Re: Echo Quadrant
@freeman69: you can solve the announcements by implementing a buffer that stores the messages. By pressing a keystroke (some games use page up and page down), the users can cycle through the buffer one message at a time, with the output from tolk saying the message. Just remember to have a key that can jump to the top or bottom of the buffer, such as control plus pageup or control plus pagedown. The bottom of the buffer should contain the most recent message.
So here's an example from another game.
In a game called Crazy Party you can do online card batles. These get quite intense and sometimes you have to look at what's going on.
In a turn, it might say:
jukesy1992 uses bulk up.
The level of physical move from jukesy1992 increases to 1.
It's pitermach's turn.
Then I have to go do something but I leave the game running and let peter take his turn.
He uses slap, causing five damage.
When I get back, I press control +
page down to check the most recent message.
It's your turn.
I press page up.
5 damage.
I press page up again.
Pitermach uses slap.
I press page up again.
It's pitermach's turn.
So I'm moving in reverse order until I get back to where I las was. THen when I'm ready, I press control plus page down. It's your turn.
