Re: [Audyssey] Releasing Some Old Text Games
I'd be interested in one of those myself. there are several such kits. addrift aparently is good but I have not bothered with that much. glulx inform7 is a good language some of the stuff is real snazy. Hugo, is the other I have tried all quite good. as for toolkits there is not a real toolkit. there is audio game maker which is crap and not in development. there is the adventure engine by enspired code which I have no info on, it was in beta but don't know if its out or not. you would have to buy it but there is a wizzard and a language doc for it I know that for sure.

Re: [Audyssey] Releasing Some Old Text Games
Hi Shaun, If you mean by native Win32 application an application that draws it's own window via the Microsoft Win32 API as apposed to operating in a console environment point well taken. Although, no can do in this case. That would require totally rewriting the games from scratch for a specific platform, Windows, which I certainly don't want to do. From my very brief examination of the code they use very common input/output functions like printf, scanf, getch(), etc. Since the games do they already are more or less cross platform games. There are a few things I'll change like instead of having system call cls to clear the screen I'll write my own clear screen function to be more operating system indipendant. A few miner things like that, and they will be 100% platform independant. At least the source code will be.

Sounds fun. What sort of games did you design Tom? Anything exploration based? Beware the Grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 9:58 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Releasing Some Old Text Games Hello everyone, over the last couple of days or so I have been looking through some of my old back ups when I found the source code for some old games I had written years ago. Most of these were text games I had written while I was a college student just learning Visual Basic, C++, Java, etc. My thought is I could spend some time, clean up the source code, fix any errors, or whatever then release them as free games. Is anyone interested in some free text games for Windows, Mac, and Linux? For the most part the kinds of games I am talking about here is basic board and card games like Black Jack, Life, Tick Tack Toe, Checkers, Hangman, etc. Basically, the same kind of games you can get from Jim Kitchen or Spoonbill without the sound effects. Although, the difference here is the majority of these were written in C/C++ so I can easily make Windows, Linux, and Mac OS versions without any major changes in the source code. If you want additional Sapi or Gnome-Speech support that also is possible though I would think most of you probably would be fine with just the text. Any thoughts on this?

Re: [Audyssey] Releasing Some Old Text Games
Hi Charles, Well, they are already accessible since I wrote them to play long before I knew Audyssey existed. Though, since I am focusing mainly on MOTA it might be a while before I get a chanse to work on these old games. I want to basically do a line by line evaluation of the code, perhaps rewrite some things that were not written correctly, and perhaps update the code to meat current programming standards. I know just by looking at the files that the code looks really old. Old as in out of date,and using header files, libraries, etdc no longer in existance, or have changed names, and so on. Smile.

Most of these were text games I had written while I was a college student just learning Visual Basic, C++, Java, etc. My thought is I could spend some time, clean up the source code, fix any errors, or whatever then release them as free games. Is anyone interested in some free text games for Windows, Mac, and Linux? For the most part the kinds of games I am talking about here is basic board and card games like Black Jack, Life, Tick Tack Toe, Checkers, Hangman, etc. Basically, the same kind of games you can get from Jim Kitchen or Spoonbill without the sound effects. Although, the difference here is the majority of these were written in C/C++ so I can easily make Windows, Linux, and Mac OS versions without any major changes in the source code. If you want additional Sapi or Gnome-Speech support that also is possible though I would think most of you probably would be fine with just the text. Any thoughts on this?

[Audyssey] Releasing Some Old Text Games

Is anyone interested in some free text games for Windows, Mac, and Linux? For the most part the kinds of games I am talking about here is basic board and card games like Black Jack, Life, Tick Tack Toe, Checkers, Hangman, etc. Basically, the same kind of games you can get from Jim Kitchen or Spoonbill without the sound effects.
