[Audyssey] Space Invaders on Atari Flashback 4 -was- Re: game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Just as a note, the version of Space Invaders on the Atari Flashback 4 is actually the arcade version rather than the 2600 version in case anyone is interested.

Plus keep in mind there were two different Atari 2600's released. There was the original 2600 consoles from the early 80's and there was a much newer Atari 2600 that came out in the late 80's along side the 7800models. So it is entirely possible yours was a later edition of Space Invaders as they did release updated versions of their 2600 catalog before going under. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] social event versus mechanics
HI Thomas, when I and a group of people would play Audio quake, we would also get on TeamTalk so we could talk with each other in real time as we were playing each other in the game. So we could be talking all kinds of smack and be hunting each other down / hiding from each other at the same time. :) Was loads o' fun! :) Smiles, Cara :) --- iOS design and development - LookTel.com --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On May 22, 2014, at 6:39 PM, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Dark, Interesting point.

Re: [Audyssey] some suggestions and comments for better audio games
Hi Ron, Well, adding force feedback support to audio games is not a problem in of itself. The problem is that when I did a poll some time back that very few blind gamers actually have such devices. Only a handful have joysticks, gamepads, and gaming mice which unfortunately means that a developer has to do a fair amount of extra work that is only beneficial to a small minority of gamers. The question becomes will doing the work increase the number of people who have such devices, or is the developer only doing the work for a small minority of gamers? The other issue is you are talking about finding a USB combo that works well for hand and feet. The problem is that the mainstream community is moving away from such devices as far as the PC goes. There is plenty of controllers for the Play Station, Wii, XBox, etc but I've noticed a lack in controllers for the PC for quite a while now. These days it seems the best we can get is a gamepad, a racing wheel, or a flight stick, but there aren't that many to choose from. Especially, combos with hand and foot control. So I don't have an answer when the hardware itself simply isn't there to begin with. Cheers! On 5/15/14, Ron Kolesar wrote: > Let me add my two cents to this thread.

Hi Kate, Well, there is probably a way to make those games accessible. Just requires a bit of thought. In fact, I have been thinking of ways to make Centipede accessible, and I think it can be done. The key to it is making each part of the centipede have a unique sound so you can focus in and shoot them when they break apart and start coming after you. Cheers!

Hi Dark, Well, that is the purpose of a beta version.

Re: [Audyssey] holes in shields
Hi Jeremy, Not sure about using echo to denote damaged shields, but what I think would work better is a low--pass filter. When your gun is under an undamaged shield the sounds of the enemies above you are muted. If you are under a damaged shield you can hear them through the cracks in the shield as the filter would not be applied while under a crack or hole in the shield. So muting and unmuting the sounds of enemies would be a better indicator in my opinion of if a shield is damaged or undamaged. Cheers!

Hello Nicol, To begin with the latest versions of Python for Simbian OS can always be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60/ and if you have not already done so I'd swing by Sourceforge and see about getting a new sis setup package for Python. What you will want is Python 2.5 or higher for s60 phones. It sounds to me as though you grabbed a bad installer, and my recommendation is to go to sourceforge and find the right sis file for your phone, and one hopefully more up to date. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] tom's black jack game
Try setting the date year earlier on the phone. Go 1 year at a time. Try to run the installer each time. If you get all the way to the year 2000 and it still won't you're out of luck. Don't skip years because it won't work with the date too early either.

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Hi Bryan, Just goes to prove my point. There are answers out there to some of these problems in audio, but developers either don't know of them or don't remember what has been tried before when developing their own games. A particular answer just may not occur to a person at that time and the fault of the game isn't that it can not be converted to audio but just our own human shortcomings. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Hi Cara, I am not sure. Its possible the legacy version of the games on the Atari Flashback take wide screen in to consideration, and they'd almost have to considering most televisions now days all are for wide screen formats. I guess the games that are setup for full screen would behave more or less like old movies in that you would just end up with black strips to the left and right of the game screen, and the game itself would appear in a square in the center of the screen. Hard for me to say for sure since I have had non-functioning eyeballs for quite a while now, and haven't really had to worry about how older things look on a newer wide screen TV. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Hi Dark, Yeah, I am pretty sure there were color variations of the game out there, and I believe that was the main difference between the Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 versions. Plus keep in mind there were two different Atari 2600's released. There was the original 2600 consoles from the early 80's and there was a much newer Atari 2600 that came out in the late 80's along side the 7800models. So it is entirely possible yours was a later edition of Space Invaders as they did release updated versions of their 2600 catalog before going under. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
I don't know what allI have. I do have Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, Missile Command, Space Invaders and a bunch of the other classics. Not all are really playable but I still enjoy them immensely. I grew up with them. My favorites are the Pac-Man games, Centipede, Millipede, Defender, Cosmic Ark, Kangaroo, Frogs and Flies. These are just a few. I also like Adventure but given that game's extremely sparse audio that one would be all but impossible to play. One of my goals in learning to programw as to create an audio remake or as close to it as possible. Oh freddled gruntbuggly, thy micturations are to me as plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.

The Flashbacks can use analog controllers but convert the signal to digital whereas I believe the Atari 2600 juniors are actually clones of the Atari 2600 so I am assuming they would preserve the analog feel. So far in my research, no one has complained about the movement of the paddles on the Flashbacks so I'm betting this is really a matter of how much of a purist are you? :) Some Flashback systems come with a set of paddles and you can also purchase them on amazon (among other places) as well.

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Hi again Brian, If you were looking for a backup option, I would suggest either a Flashback 2 (not a 2+) or an Atari 2600 junior. The FB 2 can be modded to accept atari 2600 carts and the junior as I mentioned, is a clone of the original 2600.

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
HI Brian, Yes they can. The Flashbacks can use analog controllers but convert the signal to digital whereas I believe the Atari 2600 juniors are actually clones of the Atari 2600 so I am assuming they would preserve the analog feel. So far in my research, no one has complained about the movement of the paddles on the Flashbacks so I'm betting this is really a matter of how much of a purist are you? :) Some Flashback systems come with a set of paddles and you can also purchase them on amazon (among other places) as well.

One, is that not every programmer has the same skills, and sometimes one programmer might think of a novel solution to solve a problem that another programmer would not think of to resolve a particular problem in converting some mainstream mechanics to audio. Two, just because a solution has not been introduced does not mean one does not exist. Merely that not all the possibilities have been tried yet. Let's take your example of Duck Hunt here. I'll be the first to admit Liam did not do the best job of converting that game to audio, because its overly simplistic compared to the NES version. The ducks simply fly across the screen and when they are in the center you hit space to shoot them. Pretty dull and not at all like the original game. However, as I sit here I can think of away to restore the original challenge of the game, and write Duck Hunt to be on par with the video game version. The way to do it would be to add an audio targeting system similar to what Justin did in the Gorbian levels of Troopanum 2. You would be able to move the targeting beep left and right until the duck is centered and then move it up and down to center it on the duck. When the pitch of the beep is at its maximum shoot. If tied with a game controller, mouse, or something we would effectively be recreating Duck Hunt almost exactly like the classic NES version, and have it be fully accessible. Not sure Liam had thought of trying anything like that when creating his version of Duck Hunt, but that is a case of where I think the experience could be drastically improved to be fairly close to the original in challenge and still use the same basic mechanics. I'll freely admit when I was working on Montezuma's Revenge I wasn't trying too hard to find solutions for various issues. I was primarily in a big hurry so if there was not something I knew how to do or have an idea how to get around some problem with converting some aspect of the game to audio I just skipped it intending to come back to the problem at a later time. Therefore certain things such as the bouncing skulls were left undone. That said, now that six years have passed since working on the game I have a few ideas in which I could have implemented the bouncing skulls. One way would be by introducing a bounce or jump sound for when the skulls bounced into the air, and a land sound for when they hit the ground. The Airbot battle in Super Liam is an example of one way the bouncing skulls could be made accessible, but I was in too much of a hurry at the time to really look for that kind of solution at the time. My point being just because various audio games lack a certain feature found in a video game counterpart doesn't mean it is impossible or too difficult to convert a specific mechanic from a video game to audio. It could be a lack of skill, shear laziness on the developers part, or simply a case of not thinking the problem completely through. I'm personally not ready to put the smackdown on converting video game mechanics to audio and give it the 1, 2, 3 until all alternatives have been explored. Cheers! On 5/21/14, dark wrote: Hi Tom. I do see your point in trying to give people who have not played the original the same experience, however my problem is what usually happens when a game is translated to audio from an original graphical conceptmy problem is that when a developer simply cannot replicate a mechanic in audio that mechanic gets missed. Take Liam's duckhunt for example. The original Duckhunt was challenging because the ducks could move at any angle across the screen, and the player had to either target them with the nes connected gun, or (even more difficult), line up a circle with his/her pad on the screen. The lining up targeting process was complex sinse the player could never guarantee his/her target was in the right place and it required the player to track the movement of his/her target, and the movement of the oncoming duck. Sinse however there wasn't a way to replicate the vertical movement or random target lining up of the ducks, we end up with a sterrio targeting game where the player hears the sound of the duck and must hit space when it's in the center, thus all the need to coordinate the original target position vs the position of the oncoming duck is missing from the game and once again we have a reaction test bo

Re: [Audyssey] holes in shields
Rythm is an interesting idea for an indicator. I have seen rapidity of sound used in games before for information, but not directly working on rythm. My only concern would be whether it would be distinguishable, particularly say picking out two distinct sounds in rythm together against a large number of other sounds, sinse obviously this is the advantage of pitch. Echoe is something I've seen some games use but not widely. Unseen (once called aura), which thus far only exists in a small beta did use echoe extensively to indicate character position, and shades of doom used it for directional space feedback, but it is an interesting thought to have it as an indicator in a vehicle based game.

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Hi Tom. I would never suggest giving up on an attempt to replicate mainstream mechanics in audio games entirely, certainly i've occasionally been quite surprised at the ingenuity of developers. My problem however, is that as you said yourself, developing games is not easy and developers aren't always in a position to know how to implement something in a game. The problem is this has too often resulted in partial convertions, eg, space invaders games with no shields and no shooting invaders, or supposed 2D side scrollers with no 2nd dimention or recognizable enemy attacks. My suggestion is not to completely abandon efforts to try and convert mainstream games to audio, only that when a developer comes up against a problem which cannot be solved, instead of simply missing something out and reducing the game to a reaction test, considder substituting an audio mechanic to keep the game at the same level of challenge and complexity as the original rather than reducing it to another boppit clone. For example, yes your skull suggestion would be quite workable, however if you can't think of a similar thing to dictate the jewel position and require the player to vary his/her jump hight to grab them, instead of saying "oh dear, well we'll just stick the jewels on the floor and let them be easy to pickup" find a similar audio challenge to substitute into the game, eg, the falling jewels suggestion. No, this might not result in a %100 accurate remake, but better a %50 accurate audio remake with another %50 of similar style challenge but in audio, than just! a %50 remake with nothing added and those mechanics simply missing. Btw, with the duckhunt idea, the only problem I see in replicating the gorbian style levels is that the gorbians were predicated on the idea that once a ship was targeted horizontally, the target wouldn't move from that horizontal position and you would then just have to target it vertically, which is why you always hit the left and right arrows before the up or down ones. Obviously this worked for space invaders sinse most invaders don't move horizontally much. To be accurate, the ducks would need to move in diagonals and the player would need to move the target in both horizontal and vertical incriments at the same time. you'd therefore probably need two distinct target sounds, one for vertical target one for horizontal target, and require the player to get both solutions correct before the shot would hit. That! could be a most challenging game, sinse the player would need to line up their target quite carefully and continually try to keep a beed on the moving duck much as in the graphical version, making for a game which would be much more interesting to play.

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Hi Tom. Yep, i definitely remember the enemy blasting holes in the shields, indeed a favourite tactic of mine was blasting through the center of the shield myself so I was protected on both sides and using it to take out lots of invaders while I got the cover. You mentioning shield power did give me a thought however. Suppose instead of giving the player say 5 shields at the start of each game, the shield started with a percentage power meter. When at %100, the shield was absolutely certain to stop an enemy shot. However, as it took damage, the percentage of the shield was the percentage it would stop the enemy's bullet. So when at %50, if you deployed the shield, there was also a %50 chance you'd get hit anyway. This would be easy to show in audio, (simply a status key to report percentage), and would replicate the fact that enemies blasted through the shields and would add complexity to the game. For example, do you use a shield at %30, knowing there is a good chance it won't work. This could be potentially even more interesting than a limited number of shields, sinse there would be an element of risk and chance involved along with the conservation required, and a little calculated risk can always make for an addictive game.

Re: [Audyssey] game taste was: Re: regarding temporal disturbance
Hi Tom. Wow! I bet original space invaders on a 78 inch projector was cool. I currently have my snes, Pc and gamecube plugged into a 42 inch flatscreen, which is pretty awsome after years of playing on standard sized tv screens, but I'm still jealous! :D. Back when we had the atari 2600 we were on a 15 inch tv, so no, I don't imagine the invaders were very clear. I also however do wonder if there was a different version of space invaders. The one we had on the Atari 2600 had the invaders in rows and columns, but if I remember rightly the invaders were yellow, and the shields between you and them were orange while your gun was green. it also had a two player option with one green gun and one purple gun. I have played a version with red invaders and blue shields on one of those multi game consoles that have hundreds of games on one machine and you just plug into the tv. I suppose though just like Packman and several other games at the time, there were various different versions of space invaders around and it's entirely possible that the first one I played wasn't the original.

Re: [Audyssey] social event versus mechanics
Hi charlse. I agree Ten pin alley is a social game, however interestingly enough that was the very reason I didn't buy it, sinse I don't really get chance to play audio games with people at the same computer very often (when my friends turn up we do tabeltop rp), and thus for me the main fun of games is as a single player and I just felt the single player experience of Ten Pin Alley wasn't really enough to warrent me buying the game. Another example is Mississippi. again, it looked a nice game to play with other people at the same machine, but with no computer opponents the single player game just didn't seem much fun. I hadn't actually thought of this before, but it is entirely possible that for some people, maybe even quite a few people, games that are purely! social and have less to offer a solo player (including games with computer opponentns), might actually be something of a turn off.

Re: [Audyssey] entertainment versus social event
Hi Jeremy. I absolutely agree the exploration elements of entombed did get neglected. i was in the early alpha and beta testing for the game, and I can say a lot of things with the environment were planned, but didn't materialize. These included traps, resting, environments to search for items, and even environments that affected the battles in some way. Unfortunately sinse entombed didn't really work to an over all plan things got added somewhat haphazardly to the design, which is one reason the entombed dungeon creator, which would've also allowed such features never materialized. The developer, Jason Alan has stated that he'd like to fix such things in Entombed Ii in the future, though whether that will happen given Jason has several kids and two jobs last we heard I'm not sure. Either way, while I fully agree the environment wasn't as developed as it was originally intended to be, Entombed's Combat mechanics and the random choice of different options are something I still think is a lovely idea for game design, sinse a you said the player is always needing to work out different tactics and combinations for different situations, which is what I'd recommend taking from entombed if considdering creating other games. There are far too many rpgs where the actual process of combat is extremely dull, just hitting one attack button. Even when (as many do), there is a complex equipping system of balancing items and skills, this to me isn't particularly interesting if all those items and skills do is give you no chance to interact with your enemy. After all in reality, while it will! make a difference whether you went in to battle in full plate armor with a two handed greatsword, or in leather armor with a rapier, your skills at using either and responding to the attacks, parries and movement of your enemy will make a major difference no matter what you wear.
