Unfortunately, there's no way to get the desktop sounds anywhere other

has a 400 meg soundpack, but it's not portable at all.

Re: [Audyssey] history of Jim Kitchen's games?

2015-05-27 Thread shaun everiss
well you can do it all from user accounts in control panel in user 
account control settings.
I'd only do it if you were not on a shared system though as its an 
extra layer of security.
A work around is for those programs that require it off you can right 
click the program and hit run as admin and it works.
Its only an issue if something needs to access the system directly or 
if its an old program.
My huge issue is in 8 and up you can't actually kill it fully unless 
you modify your registry to do so.
And if you do then no metro apps for you either like windows store 
though if you use just your desktop apps its probably ok.

Its why I still like and use 7.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine

Hi Daniele,

I just responded to your prior message so all the answers you are
seeking should be in that message. Just in case you miss my reply
there aren't any engines quite like Unity, Unreal, etc. There are some
game engines available but they are more hands on requiring the
developer to know how to program and script their games rather than
relying on point and click or drag and drop as you might find with
some games for sighted game designers.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] info AudioGames Game Engine

2015-05-27 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Daniele,

Unfortunately, there is nothing quite like Unity or Unreal for VI
audio game developers. The closest thing to it right now is the
Blastbay Game Toolkit, (BGT,) which of course requires a fair amount
of scripting and coding by hand. That said, you'll find the majority
of software development is that way for a blind or visually impaired
user anyway because graphical tools for software development and
design just aren't that accessible using a screen reader. If you are
wanting to design audio games the best way is to learn how to code it
by hand and forget the graphical designers like Unity or Unreal as
there just isn't anything accessible on par with that technology.

I'll just use for example Microsoft's Visual Studio 2013 for standard
application development. While the software is usable after a fashion
for manual coding a lot of the drag and drop and point and click
designer technology our sighted peers enjoy just isn't accessible or
is a pain to work with a screen reader. I have found if I want to
design a standard control or design a dialog box I can do it quicker
and easier just by coding it by hand rather than spending my time
fighting with the inaccessible forms designer. It might mean a bigger
learning curve but it is often worth it as the VI programmer will know
more about the workings of the application than the average sighted
developer because he or she has more hands on experience with the
code.

The same principles applies to games. If you want to design audio
games get yourself some good books on game programming and learn the
ins and outs of the fundamental principles of programming games rather
than relying on Unity and other tools like that. They aren't
accessible and I think you'll actually enjoy having a more in depth
understanding of how your game works anyway.

Cheers!

There are 24 games in all.

I can't recall all of them though some of the most noteable include
tradewars, a couple of other galactic trading games such as galaxy 4, 
yanky
trader, some fantasy games like usurper (which is rather fun), and legend 
of


the red dragon (the game that legend of the green dragon was based on), 
then


some random strange ones such as one called darkness set in a distopean
world, a very whacky one about drug taking and an even stranger one about
being trapped in an assilem.

Some good stuff there game wise though, indeed I've always meant to get 
more


into trade wars though when I tried the game I didn't quite get the
relations or how stuff worked so I probably need to give it another more
serious go.

Hi Josh.

I'd be interested if someone did make the game more accessible at some
point.

I went to http://www.neurohack.com/anacreon/index.html which is the
developer's own site and looked at the windows version a few years ago.
There was nothing specifically wrong! with the access but a lot of the
ways
information was displayed were a bit wonky from a screen reader
perspective,
such as for example displaying all your stats in rows, I also found the
main
starmap a bit weerd though I admit I probably didn't check out as much 
of

the game as I could've done.

Two things that really stood out for me about the game however and which
i
thought sounded fascinating were firstly that combat was rather more
complex
and tactical than just slamming your preprepared fleet against your
opponents and letting the random number generator do the rest, it
involved
things like tactics around taking out planetary artilliary, ground
troops,
what type of planet it was and lots of other things.

Secondly, I did like the idea that you could play single player against
the
computer and didn't have to play against others either online or not.

Btw, if anyone wants to play tradewars, along with lots of other old bbs
games such as usurper, legend of the red dragon, yanky trader and barren
realms, if you connect to nerbbs.com  a lot are being run in accessible
form
just for Vi users.

Hi.

If your specifically wanting to create different types of first person 
games, There is an alternative to just programming from scratch. That is 
swamp campaign scripting.


The Swamp game has been one of the major expantions in audiogames, and has 
created an amazing first person shooter environment with a lot of sound 
sources, missions, other players etc. the campaign scripting part of the 
game can be used to make streight off swamp style missions with zombies and 
different maps, but can also be heavily modified, for example someone 
apparently on one occasion created a tower defense game, on another a proto 
rpg.


If you go to http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/ you can find out about 
swamp, and you can ask about the campaign scripting on audiogames.net.


Btw, and to forstall the barrage of questions, Cae jones created a swamp 
campaigns page which is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16520690/SCS.htm


and you can ask about it and find out more in this topic:

developer because he or she has more hands on experience with the
code.

The same principles applies to games. If you want to design audio
games get yourself some good books on game programming and learn the
ins and outs of the fundamental principles of programming games rather
than relying on Unity and other tools like that. They aren't
accessible and I think you'll actually enjoy having a more in depth
understanding of how your game works anyway.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone!
My name is Daniele, I'm 32, I'm visually impaired and I'm from Italy.
This is my first mail in the Audyssey group; a user of audiogames.net
kindly linked me to your website (most of website sections seem to be 
down,

I hope that's not a problem on my side).

I'm visually imparied since I was born but anyway I was able to work like 
a

3D Designer (Inot developer) for Architectural Visualization and Game
Desing.
Recently my sight starts to decrease, and I'm not more able to do that.

So I've discovered the world of AudioGames and I'm wondering if exist a
Game Engine accessible for blinds, a sort of Unity or UnrealEngine that 
can

be navigated via Screen Reader.

The final task is to create an immersive interactive audio game in first
person. Something similar to Papa Sangre.

During my research I've met Blastbay Studio application (BGT) but it 
seems
to be more for developer then for designer; a very nice guy has created 
an

Engine called Heat Engine on the basis of BGT.

I'd like to know if there's something else too.

Thank you very much in advance.

Daniele.

Re: [Audyssey] test

Hello Leo,

Your subscription seems to be working fine. Everyone got your test
message, and as far as I am aware there was not any messages from
Audyssey in the last 24 hours. So if you recently subscribed then you
wouldn't get any messages as there were not any to get for the last
day or so.

Cheers!
