Re: Java Accessibility Query regarding Custom States
Re: Java Accessibility Query regarding Custom States @1 I tried to do the same thing, and the conclusion I reached was the same as you, the states are hardcoded into NVDA, and if you create a new one it will ignore it because it can't translate it to a NVDA state, even though it's being sent from the access bridge.If you want to fix it with a state, you'll need to use a state that NVDA can translate, you can see a list of translatable states on this file https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/blob/m … _init__.pyOn this file there's a variable JABStatesToNVDAStates that contains the translatable states.Hope it helps a bit.

Re: Extended PEMDAS.
You can also use eval to evaluate an _expression_, but please validate your input to see if it contains only numbers because if you're not careful it can run untrusted code.For example:>>> eval('2 * 3')6

Re: trying to solidify my understanding of coding concepts, and failing
Re: trying to solidify my understanding of coding concepts, and failing @5 Think the main body of the player class is the same idea as the top of your script, you can put only variables on it. To put instructions, you need functions, like "main" or the player's constructor.If you want to load the footsteps on the player class, you're right, you need the constructor, since you can put instructions only in a function.

Re: trying to solidify my understanding of coding concepts, and failing
Re: trying to solidify my understanding of coding concepts, and failing
Yes, this example is a good way to apply the concepts you learned abouthandles. I'll make a example, let me know if you understood it, or if you became confused so I can explain it another way.In this example, we'll create a function to play a random footstep. Why we'll use handles? Because if we use normal variables, each time we reference the footstep on the function, BGT will make a copy of the sound we referenced. And with a handle, you can prevent this copy and work with the original variable.On the top of your script, you'd create a variable for each footstep:sound step_1, step_2, step_3;In your main function, you'll load each step sound separately, and in your move function, you could do something like this:class player {void move() { sound @step_sound; int r; // Generate a random number to select which step you want to play r = random(1, 3); if (r == 1) @step_sound = @step_1; else if (r == 2) @step_sound = step_2; else @step_sound = @step_3; step_sound.play(); // Equivalent to step_1.play() or the others, since the andle is a reference to the step chosen}Hope it helps a bit.Edit: another thing you could ask is why I didn't put step_1.play(), step_2.play() and step_3.play() on the ifs. This could work, but if you add more code for the steps, you'd need to copy the code in 3 places. With the handle, you can have it in a single place.

Re: The Synthizer Thread You can check the OGG support status on this issue ( https://github.com/synthizer/synthizer/issues/37 ), where I'm tracking it.In summary, the OGG decoder is implemented, but at the moment though stb_vorbis has a bug that makes it unable to load some files.

Re: C input?
Re: C input?
@1 If you don't know how to use pointers yet you can use a global variable, as your problem is returning 2 values and in the getIntInput function return if scanf succeeded or not, like this:Before the main function:int got_number;And after all the other functions:/* Returns 0 if your number couldn't be read or 1 if it was read correctly. */int getIntInput() { char term; printf("Enter your number."); if(scanf("%d%c", _number, ) != 2 || term != '\n') { return 0; /* scanf failed */ } else { return 1; /* Number was read correctly */ }}Now, you could use your function as follows:if (getIntInput() && got_number == 1) /* User entered the numbercorrectly and it was 1 */Hope it helps and it makes sense for you.

Getting started developing FAQ
Getting started developing FAQ I often see people in this forum wanting to learn to code and don't knowing how to start, so I decided to create this topic to centralize the information we have.For this topic, I researched in actual topics what advice people gave and tried to compile the most recent of it here. Feel free to add or edit things.1.

Re: Python, input, and breaking the program
Re: Python, input, and breaking the program Here is a function that uses only Pygame and gets the input from the game window.The downside of this approach is that you'll need to implement the cursor keys yourself, but it works with capital letters and accents.def pygame_get_input(): result = [] done = False while not done: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: if event.key == pygame.K_BACKSPACE: # Delete letter result = result[:-1] elif event.key == pygame.K_RETURN: # User entered all the text done = True break elif hasattr(event, "unicode"): # User tiped a letter result.append(event.unicode) pygame.time.wait(10) return "".join(result) URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/427931/#p427931 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Python, if statements, and complexity?
Re: Python, if statements, and complexity? @5 You can always shorten them by splitting the code in functions or by using the data structures provided with the language, at the same time, your code becomes more maintainable because if you want to change a specific part of theprogram you can just change the function that does it and not worry about the if statements that use that part.

Re: Python, if statements, and complexity?
Re: Python, if statements, and complexity?
For the first example, I would define a function (note: i didn't test the code): def is_at_edge_of(self, object): return self.x==object.x-1 or self.x==object.x+1Or even better, you could have a function that calculates distancesfrom the two objects:def distance(self, object): return abs(object.x - self.x)Then your function could be: def is_at_edge_of(self, object): return self.distance(object) == 1In both cases, your if statement will become:if not player.jumping and player.is_at_edge_of(pit): step.play() #Some random named sound variableFor the second example, I would define a dictionary like this:contrary_directions = {"north": "south", "east": "west", "south": "north", "west": "east"}Then, your if statement would become simpler:if playerdir != contrary_directions[attackdir]: passHope it helps a bit.

Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python
Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python In Python, when you run the "my_fun" function, the variables are createdinside the function.When the function returns or when it ends, Python removes thevariables that are inside the function and restores thevariables that are declared outside it.This is called a namescope (the function has a namescope which theirvariables are declared, and the script has another).When you tipe x in the interpreter, you are referencing the x of thescript namescope because the function has already ended.Edit: to modify a variable inside a function, declare it as global so itcan be seen on the script namescope.

Re: Getting started in python game development I have faced the same problem using Pygame and Pygame.mixer.You can fix it by putting this line, before the pygame.init() call:pygame.mixer.pre_init(44100, -16, 2, 1024)This will decrease the buffer size that pygame allocates for each sound and will fix the lag.

Re: Program disasembler?
Re: Program disasembler? If you use an interpreted language to write your program, decompilation might be possible.Otherwise, you'll only be hable to get the assembled code (processorinstructions) or some form of that, that resembles your program's sourcecode, but made to get read by a computer.Generaly, when you compile your code, compilers tend to optimize it to make it run faster.So, for example, if your code does a multiplication, sometimes you'll get a byteshift instruction instead of the multiplication because the byte shift is faster.Therefore, the best way, if you use a compiled language, is to make backups of your program.If you use an interpreted language, depending on the language you might belucky and find a decompiler for it.Hope it helps.

Re: Tone indication for walls on a 2d map, my working solution for BGT.
Hello.I have some suggestions for your script.You can reduce a lot of code doing a function to scan the map using xand y increments, like this:vector scan_map(int x_incr, int y_incr){int future_x;int future_y;for(int future_x=player_x, future_y=player_y; (future_x{// Avoid index out of bounds error surprise.if(future_x<0 or future_y<0){break;}// Ask for wall.if(map[future_x][future_y]==1){// If wall is found, return the vector of its x and y coordinatesreturn vector(future_x, future_y);break;}else{// If there's no wall, continue scanning.continue;}// No wallreturn vector(-1, -1);}void verify_panning(vector position, sound @handle){if (position.x == -1 and position.y == -1)return;position_sound_2d(handl
e, player_x, player_y, position.x, position.y, 8, 8);}void play_wall_tones() // call this function inside your game loop{left_wall_position=scan_map(-1, 0);right_wall_position=scan_map(1, 0);behind_wall_position=scan_map(0, -1);ahead_wall_position=scan_map(0, 1);verify_panning(left_wall_position, sound_wall_left);verify_panning(right_wall_position, sound_wall_right);verify_panning(behind_wall_position, sound_wall_behind);verify_panning(bahead_wall_position, sound_wall_ahead);}Of course, this code is not complete. I've put only the details wich I think could be improved.And if you want, with this implementation, you could check wallsdiagonally.I learned with programming, the less you repeat code and when you makemore abstract generalizations, for example object oriented programming,the code becomes more maintainable in the long run.

Re: trigonometry in audio games, how do I apply the concept?
Re: trigonometry in audio games, how do I apply the concept? Hello.Trigonometry is used to get the measures of the values to sum andsubtract in the game's coordinates.For trig to work properly you need to convert the angle in degree format to radians.The radians are numbers based from the pi, for example, 2 * pi is 360degrees, pi / 2 is 90 degrees and so on.In a basic form, you use the sine of the angle the player is facing toget the increment for the x axis.The cossine is used to get the increment for the y axis.I'm still learning this, so my explanation is a bit basic, but hope this helps.

Re: Help with movement on Map in Python
Re: Help with movement on Map in Python Hello.I think that the problem is that your character is moving everyiteration of the loop.To solve this, you could try something like that inside your movingcode:if pygame.time.get_ticks() >= move_timer: # Move code goes here move_timer = pygame.time.get_ticks() + 100 # 100MS of delay to move againAbout your previous question, you can use the pygame.time.wait functionto make the computer spend less resources while your loop is running,like that: def run(self): while self.exitGame == False: self.mapKeys() pygame.time.wait(10)In this way, when the computer finishes every iteration, it will pause 10ms before going to the next one.I think with these adjustments you can try to use the pygame.event.get()function that returns the events immediately to your program.

Re: Is their a way to handle a traceback in a multi threaded python app
Re: Is their a way to handle a traceback in a multi threaded python app Well, when I tested, it worked on while loops.The thing is, if you put the try / except block in a wrong place of your program, especially if it's multithreaded, it can break the program's control flow quite easily.I think, in these cases, that you could wrap the functions that have the most probability of generating errors in the try / except blocks and move then inside of the while loop. In this way, the while loop can keep running if the wrapped code raises an error.

Re: Is their a way to handle a traceback in a multi threaded python app
Re: Is their a way to handle a traceback in a multi threaded python app Hello.There are try / except blocks.You can use them like as follows:try: # Code that can potentially produce errorsexcept: # Rescue codeYou can use except with some exception names like TypeError, ValueError,etc, like this:try: # Code that can potentially produce errorsexcept ValueError: # Catch ValueErrorsThe traceback module might be useful, as it can print a traceback to a file.

Re: Python or PureBasic
Re: Python or PureBasic If you don't like complexity it will be hard to create a 3d shooter.These types of games require a high knowledge of math for creatingeven the most basic things.A side scroller is easier, but even with that, you'll need to write thegame's engine and the game itself.Purebasic, Python and BGT only provide the building blocks for doing that.The rest you need to code with the tools that the language provides.

Re: Python or PureBasic
Re: Python or PureBasic Hello.I think that the best language for writing audio games is BGT.Why? It generates very small executables, it contains all the functionsyou'll need out-of-the-box and is simple to learn.Python and PureBasic, on another hand, are general-purpose programming languages.This means that you can create anything you want with them, but they contain only the basic tools to code the applications.I think that you should try to code some offline games first.Not will They give you more experience in writing code, with them you'lllearn the architecture of an audiogame and become proficient with the language you chose.And most importantly, don't worry if you make misstakes. They are thebest ways to learn and improve.Of course, that is only my oppinion.While BGT is good for audiogame programming, Python and Purebasic can begood to create very wide types of applications.Hope this helps.

Re: problem with pyinstaller
Re: problem with pyinstaller Hello.You could try bb-freeze or cx_freeze to see if they work.If they don't work, you could try to create a installer script toinstall the dependencies on the user's system (Linux distros).I think that is the recommended approach, because Linux binaries are notreliable because of the package manager and shared libraries.Most Linux distros already come with Python installed, so you coulddistribute only the pyc files and most likely it will work.

Re: Crap ton of free audio samples, sound fonts Hello.I use VirtualMidiSynth without problems.You just add soundfonts to it's list and you are ready to go, justselect the instrument on the sequencer and play.By the way, anyone knows if there exists an accessible way of creating soundfonts? Iwant to try my hands at sampling, but I've not found still an accessibleprogram to do it.

Re: Can someone help me, please? Hello.Here is the reference manual of the Python standard library, wich documents allbuilt-in functions and library modules available.http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/You can find it in the python documentation wich comes with the installer too.Hope this helps.

Re: 2D Framework released
Re: 2D Framework released Hello.I think I could try implementing it in Python too.The thing with Python is that I cant get a pan system like BGT workingin Pygame, and OpenAL seems very advanced to me.I think someone posted a script to convert BGT pan values to Pygame onesbut I couldnt find it.Anyways, if someone knows the formulas Ill be very grateful, because I triedvarious ways of doing it but they failed.

2D Framework released
2D Framework released Hello.After some time of work, Im happy to announce the 2D Framework!Since I think most people here code in BGT, Ive done it with BGT.This is a template game you can build your game in.It implements a basic map representation, basic object handling andbasic movement code.That is, the basics of any 2D game.It includes some sounds from some audiogames but I think it shouldnt bea problem since this is an example.Ive done the code as simple as possible so you can figure things rightat looking at the source.If you want to test it before modifying it, launch framework.bgt.Do with it what you want, and, most importantly, enjoy.https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gata1zj4mihn … 4.zip?dl=1 URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=227954#p227954 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
