Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
I'm not sure jim, sinse on the one hand it is realistic, though as you said on the other it can alter the fairness of the game. One thing perhaps that might help would be actually having the player told when bad conditions on the course got in the way of their swing rather like with the messages in baseball that tell you where the balls went (I know commentary in golf matches isn't normal, but hay). Something like "from the bad lie on this shot the ball only traveled x amount of yards towards the green" or "the wind got in the way of that one so it only went x yards" or "it hits some hilly ground and bounces traveling x amount of yards", or "long grass stops the ball from rolling so it only goes x yards" obviously you wouldn't want that every single shot, but say when the randomization got to a particularly large point of interference, you get one of those messages to explain what went wrong. this could also add some extra variety to the game and environments. Obviously in real golf the condition of the ground and weather have an affect upon where the ball goes as well as the swing, and sinse the randomization is included to simulate this, - why not describe it?

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi jim. Interesting, though I'd stil be concerned that the shot would basically fall down to that randomization factor sinse all percentages could just be worked out. For example, say you were 90 yards from the green. the pitching wedge has a max distance of 120 yards, thus to get a precise shot you'd just need to go 75 percent. Yes, there is variation, but sinse you could always! be sure to go that 75 percent, the variation would make the difference thus making the a lot of shots an exercize in chance more than skill. With the sound files though, not only do you need to select the right club and calculate the percentage, but then have precise enough timing to hit that percentage with the file. This is actually a brilliant example of what I was talking about, sinse calculating the position on those sound files, as well as knowing what the right position is requires far more than just fast reactions, it also requires judgement and calculation. this is probably why the golf game has been so popular. - Original Message - From: "Jim Kitchen" To: "dark" Sent: Friday, January 06, 2012 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows? Hi Dark, In the original golf game, the amount of power that you could type in was from 1 to 99 percent of power. But the thing is, there is a bit of randomization built into the game. You know like You are 42 yards from the green and 18 yards off line. The off line is most of the randomization, but even the total yards that the shot travels varies because of the off line thing.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi jim. I can't imagine writing in the power needed for golf, wouldn't that make the hole game far too easy? for instance on a 279 yard hole pulling out your three wood and typing 279 and just getting a hole in one, rather than having to judge the sound file? As to sims, well in a way I think you've already coded a good few of the basic elements. Starmule for instance involves making decisions with a prophit vs loss catagory over time, and trucker involves a number of factors that change over time with you deciding what needs doing. A basic sim just needs a number of resources to manage, projects that require those resources which must be completed either as goals in themselves or to generate more resources, and random effects that may occur to alter either the resources or the completion of projects. For instance, one dos game I read a review of recently had you piloting a spaceship to neptune. Every tick your ship used fuel and battery power. You could generate more battery power by burning fuel, and could refuel at a number of stop off points along the way. Each turn you decided on your speed and your course, sinse different courses required different amounts of fuel and batteries and could propell you different distances. However you also had various desasters and failures that would affect your ship, taking either fuel, distance or time to fix, or negating some of the course correction options, though these could be fixed by picking up spare parts at the few way stations. Yes, this is! a litle like trucker, but with more factors to manage and far fewer stops. A spacial map is also sometimes used to add puzle type space elements into the mix, for instance where to build roads in a sim city type game but this isn't completely necessary, especially when there are a lot of factors in the game. A game with that sort of play style, managing a number of factors over time in the face of randomness and limited risk, something like trucker but with more complexity would be a good one I think. Beware the grue! Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Dark, That's cool. The only version of Oregon Trail that I have played was a GW Basic version. Seems though that it is a very stripped down version.

I added 3 and saw that the courses themselves only took a few numbers and descriptions to define them, so I then made the golf course maker program so that others could also make courses for the game. The original golf game was pure text with no sounds. And you typed in the amount of power to hit for your shot. So I added all of the sounds including the power indicator sound thing. However the original did have some ASCII graphics that were pretty cool. I stripped those out though as they would some times try to be spoken by a screen reader.

Even a very basic hack and slash dungeon adventure can be made interesting if the descriptions, loot and monsters are tweaked just a litle bit. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Realistic and random aren't necessarily the same thing there ron. For instance, in reality! if you were exploring an underground dungeon you'd do far more walking around finding nothing at all than batling monsters, finding treasure etc, simply because even if we imagine a world with monsters and treasure filled dungeons, they wouldn't occupy all that! much space. Look at moria in lotr, nearly four days of walking with only a couple of fairly miner jumpable cracks, no wandering monsters, only one ancient scroll and wrelick side and all the enemies are at the end with the one big boss! :D. Good in a book, but not necessarily in a game. Beware the grue! Dark. - --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Dark, Yes, adding several different random events can be fun. I recently was testing out my speech module for the Genesis Engine, using SAPI 5 support, and I wrote a simple adult interactive fiction game. The reason I chose to use my engine instead of a dedicated I.F. language is I wanted a greater degree of randomness in the game. For example, you might be eating dinner with the female character and you ask her what she would like to have. One time she might reply white wine, another red wine, another something else. It makes it so the game never quite gets boring because every time you play she'll give different answers to questions. Not only that she'll change her hair style from game to game, she'll have on a different outfit, and so on. Its not a complex game yet, but its kind of fun seeing how many variations of the same scene the game can come up with from what color of lipstick she has on to pornographic descriptions after you get her into bed. Anyway, I don't intend to release the game to the general public, but those concepts will be applied to my future games in the future. As you said adding a lot of random events makes it so a game never quite gets dull or tiring because there are so many variations and random events that you won't explore them all in the first game and probably not the second.

It's amazing though how much fun a few sets of random events that you must navigate can be. for instance the torchlight gamebook on www.arborell.comm uses several tables to create a completely randomized dungeon, rolling for the room, environmental hazard such as trap, type of monster, and treasure.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi Tom. How different are the events in the westward game? I confused that with the origan traile game people it has basically the same theme, thoughf rom what I gather the random events in the original origan traille as well as the resources you needed to keep track of were quite different. It's amazing though how much fun a few sets of random events that you must navigate can be. for instance the torchlight gamebook on www.arborell.comm uses several tables to create a completely randomized dungeon, rolling for the room, environmental hazard such as trap, type of monster, and treasure. Put these together and you've got a lot of different scenarios, even using no programming and just what is possible with rolling D10 dice. I've actually considdered trying something similar in dark grue myself. Beware the grue!

Hi Jim.

Hi Ron. There is a rather good page about tads on www.whitestick.co.uk which has a link to various tads games including colossal cave.

Hi Lisa, Smile. As Dark and others said the Zork games can be downloaded and played in Winfrotz TTS on Windows.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi Dark, Smile. Given the number of people asking for it maybe I should take some time off Tomb Hunter and write Oregon Trail. :D Seriously, though I actually have the original source for the Apple II version written in Apple Basic, and I have plans to convert it to something more modern for the PC at some future date. The game itself is not really that complicated. You start out in a store buying up a wagon, extra wheels, shells, a gun, food, etc. Then, you hit the trail. Most of it is just random stuff like your wheel broke between town x and town y and you have to replace it, or you try to fort a river and over turn your wagon losing your gear in the process. It would probably take less than a month to crank out that game as its a pretty straight forward text adventure. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi Dark, Actually I have never played the Oregon Trail game. It was written for the Apple 2e computer. Not sure what programming language that would have been. But I never owned an Apple 2e computer. And I have no application that will open the original source code. BTW I did not write the Trucker game. I found the GW Basic source code that was written by Hughes Glantzberg. I converted it to Microsoft Extended Quick Basic (PDS7) and added the sounds. Later I converted it to Windows VB6 and sapi5. The same story with the golf game. But the rest of my games I did write totally from scratch. Many of them started out in BasicA and GW Basic, then went to PDS7 and now VB6, even though they still have some of my original source code in them. Awesome Homer, Baseball, BattleShip, Black Jack, Bop It, Concentration, coupling, Craps, Draw Poker, Football, Golf, Hangman, Homer on a Harley, Life, Mach 1 tts, Master Mind, Monopoly, Pong, Puppy1, Reaction, Roulette, Simon, Skunk, Slot Machine, Snakes and Ladders, Spanker, Star Mule, Triple J Shooter, Trivia game engine, Trucker and Yahtzee Braille reference guide, Brain, Reader, Waver, Batting practice, Golf course maker, monopoly board maker BFN Jim Kitchen's Inc, for games that are up to 110 percent funner to play. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi Dark, Oh, most definitely not. There was of course a port of colossal cave done by Graham Nelson, but this is the Humongous cave written in AGT by David Momburg, and ported to Inform by Al Golden. There are actually quite a few more locations (300, if I recall correctly) and the score to achieve in this one is a thousand and one.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi jim. Actually as a serious suggestion have you ever considdered making your own origan trail type game anyway? Afterall we've not seen homer simpson in the wild west yet :D. Seriously, the amount of times I've heard the gaem mentioned on list has been amazing, meaning lots of people would like that sort of game. Even if not based on the original code, you've at least played the original, pluss you've created enough games like Trucker and Starmule, not to mention monopoly trading that seem to use similar rules. I'm fairly confident you could create a pretty awsome game of that type, which would seem to be good both for the people that miss the original, and for people like me who've never played it. Yes, I know your probably working on something else currently and I deffinately wouldn't be expecting a game released next week, stil, maybe you could considder putting it on the todo list, sinse it'd be something I think lots of people would appreciate.

I have been asked many many times for that game, and have tried, but just do not have access to the code. I would love to add sounds etc to many of the old favorite games, but without access to the code of the game, it would mean rewriting the game from scratch and trying to code it as good as the original game was, like I tried to do with Trucker and golf. Well I did actually have the original code of trucker and golf and did just add sounds and later other features. But without the original code... BFN Jim C code. C code run. Run, code, run PLEASE! j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi,Yes , Adventure in Humongous cave will workin windows; you can use the inform version using the frotz or any other zcode interpreter or the AGT version, which I believe uses a batch file.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi, There is a Z-Code version of Huge Cave in the Interactive Fiction Archive. If there is any such thing as an accessible Z-Code interpreter for Windows nowadays, it's possible to run that game under Windows. On Tue, 3 Jan 2012, Ron Kolesar wrote: Hello to my fellow gamers.

Re: [Audyssey] Any chance of making huge cave work with windows?
Hi, while I am sure this could be done it would be a very big project because you would basically be rewriting the whole thing in a new language be it some C variant, python, java, bgt script etc. So the short answer is yes but it would not be a trivial project by any means.
