Re: [Audyssey] Winfrotz TTS
Hi Neophyte. i wasn't meaning that this was a specifically vi issue at all, just that it is principely the reason I've stopped playing a lot of if these days, sinse for every game I tried that I really liked, there seemed to be five or six others where I ran into those sorts of problems. This got particularly irritating with games like heroes which had a greeat concept and very much grabbed my interest. As to text gamebooks, I mean games based upon the style of the old gamebook series of the 1980's and early 90's, things like fighting fantasy, lone wolf and fabled lands. These are similar to interactive fiction in that they provide a second person narative, but rather than having a complex program and parza to handle progression, they use a system of turning to various pages of text (or with some of the online ones, clicking links), to make choices. Often, they also feature an abilities and stats system similar to a tabletop rp game and have turn based combat. By limiting the choice of player actions, I find it far easier to concentrate upon the story and world, rather than get stuck behind some over complex puzle. Traditionally, series like Fighting fantasy have been slightly pulp fantasy in genre, big swords and big explosions, however with people now writing gamebooks online, there are some more subtle works available and works in different genres. Noteable sites include www.ffproject.orgg, a site which has many gamebooks online, pluss an in built dice and character sheet system (so you don't need to write your own). www.arborell.com, The chronicles of arborell (actually very much a favourite of mine), a site where an author is trying to do essentially what Tolkien did, create a world with it's own history, culture and language. There are several game books (including one very unusual one), pluss many background novels, historical documents and the like. www.project.aon.org, a site wwhich allows you to either download or play online the lone wolf series of gamebooks from the 80's. These are unique in that the 20 books in the series form episodes in an ongoing story, and you keep your character and abilities from book to book adding more skills as you progress and thus getting more choices about where the story goes. There are several others kicking around, but these I think are probably the main three, and the three I frequent most. You can always search the database at www.audiogames.net for the gamebooks catagory. Hth. Beware the Grue!

With the torch lit, you hear that something is there, with it not utilized, you hear nothing. Wouldn't the same apply with trap warnings? Or, I just thought of this, could trap warnings be included in what you hear or do not hear, based on whether a torch is being used or not?

Re: [Audyssey] New here; saying hello
Hi Thomas, Actually there was no such thing as an accessible live action audio dos game for us. All though David Greenwood and PCS Games tried and emulated it pretty good, like with Cops and Robbers. The thing is, we had no Basic wave file playing code. So to play a wave file we would use the Basic shell command to use an external wave file player program. Of course though with this method the game was totally suspended while the wave file was being played. But in Windows with DirectX and sapi5 they have the ability to play a wave file and speak in an asynchronous manner. So unlike the dos games the program can continue and can do calculations, get keyboard or joystick input, play another wave file, stop speech and start new speech etc. In dos none of that could happen while the game was shelled out to play the wave file. I could be wrong, but I believe that David created Shades of Doom before he converted Lone Wolf to a windows version. TGIF and BFN - Original Message - Hi Jim, Actually, I think the first live action game for the blind would have to be Lone Wolf. It was GMA's second title and it was real time based rather than turn based. Lone Wolf 1.0 was for Dos, but eventually David Greenwood rewrote it in VB 6 and then 2.0 and later were full Windows releases. So Lone Wolf probably takes the credit since it was out far longer than Shades of Doom. Although, Shades of Doom was probably the first true First-Person game for the blind.

Re: [Audyssey] grid games
Michael, if I understand correctly, you are looking for games which are played on a grid and which you move only in 4 (or 8), directions encountering things on that grid. In theese terms, the games I can think of are: X hour obviously, Galaxy ranger, Night of parasite, self destruct, treasurehunt, egg hunt, super egg hunt, the great toy robbery, deakout, super deakout, snake, the Klango game mole no more, the Pirate memory game, dog and cat, (though that isn't available anymore), and to an extent the maze games you've already tried (though not mortalmaze sinse that is more 3D. This isn't really a helpful way of catagorizing games though, sinse it covers everything from fast action arcade games, to puzles like dog and cat, to memory tests, as well as some more complex action adventure games like X hour, night of parasite and treasurehunt. I suggest in choosing what games to play you think rather more about the style of game you'd fancy trying, rather than what sort of interface it has.

Hi. I really can't agree with you here. There is no true 3d audio games as of yet. No wait, winPup and 3d velocity are true 3d games. Some other games just have 3d sound.

Re: [Audyssey] New here; saying hello
Hi Jim, Good point. Yes, I remember how difficult it was to play a sound under Dos. In fact, I had the very same issue under Linux before they began developing APIs like SDL, SFML, OpenGL, and OpenAL which provided better means for handling input, audio, graphics, etc. For example, I can remember around 1998 or 1999 when I was learning C++ at Wright State I decided to write a few simple card and board games for Linux. As you pointed out there was nothing like DirectX available so I'd have to do something like system (play shuffle.wav); which basicly executed the Sox play shell command and told it which wav file to play. It only allowed me to play one wav file at a time so was only good for simple games like Blackjack, Poker, Uno, Monopoly, or something like that. True real time action games weren't possible on Linux until SDL and other APIs came along a few years later. Anyway, I'm pretty sure David Greenwood ported lone Wolf to Windows before Shades of Doom because I purchased Lone Wolf while Shades of Doom was still in alpha. At that time Lone Wolf 2.0 was already out, was rreleased, while Shades of Doom was still under development. However, David Greenwood had talked about the idea of making a Doom clone clear back as early as 99, but didn't get it done until around late 2000 or maybe early 2001. Perhaps you are thinking of that? Cheers! On 11/5/10, Jim Kitchen j...@kitchensinc.net wrote: Hi Thomas, Actually there was no such thing as an accessible live action audio dos game for us.

Hello Sarah. Yes, this is irritating, especially sinse I think pirate memory game would do very well in the Klango games room.

I've recently found both games uninstallable as well, sinse Avg flags them as false positives when installed, though for some reason doesn't flag the setup files. Also, irritatingly both games have to run under a version early version of the Klango environment, Klango 1.6 I believe, which is a pest especially if you have the Klango network installed already (you'll probably need to take care where you install these).

Re: [Audyssey] Game books
Hi neophyte. To be honest as a visually impared person doesn't particularly apply here if the books are accessible. Obviously I prefer them not to have graphics or graphical puzles, and equally obviously it's good for me to get them online rather than in an inaccessible print form (I've contacted the publishers of the ff series sinse they seem to be producing versions for Iphone, suggesting that they might sell accessible pc versions, but sadly I got no response, and sinse I on't have an Iphone myself I can't say whether gamebook projects released for it are accessible with th aple synth voice over or not). As a fan however, I do have thoughts. my first, is that obviously good writing is manifestly helpful. I've seen several sites which offer online creation of Cyoa type affairs, but all of the ones I checked seemed to be written by a ten year old (and often a dirty minded one at that). So that's obviously the first concern (this is one thing i really love about the Chronicles of arborell, the writing is superb). Then there is probably the most often mentioned factor of gamebooks, random death. A gamebook (such as house of horror on the ff project site), where fairly inocuous choices can get your character killed and the only way through is basic trial and error frequently leaves you with a sense of unfairness. I'm not saying random death shouldn't occur, only that it would be helpful to have at least some hint in the text, or some method of saving yourself via a stat roll or use of ability, not just woopse, didn't we tell you that taking the right hand passage lead to a giant invisible crushing wrecking ball of death! getting on to abilities, obviously it is not possible to feature a hugely long combat and stats system in a gamebook, however there should be things you as a character can do to influence stats, rather than just be forced to take whatever you roll at the beginning and live with it. lone wolf for instance has the Kai skills systems (which has also been mirrored in Arborell), where taking certain skills allows you to avoid combats, for instance by using your archery skill to shoot the guards from a distance, or using your hunting skill to head around the advancing guard patrol. Like wise, while it's not really possible to have a really complex and interesting stats system in a gamebook, combats should at least have some nice scriptions for winning or losing (the chronicles of arborell does this very well). i also dislike books which simply stick in statistically hard fights for the sake of it which you as a player cannot alter. While having a chance of death in battle is fine, being suddenly attacked by something which is amazingly tougher than you and cannot physically be killed due to the high stats against you (as indeed happened in some of the lw books), is simply unfair. I actually did have a plan for a gamebook, but I've yet to get to the point of writing it, too many other things on hand unfortunately. I hope you have fun with these. Beware the grue!

Hi Hayden, Well, as a big Sendspace user with a Max account I can give you lots of reasons why Dropbox is, well, not that good. For one thing with a Sendspace Max account you can download up to 8 GB per day, can store 100 GB of files on your account, use of the Sendspace Wizard, etc. Dropbox doesn't offerly nearly that much. Especially, for a free account. I can't tell you how many times someone has posted a podcast or something to Dropbox, and when I go to download it Dropbox says the download limit has expired or the file is no longer available.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Beta 16 Changes
Hi Hayden, Okay, but after this we really really need to get back on topic. This is way off topic. Smile. The name Bash is an achronim for Born Again Shell. Unlike Dos that has a single user interface, a common shell environment you might say, different brands of Unix like BSD, Solaris, Sco, etc all developed their own shell environments independantly like the Born shell, Ash, Corn shell, and a few others I can't remember. To make a long story short when Linux came along the open source community decided to create a free and open source shell environment similar to the Born shell and called it the Born Again Shell or Bash for short. Over time Bash pretty much became the open source and Unix standard, and is by far the most popular shell environment on the market. Not only is it the default for every Linux operating system out there Mac OSX uses Bash as its shell environment too. As for the term shell it means exactly that. A shell is simply a basic input output system for the operating system that allows you to interact with the OS by using simple instructions like cd to change directory or del to delete a file. It is called a shell because it provides a low-level shell that everything else including the graphical user interface is built upon. Even in an operating system like Windows 7 the Windows shell is still there. It is just buried under so much graphical stuff the average person doesn't know it is there. However, if you boot Windows and bring up the Windos 7 boot menu you'll see an option to boot to command prompt mode. This is basicly a new name for MS Dos mode. As much as Microsoft tries to hide it the Windows shell is still there and if you know how to get to it Windows XP, Windos Vista, and Windows 7 still have a low-level shell similar to MS Dos that everything is just built on. Linux isn't that much different, but unlike Microsoft they don't try to bury the shell under lots of graphical user interfaces and act like it isn't there. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] still getting the blue screen when exiting modaplease help.
Hi Shaun, Um...firstly I'm not sure how youelt like you were really there. Secondly, do you recall DirectX has 2D panning?

I don't mind but I was beginning to like the 3d pan. You really felt like you were there if you know what I mean. I can't explain it its just a feeling.

I've pretty much got the older Windows based Genesis Engine upgraded to current and therefore it will be using DirectInput for input, DirectSound for audio output, and use the standard Win32 API for everything else. If it crashes after that it definitely won't be the game or engine's fault. I'm hoping to put beta 16 up today or tomorrow after I finish up with some final testing and update the manual accordingly.

Re: [Audyssey] Winfrotz TTS
Hi Noeophyet, There are, as a natter of fact, games written in zcode that use the command exits for that information (see Gournet). As for Wake...did they really? I missed the Braille Note talk.

To Zachary. Thanks. I'll add that little bit of information to my expanding text document. Hopefully, soon, I'll work through everyone's advice and distill it down into some good set ups that work well on particular platforms. To Muhammed. I'll do some research on the Braille note before I chat to you, so I can get a better understanding. I believe it was talked about in the book I recently finished, called Wake. It's by science fiction author Robert Sawyer and features a blind girl as the protagonist. To Shaun. Sounds like you've got a great collection of old-school games there. There's something about the really old floppy disks that were around in the eighties and nineties that I still love. I wonder if, in thirty years time, people will get all nostalgic over CDs. Grins. To Dark. Awesome. Thanks so much. That's given me a good understanding of some of the features that are missing from Winfrotz TTS. Your reply to Michael was great, too. Laughs. Don't worry. Pretty much all of the frustrations you talk about with interactive fiction is there for sighted players, as well. So many games have tripped me up just because I couldn't get the right syntax or didn't understand the author's logic. In my opinion, that's often largely the fault of the author. In both replies you mentioned text based game books. What exactly are you referring to there? I've downloaded a copy of fallthru. Hopefully, on the weekend, I'll get to play some of it. I played a bit more of the IF comp game Mite last night using Winfrotz TTS. It was a little easier than the night before. I imagine you get used to things and anticipate them, or cancel them with the right keystroke. As for a recommendation on what to play, it depends on the type of game you like. I'm a big sucker for short interactive fiction games such as Lost Pig, Escapade, Snack Time and so on. To Michael. Thanks for the welcome. No doubt me landing on Audyssey and then proceeding to ask a million questions has caused a little intrigue. There's a couple of reasons why I'm trying to learn so much. One of them is so that I can help the community of sighted interactive fiction authors understand how to write better games. Anything (and perhaps everything) I learn here I hope to share with them at some point. Thanks for the fantastic overview on Winfrotz. Some questions that popped into my head include things like: What if there were commands written into games that could let you review your last turn, or list the known objects in a room? What if there was a command that let you know the obvious exits? For example, typing the word directions gave you an abbreviated list of the exits. Are there features like that which could be written into an Inform extension that would help? To Jim. Thanks for the brief history lesson. I understand the revolutionary aspect of audio games, but do you have more problems with system conflicts and platform bugs as a result? To Tom. Once again, some awesome information there. Thanks! I really appreciate it. I obviously need to do some research on Sapi and start listening to the differences between screen readers to get a better understanding.

I certainly understand where you're coming from, but if the game's too difficult, it gets to a point where your fastest reflexes won't help you out for long. Since Q9 is Philip's most recent game, let's use it as an example.You set game to insane and start walking around. at some point during the game a rhino, and about 5 other animals come galloping at you at full speed. what do we do in that situation? we can't kill them all without taking massive damage in the process, and since there's no way of dodging we can't attack them on mass, and hope to survive anyhow. so they all attack at once and we die within 10 seconds. In this situation you could say well jump away from them. We could do that, but what if there's a pit behind us? Also remember Q9 enemies follow you indefinitely once they see you so are we just gonna run all the way back to the beginning of the level, at which point we'll be trapped regardless? . if we jump forward and over them somehow, only thing that'll happen is we'll have another pile of enemies from that side added to our current predicament all ganging up on us. I don't find a difficulty like that fun or challenging, I find it extremely frustrating. Console games have a balance between the easiest and hardest difficulties that stays constant, and also within the realm of possibility to complete. even games that are extremely difficult and almost impossible to beat have a multiplayer option, or a way to get health items, or some such feature that'll spread, or lessen the burden of completing the game and that won't lead to frustration for the player for the next 3 years. I think if developers are going to put an extremely hard difficulty, they need to test it out or at least have a team that's good enough at the particular title to test it for them, and complete the game first to make 100% certain it's doable. Don't just put it out there without the slightest clue whether someone will ever be able to complete it. If I had the programming skills, I could make a game that has a difficulty setting with 350 creatures moving at 55mph and all attacking simultaneously in 3d space, but I know no one will ever complete such a game. and if no one can beat it and brag about it, then what would be the point? the clue's in the name guys. It's called game difficulty setting, not game impossibility setting. or unbeatable game setting. - Original Message - From: Hayden Presley hdpres...@hotmail.com To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 10:12 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] game difficulties was Re: best side scroller? - Re:Q9 version 1.2.

Re: [Audyssey] for all the SF nuts
True, that. That's actually why I try not to use ultras too often now... they're only good if they connect. If they don't, you're in deep crap. A lot of it. lol. But all in all, it wasn't a bad playthrough, imo.

Re: [Audyssey] Game books
Hi. well they have their devotees, however sinse unlike interactive fiction you often need to write your own character ststats etc, some people don't want to put in the work (which is imho a shame). There are actually people writing more ameter books, for instance the chronicles of arborell runs a competition for one each year. I've always considdered entering and in fact do have ideas, but thus far I've just been too busy with work on my phd, games, doing stuff for audiogames.net, reading a lot, all the things on stage I do and (when I have time to write), more conventional forms of writing. Hopefully at some stage I'll get the time to sit down and bring my idea about, sinse I certainly do have one. I agree on the death business, though some ameter books have done a good job with this. Trials of alabas toom on the ffproject site for instance, has a room near the end called the pit of death which has you descending down various poles, slides and ladders to the bottom of a large pit. there are four or five 50 50 choices with an instant death at each. The clever thing however is that throughout the first part of the book, if you explore, you will find litle hints on which choice is dangerous and which isn't. So for instance I recieved a hint about a box crashing to the ground, so when presented with a choice betwene an elivator or a staircase in the pit of death, I took the stairs. And of course, even if you miss a hint, you are not doomed sinse you stil have a chance of survival. then, there is also saving, ie by noting down a certain section of the book (or by noting the page if it's an html one). Though only supported by some books this can be a way of avoiding instant death choices being quite as dangerous, particularly in the longer, 500 or 1000 section books (windhammer from the chronicles of arborell actually has rules to support this).

Picking up the old Choose Your Own Adventure books was quite the surprise. I had no idea how badly they were written. They just spiral all over the place and some of the deaths are so obscure and unexpected. In my opinion, ensuring that each choice is informed and conflicted is so important. Are game books popular here? I wonder how many of us who read and play them would love to write their own. I know I've thought about it many times. Thanks for the Cerepoc link.
