Re: [Audyssey] Sryth was: Q Nine Instructions
Well I'm not the GM, but if I know him he'll give any criticisms or whatnot that you send him their due consideration. To be quite frank I think the real problem is those people, few though they may be, who donate so much that they're able to buyevery high-end item Tallys' offers, then level up all skills and powers to 100 on the same go. Then they blow their way through what would otherwise be a reasonably challenging adventure and complain it's too easy. In his efforts to balance that out the GM may have gone a bit overboard. But if I know him at all I don't see him dismissing your comments out of hand if you did write him. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

And if you want you can donate extra money to the game, even if it happens to be ten dollars here and there. But again that's completely up to you. But you do get rewards for donating even ten dollars to the game. Some might regard this as the gamemaster being greedy but frankly I can totally understand. For one thing Sryth is actually his job, and I do mean that literally. And in any case he doesn't hold a virtual gun to your head and say donate or else! The decision is still completely up to you as to whether or not you do donate.

Re: [Audyssey] Run feature in games
Hi Thomas, I do think a feature of jumping farther in MOTA with control plus shift plus right arrow would be an interesting way to get over longer chasms or fires. Realistically running or jumping should cause more creatures to show up as you are making more noise then just walking. But jus like swinging your sword or dagger maybe running should reduce your strength. The advantage is that a torch will last more rooms if you run through them. But in reality, walking should show you more objects than when running as you have more time to examine everything. smiles, Phil --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Run feature in games
It makes more sense to me to have a keystroke to move faster than to slow down. It takes more, not less, energy to move faster. Therefore, it should take more, rather than less, keystrokes to do the same thing. And for a beginning gamer, this would also be better, as they would not have to use an extra keystroke to walk normally, which doesn't make sense, anyway. --- In God we trust! - Original Message - From: dark d...@xgam.org To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 9:39 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Run feature in games That's true damien, but that's what a walk slowly key would be for.

Re: [Audyssey] Run feature in games
Hi Phil, Yeah, but I've already reserved the control+shift+arrow commands for crawl left and crawl right. So I'm sort of running out of keyboard commands. However, since I'm rewriting the engine in C++ and will likely use SDL for the input core I should be able to use the alt key as well. Then I can move jump to alt freeing up control for something else. HTH --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Run feature in games
Hi Charles, Well, my experience with mainstream games has gotten me use to the idea of using a keyboard combo to walk and an arrow key to run. As I mentioned before in Tomb Raider the shift+arrow commands come in handy when dodging certain traps, but if it is a large room you will want to run. Especially, if you have a big ugly enemy after you. Grin Plus since I run everywhere in MOTA anyway it makes more sense to me to make that the keyboard default. It requires les work holding down two keys when all I have to hold is one. Freeing my left hand up for something else like the fire control. Charles Rivard wrote: It makes more sense to me to have a keystroke to move faster than to slow down. It takes more, not less, energy to move faster. Therefore, it should take more, rather than less, keystrokes to do the same thing. And for a beginning gamer, this would also be better, as they would not have to use an extra keystroke to walk normally, which doesn't make sense, anyway. --- In God we trust! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Looking for Lighttech Games
Hi Dark, Well, I'll check it out. Although, I'm mainly starting to put up the major titles first. As you say Numcrunch was their first game, and isn't exactly like Treasure Mania or anything that came afterwards. I always looked at Numcrunch as a practice game rather than a serious title.

[Audyssey] another game programming question
Okay, where can I find a good tutorial for the pygame language that will let me create something simple to start with? Will pygame transfer between windows mac platforms or do I need to make two sets of code for each platform? Which game types will this support: card games, board games and such? Also for more complicated games similar to SOD, MOTA, and Q9, will C#.net work or should I go with C++? I'm looking to try some sort of shooter adventure game in the future once I get the hang of game coding. Will either or both of the C languages work for both Windows and the Mac? How do I incorporate the Sappy TTS into games or is that sort of built in? If not, where can I find the code for sappy voices so that the game speaks? I read that full Python isn't transferable, but so does that mean that pygame isn't either? So, I'm just guessing here, but then it might be good to stick with C++ or C#.net instead of any version of python and stay away from java. Sorry, this email might be a bit confusing to people. I want to try something simpole first like a card, matching, board game or simple chase game. Then, I want to move up to something more complex with enemies and levels, weapons, and randomness so the game plays different each time you start it, that part would be similar to MOTA or Entoomed I guess. I want to find the code and no, I don't mind learning code of most any type as long as the code has some sort of explanation for what it does or where you might put each code. One more thing, can I just start learning code or is there something else I should start with first? Any good links for helpful tutorials and things will be appreciated. No, I'm not looking at java as it seems it isn't very accessible for screen readers and the full python language is all its own and not part of any of the C languages, so that might be out, but I don't know if that's true for pygame as well. So, my options seem to be C++ if its still supported since Microsoft came out with the C#.net, which is the other option. I also would like the games to speak for themselves, if possible and that seems to require some version and code for the Sappy TTS voices.

Re: [Audyssey] another game programming question
Chastity, Being a C++ developer I will perhaps not surprisingly, recommend C++. I have heard that C# has some major drawbacks, though Thomas could probably tell you better than myself about that part as he has been using .net but is now switching to C++. However I can tell you that C++ is definitely a good language to work with if you want to write advanced games, and it is also compatible with I should think literally every platform that exists as it compiles directly to assembly. As for Sapi speech, you would need to download the Sapi 5.1 SDK from Microsoft and learn from that, and probably some online tutorials also. Personally I am not a big fan of it for games, I use sound effects and prerecorded speech exclusively. Sapi has its advantages such as when reading unpredictable things, a user list in an online game is a good example, but for your average game you don't really need it. Do keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion and a lot of the other developers may or may not agree with me, but I feel that Sapi ruins a lot of the atmosphere in a game by sounding the way it does. Speech synthesizers are getting better every year but they're still nowhere near an actor. If you wish to start learning C++, I'd recommend visiting www.cplusplus.com. It is an excellent resource both for tutorials and reference material. Then, once you get the hang of the basics check out www.gamedeve.net, which offers a boatload of resources for the novis as well as the pro game developer.

No, I'm not looking at java as it seems it isn't very accessible for screen readers and the full python language is all its own and not part of any of the C languages, so that might be out, but I don't know if that's true for pygame as well. So, my options seem to be C++ if its still supported since Microsoft came out with the C#.net, which is the other option. I also would like the games to speak for themselves, if possible and that seems to require some version and code for the Sappy TTS voices.

[Audyssey] re-new game
Okay, I visited the site and if this is true, the game could be interesting. I did send these people an email asking some questions since its obvious they are from a different country and hey, that's fine, but there a lot of scams out there, so security is important. I have a really good expensive security program and it usually allerts me if I visit a site that has weird stuff and I got no message either on visiting the site or saving the site to a folder on my computer cause sometimes I'll get a warning message when saving too. However, if anyone has looked at the game links link at the bottom of their page, that lists tons of places that seem to have nothing to do with their company or accessible games at all. There is no company history, no copyright information, no security information, basically not much on the page at all. No, I didn't download anything and the price says for the full version 20, but what currency? This is all a bit odd, but I guess we'll see what happens.

[Audyssey] help finding games for deaf/mtion impaired
Okay, I know this is a gaming list and it focuses on the blind and if this is out of place, please let me know. Does anyone know of any games that are accessible for the deaf like with lots of graphics, colors, and captions? Is there any top 10/20 lists around or archives of such gaming sites? Also does anyone know if there are any games accessible by people with motion impairments like ones where single-switch, head-mouse, eye movements and such can be found? I think, as far as I know most text-based games like RPG and games from the if-archive are accessible by the deaf since those are all text based, but many motion impaired people need to use single-switch mouse or some sort of other device so typing isn't that easy.

[Audyssey] To Philip on C++
First, thanks for the links. I'm just wondering on the memory thing. I think I read somewhere that the programmer has to handle all the memory or something and code for that? Sorry, if I got that wrong. Also can I create a simple game with this first before trying more advanced things, just to get the hang of the code? As for Sappy, it does work in some games and I like that feature for some simple games, but I would like to use sound effects and stuff for more advanced games, though I've checked on prices for music and sounds and its really expensive on a fixed income.

We'll see though. Perhaps a good enough legitimacy test might be to look at their paypal link. It's possible to tell paypal scams fairly easily (I reported one to them a few weeks ago), by what information the site asks for, sinse paypal themselves will only ask for E-mail address and pasword, and if some sort of verification is needed such as your creddit card number they'll give you the last four digits streight off so you can check.

Re: [Audyssey] another game programming question
Hi Chastity, Wow! A lot of questions to answer here. I'll do my best to answer them so bare with me as I try to explain things as best as I can. As far as PyGame goes it is a cross-platform Python wrapper for the SDL API that works on Mac OS, Linux, and Windows. While I like the simplicity of PyGame and SDL it still leaves a lot to be desired. SDL only has very generic input device support for keyboards, joysticks, and mice so if you have a specific type of controller with advanced features like force feedback support you are out of luck. SDL_Mixer also has its drawbacks. A lot of features I use in DirectX such as changing the frequency/pitch of the sounds in real time isn't currently available with SDL. SDL_Mixer has a software mixer for doing virtual 3d audio, but it is not as realistic or as good as the hardware mixing you get with an API like OpenAL. As a result PyGame and SDL based games lack features that you could get with better game libraries such as DirectX, OpenAL, FMOD, etc. Which Python doesn't support to my knowledge. So I wouldn't really recommend Python if you wanted to create the next Shades of Doom or Mysteries of the Ancients. When it comes to C# .NET it certainly could be used to create a game like Q9, Mysteries of the Ancients, or Shades of Doom. In fact, Mysteries of the Ancients is currently written in C# .NET. However, it is unfortunately first and foremost a Windows based programming language. Although there is a cross-platform framework called Mono and cross-platform game API called SdlDotNet it is less than a perfect gaming solution. For one thing I've heard that Microsoft is trying to take the Mono project's developers to court over various copyright issues, and who knows how long C# .NET will continue to be supported on Mac OS and Linux. So legal issues would not make C# .NET a great solution right now for cross-platform development in my personal opinion. Even for strict Windows development I've had my fare share of problems with the language. First, Microsoft released a DirectX API for C# .NET, called Managed DirectX, which has a number of bugs and is no longer officially supported by Microsoft. Second, in 2007 Microsoft released an alternative to Managed DirectX called the XNA Framework which has some screen reader accessibility issues. The main accessibility problem is the tool they use for building soundbanks, setting up sound properties, etc isn't accessible for a totally blind user. Third, SdlDotNet has the same general limitations as PyGame. Last, there is the SlimDX API which is pretty good, but their documentation isn't as good as it could be. They often have you look things up in the official Microsoft documentation for C++ which means you need to understand C++ on some level to be able to red and fully understand the docs. There is another sound API, FMODEX, which is really good, but if you use it for commercial games it is quite expensive to license. Bottom line, C# might be a good language to know and use, but it doesn't have a lot of great choices for game programming libraries. There are a few other things about C# .NET you might want to be aware of before you consider using C# .NET for game programming. When you compile a C# .NET or VB .NET application using Visual Studio .NET it converts your source code to something called MSIL, the Microsoft Intermediate Language, which gets read and run by the .NET runtime. As a result your application can easily be hacked and cracked and reverse engineered by a skilled .NET developer. So if you ever decide to create commercial programs you will have to purchase an obfuscation tool to scramble the MSIL code so that only the framework can read it, but if someone tries to reverse engineer the game they get nothing but jumbled garbage in their favorite disassembler. From a commercial developer's perspective .NET based languages are something of a security risk. Personally, I have come to believe the one and only true option for game development is good old C++. Besides myself I know of several accessible game developers who also are now turning to C++. I know that Draconis Entertainment is developing a new game engine in C++ that runs on Mac and Windows, Philip's Q9 game was written in C++, and a couple of other game developers are now looking at C++ for their future games. I think several of our audio game developers have tried other things like visual Basic 6, C# .NET, Python, etc and found them lacking. The C++ language is beginning to take a foothold as the game language of choice for accessible game developers, and there are a number of reasons why. First, there are plenty of free C++ compilers and tools out there such as Visual C++ Express, MinGW, Cygwin, etc for example. As a result you don't really have a lot of start up costs. If you want to buy books and license certain libraries that is fine, but as a rule you can get decent tools and libraries for

Re: [Audyssey] To Philip on C++
Hi Chastity, Well, the primary difference with the .NET languages and a language like C++ in terms of memory management is that the .NET Framework has what we call a garbage collector. The garbage collector periodically destroyes unused objects etc to free up memory so it lets newer or lazy programmers get away with being a bit sloppy in terms of cleaning up after him or herself when programming. In C++ since it compiles directly to a native binary you don't have that safety net of a built in garbage collector to clean up after you. if you create a pointer or new object on the heap it is up to you to safely release it freeing up memory on your own. It isn't hard to do, but you have to take that extra step of releasing pointers and objects when they are no longer needed else you will have some major memory leaks. As far as writing games in C++. That's no problem. Back in college when I was taking C++ I wrote all kinds of simple text based games like Blackjack, Hangman, Guess the Number, whatever for practice. So you can do that sort of thing for practice before you get into more complicated games.

Re: [Audyssey] another game programming question
Hi Damien, Yeah, I know. C++ has several different data types including chars, strings, shorts, booleans, longs, double, floats, pointers, integers, plus several ones Microsoft created for handles, dword flags, results, etc. When coming from Visual Basic 6 or one of the .NET languages it can become quite intimidating and overwhelming. However, the reason C++ has so many different data types is a throwback to the days when programmers really had to worry about how many bytes they were storing in memory at any given point in time. If I remember shorts are 2 bytes, longs are 4 bytes, doubles are 8 bytes, etc. An unsigned integer can store any number from -32,768 to 32,767. A signed integer is something like 1 to 65,534. Anyway, C++ gives you the power really to manage the amount of data you are storing in memory and use the data type best suited for the data being stored. Anyone coming from .NET or a language like Visual Basic take one look at this and freak as they are holy unprepared for the scope of data types and degree of memory management available to them. We haven't even began to talk about pointers which Visual Basic 6 and the .NET languages don't even have. It's different and definitely more advanced programming. Smile Damien C.

Re: [Audyssey] To Philip on C++
Hi Thomas, Memory management is exactly the sort of thing I do find difficult. Like I say. When and how pointers and memory works is a mystery to me, even though people have attempted to explain it to me. Regards, Damien. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 12:03 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] To Philip on C++ Hi Chastity, Well, the primary difference with the .NET languages and a language like C++ in terms of memory management is that the .NET Framework has what we call a garbage collector. The garbage collector periodically destroyes unused objects etc to free up memory so it lets newer or lazy programmers get away with being a bit sloppy in terms of cleaning up after him or herself when programming. In C++ since it compiles directly to a native binary you don't have that safety net of a built in garbage collector to clean up after you. if you create a pointer or new object on the heap it is up to you to safely release it freeing up memory on your own. It isn't hard to do, but you have to take that extra step of releasing pointers and objects when they are no longer needed else you will have some major memory leaks. As far as writing games in C++. That's no problem. Back in college when I was taking C++ I wrote all kinds of simple text based games like Blackjack, Hangman, Guess the Number, whatever for practice. So you can do that sort of thing for practice before you get into more complicated games.

[Audyssey] Sorry, Thomas, another question, please?
Okay, I see the point and it looks like C++ is going to be my best option. Yes, that code you sent did look a bit complicated, but then I haven't studied the code as yet. My questions are below and sorry about all this, but this is all new to me. 1. Can I use the straight C++ and add Sappy later after the main program is written or should it be included as I write the program? 2. Where do I find this VC++ express that has the Sappy with it and about how much is that going to run me for cost? 3. In terms of direct X is that included in the ++ languages or where do I find the code for it or do I just download some sort of link thing to tell the program it needs this? 4. What, exactly is the first thing I should do? Find a link and tutorial to study a ++ language? 5. In terms of cost and libraries, exactly what does this mean? I thought I could just study the code and write everything by hand as I do with websites? Or, do I need to pay for a ++ license and direct X license and Sappy license to get this all going? What do I write the code in? I mean like for websites I write in MS-notepad and save as html. When I start writing code, do I use notepad again or do I download something special so I can save it as C++ extension or something.? I really appreciate all the help and I'm sorry I've so many questions, but I want to try to get things in the right order the first time so I don't have to redo stuff, which takes more time.

Re: [Audyssey] Sorry, Thomas, another question, please?
Hi Chastity, Ok, I've responded to your e-mail using a question and answer format so you and others can get a better handle on things. Question: 1. Can I use the straight C++ and add Sappy later after the main program is written or should it be included as I write the program? Answer: Depends on how large the project is. For a new programmer like yourself I'd recommend just focus on learning the language rather than trying to learn an API like Sapi. For simple programs you can just print your text directly to the screen using a function like printf or cout which is accessible to any screen reader that has console support. Most of my early programs just printed text to the screen in this way. Later once you know the language better you can go back and add Sapi support to them for practice. Question: 2. Where do I find this VC++ express that has the Sappy with it and about how much is that going to run me for cost? Answer: The answer is Visual C++ Express is totally free. It is a shareware program created by Microsoft and you can download it from me at http://developers.usagamesinteractive.com/downloads/vs-express/VC-Express-2008.zip then unzip it and install it. Question: 3. In terms of direct X is that included in the C++ languages or where do I find the code for it or do I just download some sort of link thing to tell the program it needs this? Answer: Well, DirectX is a technology that is built into Windows. In order to program a game or anything else that uses DirectX you need to download the DirectX SDK, set Visual C++ up to use it, and you need to read the documentation that comes with it to learn how to program using DirectX. DirectX is a very advanced piece of technology, and it isn't something you can learn over night. You can get the DirectX SDK for developers from them at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/directx/default.aspx and install it. I'll add here that Philip has a library he sells fairly cheaply called Streamway that uses DirectX, but is easier to use than DirectX from what he has told me. Plus you get some extras like the ability to use ogg support, sound encryption, etc. Just thought you'd like to know. Question: 4. What, exactly is the first thing I should do? Find a link and tutorial to study a C++ language? Answer: Yes, you need to learn the C++ language before you do anything else. You can't even begin to program using Sapi, DirectX, whatever unless you first know how to program using C++. It's like going to a foreign country and trying to talk to someone who can't speak English. In a case like that it makes sense to learn the foreign language before traveling to that country and trying to speak with someone who can't speak English. If that makes sense. Question: 5. In terms of cost and libraries, exactly what does this mean? I thought I could just study the code and write everything by hand as I do with websites? Or, do I need to pay for a C++ license and direct X license and Sappy license to get this all going? Answer: No. Most libraries such as DirectX, Sapi, etc are totally free. There are a few such as FMOD that cost a licencing fee if you use them commercially, but things like DirectX, Sapi, are totally free. There is no license for C++, because it is a free standard language shared by all operating systems and developers. No one company owns the rights to C++. Question: 6. What do I write the code in? I mean like for websites I write in MS-notepad and save as html. When I start writing code, do I use notepad again or do I download something special so I can save it as C++ extension or something.? Answer: If you use a development tool like Visual C++ it has a built in editor for writing programs and you can save the files as *.c, *.cpp, *.h, etc type files. However, if you want to you can code C++ programs in notepad, but you still have to compile them using a compiler like Visual C++, MinGW, whatever. You'll have to decide if you can work with the Visual C++ editor, or would rather just edit your code in notepad, textpad, or something else.

Re: [Audyssey] To Philip on C++
Hi Damien, I guess some times it is kind of a hard concept to get across once you have been so use to the way Visual Basic does things. However, some things are pretty obvious if you think about it. Like if you wanted to know if you needed to use a short or long integer. Take a game like Troopenum. In the game after 5 ships lands game over. Well, you don't need a lot of memory to store the numbers 0 through 5 so a short integer would be practical here, and you only use something like 2 byts to keep that variable in memory. Now, if you want to keep track of scoring that can be in the hundred thousands you obviously need more memory to store that big a number so a long integer would be used. Instead of 2 byts you now have reserved 4 byts for that variable. That much makes sense to you i'm sure. Pointers are exactly what the name implies. it points to some specific data already in memory. Kind of like a reference card that tells you on what stack, shelf, and isle a book can be located in the public library. Instead of books pointers keep track of certain data on file in your computer's memory, and can reference it for you when you call that pointer. As I recall unlike variables pointers don't actually use memory themselves but references some data already in memory rather than creating a block of memory and storing it there. HTH Damien C.

Re: [Audyssey] To Philip on C++
Hi Thomas, Pointers do use a little bit of memory, the word size of the particular platform to be more precise. So a pointer on a 32 bit platform takes up 32 bits of memory (e.g. 4 bytes), in order to store the memory address of the location which is being pointed to.

Re: [Audyssey] To Philip on C++
Hi Philip, Thanks for that. It has been years since I took a class on C++ so I don't actually remember all the specifics of how much memory each data type uses, how much memory a pointer uses, etc. I just remember when and where I should use them. Which is really all that is required. These days knowing how many byts you are using really isn't that necessary when we have lots of memory to play with. Still that doesn't mean we should use a long integer when we could get by with a short integer, or use a double variable when all we need is a floating point variable.

Re: [Audyssey] To Philip on C++
Hi Thomas, Quite so. Not only is memory availability skyrocketing, but programming is becoming more and more abstract so that one soon won't have to worry about these things very much at all. Still, though I have not taken any programming classes myself but have learnt purely from experience I enjoy picking up some of the theory as well as the practical aspects as I find that having knowledge on both fronts has been useful to me more than once. And while we're on the subject of memory management, do you yourself make use of garbage collection? I am considering adding it to my engine but have not yet made up my mind, as everything is allocated and freed manually at this point and it has worked rather well so far.

Re: [Audyssey] The Damned Targeting Thing
For entombed targiting, you hold the number and press enter to attack. So whe it is your character's turn in combat: 1: choose the attack, the basic fight option or some magic. 2: arrow to the enemy you want to targit. 3: hold down the key corresponding to the body part your aiming at. 4: With the key stil held down, push enter to execute the attack. As noted before, flurry is not targitable, also remember that just because your aiming at a body part, isn't a guarantee you hit it. if this doesn't work I don't know what's up. Hth.

After hitting either Fight or Flurry, I get the list of monsters if there's more than one. At this point, I have tried both hitting a number on the number key alone and hitting it while holding down the shift key. Neither has led to a targeted body part; I get the same random hits I was getting before. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Re: [Audyssey] The Damned Targeting Thing
No problem bill. While I agree about audio confirmation, I don't think adding more speech would be a good idea sinse that'd make battles far too verbose, --- -and the voice already says what part of the body you hit. perhaps a click when you press one of the number keys to indicate that your now targiting would do the trick.

Sorry to be so dense. I do think, though, that this function could do with a little audio confirmation.
