Oh please not another rewrite!
Myself, I'm quite happy with console windows, indeed I might suggest to
people that it is actually a useful skill to have, especially if you want to
play say interactive fiction, heck, I've even seen the skills I picked up i
navigating tables, understanding lists of information and quickly switching
to in put text be useful in playing comparatively modern web based games
such as puppet nightmares.
Not that I have anything against a windows interface, using sapi etc, but I
don't really see it as worth the rewrite if the thing is already done, ----
and to be perfectly honest seeing yet another! usa title go into rewrite at
community behest would be more than a little depressing for those like me
who just want to dam well see a completed and playable game!
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A Question About the Best user Interface
Hi Jacob,
Hmm....That could work, but I am not too keen in rewriting the user
interface from scratch to add WX support to the game. Seems to me if I
were going to do something like that I'd be better off updating the
game to use Pygame for the graphical user interface, for handling
keyboard events, sound mixing, and could use PyTTSX for Sapi output.
The impression I am getting from you and others is that I should
really abandon the text based user interface altogether and go with a
newer, more modern, graphical user interface with keyboard events and
so on. I can do it, but it would be quite a bit of work rewriting the
game which is why I have been reluctant to do it. However, if that is
really and truly what people want I'll consider it.
Cheers!

(?), would otherwise rather opt for something like a wx-based UI,

something like a list box, and then people could also use first letter
navigation to find a performer?
But, otherwise, some form of search functionality/offering, or maybe
something like page up/down?
Stay well
