[Audyssey] aurifi games

[michael barnes]

Hey, I was wondering if their might be any games just like aurifi?  I 
somewhat remember that someone had mention that there is a game that is 
like aurifi coming out.
But instead it being about instruments it is some kind of superhero you 
are playing as.

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] ways to play interactive fiction titles on the pc

[Thomas Ward]

Hi Fred,

It all really depends on what language the interactive fiction game is
written in. If it was written in Inform then you will need something
like Frotz or Winfrotz. If it is written in Adrift then you need
either Scare or the Adrift Runner. If it is written in Tads then you
need Wintads. There are suppose to be sort of all in one interpreters
out there, but they usually don't support everything completely. What
I mean about that is some interactive fiction games may have some
graphics and sounds. Some interpreters don't support graphics and
sounds but supports multiple interactive fiction file types. It often
is a trade-off in terms of features.

For example, an if interpreter I use for Linux is called Rogue. It
supports Tads, Adrift, and a couple of other if type games. Its a nice
handy all in one application, but there are a few accessibility issues
with it, and it lacks some features I might get with using the
official Adrift Runner for Windows. One of those being the ability to
play sounds/music in the game. So if I happen to download an Adrift
type game that has sounds that feature won't be supported using Rogue.
However, the advantages for me in using Rogue is it is supported on
Linux, supports multiple game file types, and is reasonably accessible
with Orca. So in this case I'm willing to forego the sounds/music for
non-Windows compatibility. However, if I want all the features of the
Adrift adventure format I have to use the official Adrift 4 Runner for
Windows instead.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] ways to play interactive fiction titles on the pc

[Zachary Kline]

Hi Fred,
Tads and Adrift require other programs, but Filfer will play both ZCode and 
Glulx, I believe.  That last might not be true, as I've not used it for some 
time, and can't remember for certain.  The other two mentioned systems have 
their own, dedicated interpreters.
Best,
Zack.

Re: [Audyssey] Apollo 13 - Re: Apollo - Re: Space sims?

[Clement Chou]

There are certain areas in history that are interesting. I find 
European and Asian history much more interesting than, say, Canadian 
history. There just isn't anything interesting about the history of 
this country... it's all trading and politics, and especially the way 
it's presented in textbooks is ridiculous. I love history... always 
have. But I prefer European and Asian history, especially in the 
areas of mythology, military and weapons.

HI Charles,

Well, I'm not really that surprised. Besides the fact this kid was
young, hadn't had history yet, etc I've generally found that most
people are really uneducated when it comes to history in general. I've
found all too many times people said history was boring, they slept
through class, and they don't really know anything about it other than
a few facts here and there they picked up somewhere. Even then what
history they do know, or think they know, usually is white washed
facts that passes for history in our schools today.

For instance, how many people were involved in the Lincoln
assassanation? If you are like most people you will mention John Wilks
Booth and forget everyone else involved in the plot to kill Lincoln.
The real truth is there was several people involved directly with the
Lincoln assassaination, and several cabinit members were attacked the
same night as Lincoln. John Wilks Booth was killed while trying to
escape, but several other members of the conspiracy were rounded up
and put on trial. In the end four people were hanged for conspiracy,
and four others were sent to prison. For some reason this part of the
Lincoln assassination is rarely discussed. Its not even in the school
books. Yet that is what really happened and is a matter of public
record if anyone wants to look into it further.

Its cases like this that really disgust me about the American school
system. The history books maybe have one or two pages dedicated to any
specific person or event and skip over the deeper truths and history
behind what happened. For most people that's enough. The day people
graduate from high school they just stop studying history, and that is
very sad because history is extremely interesting if presented
correctly.  The Apaulo 13 mission is a case in point of history that
is very interesting and has books and movies written about it. There
is really no excuse not to know about it.

Cheers!

one. It's just the way the story goes.

No, that's not correct. Anakin jumped to try and attack Obi-Wan and
Obi-Wan chopped off both legs with his light saber while Anakin was

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

Hi,

Yeah, I remember. That's why I said Mara could have killed Jason, but
he cheated by distracting her with Ben's image. That moment of
hesitation was all it took to use the poison dart. Otherwise she'd
have ended it right then and their. However, she gave him one heck of
a battle. It got down right brutal if you come down to it. Jason used
an emotional weakness and Mara paid for it with her life.

Re: [Audyssey] Apollo 13 - Re: Apollo - Re: Space sims?

[Thomas Ward]

Hi Bryan,

In deed. I don't recall which book it was, maybe At Don We Slept,
where the author presents some convincing evidence we knew the attack
was coming but conveniently ignored the information in order to bring
us into World War II. F.D.R. knew if we were attacked people would get
behind the war 100% and so they let Pearl Harbor happen without any
initial warning or resistance from the high command. Of course, the
U.S. government, even today, will deny that accusation, but there is
plenty of historical documentation etc to back up the claim that
F.D.R. intentionally let Pearl Harbor happen to get us into the war.
Of course, we are now getting way off topic so we should try and get
things back on topic here.

Cheers!

Hi Bryan,

Yeah, very true. There is a lot of history, mith, and legend packed
into the Harry Potter series that most people frankly are holy unaware
of.

For instance, let's take Serious Black. There is some very special
history linked to this name. The name Serious is the name of a star
commonly known to the ancients as the Dog Star or Death Star. Not
surprisingly therefore Serious can turn into a black dog which has an
interesting legend in and of itself. According to British mith and
legend a black dog, called a Grim, symbolizes death much in the same
way some people think of black cats today. So I personally find it
interesting that Serious Black's name and dog form is tied to death
legends, but if you try and discuss this with your average Harry
Potter fan they won't know anything about it. Most of them probably
can't even tell you that Serious is a star let alone all the mith and
legend attached to it in ancient times. This kind of ignorance of
history is what really gets me upset at our school system etc.

I think the reason why so many people say history is dull, boring,
uninteresting, etc is simply the way it is taught or presented to
students. History teachers seem to focus on dry facts, names, dates,
etc rather than letting the stories tell themselves. With the total
anti-religion movement in our schools today they don't even want to
get into mith and ancient religions as that involves religious debates
and discussions. So they stick to dry, boring, and largely
uninteresting facts instead of all the cool stuff history has to
offer.

For example, I myself am a big fan of Egyptology. Have studied it in
depth since I was a kid. However, memorizing what Pharoe ruled when
and what wars he faught in is only the plane ordinary part of the
history. To really understand them as a people you have to study their
myths, their legends, their religion and you will begin to see them as
who they really were and things will get a lot more interesting.

Also there are plenty of interesting things left open to debate like
was Tutankhamun murdered? There are many people who believe this
because of a letter Queen Ankhesenamen wrote to the Hitite king
stating that she feared for her life, and she believed Ay had ordered
Tutankhamun's murder. What we do know for a fact is Ay had forced
Queen Ankhesenamen into marrying him so he could assume the thrown,
and then she vanishes from history and her body has never been found.
What we have there is a 3,500 year old murder mystery/conspiracy. So
there are plenty of interesting things to study in history if people
get passed the dry boring stuff taught in public schools.

Cheers!

Of course if he hadn't survived it's entirely possible that the Emperor 
wouldn't have been defeated. Vader, or perhaps Anakin reborn would be more 
accurate, was after all the one who killed the Emperor to save Luke. You 
could argue the same point for Lord of the Rings, since it's entirely 
possible that if Bilbo had killed Gollum in The Hobbit, or if Sam or Frodo 
had done so later, that Frodo would have been unable to destroy the ring. 
Heck, it's entirely possible that they might have failed even if Frodo had 
succeeded in turning GOllum back to good. And he almost succeeded in that 
and might have if not for Faramir. But the same principle applies in Star 
Wars. If Anakin had died that day on Mostafar it's entirely possible that 
the Emperor might eventually have overcome the rebels.

 Hi Shaun,

 No, not true. Grevous was a cyborg not a droid. A droid is a 100%
 robot like C-3PO. A cyborg is part organic part machine. Come to think
 of it Darth Vader himself is a cyborg as one of his arms both legs,
 etc are mechanical since Obi-Wan chopped them off in Revenge of the
 Sith and left him for dead in a lava pit.

Re: [Audyssey] Apollo 13 - Re: Apollo - Re: Space sims?

[Thomas Ward]

Hi Bryan,

Yeah, very true. There is a lot of history, mith, and legend packed
into the Harry Potter series that most people frankly are holy unaware
of.

For instance, let's take Serious Black. There is some very special
history linked to this name. The name Serious is the name of a star
commonly known to the ancients as the Dog Star or Death Star. Not
surprisingly therefore Serious can turn into a black dog which has an
interesting legend in and of itself. According to British mith and
legend a black dog, called a Grim, symbolizes death much in the same
way some people think of black cats today. So I personally find it
interesting that Serious Black's name and dog form is tied to death
legends, but if you try and discuss this with your average Harry
Potter fan they won't know anything about it. Most of them probably
can't even tell you that Serious is a star let alone all the mith and
legend attached to it in ancient times. This kind of ignorance of
history is what really gets me upset at our school system etc.

I think the reason why so many people say history is dull, boring,
uninteresting, etc is simply the way it is taught or presented to
students. History teachers seem to focus on dry facts, names, dates,
etc rather than letting the stories tell themselves. With the total
anti-religion movement in our schools today they don't even want to
get into mith and ancient religions as that involves religious debates
and discussions. So they stick to dry, boring, and largely
uninteresting facts instead of all the cool stuff history has to
offer.

For example, I myself am a big fan of Egyptology. Have studied it in
depth since I was a kid. However, memorizing what Pharoe ruled when
and what wars he faught in is only the plane ordinary part of the
history. To really understand them as a people you have to study their
myths, their legends, their religion and you will begin to see them as
who they really were and things will get a lot more interesting.

Also there are plenty of interesting things left open to debate like
was Tutankhamun murdered? There are many people who believe this
because of a letter Queen Ankhesenamen wrote to the Hitite king
stating that she feared for her life, and she believed Ay had ordered
Tutankhamun's murder. What we do know for a fact is Ay had forced
Queen Ankhesenamen into marrying him so he could assume the thrown,
and then she vanishes from history and her body has never been found.
What we have there is a 3,500 year old murder mystery/conspiracy. So
there are plenty of interesting things to study in history if people
get passed the dry boring stuff taught in public schools.

Cheers!

[Audyssey] history -Re: Apollo 13 - Re: Apollo - Re: Space sims?

[Charles Rivard]

The teacher of history has a lot to do with how much we know.  I still have 
a mental block, although I really shouldn't, when it comes to history.  Our 
junior high and high school history was an old woman who, at the beginning 
of the class, told us the points of the chapter to remember.  Then she would 
say something like, "There are 45 minutes remaining in the period.  Read the 
chapter silently.  What you don't finish in class is your homework."  Our 
classes were 50 minutes in duration, so you know how much time she spent. 
If someone raised their hand to ask a question, it was asked, and then she 
usually told the student to look it up.  The answer is in the book.  On 
Friday, we were given an aural test of the week's chapters.  We got blasted 
if we gave wrong answers.  Her comment, after the first wrong answer would 
be, "Well, I can see that this class didn't do their homework, either."  It 
was the most boring class I ever attended, other than Latin class, which she 
also supposedly taught.  The same method was used in both classes.

HI Charles,

Well, I'm not really that surprised. Besides the fact this kid was
young, hadn't had history yet, etc I've generally found that most
people are really uneducated when it comes to history in general. I've
found all too many times people said history was boring, they slept
through class, and they don't really know anything about it other than
a few facts here and there they picked up somewhere. Even then what
history they do know, or think they know, usually is white washed
facts that passes for history in our schools today.

For instance, how many people were involved in the Lincoln
assassanation? If you are like most people you will mention John Wilks
Booth and forget everyone else involved in the plot to kill Lincoln.
The real truth is there was several people involved directly with the
Lincoln assassaination, and several cabinit members were attacked the
same night as Lincoln. John Wilks Booth was killed while trying to
escape, but several other members of the conspiracy were rounded up
and put on trial. In the end four people were hanged for conspiracy,
and four others were sent to prison. For some reason this part of the
Lincoln assassination is rarely discussed. Its not even in the school
books. Yet that is what really happened and is a matter of public
record if anyone wants to look into it further.

Its cases like this that really disgust me about the American school
system. The history books maybe have one or two pages dedicated to any
specific person or event and skip over the deeper truths and history
behind what happened. For most people that's enough. The day people
graduate from high school they just stop studying history, and that is
very sad because history is extremely interesting if presented
correctly.  The Apaulo 13 mission is a case in point of history that
is very interesting and has books and movies written about it. There
is really no excuse not to know about it.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

[Bryan Peterson]

Of course if he hadn't survived it's entirely possible that the Emperor 
wouldn't have been defeated. Vader, or perhaps Anakin reborn would be more 
accurate, was after all the one who killed the Emperor to save Luke. You 
could argue the same point for Lord of the Rings, since it's entirely 
possible that if Bilbo had killed Gollum in The Hobbit, or if Sam or Frodo 
had done so later, that Frodo would have been unable to destroy the ring. 
Heck, it's entirely possible that they might have failed even if Frodo had 
succeeded in turning GOllum back to good. And he almost succeeded in that 
and might have if not for Faramir. But the same principle applies in Star 
Wars. If Anakin had died that day on Mostafar it's entirely possible that 
the Emperor might eventually have overcome the rebels.

Hi Shaun,

No, not true. Grevous was a cyborg not a droid. A droid is a 100%
robot like C-3PO. A cyborg is part organic part machine. Come to think
of it Darth Vader himself is a cyborg as one of his arms both legs,
etc are mechanical since Obi-Wan chopped them off in Revenge of the
Sith and left him for dead in a lava pit.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

[Thomas Ward]

Hi,

Well, at least from what I read most Sith spirits are confined to a
certain place like a temple or tomb. Although, Exar Kun's case might
be different considering he used the Massassi Temples to escape the
Jedi Knights who were hunting him in the Knights of the Old Republic
series comics. They killed his body, but Kun managed to seal his
spirit in the Mesassi temple until someone could set him free. Which
happened in the Jedi Academy series.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

[Clement Chou]

Nope... Obi-Wan physically chopped them off himself. And it might be 
different in the movie, but in the book it's Anakin's left arm which 
obi-wan slices through. So I was wrong... he still had one limb left. 
Here's the passage from the novel:


 Obi-Wan turned his dive into  a  forward  roll  that  left  him  barely
teetering on the rim of a low cliff, just above the soft black sand  of  the
riverbank. Anakin snarled a curse as he realized  he'd  been  suckered,  and
leapt off his droid at Obi-Wan's back- Half a second too slow.
 Obi-Wan's whirl to parry didn't meet Anakin's blade. It met  his  knee.
Then his other knee.
 And while Anakin was still in  the  air,  burned-off  lower  legs  only
starting their topple down the cliff, Obi-Wan's recovery  to  guard  brought
his blade through Anakin's left arm above the  elbow.  He  stepped  back  as
Anakin fell.
 Anakin dropped his lightsaber, clawing at the edge of  the  cliff  with
his mechanical hand, but his grip was too powerful for the lava bank and  it
crumbled, and he slid down onto the black sand. His  severed  legs  and  his
severed arm rolled into the lava below him  and  burned  to  ash  in  sudden
bursts of scarlet flame.

Hi Shane,

No, that's not correct. Anakin jumped to try and attack Obi-Wan and
Obi-Wan chopped off both legs with his light saber while Anakin was
jumping. I can definitely tell you he didn't lose his legs because of
the lava.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

The actual story, NPR and movie are all the same in one respect... 
all three show Obi-Wan being cut down physically. In none of those 
does Vader conduct a missed blow... Obi-Wan's involvement later in 
the stories is only through manifestation as a force ghost.

Depending on what you acutally listen to, the actual stories or npr,

Hi Bryan,

No. Obi-Wan cut off the bionic arm, the same arm Dooku cut off, in
order to try and disable Anakin as that was the arm holding his light
saber. Remember Obi-Wan, like all good Jedi, tried to turn Anakin
first before going for the kill. In fact I have the Final Battle
Anakin Skywalker action figure and the right arm is the one you can
chop off as well as his legs. That's a bit graphic for a kids toy, but
quite accurate in terms of the movie.

Cheers!

And I don't think it was much over twenty-five years from Revenge of the

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

I know some Sith can do that or something similar at any rate. Look at 
Gantoris and Kyp Durron, both of whom briefly fell under the dominion of 
Exar-Kun. In fact if I'mnot mistkane Gantoris was killed by Kun's spirit. 
And then of course there was Freedon Nadd, who led Kun down the dark path to 
begin with. I don't know if it's the same when Sith do it or if they 
actually have to bind their spirits to a specific object or location in 
order to communicate with the living. After all Exar-Kun sealed his spirit 
in those temples on Yavin IV, one of which of course served as the location 
of the rebel base and later the Jedi Academy.

Hi,

Well, we do know that the spirit of the person who dies in the Star
Wars universe is able to return and communicate and help the living.
Yoda says in Revenge of the Sith to Obi-Wan this is possible through
the Living Force. Which Qui-Gon Gin was an expert at, and is the first
person we know of to do it. At least in the more modern era anyway.
However, this ability to appear and to speak to the living seems to be
fairly specific to certain people.

For instance, when Obi-Wan dies he only speaks to Luke and Yoda. I
don't know if that is because the Force is required to see and talk to
him, but he never speaks to Leia who also has the Force. However,
Obi-Wan actively helps Luke become a Jedi and councils him in his
early years as a Jedi Knight.

In the Star Wars Legacy series after Jason kills Mara she returns as a
Force spirit. She speaks to Luke and Ben Skywalker, but doesn't seem
to speak or communicate with anyone else. Not even Jaina who she had
taught. However, in the FOTJ series she does speak to Janan Korr
letting him know of a plot to clone Force users so perhaps they aren't
limited to certain people. Interesting enough we do get something of
an answer about life after death in the Star Wars FOTJ series.

In FOTJ Ben and Luke enter a place called the Lake of Apparitions
where Mara's spirit tells them that death is a time of reflection and
a place to lookback on the things one has done both good and bad.
Anakin Solo's spirit is there as well so it seems to be a place where
the spirits of the Jedi go after dying. Although, the book doesn't
mention it perhaps Yoda, Obi-Wan, and all the other Jedis is there
too.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

[Thomas Ward]

Hi Shaun,

Well, I can say that Asteroids 98, a remake by Activision for Win 98,
wasn't boring. Besides better graphics and sounds it had a more
complete plot than the original Asteroids of the 1980's. Basically,
the in-game story was you were sent out to stop these asteroids from
hitting earth. As you played you found out the asteroids were a weapon
used by an alien race, the crystal aliens, who were trying to start a
war with Earth and whipe us out. Of course, besides asteroids there
were space snakes, UFOs, and even space probes. There were a number of
different types of asteroids like ancient energy asteroids,
indestructable asteroids, etc which made things certainly interesting.
Asteroids 98 was awesome.

Cheers!

Hi Imbar,

From my web site;
wincart2.exe 10.2m bytes October 2009
I wrote Mach 1 tts specifically for my Logitech MOMO Racing steering wheel 
joystick.  It should work ok with other game controllers as well.  However 
some of the tracks may be very difficult if not impossible to drive via 
the keyboard.
In version 2 I have added, 6 car engine sounds to choose from, 3 wall 
sounds to choose from, fuel consumption, pit roads, speech options and 
other game options etc.
Note* you will need to disable your screen reader to play this game, 
unless you are using a joystick.


BTW The Geneva track is probably the easiest.  Then maybe the Maple Leaf 
Tri-Oval.


I hope that you might give it a try.

BFN

My steering wheel is a Logitech MOMO Racing.

Hi Imbar,

Yeah even though landing the shuttle is similar to landing a glider plane 
the launch is nothing like taking off in a plane.  You know in an airplane 
you crank up the engines, release the brakes and roll down the runway 
building up speed until you get to the correct speed to pull up and lift 
off of the ground.  You then ascend into the sky at what about a 30 degree 
angle.  Now the shuttle on the launch pad is standing vertically on it's 
tail attached to the huge external fuel tank.  So you are sitting on your 
back looking up into the sky.  5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and all five main engines 
fire up burning hydrogen and liquid oxygen.  At the same time the two 
solid rocket boosters ignite.  All hell brakes loose and you ascend almost 
vertically straight up into the sky at thousands of miles an hour.  But 
yeah as a shuttle sim it could be done as easily as an airplane sim.


BTW I do not think that I would so much enjoy weightlessness with no 
visual reference points, no gravity for reference etc.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
I'm not a expert on this program by no means. SMILES.
I will help when and where I can though.
FSX can be a tricky program to manage let's just say that.
I would go into further details on that statement privately though.
But at this time, FSX and the third part program It's Your Plane from Canada 
is making FSX the only civilian flight simulator about 90 percent blind 
friendly. I do like what the company FS Captain is doing with their program 
but I don't think we could make it blind friendly though.
Hope this helps.
Ron who if were sighted now knows that he'd have had a career in the air and 
just might have earned his 1,000 hours certification for a space shuttle CDR 
and or PLT license.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

[Thomas Ward]

Hi Bryan,

No. Obi-Wan cut off the bionic arm, the same arm Dooku cut off, in
order to try and disable Anakin as that was the arm holding his light
saber. Remember Obi-Wan, like all good Jedi, tried to turn Anakin
first before going for the kill. In fact I have the Final Battle
Anakin Skywalker action figure and the right arm is the one you can
chop off as well as his legs. That's a bit graphic for a kids toy, but
quite accurate in terms of the movie.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

[Thomas Ward]

Hi,

Well, we do know that the spirit of the person who dies in the Star
Wars universe is able to return and communicate and help the living.
Yoda says in Revenge of the Sith to Obi-Wan this is possible through
the Living Force. Which Qui-Gon Gin was an expert at, and is the first
person we know of to do it. At least in the more modern era anyway.
However, this ability to appear and to speak to the living seems to be
fairly specific to certain people.

For instance, when Obi-Wan dies he only speaks to Luke and Yoda. I
don't know if that is because the Force is required to see and talk to
him, but he never speaks to Leia who also has the Force. However,
Obi-Wan actively helps Luke become a Jedi and councils him in his
early years as a Jedi Knight.

In the Star Wars Legacy series after Jason kills Mara she returns as a
Force spirit. She speaks to Luke and Ben Skywalker, but doesn't seem
to speak or communicate with anyone else. Not even Jaina who she had
taught. However, in the FOTJ series she does speak to Janan Korr
letting him know of a plot to clone Force users so perhaps they aren't
limited to certain people. Interesting enough we do get something of
an answer about life after death in the Star Wars FOTJ series.

In FOTJ Ben and Luke enter a place called the Lake of Apparitions
where Mara's spirit tells them that death is a time of reflection and
a place to lookback on the things one has done both good and bad.
Anakin Solo's spirit is there as well so it seems to be a place where
the spirits of the Jedi go after dying. Although, the book doesn't
mention it perhaps Yoda, Obi-Wan, and all the other Jedis is there
too.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

[darren harris]

Hi tom, 

Yeah I can see how that would be an issue.

I've played games like frontier elite 2 in the passed, it simulates space
very well. I've also played games like x beyond the frontier, whereby the
normal physics of space don't apply. Meaning if you want to stop you can and
you don't need to reverse thrust to do it. 

I think the 1 thing that attracts me with space games is the sheer vastness
of them. 

I don't care so much if the physics of space is right or not so much, but I
love the game to be directly affected by my interaction with it's
environment. For example, having a direct affect on the economy by trading
or manufacturing. 

Am not 1 that likes or favours structured games. Whereby for example if you
get beyond a specific level you have to start doing other things. it's ok
for those things to become available, but equally it should be ok for you to
not do those things should you choose to. I like freedom of play. Whereby
you can effectively choose your own gaming experience within a particular
environment. 

Don't get me wrong, if you choose to build a space station, then obviously
that has a process you need to follow in order to build it successfully. But
the point is I chose to build it.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

Hey, That is why I was saying someone could change some of the stuff in 
the game so that they couldn't get in any trouble remaking the game.

They could change the name and take away a few things and add a few things.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

[Alfredo_The_Music_maker]

Well Anshan launch is similar to that, except you can actually build a 
same type of fuel but we have to be really smart for that. I once new 
someone who made a small rocket and launched a message into space, but 
that is for another list. What I think is that they have several buttons 
and keys to press down on the ground and the main one is like a pedal 
you press with your foot, I think that builds the pressure required for 
it to create the force that will push the ship up, then when they say 
launch sin process, the pedal that is pressed causes the engines to let 
go of the pressure and send up the ship so fast that if anything was in 
its way like a plane it would smash it to stoma  and everyone on board 
since it is going extremely fast.

Re: [Audyssey] Car sim?

[Jim Kitchen]

Hi Imbar,


From my web site;

wincart2.exe 10.2m bytes October 2009
I wrote Mach 1 tts specifically for my Logitech MOMO Racing steering wheel 
joystick.  It should work ok with other game controllers as well.  However some 
of the tracks may be very difficult if not impossible to drive via the keyboard.
In version 2 I have added, 6 car engine sounds to choose from, 3 wall sounds to 
choose from, fuel consumption, pit roads, speech options and other game options 
etc.
Note* you will need to disable your screen reader to play this game, unless you 
are using a joystick.

BTW The Geneva track is probably the easiest.  Then maybe the Maple Leaf 
Tri-Oval.

I hope that you might give it a try.

BFN

Jim

My steering wheel is a Logitech MOMO Racing.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

[Jim Kitchen]

Hi Imbar,

Yeah even though landing the shuttle is similar to landing a glider plane the 
launch is nothing like taking off in a plane.  You know in an airplane you 
crank up the engines, release the brakes and roll down the runway building up 
speed until you get to the correct speed to pull up and lift off of the ground. 
 You then ascend into the sky at what about a 30 degree angle.  Now the shuttle 
on the launch pad is standing vertically on it's tail attached to the huge 
external fuel tank.  So you are sitting on your back looking up into the sky.  
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and all five main engines fire up burning hydrogen and liquid 
oxygen.  At the same time the two solid rocket boosters ignite.  All hell 
brakes loose and you ascend almost vertically straight up into the sky at 
thousands of miles an hour.  But yeah as a shuttle sim it could be done as 
easily as an airplane sim.

BTW I do not think that I would so much enjoy weightlessness with no visual 
reference points, no gravity for reference etc.

BFN

Jim

I remember when Saturns were rockets, not cars.

well there is copywrite.

New laws coming in mean that any copywrited work is not able to be 
downloaded by me not sure how far it all spreads but it means that if 
its copywrited, just downloading gets you banned from the net and 
fined loads of cash.

No net for like ever probably.
In that environment its going to be almost impossible to do anything 
which is not legal or sold by the major companies.
Sooner or later we will have government based controls on the net and 
everything else.
Then the net will die and we can all go back to using disks and 
probably dos again.

Hi Shane,

Like I said nothing is definite. Right now I am working my way through
the Knights of the Old Republic series and there is some great stuff
in there as well. I'm working my way through Star Wars: Knights of the
Old Republic: Deceived and it is a great read. A game based on it
would be pretty cool. The main character, a female Jedi apprentice, is
perfect for a game heroine in my book. The Sith lord in the series
makes Darth Vader, Darth Cidious, etc look like wimps. Lol!

ISS and forgot to close it when we left. Checklists don't involve 
the fuel valves, so neither my pilot nor I received it... until I 
checked for caution and warning signs on the onboard computer and 
found out. Then it took me about another hour to find where that 
particular switch was... even on a shuttle knockup with braille 
labelling the switches, there's almost no surface aside from the 
seats and floors that are not covered with dials, switches, knobs,

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

I heard that grevis depending on what starwars fan production you 
here was a droid.
In fact another droid came after him in that production that vador 
later killed.

Hi Clement,

Right. Grevous's reflexes were better than average, but nowhere near a
Jedi's. In one of the Star Wars books I remember Count Dooku actually
commenting as much. Dooku told Grevous that if he ever had the
misfortune of fighting Mace Windu or even Yoda he wouldn't last a
minute. Of course, Obi-Wan ended up fighting him at the Battle of
Megeto and cyborg arms and machine reflexes wasn't enough to take on a
fully skilled Jedi Master, and Grevous ended up at the end of
Obi-Wan's light saber.

Re: [Audyssey] Happy Star Wars Day

hmmm
But what does that say about his later envolvement.
He became something else.
In fact before vador struck him he had already gone, so was he able 
to go to whatever when he wanted anyway and if vador killed him could 
actually stay there or just go and have no reason to return.
Depending on what you acutally listen to, the actual stories or npr, 
depending on what you here there are 2 versions.

At 11:55 a.m. 8/05/2011, you wrote:

Hi,

Maybe. Its more likely that Obi-Wan was just to old to fight as
effectively as he did in Revenge of the Sith. Remember 19 years had
passed between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars A New Hope. Obi-Wan
looked to be in his 60's or 70's by the time he met Vader again, and
he was probably physically weaker and slower than Vader, or he chose
to let himself get killed for reason x. Plus by the time A New Hope
had come along Anakin had fully become Darth Vader and probably had
learned a lot more about the dark side of the force than he did 19
years previously.

If you ask me the reason Luke Skywalker managed to fight and
eventually defeat Vader had nothing to do with skills or powers, but
Vader's emotional weakness. Say what you will about Darth Vader he
had really and truly loved Padme. That made him unable to kill his
only son, and his daughter as well. That emotional bond, although
distant, was enough to make him hold back and not fight as effectively
as he perhaps could have.

As it turns out in Return of the Jedi when Palpatine is trying to kill
Luke it was Darth Vader who grabs Palpatine by the throat and tosses
him into the reactor core. Apparently Vader's love for his son was
greater than the dark side and any loyalty he had to Palpatine.

It is apparent as early as Empire Strikes Back that Anakin, Darth
Vader, secretly hated Palpatine. In Revenge of the Sith, of course, we
find out why. Palpatine told Anakin if he turned to the dark side that
he'd insure Padme didn't die, but of course she does die and Anakin
goes into emotional melt down. Finding out that he had two children
who were alive and well went a long way to bring Anakin back from the
dark side and why he turned on Palpatine and threw him head long into
the Deathstar's reactor core.

Cheers!

 Seriously, shooting or at least some stratogy is needed.
 If you mean just fly round in the air doing not that much then get a

 Play for 30 minutes, then fall assleap.

Hi Ron,

Why couldn't we do a Shuttle launch? I have a friend who went to Space
Camp one year and she ended up being Shuttle Commander. They even let
her try as Shuttle pilot in the simulator which was cool. I think with
the right accessibility aids flying a space shuttle is no different
than any other aircraft. You just have to make sure to get the angles
right when taking off and landing or you will turn into a fireball.

Anyway, I would love a space shuttle simulator. I've always wanted to
fly one of the shuttles and it shouldn't be that hard to create. Just
need to get the right kind of actors to do for the communications
between the flight crew and NASA. As well as the flight crew and the
International Space Station etc.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

[shaun everiss]

well this reminds me of the nightjar but the apolo 13 mission could 
be interesting.

Same concept as the night jar, or slightly worse outcome.
Something like having an explosion send the ship into deep space for 
starters then the rest of actual game.
Ofcause with all the failing systems, and actually trying to get into 
earth, you could either be trying to get back, or evolve the plot, 
this could involve aliens both good and bad, etc.

ANd other things.
Eventually getting a better ship  than you got, then fixing things 
and going back.
You could have multipul endings maybe like a choose your own 
adventure story but it gets complex anyway.

Hi Darren,

Well, I don't want to sound negative, but my guess it is the technical
skills required to create a simulator that the ag developers lack.
Unlike a game a realistic flight simulator, space simulator, whatever
requires a pretty decent amount of physics and a whole lot of math to
make absolutely realistic. Something like MS Flight Simulator is very
realistic, is good enough to train pilots on, because it has a very
realistic physics engine that behaves much like the actual aircraft
does in real life. Its difficult for an amateur developer to do if
they don't have the technical background for it. Even I would have
difficulty of creating a completely realistic flight simulator as
physics and math weren't my best subjects in college. I got passing
grades, but nothing to write home about.

well Its a bit beyond our reach.
In the news it costs about 30 million to actually physically fly for a tourist.
For an astro you need to have 4 degrees in maths and other subjects 
and a load of other crap that none of us let alone any normal person 
not dedicated enough would be able to pass.


Even if we did, I am not sure in real life what blind astros could do.
Maybe opperate some of the less graphical systems, write things, etc 
but vary little.


I think right now any real chance of any of us going up in space is 
vertually nonexistant for now anyway.

In fact this applies for any disabled person.
Wheelchair people for instance wouldn't even fit inside things.
Not to mention going to the loo I here this is quite complex to.
And ofcause coming back to earth after your stay in space well 
getting used to gravity is a bit of a challenge.

develop a fully fledged sim.

Hi Ron,

Why couldn't we do a Shuttle launch? I have a friend who went to Space
Camp one year and she ended up being Shuttle Commander. They even let
her try as Shuttle pilot in the simulator which was cool. I think with
the right accessibility aids flying a space shuttle is no different
than any other aircraft. You just have to make sure to get the angles
right when taking off and landing or you will turn into a fireball.

Anyway, I would love a space shuttle simulator. I've always wanted to
fly one of the shuttles and it shouldn't be that hard to create. Just
need to get the right kind of actors to do for the communications
between the flight crew and NASA. As well as the flight crew and the
International Space Station etc.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

[shaun everiss]

There is an orbiter sim at www.orbitsim.com
Its a bit visual I am not sure if its free or opensource but 
sertainly loads of stuff has been written for it including 3rd party addons.

So that may be something to concider.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

[shaun everiss]

We could do the launching part, most of it is automated anyway.
In orbit sim which I played with a friend, you need to close all 
doors, power up all systems, check it all works, load fuel, then push 
the launch key and the computer does all the rest.


In fact in actual launch the crew doesn't have to do much its all 
controled by ground systems at least till you get in orbit and need 
to call out bits to the radil.

Landing on earth, maybe docking and undocking and burns are all we need to do.
And to be honest unless something goes wrong its not that bad.
Space walking after flying the shuttle to the station that could be 
interesting.
there could be challenges, Obviously the game can't continue for 
actual realtime gameplay, but things like staying in the airlock so 
you are aclimitised for  a spaciffic time, the fact you could float 
away, catch something ripp your suit, drop bags, radios, etc.
Get hands jammed in equipment and other things, could be interesting 
to say the least.

I have listened to spacwalks and they deffinately sound quite complex.
NOt to mention living on the station, eating food, moving round and 
doing excercise, sleeping, working with robotics, experiments and other things.

All are chalenging.

Re: [Audyssey] Space sims?

asteroids was totally boring.
I played the arcade version in inform some years back.
They tried to emulate it and the emulated games bar centiped sucked.
Missile command was totally crappy.
No matter where I went, I always ended up dead.
So either all those games were just crap by default or the blind 
can't play them or the implimentations were crap.
On that note we have a tank sim, a jet sim and with puppy1 a fighter 
gunner sim in ww2 maybe.

and that being arcade based.
