Re: [Audyssey] A question related to RTS games
Thanx guys! @ John: Iam looking for games which come closer to soundRTS in stretegy vise and to castaways in management vise. and yes T.O.C. and T.B.(Tectical Battle) are one of my favourites but still I feel that there's something missing about other games: I have checked the games John suggested, they are present at aprone's website, right? but still they dont come close. about Galaxy ranger: I think that I might check it out and if it also does not appears as I want, then I think that I may send another E-mail, asking for pointers on devveloping one of my own. sorry guys but bordem is getting upto me. with best regards Mohsin(Eagalon) - If you cant find a path ahead, and you dont want to return back then. you need to make a path of your own.(unonimus) -- On 8/17/13, john wrote: > Thank you for mentioning TOC; I have no idea how I missed that > one. > > - Original Message - > From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Date sent: Sat, 17 Aug 2013 12:06:11 -0400 > Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A question related to RTS games > > Hi, > > Sure can.

Re: [Audyssey] A question related to RTS games
Hi, Sadly, RTS games are one genre with which the blind community isn’t overly familiar. The only other example I can think of is Galaxy Ranger, which is sort of RTS but has a few arcade elements. Lone Wolf isn’t quite what you’re looking for either, it’s a submarine simulation which, though it can be very strategic, isn’t unit-focused. I’d say Time of Conflict isn’t an RTS either. It’s turn-based, though I suppose they can go quickly enough if you like. Still, not quite the same reflexes required. All the best, Zack.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice:cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java
Hi John, That is the basic concept. You might have a function called WalkForward() that updates and moves the player's position, and another function called CheckCollisions() that returns true or false depending on if the player can move in that direction or not. If the function returns true the player can move, and you go ahead and update the player's position if false you will probably play a sound to indicate he/she ran into a wall, door, etc. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice:cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java
I know it's been a while since this thread has been active, but I'm going through my old emails, and was wondering if I could get some more clarification on this subject. The way I'm understanding this, you would build two functions: one for collision detection and one for movement. The movement would run every time through the game loop, and would call the collision detection from within itself. The movement function would change the player's position, call the collision detection function, and if that returns safe, update the game world. Does this sound somewhat correct? Thanks, John. - Original Message - From: Cara Quinn Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice:cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java Hi Ryan, yes and no. If you're using collision detection, you can actually have your player's avatar move and if he's unable to do that then the collision detection routines can stop him for you. YOu don't even need a flag. If your player is moving at a slower speed and touches a wall, then gently stop him. If he is running and touches a wall then give him some damage, stop him and bounce him back a bit based on his velocity. Does this make sense? It's really the job of the collision detection to decide whether or not your player can move. Obviously there may be other situations you may want to check for other than collisions but the concept of attempting the move is what I'm getting at here. In a real physical situation sometimes you can't walk because the hill is too steep. Know what I mean? Nothing is really stopping you but there's a physical reason. YOu attempt to walk but find you cannot. So let's look at this another way; You're velocity is 0. You attempt to walk which simply changes your velocity to something greater than 0. The game loop processes your player's movement and if nothing is preventing you from moving in the direction you want at the speed you want then you do. Simple as that. If something is in your way then your collision detection will stop you or move you back to where you were and reassign your velocity to 0. Obviously this is really primitive but do you get the idea? Also, as Ian has mentioned, you would want to also take into account the timing of your game loop or your frame rate as we've been calling it as well, to manage your movements. YOu can sort of think of this as a movie. But it's a dynamic movie with interaction. :) Does this make sense? If not then by all means, just shout back out! -And I'm happy to clarify and I'm sure Thomas, Ian and others will happily do so as well. :) HTH Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
