Subject: [Audyssey] star traders rpg now accessible on Ios

Just for people on this list, as of yesterday Star traders rpg from trees
brothers games is now accessible  on Ios and can be found on the ap store.
It's got a nav helper accessed through the menue which gives you a list of
planets to travel to, which works well. 

I'm still figuring out the game and how everything  works, but I like what
I've seen thus far, certainly worth  the three dolars for the elite version,
although there is a free version as well (I bought the elite straight off
since this is just my sort of game). 

The game is sort of similar to smugglers or core exiles in that you fly
around with a spaceship, there are a number of factions who have wars, you
have a crew and engage in space combat. The difference is  that the universe
is rather like the  dune books by Frank herbert, galactic houses and
politics along with  sindicates,  there are lots of different things to do,
exploring planets,  lots of ship combat, boarding and  capturing ships and a
lot more, indeed I'm only just starting on the game myself. 

one thing that I do like the look of is that rather  than you just grinding
away at the same resource trading, you actually need to research where
things are needed for yourself, which makes the game quite unique, as does
the fact that while there ar elots of ships and upgrades to buy and awards
to earn, the game is pretty open  ended. 

It looks highly interesting and I'd advise any rpg fans to give it a try. 

Beware the grue!

Hi Shane.
Well as to the paid stuff being in ap, yes and no.

You can get the free version of star traders from the ap store and then pay 
for the upgrade to Star traders Elite, or you can download and pay for star 
traders Elite   straight from the ap store initially. This is what I did 
since the game is hardly expensive and it's certainly my sort of game.


You can also make an in ap  purchice to unlock the items which normally only 
get unlocked by completing the  awards at harder difficulties.

Re: [Audyssey] star traders rpg now accessible on Ios

2014-01-30 Thread dark

Hi Shane.

Looting ships works very much the same way that exploring, harvesting, or 
indeed trading do.


When you hit the loot cargo button you will be presented with a list of 
cargo types. flicking through them you'll find something like Water-fuel 10 
0, Lux food 5 0, crystals 0 6 etc.


Each of the names of the goods such as water-fuel or crystals is a button to 
click on, and the two numbers after refer to what is in your ship's hold and 
what is available to take. Just so long as you remember the first number 
after each button as you flick through is the  quantity in your hold and the 
second is the amount you can take you should be fine.


To actually do the looting, it's very similar to buying stuff. You hit the 
button and then have a screen with the numbers in hold and available, and a 
slider, this is where what I was saying earlier about the sliders comes into 
play. set the slider to %100, you grab everything, set it to %0, you drop 
everything. So if  you have 6  lux food in your ship and there is 4 
available to take the slider will start at %60 since you currently have %60 
of the  available amount. bang it up to %100 to grab the other four.


the only other thing to note is that  sometimes, when you have four or less 
of a given good available, simply flicking up and down the slider won't do 
it. In these situations you need to double tap on the slider and then slide 
your finger across the screen. Go all the way right to set to %100, or all 
the way left to set to %0.


Actually I've taken to using the double tap and slide method myself 
regularly, since it is a far quicker way to instantly set a slider to one 
end or the other and most of the time I want to take everything or sell 
everything.


Btw,  the fastest way of looting is to simply have more space in your ship's 
cargo hold than the  max available lootable cargo, then you can just hit the 
take max button to grab the lot, though this only shows up when  looting 
ships and not when exploring or  harvesting unfortunately.


Hth.

Hi all.
I have found a workaround, not ideal, but manageable to help in working out 
distances for locations on the navlist.
Unfortunately it does involve a bit of faffing, as you have to select one of 
the locations and then at the top of your screen where it has the date it will 
have the distance to that location.
Hope this is helpful and I have explained it okay.

Looting ships works very much the same way that exploring, harvesting, or 
indeed trading do.


When you hit the loot cargo button you will be presented with a list of 
cargo types. flicking through them you'll find something like Water-fuel 
10 0, Lux food 5 0, crystals 0 6 etc.


Each of the names of the goods such as water-fuel or crystals is a button 
to click on, and the two numbers after refer to what is in your ship's 
hold and what is available to take. Just so long as you remember the first 
number after each button as you flick through is the  quantity in your 
hold and the second is the amount you can take you should be fine.


To actually do the looting, it's very similar to buying stuff. You hit the 
button and then have a screen with the numbers in hold and available, and 
a slider, this is where what I was saying earlier about the sliders comes 
into play. set the slider to %100, you grab everything, set it to %0, you 
drop everything. So if  you have 6  lux food in your ship and there is 4 
available to take the slider will start at %60 since you currently have 
%60 of the  available amount. bang it up to %100 to grab the other four.


the only other thing to note is that  sometimes, when you have four or 
less of a given good available, simply flicking up and down the slider 
won't do it. In these situations you need to double tap on the slider and 
then slide your finger across the screen. Go all the way right to set to 
%100, or all the way left to set to %0.


Actually I've taken to using the double tap and slide method myself 
regularly, since it is a far quicker way to instantly set a slider to one 
end or the other and most of the time I want to take everything or sell 
everything.


Btw,  the fastest way of looting is to simply have more space in your 
ship's cargo hold than the  max available lootable cargo, then you can 
just hit the take max button to grab the lot, though this only shows up 
when  looting ships and not when exploring or  harvesting unfortunately.


Hth.

Hi Darren.

That is it, however note that the cargo you find  is  of the very expensive 
sort, weapons, electronics and artifacts. The more crew you commit the more 
you will find although you also risk having your crew killed by nasty things 
on the planets as well, so it's something of a gamble albeit a rather good 
one especially if you have a trade permit so you can sell unrestricted 
items.

 Hi Shane.

 Looting ships works very much the same way that exploring, harvesting, or
 indeed trading do.

 When you hit the loot cargo button you will be presented with a list of
 cargo types. flicking through them you'll find something like Water-fuel 
 10
 0, Lux food 5 0, crystals 0 6 etc.

 Each of the names of the goods such as water-fuel or crystals is a button 
 to
 click on, and the two numbers after refer to what is in your ship's hold 
 and
 what is available to take. Just so long as you remember the first number
 after each button as you flick through is the  quantity in your hold and 
 the
 second is the amount you can take you should be fine.

 To actually do the looting, it's very similar to buying stuff. You hit the
 button and then have a screen with the numbers in hold and available, and 
 a
 slider, this is where what I was saying earlier about the sliders comes 
 into
 play. set the slider to %100, you grab everything, set it to %0, you drop
 everything. So if  you have 6  lux food in your ship and there is 4
 available to take the slider will start at %60 since you currently have 
 %60
 of the  available amount. bang it up to %100 to grab the other four.

 the only other thing to note is that  sometimes, when you have four or 
 less
 of a given good available, simply flicking up and down the slider won't do
 it. In these situations you need to double tap on the slider and then 
 slide
 your finger across the screen. Go all the way right to set to %100, or all
 the way left to set to %0.

 Actually I've taken to using the double tap and slide method myself
 regularly, since it is a far quicker way to instantly set a slider to one
 end or the other and most of the time I want to take everything or sell
 everything.

 Btw,  the fastest way of looting is to simply have more space in your 
 ship's
 cargo hold than the  max available lootable cargo, then you can just hit 
 the
 take max button to grab the lot, though this only shows up when  looting
 ships and not when exploring or  harvesting unfortunately.

Well as to the paid stuff being in ap, yes and no.

You can get the free version of star traders from the ap store and 
then
pay for the upgrade to Star traders Elite, or you can download and 
pay
for star traders Elite   straight from the ap store initially. This 
is
what I did since the game is hardly expensive and it's certainly my

of game.

You can also make an in ap  purchice to unlock the items which

Short answer, lots more of everything in the elite version.

I'm not exactly sure of the numbers, but from reading the manual I gather 
that the elite version has  almost twice as many planets and twice as much 
space for them to be in, and about as many again different sorts of rumous, 
enemy ship types and ship upgrades to buy,  though for a more 
comprehensive list you can read the ap  description, or the one that appears 
on the game's in ap store.

Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft details.

2014-01-30 Thread Dakotah Rickard
Minecraft is ... well, frankly, I'll open up by being honest.
I don't like it. It's a very vanilla game. By that I mean that it's
pretty boring without mods or multiplayer for a lot of people. For
those who just want a build-a-world, it offers that, but the
soundtrack is ... well soporiphic to say the least, the mechanics are
more for novelty than gameplay, and the fact that it's so popular
mystifies me to no end.
The game itself is actually not terribly complicated. In its simplest
form, build a world, fight monsters, and collect resources so you can
build more and fight more.

My personal bias in this case is actually pretty strong, but the one
thing I will say is that Minecraft has a very active modding
community. They add all sorts of features to the game, crazy stuff
that nobody ever thought would get in there.
It's kind of become a giant message board, in a way, for funny gaming
references.

 This is not a blind accessible game as it stands.
 Minecraft,
 created by Markus Persson, the founder of Mojang AB.
 Minecraft development started around May 10, 2009,
 The game involves players placing and breaking various types of blocks in
 a three-dimensional environment. The player takes on an avatar that can
 break and place blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations, and
 artwork, on multiplayer servers and singleplayer worlds across multiple
 game modes.
 Blocks  From Minecraft
 This article is about the various blocks found in Minecraft.

 All blocks are the basic units of structure in Minecraft, and are
 essential to the gameplay. Together, they build up the in-game
 environment, and can be mined and utilized in various fashions. There are
 one hundred and fifty three different blocks.

 The face of a block is 16×16 pixels by default, but a player can make the
 game more detailed, with faces becoming up to 1024x1024 pixels. Each block
 is proportionately one cubic meter.[1] Most blocks are static, although
 water, lava, portal, and fire blocks have a shifting pattern for each
 face.

 seed.

 Hi shanon.
 
 The  reason your having issues with the doctor I suspect is due to  a miner 
 point about  how the sliders in the game work that also threw me at first, 
 but once you get it it's quite logical.
 
 Basically the way you buy anything in the game is with the slider. %100 means 
 transer as much as possible to you, %0 means sell the lot.  So, if you've got 
 3  Metals in your hold and there are 3 standing  at the dock, the slider will 
 begin at %%50, if you want to buy the three from the dock you put it up, if 
 you want to sell your 3 you put it down.
 
 When there are more than five items to sell, ie, the slider has more than 
 five positions, you can just flick it, but as you've  probably found when 
 there's only say one position you can't. For example if you've got one unit 
 of health to recover from the doctor the slider can only be at %0 or %100.
 
 In actual fact however, the slider is a long control that goes left to right 
 horizontally right across the display, so all you need to do to select it is 
 double tap and hold then swipe your finger right across the display, right if 
 you want to go up, and left if you want to go down, (just bare in mind you 
 have to swipe quite a long distance across the screen for it to work).
 
 This probably sounds very clunky when I explain it like this, but once I got 
 the knack myself I now find I use the  double tap and slide left or right 
 method  instead of flicking even with larger sliders since it's much quicker.
 
 Hope this makes sense.
 
 As  regards the ships, some I believe are unlocks, and it's possible that 
 some are  either faction or profession specific but I'm not %100 certain on 
 that as i haven't messed about with the different ship types that much yet.

 adjustable, but I can't change it. When it's at 0 percent, the complete 
 transaction button doesn't appear.
 
 Also, when creating a new game, it shows a list of starting ships. However,

 Hi Darren.
 
 That is it, however note that the cargo you find  is  of the very expensive
 sort, weapons, electronics and artifacts. The more crew you commit the more
 you will find although you also risk having your crew killed by nasty things
 on the planets as well, so it's something of a gamble albeit a rather good
 one especially if you have a trade permit so you can sell unrestricted
 items.

 Hi Shane.
 
 Looting ships works very much the same way that exploring, harvesting, or
 indeed trading do.
 
 When you hit the loot cargo button you will be presented with a list of
 cargo types. flicking through them you'll find something like Water-fuel 
 10
 0, Lux food 5 0, crystals 0 6 etc.
 
 Each of the names of the goods such as water-fuel or crystals is a button 
 to
 click on, and the two numbers after refer to what is in your ship's hold 
 and
 what is available to take. Just so long as you remember the first number
 after each button as you flick through is the  quantity in your hold and 
 the
 second is the amount you can take you should be fine.
 
 To actually do the looting, it's very similar to buying stuff. You hit the
 button and then have a screen with the numbers in hold and available, and 
 a
 slider, this is where what I was saying earlier about the sliders comes 
 into
 play. set the slider to %100, you grab everything, set it to %0, you drop
 everything. So if  you have 6  lux food in your ship and there is 4
 available to take the slider will start at %60 since you currently have 
 %60
 of the  available amount. bang it up to %100 to grab the other four.
 
 the only other thing to note is that  sometimes, when you have four or 
 less
 of a given good available, simply flicking up and down the slider won't do
 it. In these situations you need to double tap on the slider and then 
 slide
 your finger across the screen. Go all the way right to set to %100, or all
 the way left to set to %0.
 
 Actually I've taken to using the double tap and slide method myself
 regularly, since it is a far quicker way to instantly set a slider to one
 end or the other and most of the time I want to take everything or sell
 everything.
 
 Btw,  the fastest way of looting is to simply have more space in your 
 ship's
 cargo hold than the  max available lootable cargo, then you can just hit 
 the
 take max button to grab the lot, though this only shows up when  looting
 ships and not when exploring or  harvesting unfortunately.
 
 Hth.

Yep the report is  useful for trading, though i actually like the need to 
visit different planets.


Have you discovered any way of telling which faction the different planets 
are other than going there?

Ah right.

Well I just got killed doing a spy mission lol. not fun although because
I've learned a we bit I think I can do a bit better second time round lol.
for example, am now using roomers to trade. Also I found out what the 
report
thing is for on each of the comodities. Click it and it brings up a list 
of

places and prices for that commodity. But I think it only lists the places
you've been to.

Hi Darren.

That is it, however note that the cargo you find  is  of the very 
expensive
sort, weapons, electronics and artifacts. The more crew you commit the 
more
you will find although you also risk having your crew killed by nasty 
things

on the planets as well, so it's something of a gamble albeit a rather good
one especially if you have a trade permit so you can sell unrestricted
items.

Beware the grue!

Hi dark,

You've obviously done exploring, what's the benefit to it? apart from
finding the odd bit of cargo to sell?

2014-01-30 Thread dark

Just had some news back from the developer.

he stated that he will indeed  improve the nav screen to show faction info, 
apparently he tried this but it's not been %100 successful with vo, but he 
asks people to bare with him as it's a work in progress. He also will fix 
the conflict screen so it's possible to see what  wars are with whom, since 
at the moment while you can see what conflicts are happening, you can't tell 
who they are between.


The one thing he does ask is could  people please give 5 * reviews and 
ratings to help him make the game more  visible in the ap store, which is 
fair enough.


All the best,

Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] mac versus windows sales plus iOS question

2014-01-30 Thread Travis Siegel
a mac mini is $599, so purchasing a mac isn't as expensive as folks might 
think.  Admittedly, if you want to use apple tools, then yes, an apple 
developer account helps.  However, it's not strictly necessary.  If you're only 
interested in writing programs for the mac (and not ios) then you need not 
purchase an apple developer account for $99 a year.  You can still use java and 
mono for free, and of course terminal apps written in any language you like 
work perfectly and don't even require Xcode to be installed, though installing 
it gives you all sorts of extras you don't otherwise have.
Just thought I'd offer some alternate views since everyone else is stating true 
but lacking information.

My biggest problem with it is that I can't see what planets are where. For 
example, one planet might be about the same distance from me as the next on 
the list, but in the opposite direction, which is a problem when trying to 
plan routes or get to planets too far for the waypoint marker.
