Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Hi Lori, As others have said with a laptop touch pad all you have to do is slide your finger left or right over the pad to turn left/right, and I think w walks forward, and s walks backward. Although, laptop touch pads are usable like a lot of others I find it a bit easier to use a physical USB mouse rather than a touch pad. However, a laptop touch pad is certainly usable with a little practice.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
you move when you press your right mouse button and you turn with your touch pad s will move you back and a will side stip you to the left and d will side stip your to the right using shift with a or d will turn you to your nearest compus derection. Just play around with it and you will catch on. The touch pad is not that bad.

Re: [Audyssey] learning how to write games
Hi Laurel, Well, its different for every person out here, and its possible to teach yourself to program and write games. If you pay for a service such as http://safari.oreilly.com you can pay to read college level programming books on a variety of programming languages, game design, and specific topics like artificial intelligence, and so on. However, I will warn you that it can get expensive using a service like Safari, but is much cheaper than paying for college level courses that will essentially teach you the same thing. As for myself I attended a college, Wright State University, where I took a number of computer science courses on C++, Java, Visual Basic, and SQL. After leaving college I used Safari to update my programming skills by reading books on Python, C#.NET, VB.NET, DirectX, artificial intelligence, and basic game design and programming. So my education was pretty extensive before I actually sat down and wrote my first audio game. That said, my aim was to get a degree in computer science so I could enter the work force as a professional programmer. I had hoped to get a decent paying job with Microsoft, IBM, or some other well known software company making $60,000 a year. that didn't happen, and the kind of education I had isn't necessary for an independent game developer who wants to create games on the side as a hobby. Today there are some much easier and less expensive ways to program games. You can try an all purpose game engine like Philip Bennefall's BGT which contains all of the basics such as DirectInput, SAPI, DirectSound, etc all wrapped by a light weight scripting language known as Angelscript. It is a good entry language to programming, and is much simpler than picking up an all purpose programming language like C++, Java, or Visual Basic and having to learn it with DirectX, SAPI, and everything else you need. However, if you are seeking a more semi-professional education in programming to write games as well as other applications I think that http://safari.oreilly.com is the best place to get started. They have hundreds of books that you can read online in your web browser for about $50 a month. You can go as fast or as slow as you want, and essentially get a college level education in programming by using the same textbooks used by students and professional programmers. Last but not least, I am working on building a developers website that will teach new game developers to program games from a beginner level and slowly work up to more advanced topics. There isn't much here yet but http://developers.usagamesinteractive.com will hopefully soon be a low cost resource for people like yourself who wants to get into game programming at the entry level. Right now I am busy just uploading tools, APIs, and other software required by a developer, but I'm also working on tutorials I haven't uploaded to the website yet. Cheers! On 1/30/12, Laurel laurel.stock...@gmail.com wrote: Hey, I have a question for those of you who write games and all. How did you learn how to write the games that you have created? For example, how did you learn the computer coding languages you needed, and how to build your game from an idea to an actual game.

I have several ideas I'd love to work on, but I really don't even know where to begin. /smiles/ Laurel and Stockard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] learning how to write games
Hi Laurel, In 1980 I bought a Texas Instruments 99 4a home computer. I typed in the programming examples from the manual that came with it. I then experimented with the source code trying to figure out what each command did and how to change it to do what I wanted it to do. I just have done the same thing every since. So that is how I have learned to program games. Well experimenting with sample code that I have found as well as getting help from other programmers such as Phil Vlasak, David Greenwood, Allen Maynerd etc. Today I would probably recommend BGT to a new person that wished to try to learn to create games. As I say to those people though. You have to learn how to take baby steps before you can run with creating games. And it is slow and frustrating when you have a game idea, but you have to learn the steps, that is the command code lines to do all of the things that you need to do to create games. The blind accessible games that I have created over the years and are on my web site are; Awesome Homer, Baseball, BattleShip, Black Jack, Bop It, Concentration, coupling, Craps, Draw Poker, Football, Golf, Hangman, Homer on a Harley, Life, Mach 1, Mach 1 tts, Master Mind, Monopoly, Pong, Puppy1, Reaction, Roulette, Simon, Skunk, Slot Machine, Snakes and Ladders, Spanker, Star Mule, Triple J Shooter, Trivia game engine, Trucker, Yahtzee Braille reference guide, Brain, Reader, Waver, Batting practice, Golf course maker, monopoly board maker BFN Jim I like Visual Basic 6.0 because I can not C. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] SmartEditor. Was: Re: Writing code.
Hi Thomas, That is very cool that you can simulate in BGT what I do in VB6. I also like in VB6 that I can put the cursor on a command, press f1 and f6, and get the syntax, explanation and examples of that command. And of course it all works great with JFW 4.02. BFN - Original Message - Hi Jim, Actually, you can simulate this behavior with BGT. BGT scripts do not actually have to be compiled to run. You can keep the source open in Notepad, and run the script in BGT looking for errors at the same time. If you get an error message you can use the goto command to jump to the line where the error is, fix it, and rerun the script. Its similar to what you already do in Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic .NET as far as running the program in the debugger.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Hi Thomas, I've just tried swamp again, and when I'm pressing my left and right mouse buttons nothing seems to happen, but when I move my finger over the pad the sounds do seem to change, and I find I'm starting to hear someone shouting out orders, and other sounds. I still don't hear any footstep sounds, not even when I try shift d or any of the other keys. I want to get the hang of this, as the sounds sound very good and the music I like too. What I might do is see if I can get a usb mouse from somewhere, just to try it out.

The way the mouse works in standard Windows applications and the way it works in games is completely different. In standard Windows applications you need some sight to use the mouse because the mouse is used to move a cursor around the screen to click on buttons, menus, icons, etc. This is generally what most people think of when you mention using a mouse. However, this doesn't apply to games, because they use a totally different interface. In games a mouse is no different from any other input device like a keyboard or joystick. there is no cursor to move around and point and click on things. Instead the game developer maps commands like walk forward to mouse forward, walk back to mouse backward, turn left to mouse left, turn right to mouse right, etc. This does not require any sight at all, because when you move the mouse the audio environment is updated to match the movement of the mouse. Make sense? For instance, let's use Troopenum as an example. Let's say you could use a mouse in that game. If you pulled the mouse left you would move left in the game world, and when you pull the mouse right you would move right in the game world. Pressing left click would fire your laser. Essentially, the mouse would react like a joystick and not a mouse.

The way the mouse works in standard Windows applications and the way it works in games is completely different. In standard Windows applications you need some sight to use the mouse because the mouse is used to move a cursor around the screen to click on buttons, menus, icons, etc. This is generally what most people think of when you mention using a mouse. However, this doesn't apply to games, because they use a totally different interface. In games a mouse is no different from any other input device like a keyboard or joystick. there is no cursor to move around and point and click on things. Instead the game developer maps commands like walk forward to mouse forward, walk back to mouse backward, turn left to mouse left, turn right to mouse right, etc. This does not require any sight at all, because when you move the mouse the audio environment is updated to match the movement of the mouse. Make sense? For instance, let's use Troopenum as an example. Let's say you could use a mouse in that game. If you pulled the mouse left you would move left in the game world, and when you pull the mouse right you would move right in the game world. Pressing left click would fire your laser. Essentially, the mouse would react like a joystick and not a mouse. Therefore you don't really need sight to play the game because the same commands that the developer could map to a keyboard or joystick can be mapped to the mouse too. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] medieval weapons
A short sword was about a pound and a half, a standard arming sword (what we call a longsword in our misconception) was about five, katana were about that much, great swords were about ten or fifteen, once steel was involved. Armor was either chain, plate, or leather-based, plate is widely misconceived. There was heavy plate, but most of it was really not as thick as we often think. Most plate was really quite thin and used to deflect slashes with other armor underneath, so plate suits could be as light as thirty pounds. There were heavy heavy suits, but they fell out of popularity for the reasons you all are mentioning. The trouble is that real armor and weapons don't balance well for game or interest purposes. I am guilty of this, myself, but really, there were good melee weapons and bad ones, and many weapons just aren't meant to be balanced, no matter what I or developers or movie-goers might wish. Essentially, I don't doubt that there were forty pound swords, but they were surely not common, and claymores and great swords were usually half that at most. I hope I'm not seeming arrogant, and I'm honestly writing this while somewhat distracted, so this may seem discombobulated.

[Audyssey] Swamp testing server, version 3
Hey guys, It's been a few days since I've been around. I had a really rough weekend and spent Saturday night until Monday night sicker than I have been in many years. Apparently I picked up some sort of virus that had me really messed up. I'm not better yet but I am feeling about a million times better than I was, haha! The delay slowed down me releasing the next testing version, so here it is! Just as before, you will need to have Kai's testing sound pack although I'm sure most of you already have it if you were playing on the testing server before. www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/Swamptest3.zip It still has a way to go but I've made some changes and tried to fix a few things. The blank missions shouldn't show up now but it hasn't really been tested. The rewards for the missions has been scaled differently and now they should properly give the amounts they say they will. Some of the stat points were changed. Chain saw mastery is different and both of the sniper skills were changed. I didn't get around to changing the vulcan minigun's skills yet but I plan to. The missions are still pretty much the same, but I have adjusted a few things. For starters I think I may have fixed the issue of supply crates not always showing up. It was super rate to begin with, but I think it's solved. The warehouse has a few more windows placed around the outside walls. To keep things more interesting, the order that things break has now been randomized to some extent. It's not truly random but by adding in variation it will prevent things from being to easy to predict. Mini missions, or quests, have been added finally. They work in both maps although the first map has far more available. From the safe zone you can spend 25 reputation to accept a quest and the reward is 250 reputation when you return and donate the item. All mini mission items will be found inside of a building but you won't know exactly where. The panic and looting that took place when the zombies first arrived has left every building a complete mess, so you will need to look around. Also, an item you are asked to find might be something that 2 or 3 places would sell. When this happens, you won't know which of the businesses it has been hidden in and you may have to check them all before you finally find it. If you can't find your item or really don't like the one you've been asked to find, you can just pay 25 more reputation to get a new quest. Leaving the game will not save your mini mission or any quest items you're carrying, so make sure you donate them first. Also, changing maps will cause you to lose your current mini mission.

Please go into that folder and: 1. Find the change log text file, called Changelog.txt, and give that a good read, you will note more recent improvements and how they effect the game and how to control those certain actions. 2. You might want to open and look at the key config file, called keyconfig.ini. This gives you a detailed version of what each key does, and if you don't like that one, just change it there. Be sure to save the file upon exiting if you make any changes. If you don't like the changes, delete the file and when you run the game the next time, it will create the file again with the default keys. 3. Find the sounds folder. Go into that and listen to each wave file. This way you know what you are hearing. While in the game, stand inside the safe zone. Walk around a bit, and test out your keys before venturing outside .

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Hi, You should hear footsteps when pressing the right mouse button unless a wall is blocking your way, if so pressing S should make you walk backwards and again you should hear footsteps.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Hi Richard, thanks for your help, I have managed to get the game working again bu downloading it again from scratch, not sure why it wouldn't work before, maybe I messed up something in the config file, but it seems alright now. The only thing now is when I exit the game and go back into it again, I'm sometimes asked to extract the files again, then replace all. It's odd as I extract them to the swamp folder on my desktop, so nut sure why it keeps wanting me to re-do it. Anyway I'm impressed with the sounds in this game and like how you can hear other players shooting, also the ` key doesn't seem to work, but I'm going to download the new version, en case I had an older version by a mistake.

That is the part talking about a injured friend. Ignore that section. Here are some helpful suggestions: When you extracted the game, it should have created a folder named swamp. Please go into that folder and: 1. Find the change log text file, called Changelog.txt, and give that a good read, you will note more recent improvements and how they effect the game and how to control those certain actions. 2. You might want to open and look at the key config file, called keyconfig.ini. This gives you a detailed version of what each key does, and if you don't like that one, just change it there. Be sure to save the file upon exiting if you make any changes. If you don't like the changes, delete the file and when you run the game the next time, it will create the file again with the default keys. 3. Find the sounds folder. Go into that and listen to each wave file. This way you know what you are hearing. While in the game, stand inside the safe zone. Walk around a bit, and test out your keys before venturing outside .

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Hi Lori, Sure. I understand where you were coming from. Unfortunately, the mouse has been given a bad reputation, because of previous bad experiences like yours. What a lot of blind computer users fail to realize until its explained to them that their bad experience is not due to the mouse itself, but how the programmer chose to program the mouse in his/her application that causes the issue with accessibility. Here is a valid case in point. A lot of blind users probably have never used a mouse to point and click on items in Windows applications. That's because some screen readers like Jaws do not track the physical mouse pointer, and use a virtual mouse cursor, the Jaws Cursor, instead. However, that doesn't mean the mouse couldn't be 90% to 100% accessible for a blind user too. On Linux, for example, the Orca screen reader has an option to track the mouse that can be enabled in preferences. Once a Linux user does that they can freely move the mouse around on the screen and Orca will tell them what is under the mouse such as buttons, panels, program launchers, checkboxes, and so on. It takes a little bit of practice to get use to, but in the Gnome graphical environment for Linux I've been able to use the mouse to move to the main panel, click on a program launcher, and start Firefox, Thunderbird, whatever without even touching the keyboard. Which goes to show its not the mouse to blame but how its program and how access technology supports it.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Actually the Tomb raider games are 3rd person perspective instead of first person perspective. It's a small difference but the control methods were usually set up a little different between those styles of games. I actually have had several people say that mainstream first person shooter games use W as forward instead of the right mouse button. I know people aren't actually trying to argue, but I do find it a little funny. Some FPS games have shipped with W as the default over the years, but even some have shipped with the up arrow as default. What I'm focused most on is what became the control scheme overwhelmingly adopted by players for each game's online base of players. In all of these games, the right mouse button remained forever the king, haha.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Yeah, Jeremy is right about the right mouse button thing. I didn't realize the standard had changed so much since my days of Doom, Quake and so forth, but there is definately some merit in being able to use that left hand for doing things in conjunction with moving forward with the right hand. Personally, I have mapped forward to the space bar, but that is the cool thing about the keys.ini file, you can adjust it any way you want. Its too bad more developers aren't playing swamp. there is a lot to be learned here, from the way the AI is working, to the best quality sounds I've ever heard in an audio game. Even if I didn't care for the style of game, I'd be playing swamp just to immerse myself in a game done at top quality from the bottom to the top. Don't forget to support the effort by sending a few bucks to help the cause at Jeremys site: http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/ You can donate with pay pal or a credit card and its totally secure. I mention the donation thing because I want jeremy to keep making excellent cutting edge games for us, and showing our appreciation with cold hard cash is one way to do that.

I tried it out, found I didn't really care for the game, and stopped playing it. So my experience is limited to a few hours of playing it in single player mode. The reason I thought w walked forward and s walked backward is that is a typical FPS setup for mainstream games. Jedi Knight, a lot of the newer Tomb Raider games, as well as a few others I could name allowed you to walk forward/backward with w/s and you could turn etc with the mouse. So that's the source of my slight confusion. On 1/31/12, Kelvin Tan k...@weiliankelvin.com wrote: hi thomas.

[Audyssey] Swamp needs new voice volunteers
I've been meaning to post a new request for voice volunteers! As you all know, the current voices for Swamp have been very good and have served the game well thus far. The problem is, now that the game is growing there is a larger list of phrases needed and that means the old voices will need to be thrown away. The volunteers for the old voices are certainly welcome to record new ones, but even old phrases would need to be re recorded so that everything has the same sound. The list is long but here is what we are looking for. First off, please try to record these with the nicest microphone you have and with the least amount of background noise. Kai has asked that all of these phrases be recorded as 1 long sound file so that he can more easily work on it. There are a series of phrase categories that we need, followed by a few examples. The examples are not exactly what you need to say! I already expect that 90% of people will send in these exact phrases word for word, but we are actually hoping to get a bit of variety to reflect different people. The examples are to help you think up your own, but you can use the examples if they are actually what you'd want to say. We are looking for 3 messages for each of the phrase categories so that the best 1 or 2 from each can be used. If a voice doesn't have at least 1 good phrase from each category then it can't be used, so that's why it's worth the extra effort to have everyone record 3. Name for your voice: 1 or 2 words to distinguish your voice in the menu list. Greeting: Hello, salutations, Well met Ammo crisis: I need to reload Beckon: Over here, This way, On me Brag (after a kill): Take that, Who da man, Ooh, what a mess, target is down Confirmation: Affirmative, Got it, Lets do it, Ten Four Negative: That's a negative, I don't think so, No thanks Follow: Follow me, On my mark, This way Give Help: I've got your back, I got ya, I'll guard you Report: Mission complete, Success, Objective met Seek Help: Cover me, Watch my back, I could use a hand Stay: Stay here, Hold this position, Wait here taunt: Come on, Die ugly, Eat lead! Warning: Watch out, heads up, Be careful Battle cry: Lets go!, Lets do it!, Lets rock! Ready: Ready, I'm set, Here Hold: Wait for me, I'm coming, one sec Pressure: Hurry up, Go go go!, get the lead out Death warning: Man down!, we lost someone, we're taking casualties! Help: Help!, Medic!, I'm being overrun! In pain: If possible we'd like 3 sounds to represent being in pain. These aren't the death screams but rather the pain noises to let others hear that you are being attacked. Hint, pain grunts are rather short, haha. Just as before, Kai and I will determine how many voices will be included and we will pick that number from the submitted recordings. In advance I'd like to thank all who submit voices, and I hope that no one is upset if their own voice doesn't end up in the game for whatever reason. Please know that it won't be meant as anything personal. Hopefully after these submissions we will have a more expressive set of voices as well as some female voices, which have been needed for quite some time. Thanks once again!

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp needs new voice volunteers
How soon do you need these in- or rahter, when's the deadline? I'm suffering from a bit of a flu atm, and while this grants my voice a certain...character...I'd like to wait a few days before recording. My girlfriend also expressed interest, but we won't be able to record her till I see her on the weekend. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Hi, Yeah, I know Tomb Raider is technically a third-person game, but because I can't see the screen I tend to lump it in with the first-person games because the mechanics are similar. Anyway, I simply wanted to point out I have played a number of mainstream games where w moves the character forward and s moves the character back, and since I haven't played swamp in a while I just assumed it used similar keyboard commands as other FPS and third-person games I have played in the passed. Sorry, about my mistake. Guess I should refresh my memory before opening my mouth and inserting my foot. Cheers!

It's a small difference but the control methods were usually set up a little different between those styles of games.

I know people aren't actually trying to argue, but I do find it a little funny. Some FPS games have shipped with W as the default over the years, but even some have shipped with the up arrow as default. What I'm focused most on is what became the control scheme overwhelmingly adopted by players for each game's online base of players. In all of these games, the right mouse button remained forever the king, haha. I feel a little bad even bringing this up because I don't want anyone to think I'm offended by those comments or trying to defend myself. I just felt like taking a different approach at explaining what I had originally meant. I'm sure that many people on the list have played mainstream FPS games before they lost their sight and it's possible that the ones they played all happened to use w for walking. I took a few minutes to think about it and I came up with 47 first person computer games I've played.

Hi Steady, Watch the flaming. That insult was totally uncalled for. I've already apologized to the list for my mistake. If that's not good enough for you that's just too bad.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp question
Ahh Jeremy. I hate to be one of the exceptions to the rule. Since I've never had sight myself, I have only played fps games that use the console controllers - with the help of my dad and others. But I personally dislike having one mouse button for walking and one for firing - personally I'd say reload should be right mouse button and reassign the walking to something else...
