Re: [Audyssey] Help with a Mac
Hi. I'm guessing this problem is unrelated to the fact it's running on a mac, especially since it's running directly on a boot camp partition. My guess is that winkit wasn't installed, or somehow didn't get the visual c++ runtimes installed. I think I got it right. Also he will probably need to run them as administrator or turn off user account control. There is an alternative download for those visual runtimes directly from microsoft and you can get a somewhat direct link to them by going to the downloads link on qwitter-client.net. I've encountered this problem before with other vb6 programs and this is how I fix them. That said I'm not saying I'm certain this is Josh's problem, but It is worth a try.

Re: [Audyssey] recovering game information
Jim and Thomas, Python is not the only alternative. The nice thing about linux is that you can install what you want to use and use it as you wish. There is a basic-type language called free basic, which has similarities to visual basic and works on windows, linux and mack. Jim, there is a virsion for windows and it is still being actively developed and supported. Using extrenal libraries for speech or sound is also not that complecated. Go look at http://www.freebasic.net/ On 7/4/2011 3:46 AM, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Jim, I'm afraid not. The Basic programming languages never really were that popular with Unix and Linux developers.

I think that is due to the fact Linux has never really been popular with the average home user or amateur programmer like yourself.

As I mentioned above Python is fairly easy to learn, and you can do quite a lot with Python these days.

Hi Thomas, I have been programming in one Basic IDE or another for over thirty years.

Re: [Audyssey] BASIC programming language for linux
Hi, Yeah, they are not too clear on the specific graphics toolkits etc they are using with this thing. My guess is given that it is a cross-platform IDE they are using a generic graphics toolkit like WX Widgets which is somewhat accessible, but when it comes to screen reading technology and maximum accessibility it is always better to use a native graphics toolkit for the OS. For Windows that is the Windows API, for Linux GTK+, and on Mac OS that would be Cocoa. Right now Orca, the Linux screen reader, has mixed results with WX based applications. Something like Audacity works, but isn't accessible as it could be just because it doesn't use GTK+ etc like it should for maximum accessibility. I would think we would encounter something similar with an app like Real Basic which is in all likelyhood not developed with accessibility in mind.

Hi, I have to agree with Valiant. The issue is most likely do to a missing Windows dependency rather than the fact Windows 7 is running on a Mac on a Boot Camp partition.

Re: [Audyssey] Help with a Mac
Hi Jim, Might I throw one more suggestion at you. Josh specified he was running Windows 7 64, but didn't state if his version of XP is 32 bit or 64 bit. This might be a critical detail as I know I'm having issues with 64 bit machines as I only have access to 32 bit software and libraries, but when I released some betas of MOTA we've had some issues on 64 bit platforms. Its possible because your games are designed for a 32 bit environment they have issues on a 64 bit platform.

In Hal, it's possible to switch the onscreen read language without the one used in the control panel and for Hal's own functions and names of controls etc. There is even a hotkey, ctrl period and comma to cycle through available on screen languages. This is why it's so easy for me to read the pronunciation of words to songs in Italian or German, even though i don't speak either of those languages, sinse I just hit ctrl period a few times to get into that language, then hit a few times more to go back to English. Actually, one thing I'm thinking of doing when i've finished my phd is taking a basic module in spoken Italian to improve my singing, and this feature of Hal would be really useful at that point, sinse I'd have no worries about messing up my entire screen reader interface and could just flick in and out of what I need to read as needed.

Its a comercial product, expected to cost $35.00 USD when finished, and it is currently in beta stage. That means that the demo we have is a test build, is buggy, and is only a sample of what the final product will be like.

Re: [Audyssey] an enquiry
Hi, And since we are talking about free games. Let's not forget the USA Games website http://www.usagamesinteractive.com has a number of free and abandoned games for download. I'm still putting that stuff back up, being the holiday weekend I haven't gotten it all done, but it is an excellent resource for someone looking for totally free games for Windows.

Re: [Audyssey] My Decision Regarding Voice Output
Hi Charles, Smile. I like Scansoft Tom better myself. For that reason I'm thinking of zipping up the Tom speech directory and posting it with beta 21 for anyone who would prefer him instead of Heather. It seems to me to be the easiest solution for the issue. Cheers! On 6/28/11, Charles Rivard wrote: > Shoot. Ah, well, it's your creation. I like Tom better, but he's a > personal choice.

Re: [Audyssey] My Decision Regarding Voice Output
Good idea. I'll be grabbing it. A thought: Will the contents of this .zip file replace? or will they become a second voice to use. Having a selection would be a cool option. This is merely an idea. If it isn't implemented, that's OK, too. In either case, I'll be using the .zip file, and appreciate it's availability. It shows that you're interested in customer satisfaction, which you have always done. Thanks. --- "Security is not the absence of danger.

Re: [Audyssey] Help with a Mac
Hi. It's possible there are problems related to that, but it also works well if everything is right. I have a Toshiba and an HP both of which run 7 x64 and I can run any of the Kitchens Inc games with no problems at all. Jim I think someone already mentioned this, but Josh can try putting your games in his documents folder or somewhere similarly associated directly with his user account and running them from there to see if that works better. He can also hit the context key on the .exe file for your game and choose troubleshoot compatibility. If he messes around in there long enough I'm banking he'll probably get it to go. Me I run with UAC turned completely off. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone though, I'm just saying that might be part of what is making things work nicer for me than perhaps others. Putting the games in the documents folder might possibly help to get around the problems UAC can introduce with older programs that aren't aware of how to operate in a UAC environment. As it is, I have a program or two which are older and not maintained but which I use very often. Also those programs need to run from the program files folder instead of program files x86 even though they aren't x64 programs. Me personally I keep on having problems where UAC has a weird way of blocking things from happening inside the program files folder but doesn't prompt me the user to allow it. What ends up happening is sort of cleaver, but it's very annoying and hard to work around. The files changed by the program in question appear only for that program. Indeed if you open a fie inside program files with a program and then save it, you get another copy of that file which that program will be the only one that can access. You can't even find it if you go to windows explorer. I worked for a couple of days trying to work around this and he best solutions were running the program as admin which brings up a UAC prompt every time you start the program or turning UAC all the way off which is what I have done. At least I haven't got large piles of sensetive data on my computer and I have an easy way to restore it as I have already had to do once. I still run security essentials and keep the windows firewal turned on at least. Sent with Thunderbird 3.1.11 portable. Enough 1s?

Re: [Audyssey] My Decision Regarding Voice Output
Hi Charles, The zip file containing the files for Scansoft Tom will simply update and replace the existing speech files in the speech directory. As you might understand making the game so you could switch between voices would require a massive amount of work having it figure out what voice is being used and then loading the proper file from the specific voice directory etc. If I were going to do something like that I'd be better off ripping out the existing speech code and replace it with Sapi which I've already decided not to do. This way is just as effective and easier to do from a developmental standpoint. Smile. On 7/4/11, Charles Rivard wrote: > Good idea. I'll be grabbing it.
