[Audyssey] Project of games translation in Brazil
Hi gamers! I and some brazilian friends, all blinds, are make a translation of the some games freeware available in internet, with approbe of the developpers and this mail is to inform our new homepage of this project that we has named of "Blind Games Brazil", and we make this service to make accessibility of these games, to a brazilian blinds, that most blinds not know the english language and because it can not play these games. The games of has translated are the Top Speed 2, Dark Destroyer, Showdown and The Last Crusade, and are available in our homepage www.audiogames.rg.com.br Please, we want suggestions of other good games, that are freeware, to make a translation to brazilian portuguese language. Our homepage is writed in a brazilian portuguese language and is constructing, because is the first version, is simple, but in some time, we want available many games to a brazilian blinds that if not exists this service, is impossible they have access of these games. Thanks for your attenction and want suggestions of other good games to translat.

Re: [Audyssey] light cars
Hi Nicol, Actually, one word. Practice, practice, practice... Practice makes perfect. Actually, I like light cars as is. It really is a good game and yes I agree from level 21 onwards it really gets challenging, but I am certain that was the developers intentions. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Game development was intro
Hi Rachel, O.K. I'll try and answer all your questions as best I can. First, Autoit is, well, a tool kit which you can script and design simple type games. I suppose it would be alright for amature game design, and if your goals are not very advanced. However, it is extremely limited in what it can do, and so I don't recommend it on the grounds it isn't a programming language and it is very limiting. Second, the only major difference between a audio game written by a blind developer and a vidio game written by sighted game companies is the lack of graphics. A Audio game developer such as myself writes games more-or-less exactly like Pro game developers do however I don't include any graphics in my games, and don't have to worry about any programming that is involved in rendering graphics to the screen, and making them look realistic. All I care about is rendering the audio instead. Third, Professional game companies such as Activision, Microsoft Game Studios, etc largely write games in C++. It is a great language, but most blind developers stay away from it do to the learning curve involved with it. So allot of blind developers use VB, C#.NET, and VB.NET. If we were interested in getting every ounce of hardware performence out of our computer to render 3D generated graphics C++ is by and large the language to use as it is good about not having breakup etc. With the .NET languages like C#.NET and VB.NET they run just a bit slower, and are not good for heavy vidio rendering However, since we are mainly using audio performence is less an issue for use, and in my own use of C#.NET and VB.NET they perform quite well for games that use only audio and no vidio. Forth, you asked about the differences between languages. Here is a quick run down of the common ones with pros and cons. 1. C++. It is a professional and industrial programming language used by every major game developer in the world.Good points: is portable across several different operating systems, good system performence, well documented, can be object oriented, well supported, etc. Negative points: is harder to learn, and takes allot of skill to use effectively. 2. VB, (Visual Basic 6.) Is widely used by blind developers. Good points: many find it easy to learn, the language is easy to understand, and many accessible games such as Jim Kichen's games were written in Visual Basic 6. Bad points: Microsoft is dropping support for Visual Basic 6 for VB.NET, the language is 8 years old, VB 6 compilers are harder to find, and is not fully object oriented. 3. C#.NET, (C-Sharp.) Is a brand new language from Microsoft. Good points: the language is much simplar than C++ to learn at the same time sharing many of the good qualities of C++, it is 100% object oriented which teaches you to think and code in that style of programming, it uses the .NET framework which is a great resource for doing many complex tasks, and do to it's object oriented design many tasks have been simplified by using the .NET framework. In fact, unlike many older languages C#.NET actually only has about 80 or 90 reserved key words to remember which makes the language quite small, and in fact it is really a higher language for interacting soully with the framework. Cause, C#.NET looks like C++ or Java once learned the skills from learning it will help you in learning other C-style languages like C++ or Java if you wished to go in to them. Finally, C#.NET apps in many cases can be compiled and run using the Linux and Mac OS .NET framework called mono. Leaving open a possability of making your program work on other operating systems besides Windows. Bad points: there are a few things bad about the language. The first is it is totally dependant on the version of the framework you are using to program with. If you want to redistribute your games, programs, you also must redistribute the framework as well in case they do not have it installed. If they have installed it via Windows update that end-user is probably alright, but most of the questions sent to U.S.A. Games have delt with people who didn't have the .NET framework or correct versions of the framework to properly install and play the games. Also if you plan to sell games you will need to purchase an obfuscation tool which encrypts your game binary files to keep hackers from cracking your games. 4. VB.NET, (Visual Basic .NET.) I don't know how many game developers are using it, but it certainly can be used to write games. It in some ways is a bit easier to learn and understand than C#.NET, and has a bit of a VB look and feel to it. However, most of it's features are allot like C#.NET. It is largely based on the use of the .NET framework, is 100% object oriented, and really has most of the same features listed for C#.NET. Bad points: there isn't allot of game documentation associated for VB.NET and Microsoft DirectX 9 while DirectX 9 will work with VB.NET offers no sample c

Re: [Audyssey] light cars

Re: [Audyssey] Game development was intro
Hi Thomas, as I said in my intro, i'm a total no-nothing when it comes to all this, at the moment anyway. Lol What are the differences in each of those program languages? And what exactly is audoit? and also, when exactly does it change from writing a visual game (for sighties) to the blindy games (audio)? In other words, Do both types of games use the same program languages to a point, or are they completely different from the start? Hope that makes sense.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Monopoly
Hi Rachel, Hmmm... It only seams that way at first. Once you figure out his major M.O. or strategy he is pretty easy to beat and trick. That is why Don suggests not buying properties. If you let things play out by not buying properties he is a bit tougher to take on. However, if you do trades or buyouts you can kill his Monopoly empire in a hurry. Also I don't know how good you are at playing Monopoly inn general the computer player will often times make fatal mistakes which you can take advantage of if you choose to do so, or recognise his mistakes.

[Audyssey] Game development was intro
Hi Damien, This list has been over this somewhat before but seriously I don't feel starting with autoit is the best suggestion. You may wonder why. Here is why I feel strongly against using autoit. First, off any seriously interested game developer worth a grain of sault must know and understand object oriented programming and design. All major programming languages weather we are talking C++, C#.NET, VB.NET, Java, etc work with objects, classes, etc... Sooner or later a new developer is going to have to learn it, and it might as be earlier than later. Second, autoit isn't a programming language per say so largely what you learn using it is basicly linked to autoit, and useless if you want to branch out and learn how to write a pro programming language, learn DirectX, and you wind up learning all over again from scratch. The time spent learning and working with autoit in my personal opinion is waisted. Third, learning a real full blown programming language for games has more flexable mainstream uses. You might be writing a couple of games, and decide you want to write your own mp3 player or wav recorder. You can do that, because you have a powerful language and compiler under your fingertips. Fourth, is similar to three, but this is to drive the point home. With autoit you are locked in to specific styles of games. With a full blown programming language you can do everything from text-based up to 3D audo FPS action games with online game play, etc... Fifth, while most PC owners still are largely MS Windows-based there is a slowly growing movement of sighted and blind folks who are now using alternative solutions such as Linux as well as FreeBSD, and some using Mac OS. With such a growing movement portability is likely going to become more important in the future. In fact, portability is one of the reasons I picked C#.NET as my development language for U.S.A. Games. At some point in the future I should be able to update my Sound.cs file with open source solutions like OpenAL, and run my games on Mac OS and Linux via Mono. I'm looking at porting STFC 2.0 to Linux right now, but have been busy with working on the core features of the game core to look in to portability. Anyway, why I am writing all this is I strongly feel a new developer needs to learn good coding and practices and skills right off rather than taking shortcuts like Autoit only to find out in the end it wasn't really valuable or worth the time. Granted we all have different interests, tastes, and aspirations, but what I would like to see is the accessible game comunity to stop lingering in Autoit, VB 6, etc and begin to really get in to more complex concepts and put out some cutting edge stuff. I'm not saying this is going to happen at once, but the existing developers have sadly stopped pushing the edge of cutting edge gaming. We've got so many Space Invader type clones, but only a couple of FPS games like Shades of Doom, and SOD is still really a one of a kind. GMA Tank Commander was really the first awesome simulation combat game, but again nothing else has really come close to comparison. Why is this? Well, as I said a game developer has to start somewhere, and starting with something truly useful such as C#.NET or VB.NET right off will break the new developer in to a real programming language. After that they'll have to practice with some simple games. Even a Space Invader Clone or two. However, after that he or she should be able to cut his or her teeth in to something more complex. Maybe a FPS game. After that work up to an online game. There is a progressiont to programming and a good developer is always learning, updating his or her skills, and is building more and more complex projects. Eventually, in 3 to 5 years he or she is ready to make games that are pretty advanced. All depending of course on the persons aptitude to learn. Not everyone can be a master, but many once they have a programming language well learned has the potential to go far. That potential is lost with substitutes like Autoit.

Re: [Audyssey] intro
Hi Thomas, Thanks heaps for all your help and the list welcome. Yes, I gathered from the archives you are one of the mods. I will check out your games as well. Incidently, I since found the board txt monopoly boards in the directory so figured it may be how you made them but was wondering where the jail, and chances were, *grin* I'll get cracking then and will try and make a board. :) Cheers! -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Monopoly
Hi Rachel! I am a Jim Kitchen's fan also, especially of his monopoly game. But, you have to avoid certain temptations with his game, like don't buy the computers properties. It is to easy to beath that way.

Re: [Audyssey] intro
oh rachel i never knew you wanted to develop. if you want any help i can help you. i provide a starter pack for developers who wish to start off simple using autoit - most people don't like that though - but i would recommend that before starting something like vb or something more complicated. you can visit my dev section at: http://x-sight.brandoncole.net/dev hth. regards, damien - Original Message - From: "Rachel D Keyte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 10:07 AM Subject: [Audyssey] intro > Hi gamers, > Just subscribed to this list.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Monopoly
the monopoly boards, you just write a text file with all the properties on each separate line how the board will go. and if i remember correctly you have to add monopolyboard to the start of your board name. hth. regards, damien - Original Message - From: "Rachel D Keyte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 10:21 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Monopoly > Hi again gang, > I was just reading the list archives and had forgotten to mention I > downloaded a lot of Jim Kitchen's sappy5 games the other day and seem > pretty addicted to monopoly at the moment.

Re: [Audyssey] intro
Hi Rachel, PS If you are interested in accessible game development you will need to learn a programming language such as C#.NET or VB.NET. Which you can download the free Express compilers for those languages at Microsoft.com. In addition you will need to learn about Microsoft DirectX which is a software development kit for game and multimedia developers which handles game graphics, audio, input devices, and more. You can order and read textbooks on programming languages and game development at http://safari.oreilly.com Hth. > Rachel D Keyte wrote: > >> Hi gamers, >> Just subscribed to this list.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Monopoly
Hi Rachel, Well, making your own Monopoly board is real simple. I happen to be the author of the Lord of the Rings board which ships with Monopoly versions 5 and 6. What you do is create a text file in Windows notepad, and list the properties in the proper order, and then save the file with a name like monopolyboardaustralia.txt. You don't however add the Go, chanse, and other fixed squares. When you are done copy it to your monopoly folder where the game is. Here is a copy of my Lord of the Rings bord so you can see how one is written. Bag End Farmer Maggots Farm Bill the pony Buckle Berry Ferry Winter Top Bree Ford of Bruinen Staff of Gandalf Rivendell Caradhras Asfaloth the horse Mines of Moria Lothlorien Falls of Rauros Gap of Rohan Helms Deep Edoras Brego the horse Fangorn Forest West Fold Staff of Saruman Isengard Osgiliath Pelennor Fields Minestirith Shadowfax the horse Barad Dur Mount doom Rachel D Keyte wrote: > Hi again gang, > I was just reading the list archives and had forgotten to mention I > downloaded a lot of Jim Kitchen's sappy5 games the other day and seem > pretty addicted to monopoly at the moment.

[Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's Monopoly
Hi again gang, I was just reading the list archives and had forgotten to mention I downloaded a lot of Jim Kitchen's sappy5 games the other day and seem pretty addicted to monopoly at the moment. The description says you can create your own board, but how does one go about this? I want to try and make an Australian board. (note I wrote to Jim privately but the email address was old I think).

[Audyssey] intro
Hi gamers, Just subscribed to this list. I actually attempted through email the other day but got nothing so am not really sure what happened there. so this time I went to the web page so it's all cool now! I'm from Melbourne australia, and a bit of an audio game addict (though I only own about six or seven titles to date). I have both the bavisoft ones, most BSC ones (hunter, Troopannum 1, 2, Pipe 1 and 2), Monkey business, Super Liam and the other day purchased superDeekout (from Dan Z games). I also would love to one day see if I could develop my own audio game though I don't know the first thing about it at the moment. anyway there's me! Lol Nice to meet you all! :) Cheers! :) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
