Re: [Audyssey] wonder if any games can be played on braille plus somewhat easily?

2008-08-02 Thread Valiant8086
Hmm.
One issue is the OS is installed on a 256mb flash drive. It would only be 
possible to do these things and really do them if it were possible to 
install pygame and all that on the hard drive since we'd run out of space, 
hmm. Interesting.

 Hi Aaron,
 Well, I do know the Braille Plus does support Python based applications,
 no problem, but I don't know if it has SDL and PyGame installed. If so
 then You might have a possibility of running SoundRTS. I know the latest
 betas of SoundRTS run fine on Ubuntu Linux 8.04, but we are talking a
 fully working Linux distribution for a desktop, and not a chopped down
 version of Linux for a mobile device.
 I would really need more specs on the Braile Plus before I can really
 say how possible making games is or isn't for the Braille Plus. I'm not
 very familiar with the device in general.

 there might have to be some keystroke changes, who knows.

 I wonder if louis has any luck finding a language with which to write 
 some. A mud client would be totally fun.

Hi.
Well, the user enterface that users use, the menus and stuff, I believe that 
stuff is written in python. I know the calculator is, because it says to use 
python's math functions because that's what it's written in.

 Hi,
 I am not surprised. I sort of figured the Braille Plus was a very
 chopped down Linux OS. It honestly would be better to get a laptop with
 Linux installed instead. That way you have at least a decent list of
 packages and dependancies.

Re: [Audyssey] wonder if any games can be played on braille plus somewhat easily?

2008-08-01 Thread Andy
Hi.

Good point, but the thing is, Python has many libraries. Unfortunately, the 
braille plus and icon are 
not equipped with full, functioning versions of Linux. Well, it might have full 
Linux, I don't 
know.

To program with it, you need to use a tool called Developer, it's at
tech.aph.org/mm

Why this is is probably because the Python that is installed is missing a lot 
of sound libraries thus 
making sound rts not possible to play. A mud client, that'd be interesting, if 
it's possible. If I 
knew which libraries were installed, which I don't, I could  maybe learn Python.
