Re: [Audyssey] Duck Hunter Bobby's Revenge.
Hi Michael, Unfortunately no. I looked but I don't seem to have a setup for Duck Hunter on my backup drive. I did have Bobby's Revenge though, and that's why I put it up so quick. As far as Final Conflict I'm glad you like it. I'm rather eager to get version 2.0 out as it will be much better. However, with my other current projects taking up the majority of the time I've not had much time to devote to STFC these days. Cheers!

[Audyssey] #d Music
Hello gamers, after a 2-month difficulty with my web host, who insisted my site and email was up though it wasn't, I finally went back to my old email adress and got it up and running. Conseuently, I've missed a lot of the discussions, but I'm sure that in no time I'll have picked up from where I left off. I want to introduce yo to a whole new concept in audio games. The game is still in early beta, and is quite clunky due to my lack of knowlege concerning the best way to move objects in 3d space with directx 8. I know it can be done though, and I'm hoing to get some help on this. This is a freeware game called 3d music. In the next version, it'll be called Heywire, but it remains 3dmusic for this first testing round. One of 6 psychedelic songs are chosen at random, and it is your job to arrange the four speakers so that the music sounds good. Currently, only one configuration is accepted by the computer as a win, but that will change in future versions. Here's the link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43484895/3DMusic.zip There is no docuentation, but I'll give you the run down of how to play. Keystrokes: e, d, s, f: move the left speakers up, down, left, and right respectively. I, k, j, l: move the right speakers up, down, left and right respectively. Alternatively, you can use the mouse to move the speakers. Click the left button to select the left speakers, and the right button to select the right speakers. By default, the left speakers are selected. Press enter to select between moving the front speakers and the rear speakers. Front speakers are selected by default. To attempt a win, press the space bar. Any axis for any speaker that is lined up properly will be locked in, and you will no longer be able to move the locked speaker along that axis. For example, if the left front speaker is the correct dstance to the left of you, and you press space, you will lock its x axis down and no longer be able to move it from left to right, though ou can still move it frontwards and backwards. Alternatively, you can double click a mouse button to perform this lockdown function. Sometimes it's hard to hear where a speaker is at, so you can audibly trace the wire that leads to the speaker in question. Press a, ;, z, and slash to check on the front left, front right, rear left, and rear right speakers respectively. When you lock down all four speakers, you win the level and go to the next one. The speakers tend to drift a bit this way and that, and as the levels increase, so does the speed at which the speakers drift. To temporarily lock down the speakers, press t. To unlock them again, press t. To mute the speakers, press g, h, b, and n for front left, front right, rear left and rear right respectively. I know there will be bugs, but remember this is a very early beta. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Python and Interactive Fiction Games by Thomas Ward Feb. 14, 2012 For about a year I have been searching for the best language to develop classic interactive text adventures like Zork, Arthur, Hitch Hikers to the Galaxy, and various other famous games that have been developed by interactive fiction companies and authors over the years. When it comes to writing interactive fiction there is a large variety of tools, languages, and interpreters available for an author to work with. We have specific text adventure authoring systems such as Adrift, Inform 7, and Tads as well as all the other traditional programming languages like C or C++ to choose from. The only problem was I couldn't find a language that had the right balance of ease of use but the ability to build extremely complex worlds and handle a lot of stats. So while there were many options I felt there was no middle ground which I'll explain in more detail below. However, Python seems to fit all of my requirements because its easy to use, is cross-platform, and is able to build extremely complex worlds and handle a lot of stat checks and so on. None of the other choices seemed to fit all of the requirements I was looking for. For example, I started my quest with the Adrift 4.0 Generator and Runner. To be fair it is a nice adventure system, and getting up and running with a basic text adventure is fairly straight forward and easy. The Generator allows the developer to bring up a simple dialog box and then he or she can enter the required information into various edit fields as well as check and uncheck attributes using standard checkboxes. This makes creating adventures very easy as there is no programming involved and it is a tool clearly designed for the layman. Unfortunately, its this simplicity and ease of use that I also found problematic and undesirable for my own work. Having used full blown programming languages for roughly a decade I found that Adrift didn't give me nearly the flexibility and control over the game that I wanted. I couldn't integrate a d20 stats system, nor could I write custom AI for various enemies in the game. It was simply too generic for what I had in mind for my text adventures. Another problem I found with Adrift is while the Generator and Runner are designed for the Windows operating system environment it wasn't fully supported on non-Windows platforms. The Scare interpreter is a cross-platform Adrift Runner for Mac, Linux, and Windows, but lacked many features available in the Windows Adrift Runner such as a fully operational combat system. As a result only some Adrift adventures were fully compatible with Scare, and there was no Linux or Mac Adrift creation tools that I could find. It made Adrift adventures less than fully cross-platform compatible which was another of my requirements. To compound the issue Adrift Generator is not freeware. As a result I would be paying for software that didn't really fit all of my personal requirements where other text adventure systems are open source or freeware. So it wasn't a good financial investment for me. So I turned to Inform 7 which has a huge base of supporters and developers, and seemed like a good alternative to Adrift. I have to say my experience with Inform was also mixed. It definitely was more cross-platform because the Inform development tools are available for Windows, Linux, and Mac and the free Frotz interpreter is available for just about any platform I could name. Plus interpreters like Winfrotz TTS is an added bonus because all of the text messages are automatically read aloud by Sapi compatible voices on Windows. However, in the end Inform wasn't so golden either. Although, Inform is a programming language I found it is too abstract. In attempting to make the language for non-programmers to understand I found it too verbose, and over simplistic in cases. To create a vampire you might type The vampire is a Man which creates a vampire object using the Man class in the body of your script. The problem here is that Inform only has about 16 default classes to choose from, and I'd prefer to do something like Man vampire which is the traditional way programmers declare new objects in code. In short, while I found Inform much better supported, better designed than something like Adrift, I simply did not like the language itself. Over the next few months I spent time looking at Tads, Hugo, etc. One by one I tried them, didn't like them for one reason or another, and then chose not to use them. After a while I was convinced if I wanted something more advanced I was going to have to basically write it myself in C or C++ which wouldn't be ideal given the time and complexity involved in writing my custom adventure system from scratch. However, before I got that far I decided what I really needed was a scripting language which falls somewhere between a full blown programming language and the text adventure languages. Scripting languages such as TCL, Perl,

Re: [Audyssey] Python and Interactive Fiction
Hi Dave, Yes, unfortunately, Python still requires that you use proper indention rules when writing software. That's pretty much how it gets away without using braces, brackets, and all the other trappings of C/C++ by defining blocks of code based on indention and proper spacing. That said, once you learn how to properly format your code eventually it becomes second nature to you. I guess in that respect I'm fortunate that I learned to format code properly a long time ago, and have been doing it in Java, C++, Visual Basic, you name it for what seems like forever. After a while its so automatic to me that the fact Python absolutely requires me to indent this statement one or two tabs is nothing new. I think when it comes to Python programming NVDA has the upperhand because when you have it enabled NVDA will announce your tabbed indention as you write your code. It lets you hear how many times this or that line has been indented with the tab key so you can determine if you have indented it faar enough or not. Then, if you have access to a braille display that is even better because you can follow the formatting in braille. I don't have a braille display myself, but I've heard people who prefer programming with one for that very reason. Of course, Python is by no means the only option available here. Its merely the one I liked best. Perl is equally up to writing text adventures too, and it has a C style syntax for those people looking for a more C/C++ look and feel to the language. If indenting is an issue something like Perl might be a better substitute. Although, I haven't used Perl in so long I'm not even sure what game specific APIs and libraries are out there for Perl these days. :D Anyway, bottom line, there are quite a lot of scripting languages available Python, Perl, Ruby, Jython, TCL, etc. I'm sure if one isn't sutible there is probably another one that will suit. Its just that Python has pretty much become the adopted scripting language of choice among open source developers, and there is quite a bit of interest in creating games in Python these days. Since PyGame came out, which is a Python wrapper for SDL, there have been a number of free games for Linux produced in Python and PyGame. Python has in its own way become the Visual Basic of the open source world in large part because it was designed from the ground up to target new programmers with little to no experience. Plus SDL has always had a very simple design, that's why it is called Simple Direct Media Layer, and PyGame actually makes it even simpler. Its for reasons like that I've been turning more and more to Python for any kind of open source development I do. My game Star Trek: Final Conflict was initially written in C++, then was rewritten in C# .NET, and the new version has been written in Python. In part because I want it to run on Linux, but I must confess the fact it is simpler than either to use and speeds up development time its preferable to the commercial programming languages. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Python and Interactive Fiction
Hi tom. hal will read number of tabs at the start of lines too, though i will confess it's a feature I've never bothered to use, and the way I have the verbosity of Hal setup to read what I've written tabs are not read by default unless I specifically use the read line key, though this could be easily changed. Jason alan once said something about writing entombed Ii in python, and including editer functions so that people could add stuff to the game, but was concerned about screen readers and reading tabs for this reason, but a couple of experiments showed it was quite possible even if you had to monkey with settings a little.

Its merely the one I liked best. Perl is equally up to writing text adventures too, and it has a C style syntax for those people looking for a more C/C++ look and feel to the language. If indenting is an issue something like Perl might be a better substitute. Although, I haven't used Perl in so long I'm not even sure what game specific APIs and libraries are out there for Perl these days. :D Anyway, bottom line, there are quite a lot of scripting languages available Python, Perl, Ruby, Jython, TCL, etc. I'm sure if one isn't sutible there is probably another one that will suit. Its just that Python has pretty much become the adopted scripting language of choice among open source developers, and there is quite a bit of interest in creating games in Python these days. Since PyGame came out, which is a Python wrapper for SDL, there have been a number of free games for Linux produced in Python and PyGame. Python has in its own way become the Visual Basic of the open source world in large part because it was designed from the ground up to target new programmers with little to no experience. Plus SDL has always had a very simple design, that's why it is called Simple Direct Media Layer, and PyGame actually makes it even simpler. Its for reasons like that I've been turning more and more to Python for any kind of open source development I do. My game Star Trek: Final Conflict was initially written in C++, then was rewritten in C# .NET, and the new version has been written in Python. In part because I want it to run on Linux, but I must confess the fact it is simpler than either to use and speeds up development time its preferable to the commercial programming languages.
