Anacreon is a game of stellar conquest and economic manipulation.  I 
have a tutorial for how to use screen readers with it, the link for 
which was posted earlier.

Sure, though the advantage of a pbem game vs an online is that the 
time commitment should be relatively small, as I find I can run turns 
in ten minutes, even for complex turns filled with doing stuff.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your suggestions, but as I said and you suggested, I think that 
you would be better off writing your own Monopoly game since you have a better 
head for business and writing artificial intelligence.

BFN

- Original Message -
Hi Jim,
Your Monopoly game has promise, but I think a few small corrections in 
the way the computer does business would go a long way to improving the 
game play.
For example, when I play and I start getting low on cash I stop buying 
property and houses until I build up a bit of a reserve. That way I 
don't go to much in to debt by morgadging all my properties.
However, the computer AI player will land on an expensive property, have 
limitted funds, and instead of trying to buy it later buys right then, 
and morgadges several properties to obtain the property. That is a very 
risky move, and can be a suicidal act in the end if the computer player 
doesn't know how to recover from that kind of move properly. Which it 
usually doesn't, and continues to lose money rather than continue 
picking up income.
Here is a clear example of a mistake the computer player makes. It 
usually tries to unmorgadge the most expensive properties, and start 
building there first. Good if you have the funds to do it, but bad if 
you have limited funds.
Well, in my last game the computer player had all the green properties, 
red, and light blue. All of them were morgadged and the computer just 
went around go. It unmorgadged a green property. However, a more 
financially sound investment might have been to unmorgadge the light 
blue, and then build a few houses on it in time so that there would be 
some income coming in besides the $14, and so on from the empty properties.
The income from the light blue properties could have been used to pull 
say the red out of debt, and once started building on that the player 
could have started in too the green.
What I am saying in monopoly as in real life building a monopoly takes 
starting from the least expensive investments and as you increase 
investments, build upwards until u reach the final goal.

I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

Re: [Audyssey] silent steele

Hi Sean,
That is because Audiogames.net doesn't have Silent Steel on the web 
site. Silent Steel was an accessible mainstream submarine game  from the 
mid 1990's or so.
 The only way you can get it is to buy used copies from a game store or 
a place like ebay.com.

Free games ain't going to have computer being smart as Oppenheimer.

Now, I again, will throw down the Gonelet and to find out how many want to 
put their purple money where there mouth is.

I would be happy to help start a Monopoly Tournament for the blind.  As many 
know that I run many pools and so I do have the software toput up a web page 
showing either brackets or most likey a standings format will be used.

How long the tournament would last would depend on the number of members in 
the tournament.

Like they do on For-the-Pople.com have Golf tourneys on a regular bases with 
Jim's game why not Monopoly.

The last time I had offer this idea, was a system where there would been a 
small Fee to play in the tournament of five bucks that way the winner of the 
tournament could be awarded something afterward.  Since the tournament could 
been as long as the football season, I thought it would only been right.
Now taking the bull by the horn again, since now there has been talk about 
how good one is beating up a simple bot in a game, lets get down to 
business..

For those who wants braging rights.  Where is what I will do.
Instead of having an open tournament that could last for months, but a close 
tournament.  Members will have to belong to FTP and only four players may be 
pick from this list.  I will then will may it know to the Talk list on the 
FTP email group where aother four players will be choosen by me.

The 8 members and myself will have a meeting on FTP to hammer out detail on 
the rules.  During this metting those who wish to join the tournament will 
be able to sign up.
With nobodie needing to pay any sort of fee to play, but a reasonable number

But first is first, and I need feedback on having a tournament.  And Again I 
will start with this email list to test the waters.  If I get a good enough 
response on who would want to participate then I will move to the next steps 
in the process in forming a league of members.

Lets create a new thread and have it called:

 Ok, I fiddled around and discovered that if you use the JFW custom
 highlight assign function, you can significantly improve Anacreon's
 response.  Now I have the scenario choice and ship-selection for
 fleet deployment working correctly and responding to arrow keys.  I
 suspect this will work as the black on light turquoise pattern seems
 to be the highlight colors of choice throughout the game.

 I'm sure that Window Eyes and other screen readers have a function
 for doing this.  Consult your screen reader documentation to figure
 out how to use it.  I had to use my mouse cursor and put it on the
 scenario I had highlighted, then go into the custom highlight assign
 manager and approve the selection.  Hey presto!  Menus are now
 speaking correctly.

  that you would be better off writing your own Monopoly game since you 
  have
  a better head for business and writing artificial intelligence.

  Hi Jim,
  Your Monopoly game has promise, but I think a few small corrections in
  the way the computer does business would go a long way to improving the
  game play.
  For example, when I play and I start getting low on cash I stop buying
  property and houses until I build up a bit of a reserve. That way I
  don't go to much in to debt by morgadging all my properties.
  However, the computer AI player will land on an expensive property, 
  have
  limitted funds, and instead of trying to buy it later buys right then,
  and morgadges several properties to obtain the property. That is a very
  risky move, and can be a suicidal act in the end if the computer player
  doesn't know how to recover from that kind of move properly. Which it
  usually doesn't, and continues to lose money rather than continue
  picking up income.
  Here is a clear example of a mistake the computer player makes. It
  usually tries to unmorgadge the most expensive properties, and start
  building there first. Good if you have the funds to do it, but bad if
  you have limited funds.
  Well, in my last game the 

[Audyssey] new computergame - Mississippi

2006-08-22 Thread Marco Steinebach - Mardy
Hallo to all,

I want to tell you about the newest Mardy-Production, a Computer-Game
called Mississippi.

Mississippi is a trading simulation which starts in 1770 in the wild west
of good old America. One day you receive a letter, that your uncle who's living
in America has died and bequeaths you his whole properties. That means 50
square meters of stockroom, 1000 $ and 50 grain. After that you decide to
jump at this chance. You leave your old home and emigrate to the new world.

You have to buy and sell your goods, build kontors in several towns, build
wagons, and earn money. If you are good enough at least you will be
president of America. But, as in real live, there are good and bad news,
some for yourself, some for all players. E.g. you can win a lot of money, or
all your wagons could not leave your HQ and so you won't get goods for this
round.

You can play the game with 5 persons. And, that's a very interesting fact,
you can play it with sighted people together.

There is much music, and most of the news are spoken. The game itself is not
self-voicing, so you need a screenreader to play it. We have tested it with
Window-Eyes and JAWS and it works properly. If not, feel free to ask, and we
will see what we can do in the code to solve problems.

The game is shareware, so you can test for yourself, if you will have fun
with the game.

You can download this game here:

Best regards
Marco

 Now that I have shown it's possible to play this game, would anyone
 be interested in a play-by-email game?  The number of players will
 influence choice of scenarios.  In an ideal world, I'd like to play
 one of the eight-player ones, but I'll settle for less if I can find
 some committed players.

Re: [Audyssey] cell phone games

2006-08-22 Thread Richard Sherman
Hello Gamers,
I too was looking to maybe play games on my cell phone. I currently have 
Cingular as my provider and one of their agents gave me some info so this is 
what I was told. I called the following:

disability department @ singular
Tel #: 1-866-241-6568

I talked to a representative there and this is what I found. Currently 
singular has only one model, the Nokia 6620, has a program called talks 
software from nuance corp.

For more info about this software can be found at:

nuance.com

According to what I was told you have to purchase the phone which will cost 
over $200 and then another $200 for the software. You can probably only get 
this phone thru their disability dept. You may be able to find the newer 
model phone Nokia 6680 (I think that is the correct model #) in a local 
store but cannot run the software. The phone comes preloaded with version 2 
which will not play games. you can go to the nuance website and download an 
update which will play some games. I would definitely give them a call for 
more information.

I am not sure what other carriers offer at this time.

Take care and happy gaming.

Re: [Audyssey] open tournaament was Jim's Monopoly

2006-08-22 Thread Charles Rivard
I can see how Monopoly could be played in an FTP room using a mike or even 
by sending a text message to the room so that everyone can hear it, 
providing their screen reader is able to detect and vocalize it.  But I 
cannot see any game of Monopoly being played through Email.  It would just 
take an impractical amount of time.  The game should be played in real time 
only, in my opinion.  I think that doing so in a voice chat room is the best 
way to go.

 Hi all,
 I guess this question would probably be better for Jim, but has anyone
 else noticed that the computer player makes huge purchasing mistakes and
 doesn't know how to play Monopoly properly?
 For example the computer player will land on an expensive green property
 but have $11 in cash. It will decide to purchase the property anyway and
 morgadge everything to get it. Yeah, that is legal for the game, but is
 usually a risky move that will end the player in losing the game soon. I
 suppose it would be ok for the computer to try it for absolutely
 necessary properties, but I notice it does it over and over again until
 it runs out of money and commits financial suicide.
 Another mistake I saw was when the computer player decided to unmorgadge
 something it started automaticly with the most expensive properties.
 Duh, if you are trying to get some houses up unmorgadge the less
 expensive properties, and get some houses on them, and once they bring
 in some cash then unmorgadge the moreexpensive properties and build on
 them.
 In short I hate to be critical, but the computer player for Monopoly 6
 doesn't have a head for business at all. I can see several moves ahead
 and see when the computer player is making massive blunders and this or
 that is going to end up in the computer losing.
 When the computer player makes such blunders I am master enough of
 computer and board based monopoly to capatilise on the computer's
 blunders and make huge proffets etc usually killing the computer even
 faster yet.

Hi.  no games are playable with talks as far as I know.  mobilespeak has a
game called mines I think and it is quite simple but ok to pass the time.
it's like mine sweeper.  there are another 3 or 4 games available but I
haven't got them yet so can't tell you exactly what they're like.  From
reading the descriptions on the code factory website one is like simon
called tone master.  Go to the code factory website and look for cell phone
games for more info.  I'm stil hoping that accessible games for cell phones
will be further developed one day.
