Re: [Audyssey] WAAAAY Off Topic: Microsoft Speech Voices
I ended up figuring out some of it. Eva seems to work under 32-bit Windows 10 with NVDA and does show up under the Control Panel speech settings dialogue, even if she won't show up under the main speech settings dialogue, even under 64-bit. It's really odd. I suppose it's because she's really a OneCore voice at heart, or at least a mobile voice package.

[Audyssey] WAAAAY Off Topic: Microsoft Speech Voices
Hi all. This is a super off topic message, and for that, I offer sincere apologies, but I'm hoping someone knows what I need to know so that, by knowing, I no longer need to know... Moving on: Ok, so Microsoft offers two methods by which you can make a computer speak simply: their SAPI interface and their Microsoft Server Speech Platform interface. I have installed the Microsoft Server Speech Platform, and it works pretty well with NVDA, my screen reader of choice, though it doesn't really work well with anything else at the moment. However, I was really hoping to install and use the other language packs for English that have text to speech voices: that is I already have the U.S. pack as I live in the U.S.. I acquired the Canada pack, the Britain pack, the Australia pack, and the India pack, which are, I believe, the only packs to come with text to speech on offer. However, while I can access the voices in the speech page under the Windows 10 settings screen (accessed via windows+i and via the start menu etc) I cannot access the voices either via NVDA's Microsoft SAPI interface or via the text-to-speech properties screen under the Control Panel software within Windows 10. This is interesting and intriguing, and I will explain why in a moment, after I ask my general question, which is this: How can I make my computer in general and NVDA in specific recognize these many new and finely crafted voices from Microsoft that appear in one place and not another? If I can, please tell me how. If I can't, please tell me why. Also, direct me to the smart and gifted person in the Microsoft corporate structure that thought that was brilliant. Now, here's for the interesting situation: After I got the Microsoft Speech Platform working, I returned to trying to unlock and use the mythical Eva voice. I'm not sure who has heard of this voice, but it's supposed to be the voice of Cortana, especially when there isn't a pre-recorded bit of Cortana's voice actor to be had. In fact, you can often hear this voice if you ask esoteric questions of the Cortana system. At any rate, I had tried to acquire and use the Eva voice before with no success. I decided to try again only this time, I was successful. I was able to use the Eva voice with NVDA and to find it in the tts properties screen under Control Panel. However, interestingly, I was not able to locate the MS Eva voice under the speech screen in Settings. Then, high on success, I acquired all of those language packs, as I initially said, earlier in my message. Those show up in settings under Region and Language and under Speech, all under the Personalization screen. However, something interesting happened. I acquired another voice under Control Panel and via NVDA: Hazel, a Brittish voice. I was surprised to say the least. Not only was this a new voice from a different language pack, it showed up in Settings, under Control Panel, and in NVDA, something that only David and Zira, the original Windows 10 voices had done before. Also interestingly, Hazel is the exact duplicate of Susan, another British voice that only shows up under the Settings' speech screen. Needless to say, this is a rather confusing and interesting situation that we have here, and there is an obvious disconnect between what we perceive as SAPI and what is being presented to us. I'd really be interested in getting to the bottom of it, and I hope that the fascination of this enigma can cause my fellows here to overlook the off-topic nature of the post.

[Audyssey] Manamon: What's magic?
Ok, so someone else might have already asked this question, but I'm a little late to the Manamon party, and I need to ask it now. We have strength and defense, which are for physical attacks, but we also have magic attack and magic defense. This is confusing: Is magic attack and magic defense strictly linked to the magic type manamon/attack, meaning everything from electric to sound to poison to a punch are purely physical? If not, what is magic attack? And what about the moves (which all seem to be known as spells) that raise defense? Are they just spells because it's a convenient word? Are magic attack and magic defense misnomers? what's going on with it? -- Signed: Dakotah Rickard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A demo of the next game from N A Soft.
This sounds pretty cool. I'm not personally very familiar with the underground, the subway, the metro, et cetera, but I like the idea of a train sim that simulates trains, as it were. I don't know if the tracks are always level, but I think it'd be interesting to present challenges beyond schedules and timing, random events, accidents, other trains, so forth and so on. Overall, this is a fantastic concept alpha, and I'm looking forward to seeing what more you choose to do. On 8/3/16, Ian McNamara wrote: > When this game is available i will be getting it for sure.

[Audyssey] AudioQuake
Hi everyone. I recently found the new, better way to play AudioQuake, the newer version that's a zipped archive. The difficulty is this. It don't understand how to add and play mods. I changed the qmod to a zip and extracted it into its own sub directory of the audioquake directory, but I don't know how to make it play from within the launcher, and I don't know if I'm doing it all the steps. Hope for the help. -- Signed: Dakotah Rickard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming on windows tablets?
The plain fact is that the Windows on these is generally 32-bit. Also, as for "running stuff off an sd card" that's just how these are made now. As for the surface, as I said you might be better off going with a laptop if you're getting into that price point. It's not that the surface is bad. Far from it. It's just that the Surface is kind of like the ultrabook of tablets. What I mean is that its footprint is good. If you get the Surface or Surface Pro 3, you're not looking at dealing with Windows RT, which we can't really use. It's just that the surface is generally several hundred dollars. At that point, you could just get a laptop with a decent battery and an ssd which might suit your needs better. I have several games, dropbox, and basic productivity stuff on my tablet, and that does take me past the 32 gb mark. However, I was floating beneath that for a good while. You also must remember that you can install games to sd cards. It's not a bad setup, just one you should consider carefully.

Re: [Audyssey] gaming on windows tablets?
Hi. I have used a Dell Venue 8 Pro 64 GB tablet now as my primary Windows device for about a year. It has the Atom processor they all have, which escapes my memory at the moment, but I know it's a z something. They either all have the f or g varient of that processor until you get into the laptop price point, where you start seeing intel Core brand. The thing is the one I've tried is a 2 GB ram variety. I wanted to see what a 1 GB was like, but I imagine it makes much more use of the page file and therefore suffers a little. They all use MMC, which is like an sd card, until you get into big name ones like the Ms Surface. I can tell you this right now. We do not have any games that will tax the system. If you want to play Swamp, either get a bluetooth mouse or something similar, and you'll be fine. I'm about to go into technical stuff. I've finished my basic info packet, so if you're not interested in product reviews and recommended configurations, you can stop here. As I said, I used the Dell Venue 8 Pro. I bought it as an early adopter. The Windows tablet market has exploded at this point manufatcturers popping up with new ones fairly frequently. When I bought in, there were just a few: the Dell Venue 8 Pro series (one with 32 gb and 1 gig of ram, the other, mine, with 64 gb and 2 gigs of ram), the Toshiba Encore 2 (with similar specs), the Lenovo Miix2 which was in my oppinion, the worse buy), and the TransformerBook by either Asus or Acer (I have a hard time with keeping those straight). My Dell has served me well. I bought a Fintie Folio case which came with a bluetooth 3.0 keyboard. It basically was a laptop when unfolded. I also bought a bluetooth mouse. Both are sufficient for gaming, though the keyboard is a little bit truncated. If you take gaming very seriously, I suggest a workstation setup at home with a dedicated Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, or a keyboard with trackpad if you prefer. Please be aware that any of those early adopters tend to have some slight issues. My Dell wireless card occasionally decides to flip out, taking the bluetooth with it. A quick restart generally fixes this, but It's something to be aware of, especially if you don't take the time to learn how to use your touchscreen with a screen reader. Speaking of screen readers, I haven't used the Jaws For Windows screen reader in several years. NVDA is my current preference, and it works well enough on my tablet. In fact, I strongly suggest the touchscreen add-on, as the tablet's touchscreen can actually be quite useful. Aside from this, I have used Microsoft Narrator with great success on a keyboard and on the touchscreen. Far gone are the days where Narrator is a joke. NVDA is better, but Narrator is far from crap. It's probably right around as good as Talkback, if you use Android, though not quite so good as Voiceover. It has the advantage of always working in every prompt, something which NVDA (and JAWS for Windows, as I understand) don't. It is good, in my oppinion, to learn Narrator at least a little. It's on every Windows computer, and it's good to know it in case a better option is unavailable for whatever reason. Frankly, I strongly recommend a different tablet. The Nextbook Flexx 10.1 and 11.6 inch are both good. Both come with a keyboard that sticks on with a latching connection. It includes a trackpad, and the keyboard has two standard size usb ports, if you want to plug stuff in. Both the 10 and 11 inch varients come with 2 gigs of ram and the same intel Atom processor. However, generally the reasons for getting a tablet are multiple. Price is generally a factor, as is portability. I have loved my Dell for that. It's an 8-inch tablet, so there've been plenty of times where I could put it in a pocket. That's freedom. The other reason is price. The Intel Atom equipped tablets are generally cheaper than laptops all-round. Let's keep these in mind. If you look into the Nextbooks, there are 7 and 8 inch varieties. These do have 32 gb of internal storage which is fine, I'll get to that in a second, but they both only have a gig of ram. 1 gb of ram is, by me at least, untested. As for space, 32 gb can fill up pretty fast, but frankly, most of our games deal best with being installed to a non-default location, so using sd cards just makes sense. All Windows tablets support up to 64 gb micro sd cards, and 32 gb cards are particularly cheap right now. Be careful and selective, and you'll have plenty of space. I have appreciated my 64 gb tablet, but having 32 gb of space is not a dealbreaker. Just keep in mind the ram. The other reason I mentioned was price. There's no doubt. If you shop around and buy new, tablets are generally cheaper until you get into Microsoft Surface territory and similar. That 11-inch Nextbook two-in-one (tech speak for a tabletish laptop or a laptopish tablet) is, right now, a little over $200. It gets cheaper. I've seen it down hovering just
Re: [Audyssey] DMNB questions
I actually really support him in this, as long as he's careful. In the mainstream game Skyrim, people complained the world was small. Actually, it was really quite large. The problem is, people had a way to travel quickly from place to place. DMNB was the same. The ships all had unique layouts, but people just teleported from place to place. If he's into the game, it'll be better. Personally, I think he'll do it, but dm is an active universe project with lots of entries. Let's see what happens. Also, I really hope someone else will make another MMO. It's awesome to see us slightly move away from muds and more toward realtime MMO style gameplay. I only wish I had the skill to do it myself. It would be awesome. Maybe when my kids are older, or maybe if the moon turns blue.

Re: [Audyssey] DMNB questions
Actually, he did say he was pulling the game for a major overhaul. Leaving the stable version up posed two problems: 1: The version up still produced significant errors, and keeping track of that was consuming too much time. 2: the rewritten version is going to be significantly different from what is currently available. Thus, he's not continuuing the legacy edition.

Re: [Audyssey] A blind legend.
Don't know if it has replay value, but it's not over in twenty minutes. I finished Nightjar in about an hour, the oringinal Papa Sangre in maybe two and a half. I'm still not done with this one, and it's been several. Now, once I'm done, I may never play it again, but it's worth playing, at least once.

Re: [Audyssey] A blind legend.
Hi. You earn lives back at a rate of one per twenty minutes. As for the sword, have you tried using your shield to protect yourself, to get an idea of when to swing? You can also use it to bash opponents' weapons aside, letting you get a couple hits in. Not every enemy will let you hit them as they shout or strike.

Re: [Audyssey] iPhone game controllers for games like Zombie Arena, BlindSide, and A Blind Legend.
The controllers that I'm aware of connect via bluetooth. They are generally a little limited in scope. There aren't that many games, that I'm aware of, that actually use them. it's the trouble with these controllers. I don't know how they're implemented, if there's a common library for their use, if they give the same data to the device, anything. Also, Shawn, iOS is a little picky about what it lets connect via bluetooth. In theory, you could use a wii controller, though I think that the app would have to handle the connection, as the phone would, I think, not allow it.

Re: [Audyssey] iPhone game controllers for games like Zombie Arena, BlindSide, and A Blind Legend.
For Blindside and Audio Defense, at least, it would be interesting to have these controlers. I haven't played Blind Legend, so ... no opinion. It's always nice to have multiple options. Still, the two games I have played offer the most emersion with the accelerometer option. The finger swipe option is workable, as (I suppose) is the tilt option for some, but the motion control option feels most ... interactive. I think that adding the controlers to these titles would be cool, but I'd also like, maybe like more, if the developers were simply more aware of our interest in these devices. IF people are more aware of our interest and the devices's availability, I'm sure they could come up with even more interesting and appropriate titles for the controler style of gameplay.

Re: [Audyssey] games for IOS?
Honestly, if your district has restricted it you're pretty much out of luck. You can't sideload apps on an apple device the same way you can on an Android one. Even if you had the app store icon (which you probably do somewhere because there's no multi-user support as I know of), but even if you had the icon, you'd need an ID and password. That's just the plain facts. Trying to get around that somehow might, possibly, work, depending on how it's been restricted, but they'll know, and you'll probably lose the device, and more importantly, their trust.

Re: [Audyssey] xbox accessibility?
Let's assume that the xBox can run something like NVDA. The difficulty, then, would be input. NVDA could read and recognize the text you're on, but you'd have to be pretty careful about creating non-conflicting NVDA-based input commands, then implementing them in your xBox's local copy. That's assuming that it would actually run NVDA at all. I'm actually pretty interested in just how blurred the lines are between something like an xBox 1 or 3'60 and a standard windows or windows RT/Phone device. What with Windows 10 promising a lot of cross-compatibility with the xBox and what with many games being offered on PC, I see the decline of the console market as something akin to inevitable. I think the future of the console is going to be what they tried to do with the xBox 1, a fully featured entertainment and communications hub, basically a Microsoft set-top box that could get streaming TV, play games and music, and could make and receive video calls. The dedicated console market is basically supplanted by something we can use with at least some success, the personal computer. Still, if the xBox turned out to be accessible, or the PS 4 for that matter, that'd be another reason to consider getting one, if only for the experience of actually being able to use the thing. Sorry for what turned out to be a long, slightly rambling message. Still, here's hoping it was helpful.

Re: [Audyssey] free accessible ios games
I think that if we want a multi-player rpg on the order of what people're looking at now, we're going to have to make it ourselves, as the amount of information coming in is a bit staggering for on-screen Voiceover navigation, especially as many people seem to swipe through elements rather than locating them onscreen. Still, the list of accessible free iOS games is growing. Awesome! On 2/22/15, Travis Siegel wrote: > I just wanted to let folks know, just in case they didn't know.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio rpg kickstarter
My concern now is that they're so far from their goal. I've recently exited college and am looking for work. What this means is that, for now, I'm in the same boat as much of the community: between/without job. This game, fortunately, isn't a blind-only thing, but they are significantly short of their goal, and there's little I can do, at this point, to assist them. Trust me. Given the choice, I'd put a thousand stirling toward their goal. I am simply unable to do so. Still, if I can, I'll do, and I'll certainly spread the word. I'm looking forward to projects like this, which are becoming more and more common as game audio gains prevalence.

Re: [Audyssey] audio games popularity
I play a Bowling game called Strike, though I can't recall the developer at the moment. That game is all but accessible, the only thing missing, as in the case of your game, being the pins remaining. There are several options for this. I suggest that they be enablable options. The first is to have the remaining pins announced by number. The second is to offer a stereo representation of remaining pins somehow. The least emersive would be to have beeps at the various locations, lower pitch representing the distance/row. The most emersive would probably be a little harder to grasp, but it might be something like this. the pins that are knocked down are taken away. This makes a slight sound, and wherever the sound isn't, that's where the remaining pins are. If this process proceeded left to right, back to front, or some other patern consistently, it would be relatively easy to figure out the position of the remaining pins with a little practice.

[Audyssey] Game Development, Accessibility, and a Future worth Fighting For
ed, try to advocate for something that will actually bridge the gap. Back briefly to game audio, and to tie it in with what I'm getting at, consider the eponymous Audiogames.net. My suggestion that that sight be about audiogames rather than games for the blind has been shot down, twice. So in conclusion, I'm saying two discrete yet poignant things. First, our developers are indie developers. Almost by definition, that means they aren't going to make much money off their games, compared to someone at a major studio. Second, one of the reasons we make so little money is that we don't try to include sighted persons in our gaming environment. We have a golden opportunity to change number 1 by changing number 2. Will it change the way everything is done? No. Will it do something positive? How could it do anything else? -- Signed: Dakotah Rickard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] About pc games
I'm only the most basic kind of hobbyist programmer right now. I have the logic, but I don't fully understand the creation tools. However, I have started and stopped enough projects to understand what Tom is saying about motivation. Jeremy/Aprone faced the same difficulty with Swamp. However, I also understand something else. A team keeps people motivated by offering support, encouragement, and the occasional kick in the butt. A team of people is generally listed in the credits for every indie game out there and every mainstream game. Our developers seem to occasionally work on teams, but the majority, the ones as part of this topic, the vast majority, work alone. alone, there is just that one person doing everything. Not only is the project their baby alone, their precious work, it is their responsibility if they lose motivation. If they get burnt out, then a lot of people get disappointed. The fact of the matter is that there's a long history of piracy in our community to overcome. There are three choices: make a game with stringent product protection, something that requires a by-Skype or by-phone activation, keep going with medium protection and hope people will not pirate it too much, or go with low product protection but make the kind of smash-hit game that makes people want to pay, the kind of game that people can really get righteous about. I think options 1 and 3 are good. However option 3 has the advantage of guaranteeing us something fantastic. No matter the option, anything done works better with a team. Yes, a team means conflict, disagreement, but it also means something truly memorable. It means that we can have something truly amazing.

Re: [Audyssey] first attempt at Audio Defense
I have to laugh at myself. I generally use my iPhone for standing play, my iPad for relaxed playgh When standing, I find myself in a relaxed shooter's stance, left hand holding the phone, flat vertically, I use my right hand to fire and reload, pointing the narrow profile of the phone at my targets! I also find myself chopping at zombies with my melee weapon, rather than shaking the device. Maybe I'm getting a little too into it.

[Audyssey] A Brief Tribute; was: Pizza Delivery
Jim, I thought about sending you this off-list, as it's a bit off-topic, but I thought, why? It's worth saying publicly. Anyway, I remember owning my first pc more than 15 years ago (I'm 26 now). I was at first very sad. I couldn't find any games out there for the blind. I wanted games. I have always loved games. Who hasn't? Somehow, I'm not sure how anymore, i found your website. I played every game on that site, played until I knew every part. The original Mach1 is still, in my humble opinion, a great racing game. The fact that you have put out so many different kinds of games is amazing. The fact that they're all free is borderline miraculous. You may not remember, but I sent you an email a while back, asking permission to build on a couple of your game concepts if I started making games. It would have been reasonable, expected, that you would be upset, but instead, you welcomed my additions. Your openness and warmth are an important part of what makes you such an admirable person, a fantastic developer. Thank you for giving me hope so long ago, for giving me untold hours of entertainment, for doing an awesome and inspiring job. - Signed: Dakotah Rickard On 12/9/14, Jim Kitchen wrote: > Hi Josh, > > Thank you very much for saying so.

Re: [Audyssey] Best roldplaying games.
Well, I personally like the Choice Of Games and Hosted Games stuff: same style, same developer, sort of. Also, if you just want a casual grinder, try Level-Op, I think it's called. The TIconBlue or whatever are supposed to be good,, but they're frankly too expensive in my humble opinion. Hmmm. There aren't too many that I've played at least. King of Dragon Pass doesn't really count, because it's more of a civ game, but it's good. There are more games, but I can't really vouch for them because I haven't played them and don't know anything about them.

Re: [Audyssey] suggestion for park boss
How about different kinds of coasters, as in something like Rollercoaster tycoon: wood or steel construction, either straight, hilly, curvy, upside down, etc. Just a thought of something maybe to add to a great game, unique to anything we have on offer. I've been wondering how long it'd take before we got a tycoon game of sorts. Please, you guys, keep making them this awesome.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Honestly, I've never once generated a park report. Granted, my first park went bankrupt at sometime around week 65, because I couldn't seem to balance my prices. My second one... I don't even know what happened. It went from a balance of about 300,000 pounds to negative by about that much in two weeks. It was ... I don't even know.

Re: [Audyssey] rpg quest game for ios
To provide more detail, I encountered it on Android. I think it was RPG quest. I haven't had an android device in about six months, but I think that was the name. It's pretty neat and very accessible. On 6/17/14, Dakotah Rickard wrote: > Maxcraft is pretty stripped down.

Re: [Audyssey] rpg quest game for ios
Maxcraft is pretty stripped down. Level Up, by Ape Apps, is a bit more detailed, but not too much. It's just that both are a decent to pick up and play. I'm trying the text rpg. However, I wish that rpg quest was on iOS. It's on Android. It's pretty good.

Re: [Audyssey] Virtual hex maps, an audio game aid
I can say this. The problem with a hex map is the fact that it's a hex map. Consider this. Grids are easy, because they're 90-degree matrices or arrays of coordinates. I was just thinking about how to make a hex map. How would you describe the coordinates? Would you use coordinates? I mean, I could make a program, but it's a bit odd. For example: imagine a brief hex setup. A is at 1, 1. B is at 2, 1, which is either above or below 1, 1. It's offset, too. 1, 2 is below 1, 1 and 2, 1 is between and to the right. See the problem? 1, 1 could be next to 2, 2, and 1, 3 is below 1, 1. Is that sufficient? I mean, I could totally do that, and then maybe we could set up a model positioning system, but I want to know if that's sufficient, and I want to know if you find the 1 1, 2 2, 3 1 positioning system sufficient. It sounds a lot like the spreadsheet thing.

[Audyssey] BGT Gaming SourceCode
Hi guys. Is there anyone who has written a game or tech demo in BGT who would be willing to let me see the source code? I'm really thinking about moving forward with this, at least until I get better at c-sharp and visual studios, but I don't get a good idea of a language from tutorials alone. I'd like to see how stuff comes together with an actual example. If there is a full example in the BGT documentation, I missed it. Please point it out to me. Hopefully, any help you provide will later result in a game that people might enjoy. -- Signed: Dakotah Rickard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

First of all, in the contracts screen, it lists the planets' locations, but in the nav screen it doesn't. Second, the music appears to be stuck for me. The android version has several different music, but the iOS version seems stuck on the combat music after you begin the game. Have you guys seen all the games on Android? There are so many by these guys. Unfortunately, I think only Star Traders really works, but there are a plenty. I wish they'd port those to iOS for us. Also, one thing to consider.

Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Actually, I think you missed the point of my message a little. Sighted people are actually starting to Cara great deal about games, however there has been a resurgence of retro or fake retro games in the gamer community. As you are probably aware, retro games would involve games that have very little emphasis placed on sound. If the choice in the 1980s was put such that sound or visuals had to be prioritized, visuals would win. Minecraft, like terraria, like DLC quest, like many others has embraced this idea of minimalist sounds.

Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Hi guys. First of all, there's a sort of minimalist trend in the sighted gaming community. There're a lot of fake 8-bit offerings and offerings with minimal sound and graphics, primarily because independent developers and very small studios are really driving the community at this point. Minecraft was developed by, I think, five guys or so. It's made them millionaires many times over, and frankly I don't like the concept. I rather like Terraria, and I wish more people played it. It's different from Minecraft, the music and feeling of the game are different, the mechanics are different. Will we ever be able to play this precise kind of game? No. There're too many chances of missing something important, but there are other and varied ways to make the same thing work.Soundscaping, terrain blocks making different sounds, adaptive music, etc. If someone wanted me to brainstorm for them on how to make a game like Terraria work for the blind, I will happily do so. I don't have the coding skills to actually make it work (my best and only computer game to date is a crappy port of Lunar Lander I put together in a C-Sharp class). I have the knowledge of what is possible to code and a vague idea of how to do it though, so I probably wouldn't be asking for anything too radical. I'm eager for this style of game, among others. I've talked to a couple of developers privately about them, but nothing has panned out. I wish someone would play to my strengths and recruit me for ideas, story, and a bit of pseudocode. The offer is open. On 1/8/14, dark wrote: > Hi jim. > > That reminds me of the old Amigar workbench synthesisor.

Re: [Audyssey] android games
Consider this. Right now, most of the info on Android that you find on the net is outdated and not really workable in terms of research. For current data, check out the eyes-free google group. It's active, open, and friendly. Furthermore, Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0, is really making strides in terms of market numbers, and 4.2 Jellybean isn't terribly far behind. Sure, you see a bunch of people running older stuff, but that's not really the fault of the people or the device. Most Android devices have been phones and similar, devices whose upgrades aren't at consumer discression. In fact, there is good info that if carriers and device-makers would allow it, Android 4.4 would actually run pretty well even on older tech. Finally, there's the issue of suspending and reactivating Talkback. When I was a total Android newb, I didn't know how it could be done easily, but then I figured it out, and now I'm as contented with the Android market as with the iOS one. In fact, I'm starting to see some of the glaring holes in iOS that I missed before. I suppose my basic point is this. Why not try it? Why not develop a simple game, charge a buck for it, and see if people take the bait. Better yet, get people interested with a completely awful free game, then just increase your price point from there. The time and energy involved wouldn't be too large a commitment, as Android development can easily be done in Java, a program language both familiar and relatively easy to use and implement. Don't give up on Android just yet, and don't assume that anything you find out, unless it's both current and first-hand is an accurate portrayal of the capabilities of Android. I don't know if this will change your mind, but I hope it will open the door and plant a seed.

Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Hi guys. I'm not sure how open this topic is anymore, but there's another game that I think you guys should be aware of. It's a bit like Minecraft, but it's in a 2d setting, a side scroller. That would be both a lot more doable and a lot easier to actually pull off as an accessible game. I'm not suggesting that we could play Terraria either, but it's a concept worth looking at, and frankly I think it's a much better game than Minecraft.

Re: [Audyssey] Civilization games on PC or iPhone
Lords and knights isn't really a civ builder game. It's a castle builder, and it does that remarkably well, even down to the jerks who send thousands of troops against you without warning or provocation: that's a tiny personal rant. And you find that in pretty much every online game of the type. As for civ games, we don't really have so much, but one game I wish we could have ported was Alpha Centauri, another cid Mayers game where you and other groups of settlers land on a planet and colonize it. Everyone is unique, every leader is different, and there's a lot of flavor in the game. I don't think it would be unportable, though I doubt that acquiring the rights to do so or getting anyone corporate to do so would really work. The thing is, civ games aren't really that hard to set up, in terms of the internal mechanics. It's the interface that would take most of the time. They're really ust a list of stats with perks and penalties. It's not hard. I just don't know enough about interface development to pull it off, but maybe someone would work with me and we could put it all together. The sad thing is that it's easy to code but hard to brainstorm, though I'm a really good brainstormer and a really lousy coder. If anyone's interested in actually making one, i'll sit down and talk with you about anything you migt want or need. On 12/7/13, K wrote: > sid meiers made some great games.

Re: [Audyssey] Any Accessible Android Games
Android is really starting to get a good bit of momentum behind it in terms of accessibility and interesting accessible titles. The problem is, you're really only going to see those for a bit on really good phones or nexus devices. That's why, in my opinion, getting an iPhone is your best bet, if you haven't made your choice yet. Also, as a note, if you're in the U.S., as I think you are, try checking out Wal-Mart's Black Friday stuff. I think I remember seeing that you could get an iPhone 5c on the big two mobile carriers for $45 and a 5s for $100. I might be wrong, but if I'm not, that's really really good.

Re: [Audyssey] Draconis Releases DoItWrite 1.0
I chose at an early age to learn how to write, and though I haven't used this app, I have played around with Voiceover's handwriting function. I can pretty much get it to recognize everything except a couple of punctuation marks, and yes. The letters look like letters, or at least, the way I write my letters gets recognized by voiceover, so ... uh, maybe I'm not actually answering your question.

Re: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games
I have a good suggestion. I know it's good because I've used it a lot. Don't overcomplicate things. The more you add, the more you'll want to add. Having various skills as buyables, having various weapons and shields and armor and such as another type of buyable, all that sounds not only feasible but relatively easier to code. If you end up working out how fight differs from fight, how opponent differs from opponent, then you'll have to create a rather larger interface than maybe you intended.

Re: [Audyssey] Any Accessible Android Games
There's one more thing. If you buy an app on the Apple App store, and it turns out not to be accessible, as I understand it, there's no refund. However, if you buy an app from the Google Play store, and it doesn't work or you don't like it or what have you, you can uninstall the app within 24 hours and you get a full refund. This means that people can explore apps with greater security on Android than on iOS. this is definitely a boon for the Android platform. On 11/12/13, Dakotah Rickard wrote: > Ok.

[Audyssey] Games on Android
Hi there. I'm the proud owner of the 2013 Nexus 7 FHD, and I think it's quite a neat little tablet. It runs pretty well, and Android 4.3 is neat, but I, as is my wont, would like to load the device up with games and neato stuff like that. I've done some googling, and I found a couple of titles, but nothing too spiffy, and I figured that some of you guys would be gamer gurus of the Android order, so here I am, humbly requesting your suggestions, ideas, oppinions, app recommendations, and so forth. Granted, I could e-mail the Eyes Free group, but hey. I figured I'd start here for games, and some of you guys are on Eyes Free anyhow, so why double up? -- Signed: Dakotah Rickard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Solara
Landscape mode is where your phone's screen is sideways, and Voiceover will announce when your home button should be to the left or right. Also, try touching the screen in different places to allow you to learn where things are. This will be important in iOS 7, as it has messed up several things to do with Solara. Still, it's a great game.

Re: [Audyssey] Lords and Knights map and reports
As for the map, if scrolling and touching aren't enough, that's all anyone has. Sighted folks don't get a distance reading either. I suggest using the "Send Resources" or "Support" options when you tap a castle to get a direct time reading. As for the alliance, castle, and player links, double tap and hold to activate them.

[Audyssey] AppleVis.com and AudioGames.net in a new world
I'm sorry, but I finally have to post on this. AppleVis is a terrific resource. It's a place to find out which apps are accessible and which are not, though I questioned the wisdom of having a category of completely unusable apps, unless the apps are going to be the subject of one of their petitioning campaigns, as it.ought to be inferred that if an app isn't listed as accessible, it's either not accessible or the community doesn't know about it. Frankly, I'm more than a little fed up with all iOS questions getting the catch-all answer of "Go check AppleVis." First of all, AppleVis is a resource, not the only resource. Second, people seem to read that the message is about Apple products and automatically mention AppleVis, no matter what the message is actually about, like some sort of broken pop-up ad. Many of the messages are, in fact, looking for relevant human advice on a forum specifically created to talk about gaming within the visually impaired community. Now, I could understand if the person sending the query had just purchased a new Apple device. In fact, I would support mentioning AppleVis at that point, because it's a great resource, which everyone should know about. The other problem with so heavily relying on AppleVis is that Apple isn't the PC, and AppleVis isn't AudioGames.net. What I mean is this: Apple itself, and therefore its partners, subsidiaries, and developer community, are more conscious of accessibility as an on-going concern than are the respective Windows and PC equivalents. What I'm getting at is that, simply because accessibility is both more conscious and easier, people are more likely to add it, purposefully or not, as a product feature. Except for MUDs and similar niche market text adventures and the occasional browser game, AudioGames.net is largely populated by purpose-built games, usually but not always developed by people in our blind community. The Games that aren't on AudioGames.net aren't usually playable for us, or playing them is quite a bit more difficult, simply due to lack of sight. AppleVis is a bit like AudioGames.net, in that it too is a community of mostly visually impaired people discussing games. Granted, AppleVis has a larger scope, including all AppStore categories, but they are similar as relates to games. The difference, as I have illustrated, is that in relying on only one PC resource, we aren't really missing out on any accidentally discovered gold mines, but we will be, if we treat Apple resources similarly, and the autopilot, Everyman answer to just check AppleVis is a big step down a short road in that direction. Please don't waste this golden opportunity which we now have, to integrate our isolated community into the world at large by falling into the comfortable prison of old habit.

Re: [Audyssey] Kintchens Inc Game Request
In researching the various languages I could utilize, I found that C++ doesn't seem to offer much in the way of advantage over C# in terms of what you can actually do with it, especially when you weigh it against the difficulties inherent in programming in that language.

Re: [Audyssey] Kintchens Inc Game Request
I can attest to that. I'm looking at writing games in c# with xna, and it's gonna be rough. That's why I try to at least put implementation details in with requests. Also, as Jim has made several successful local multiplayer games, I didn't find it too awkward to write out my requests. By the way, if someone made that cost/feature site thing I talked about a couple months ago, putting in descriptions of each feature and its required components and workload might help non-programmers more easily comprehend the scope of the requests they're making. Also, just a quick thought/tip that I keep running across, unless the game's design specifically precludes it, design the game's back-end as though their will be some kind of multiplayer, because then if people want it, implementation doesn't mean a rewrite of huge chunks of your code. Everybody wins, and it usually doesn't require a great divergence from standard design principles.
