Re: [Audyssey] Chess or Mahjong

2015-06-12 Thread Jeremy Brown
Thanks Dark, I'll pursue this further.  I am interested enough, both
as a blind gamer myself, and as a designer in the challenges, that I
don't want to totally give this up, but right now, I have several
other irons in the fire, and this did not turn out quite as simple a
situation as I was hoping.  (Is it ever?)  Take care,

Jeremy

 I actually went and  researched Mahjong in response to this topic.

 A lot of the complexity of coding such a beast would be your
 definition of what Mahjong is.

 There's apparently a number of different variations ranging from
 relatively simple to immensely complex.  Our card game Rummy is based
 on it.  I studied a couple of simpler multi-player versions, and had a
 simpler solitaire set up explained to me by my wife.  The game's setup
 as a solitaire game presents some unique challenges in an audio
 environment, having multiple levels, some of which you can see only
 partially that all must be displayed more or less simultaneously.  In
 the traditional games, the challenge is more one of mastering the rule
 sets well enough to create a game that accurately reproduces the game
 play.

 Warning: I did not investigate American Mahjong extensively because it
 appears much simpler and more derivative from the original versions.
 That said, it might be a way to progress.  If I were to attempt it,
 with the help of my pet coder (hi Aaron! that's you), I'd lean toward
 doing a multi-player version based on the Hong Kong old style rules I
 studied.  They seemed simple enough to master relatively easily,
 complex enough to be interesting, and different enough from card games
 to present a unique challenge.  That said, I don't see it happening
 any time soon.  I need to get a Mahjong set and experiment with it
 before I could design an AI that played even reasonably well.

 Take care,

 Jeremy

 I believe the game toodle tiles from american printing house for the blind
 was based on the solo version of mahjong, or one of them at any rate, but to

 be honest between the game's serious repackaging as a gamefirmly and
 distinctly aimed at children (even the documentation is written to sell to
 teachers), and the fact I've never got the demo of the bloody thing to work,

 I can't say for certain either way.

 Still, you can find links on audiogames.net. Once upon a time there was a
 podcast about the game which I heard (which is where I know a little from),

 but god knows where it has gone, I believe it was on the noew defunked
 blindcooltech.



 All the best,

2015-06-11 Thread dark
The spoonbill games do tend to be very well designed and put together, even 
their simpler ones like mastermind with lots of random features etc.


I haven't particularly got into their chess challenge game sinse I don't 
find I can play chess looking at a board square by square but would want the 
hole board in front of me, but I am rather fond of their whist and cribbage 
games. Their hearts is good too though I can usually wipe the floor with the 
computer on that one :D.


Beware the grue!

its too bad the windows chess can't have an NVDA addon to make it more

keyboard
commands to use to play it. the windows7 chess titans game that is. I 
can

arrow over the board no problem. it reads the board and pieces and if

Shredder Chess for the iPhone is very accessible.  I use it extensively. 
The only thing that I find that you cannot do using Voice-Over is to set up 
and play from a position.


As for the Arkangles software, the Elite is the one that I would prefer.  It 
is better than the Advanced.


Speaking of chess, for those interested, there are two chess events at a 
voice chat site, and signing up is free and pain less.  Check out


www.Out-Of-Sight.net
