That does make sense Charlese, but remember that Synaesthesia is a
nerological condition that effects about five percent of the
population, ---- some very extremely!
I have seen the case of a chap who was blind from birth, but was also colour
synaesthesic.
When he was wired to a brain scan and sounds were played to him, the same
neurons fired in his brain as would with someone seeing colour. He himself
didn't have any name for these experiences, ---- though he said it was clear
to him the way he heard things wasn't the same as the way others did.
just a random fact.
Beware the grue!

Subject: [Audyssey] ship colors - Re: aliens in the outback
To me, a color is merely a nondescriptive name. I was born blind. In
Aliens in the Outback, I prefer giving reference to the ship by the
initial level in which is was first introduced. A red ship means nothing
to me, but a level 2, 4, 1, or whatever gives it an identifyable label.
The ships I have problems with first come up in level 3.

Well there's no really standard way of naming levels, some games have
worlds, some waves, I've also seen mines, caves, dungeons, castles,
parts, zones, areas, sectors, blocks, boards, floors, days, and even
happy houses!
So, forgive me if I get terms scrambled.
As to ship colour, the problem is sinse I'm synaesthesic, all the ships
appear a totally different colour to me. The ships with the shields (red
I believe), sound deffinately light blue, and those ships that move
around are actually green and purple.
I can't really do anything about this, it's just the way my perception of
sound works, ---- though it is quite fun sinse in a sense it gives audio
games graphics for me ;D.
