Well, that Dell Precision Notebook I talked about which was equipped
for the older Braille Printers running on a parallel port has now been
officialy ruined. Why I don't know? So I turned it on yesterday
morning and while I thought it was the battery it did come on but
wouldn't finish loading. I didn't even get NVDA automatically come up.
I guess the Rulers of Destruction figured they got my JC so take that
laptop down as well to ensure I don't produce no Braille. Wonder how
sighted and partially blind folks would feel if they got stranded out
here with no ctransportation, no care only SSI, and no way to read and
communicate with others outside of this house and front porch? I have
the Dell Inspiron Desktop but it was restored so nothing, not even
speech on that one. Of course, the original HP desktop my JC was
hooked to, the one with Duxbury, is with my ex-husband. Damn why does
he have to have Everything? I mean this is stuff he don't even use.
Its ashamed I've been divorced for 5 years and it always feels like
I'm just getting started. No help anywhere just a whole lotta
Band-Aids and superficial thrills handed out. Just thought I'd update.

If you've got a spare flash drive, you can load nvda on that, and use it to 
get your other machine up and running. The only caveat is that you'll have a 
bit of difficulty navigating in applications that require administrator 
permissions to run if you're using the portable copy. That said, you can 
just go nvdatoolsinstall nvda, and you're set to go. If you can't install 
NVDA to a flash let me know and I'll throw an archive up on dropbox you can

Re: [Audyssey] braille/large print/other media foraudiogames(wasinfo games game engines)

2015-06-28 Thread dark
Hmmm, why the heck have braille as the main media type (whatever that 
means).


If you mean that if we had some funds to produce different formats the 
lion's share should go to producing braille, that just doesn't seem logical 
to me given different people do different things, and compared to producing 
an electronic copy or even a large print one braille is a comparatively 
expensive format to distribute and produce.


As I said I'm personally in favour of simply trying to do as much as 
possible in as many formats as possible and I don't see the need of 
prioritizing braille or anything else just because some people happen to 
like it,  heck, to be brutally honest the preferd reading format of 
members of this list really doesn't have any baring on anything sinse 
manifestly if your on this list, your not a potential interested party to 
this leaflet  sinse you already know about audiogames.

Hi jeremy.

A sort of general physical publication for various blind organizations 
might be a good idea in the future, sort of like a physical version of 
audeasy, but that wasn't the sort of scale I was thinking just as far 
as getting people on board went.


What I was imagining was somethingmore like a general introduction, 
perhaps twop thousand words at most which just explains what audio 
games are, what the bennifits of playing them might be, the differences 
betwene audiogames and text games etc.


It might have some examples mentioned but these wouldn't be adverts for 
any specific developers as much as just shades of doom is a great 
example of an fps type of thing.


i would also not suggest selling it, but having it as a freely 
available informational leaflet who's production is financed by a 
number of people in the community, though whether enough funds could be 
generated to produce sufficient copies would be another question. 
However if I were a person who didn't know about audiogames I am more 
likely to pick up a free braille or print leaflet from a table at the 
next function of blind organization x than pay for something about a 
subject I've never heard of before.


Of course, if it was  successful and people liked it, more specific 
things could  be done later, but I don't think we're at that point 
sinse for most people in places like The Rnib it's just a matter of 
knowing that accessible computer games exist! let alone advertising 
anything specific.

[Audyssey] forum wars browser game

2015-06-28 Thread dark
I know the game forum wars found at http://www.forumwarz.com/ has been kicking 
around on whitestick.co.uk's online accessible games list  for some time,and I 
gave it a try earlier today.

The game is a turn based rpg based around defeating web forums by causing all 
the thread in them pwnage. Each thread in a forum is like a monster battle 
which takes your ego, and you fight back with abilities like drooling on your 
keyboard. At level 2 you can choose different classes like the hacker, the emo 
kid and the troll. 
Bookmarks are like places in other games, with the S talk tab for chatting to 
npc contacts that give missions, the forums list for looking up different 
forums to slay (either ones created by the games community members or ones in 
the story), and the drugs are fun sight for purchicing your healing items.

Firstly, the reason I've never got that far in the game is that getting past 
the initial cut sceen is a little odd. You start off with a fairly standard 
multiple choice question set and then get dropped onto the parody web search 
version of google. What you need to do is first type into the box, and then 
look towards the bottom where you start getting messages from Shallow 
Assophagus, who is your first npc in the game. 
Just click on responses and continue, and then you'll be put into the tutorial 
and go to your first battle. 

The battle screen is a bit gnarly sinse it has the battle log up top and your 
abilities with lots of mouseovers. I'd recommend turning off the display of 
community images under options and turning on the display of numbers in battle 
so you can keep watch on what is going on, also note that while the text of the 
forum replies and your attacks is there for commic value, the battle log shows 
what's going on stats wise in terms of damage so I'd watch that. 
Battles are actually moderately tactical sinse each ability has cool down time 
and you also have a limited pool of mana, (or the closest thing the character 
classes have to mana). 

I also had a look at the shop, and htere are some interesting options for those 
who might want to donate to the game, such as for example buying extra forum 
visits if you don't want to wait for the dayly adventure counter to fill up and 
just want to play through the story, or indeed buying super cheater options to 
make the game ridiculously easy, though unfortunately the episodes 2 and 3 of 
forum wars story do need to be purchiced. 

I actually think it's a pretty well designed game. The problem for me is the 
humour is a little off for my taste, sinse while the principle of playing 
classes like troll and emo kid is an interesting one in itself, the actual 
execution just seems crude and unsubtle to me with nothing particularly 
whimsical or satyrical it's just sort of yeah you can be an emo kid and go on 
about self harm and your parents, or yeah you can be a jail bate girl and 
threaten to get people arrested for child molestation online and cause major 
havoc, (and you can imagine what the troll class is like).

I'm also not sure on the inference that basically your justified in causing 
enough assorted flamingg, heartache and forum vandalism that you cause various 
forums to be shut down just because your basically a bitch. It's not really 
satyrical, sinse a decent satyr usually comes at things sideways or with at 
least a little bite rather than a streight up complaint, indeed the hole game 
feels rather to me like one of those wrants about nasty people who cause havoc 
on forums you often get posted by nasty people who cause havoc on forums. 

It's sort of the cyber bullying or havoc version of something like 
psychostrike, though I suppose it's a nice way for anyone who wants to be an 
utter douchenozzle online to have a go in a game, albeit as I said some of the 
character classes felt more like a complaint on the part of the developers than 
a way for players to innact their forum vandalizing fantasies.

As I said though, the game design actually i thought looked pretty cool, which 
is why I'm giving this reminder even though I have currently reached level 2 
myself and probably shan't be playing anymore.

I am aware this isn't exactly the world's most glowing recommendation, but as I 
have tried the game and as the game mechanics are fun from a turn based rpg 
perspective I'd thought I'd let people know anyway sinse my objections were 
more with the writing style, and also because I do wonder how many people had a 
few access shenanigans with the game being as I did notice it's not the usual 
sort of interface you'd seen in a browser game.

Beware the grue!

I never said I wasn't  interested in braille.
I know vary well braille is used in school especially its used
electronicly and on paper etc.
However ever since I graduated to a fully useable laptop I havn't 
needed

to use braille.
My part about the books and machines is true enough though this  was
before the wide use of the electronic systems which in my day I never
had.
Its a lot different now.
Anyway bar theodd book I don't deal with braille daily and with my 
work of


testing various things and gaming braille is seldomn used or needed.
I havn't needed to write on it for ages, even the machines I am 
used to

have changed.
In my day thoug braille was so heavy I couldn't wait to stop using it.
Thats aparently changed a deal  since I last used it fully.

that will be nice.
your average laser printer costs around 300-400 bucks and 400

you a resonable priced   unit.
I have one that cost around that much with full network functions 
and

with updates to its firmware wireless eprint which tablet users find
really good.
I also enjoyed the discussion on the canute.
Heck if this works I will  get one.
One thing I have been interested in is a braille display of some 
tipe and


a good braille keyboard to use the computer with so I can keep  my
braille going.
Ever since I started using a computer in 1995 I gradually stopped 
typing


with the old clunky and heavy braille units.
aparently from a friend in the industry they are starting with the
electronic units with simple functions and graduating to full

However I find it faster on a querty I just wish I could read 
braille on

Even though you can get some cheap units for 2000 dollars I

What constitutes something being the main media type? I don't really
understand what that entails, particularly when some of the proposed
formats offer options that Braille doesn't. For example, fonts on the
print version, or the possibility of hearing gaming taking place on an
audio version.

I'm not being provocative, it's a genuine question.

 are, what the bennifits of playing them might be, the differences
 betwene audiogames and text games etc.

 It might have some examples mentioned but these wouldn't be adverts for

 any specific developers as much as just shades of doom is a great
 example of an fps type of thing.

 i would also not suggest selling it, but having it as a freely available

 informational leaflet who's production is financed by a number of people

 in the community, though whether enough funds could be generated to
 produce sufficient copies would be another question. However if I were a

 person who didn't know about audiogames I am more likely to pick up a
 free braille or print leaflet from a table at the next function of blind

 organization x than pay for something about a subject I've never heard
 of before.

 Of course, if it was  successful and people liked it, more specific
 things could  be done later, but I don't think we're at that point sinse

 for most people in places like The Rnib it's just a matter of knowing
 that accessible computer games exist! let alone advertising anything
 specific.

 Beware the Grue!

 Dark's suggestion of an informational blurb or pamphlet is the place
 where a number of developers could come together directly.  If we
 formed some sort of organization of our own, that worked with, and/or
 through the more politically minded organizations, it's possible they
 might take more notice of us.  Also too, defraying cost of printing
 might be easier if each developer contributed x amount and had x
 amount of space.  It would mean you'd be advertising in some cases
 with your competition, but, if the real issue is that not enough
 people know about the market at all, then that might be a way to get
 info into the community.  Audyssey might be a good launch point for
 such an item, since many developers subscribe.  Audyssey has a history
 of helping blind people connect to game developers, and it's exactly
 the sort of proactive approach that the political organizations
 attempt to take.  Further, we have developers here from multiple

Hi Ishan,

If you are talking about my baseball game, you change the player names by 
editing the files, baseballbatters.txt, baseballreliefpitchers.txt and 
baseballstartingpitchers.txt.  Those files should be found in your My 
Documents\kitchensinc folder.

If it is my game, please ask your other questions again.  Thanks.
