That's kind of funny, but nicol,
I believe that was a bit extreme there, and threatening the dev's is going
to get you nowhere.

If you feel 20 is too much, than just don't buy it, Damien will not be
taking anything down, the price stands, thats that. Honestly, I think 20
bucks is a low price considering all the work Damien put into this. Please
stop. Posting Final Warnings is making YOU the one who is harrasing. Let's
move on Nicol...it's not life its a high-quality game.

Re: [Audyssey] I am really worried, we could lose another game dev again

Hi,
I did the same thing Stephen, I almost closed RS Games because of the
complaints, I did close it, and came back several days later thinking no one
said why they hated GSV, but of course I have received few complaints on
SDM, other then the constructive criticism. I no longer listen to flames, or
anything like that. You can block them damien... And know GSV is going
open-source, so it turned into a learning project for others of what not to
do :)!

And don't leave Damien, they most likely complained just for you to lower
the price...
And it wasn't like people didn't like a particular thing, they hated every

Re: [Audyssey] I am really worried, we could lose another game dev again

[Ryan Smith]

Hi,
Yeah Damien just take some days to yourself, you made a good game, and be
proud of it.  Just add it to blocked users, or whatever you use... I went
through the same thing, flaming emails, they are all blocked, and if they
need support, thats there problem now, there blocked and thats final.
ThunderBird is great, I was actually considering writing an autoit script
for general POP to block any words, which includes email. I based it on a
since this community is so small, that if 2 people hate it, everyone else
does. Thats not true.  Those 2 specific people will always be in my mind,
and I forgive them, but it's not forgive without forget :). I've been in
this community for about a year, and have seen black-hats, crackers, mean
people, the whole lot, and I never spoke to them again. There blocked. I
mean, I probably can list those people right now, and they just complained
on gsv, which cost them nothing... So what I'm trying to say is, just keep
making games, we're here for you, and some people, who feel using aggressive
and threatening messages will solve the problem deserve to get there
messages moderated. There's a way to express anger, and publically isn't
necessarily the answer.
I thank you.
