[Audiogames-reflector] Garry's mod will most likely become accessible
Garry's mod will most likely become accessible Hi all,Im writing to let you know that Robjoy is working on a set of accessibility scripts for Garrys mod. Its too early to give you any concrete details, but were 99% sure we can get this to work, and work well. We know that we can executes crypts, and that there will be speech output through the clipboard.So, what is Garrys mod? Its a Sandbox that runs under Valves source engine, so its very open-ended. Normally, there are no goals, but people did make game modes so you can have them. In the normal settings, youre dropped on a map and can literarily do anything. Pick up weapons, walk around, and spawn various things like NPCs to kill, vehicles to drive, etc. You can also combine objects together. Since the game runs under the source engine, you can use any resources from Valve games, like portal, half life 2 or team fortress. Its been around for at least 8 years, and because its desi gned to build things, it has very extensive scripting support which is what makes the accessibility scripts possible. Also people created lots of various objects, so if you ever wanted to pit a star wars ty fighter against a ship from star trek, you could. And, of course, theres multiplayer support so you can mess around with your friends.The game normally costs 8 euros on Steam, but for another 3 hours as of this post, you can get it for 2, (75% off). We may eventually ask for testers, so you never know. ;-)Oh yeah, and if you want to help and have experience with either lua coding or the source engine and would like to help, feel free to reply to this topic and say so.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=165993#p165993 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] a new mainstream release, LocoCycle for steam and xbox consoles
Re: a new mainstream release, LocoCycle for steam and xbox consoles I baught this thing last night, sounded pretty cool, and I got through the tutorial pretty quickly. Some of it takes a quick mind to understand, like when you first are meleeing the guys I wasnt sure what to do but I eventually figured out that you had to melee all the way through. I really like the cut scenes. I can understand a little bit of spanish and pablo makes me laugh with the shit he says lol. Anyway, I wouldnt recommend buying this game unless you have 10 dollars to spair and dont have anything else you want to try out. The NVDA OCR works off and on, it does the pause menu pretty well but thats about it, but I didnt try the main menu. you can just press x all the way through and what not to get through to the beginning of the game.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=165994#p165994 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Locked Out of My House
Re: Locked Out of My House I agree with you.I have 7 and am trying to get it for the new custom built system I will be getting for my dad.I have no interest in 8.Xp is still dieing but guess what I still have an xp system and I will probably continue using it since about 90% of all work is not important.I dont mind uac in 7, at 33% it handles itself the way I want it.With 8 and up I am not sure.I have a tablet with android or at least my brother has.and a friend has both a win8 laptop and a win8 smart phone and likes both which is where ms seems to be making moves.In terms of what ms releases they are always trying something new, so you get a good system and then a basically public beta system.I really think though there needs to be seperate systems for high end enterprises that need the security, and the home user.I like the xp interface.I also like the win7 interface.I actually like the linux security interfaces myself.I d ont mind uac if you have to just modify a system file, but 4 times during install?Its a bit overkill.8.2 and 9 should be better oses though there is an attempt by ms to seperate the systems.There will at least with 9 be 3 distinct systems.A home system with the old menus and such.A business high end system with purely metro interfaces.And a hybrid system for those on tablets and smartphones and others that just want this.I think win8 is almost like another vista, unpollished I have heard better reports on it from those that have used it and have either a win8, ipod or android device or several of each.Like you though I will stay with 7 for as long as I can.I still have xp, heck if windows gets worse I may just have xp or 7 for normal use or something and go linux it really is a shame because xp and 7 are my favorite oses.Though Aparently uac is not to bad if you load all your stuff in your home directory, a thing I ha ve lazilly not done.Maybe next time I reformat I may practice and see, if it works then maybe its the way I will handle it.god knows its probably more secure and all programs will basically be locked to my account.I am just to lazy to do it though I have been to used to loading in xp.Thats a thing Id like ms to do, have all programs loaded to your home folder, in linux its like that the only time you ever need to access root is if you need to modify the system which happens less often than you think.If windows had the ability to run from command line root accounts and bypass uac then Id do that or even have the system in android where you get the program and it tells you what it will access and you need to choose as well as the security system.I am unsure about tablets it all depends on where you go.I have no plans to go tablet I like my hybrid laptop.My dad is having a hard time to upgrade from xp because xp is all h e has ever needed and his software requirements have not gone up.To be honest I think there should be a basic home system which looks like and behaves like xp, you wouldnt get all security of the pro system but still.I like pro syadditions mainly because of the extra tech stuff but I dont probably need it.What I dont understand is why someone has not done a semi windows like interface that looks almost like windows but not quite over a linux kernal and the user any windows user can use it but not know its linux.they could use windows as well as linux programs, etc.So my dad could use his system and then I can come along and run other things.it would probably cost some though.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=165999#p165999 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

[Audiogames-reflector] Another Reason Not To Trust Valve
Another Reason Not To Trust Valve For those of you who arent put off by Valves lack of interest in accessibility, here is yet another good reason not to trust them:Valve is looking at your browsing history right now, if a recent report is to be believed. It seems that the companys Valve Anti Cheat system (VAC) reportedly looks at all the domains you have visited, and if it finds that youve frequented hack sites, who knows what actions it will take.Every time you visit a website, your PC stores a record in a Domain Name System (DNS) database. This is similar to your browsers cache, but keeps details across everything you use to access the internet - browsers, your email client, messenger programs, Twitter client, even that weather gadget that lives on your desktop.The thing is, the DNS cache stores details of every site your computer has touched, whether or not youve actively visited it. If an article you are reading links to a blacklisted site, your DNS will record the address of that site, as well as the article. More subtly - if a page you are reading is using a graphic hosted on a blacklisted site, then that blacklisted site will again show up in your DNS. Even if youve never actively visited a cheat website, there may be traces of them in your DNS, and thats what VAC is reportedly now looking for.So, in short, Valve knows every single website you ever visit, and keeps that information, to do who knows what with it. More info at:http://www.playerattack.com/news/2014/0 … s-history/Im not a huge paranoid privacy advocate; I really dont have problems with Google, Facebook, or similar companies. But doesnt installing what amounts to spyware on your computer kind of cross a line? I get that valve needs to use some kind of DRM to protect themselves. But I dont see that as a good enough excuse to monitor every single website you visit.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166008#p166008 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Another Reason Not To Trust Valve
Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve Game companies are not infalible. Just because they make what some consider to be cool games does not mean theyre a cool company. If they are indeed looking through your DNS cache to see if you tweet, that is a little crazy and thats a lot of information to sort through. Ive never really been interested in the company one way or the other, but if any company comes away with spy reports it puts me off as well. Yes there may be articles countering it, but part of the internet is that people argue. The fact is, noone really knows what information is being collected unless they can see parts of the code or pay close attention to a good firewall. Even then you dont always know what information the program is sending, it could just be that its checking for updates or online servers. Im sure theres other ways to see whats going on, but I dont know of them. Im also aware that people are paranoid and some people like to make false accusations. But Ive also seen way, way too many cases of personal information being stored or freedom being limited, both by companies and single-person programs. Ive seen virus scanners that will assume you dont want something and delete it for you whether its harmful or not. Ive seen twitter clients and URL shorteners that log information and send it to the programmer, possibly even messenger clients. Its a crazy world out there. And Ill say it again, just because they make cool games doesnt make them an ethical company in any way.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166015#p166015 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Another Reason Not To Trust Valve
Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve Game companies are not infalible. Just because they make what some consider to be cool games does not mean theyre a cool company. If they are indeed looking through your DNS cache to see if you tweet, that is a little crazy and thats a lot of information to sort through. Ive never really been interested in the company one way or the other, but if any company comes away with spy reports it puts me off as well. Yes there may be articles countering it, but part of the internet is that people argue. The fact is, noone really knows what information is being collected unless they can see parts of the code or pay close attention to a good firewall. Even then you dont always know what information the program is sending, it could just be that its checking for updates or online servers. Im sure theres other ways to see whats going on, but I dont know of them. Im also aware that people are paranoid and some people like to make false accusations. But Ive also seen way, way too many cases of personal information being stored or freedom being limited, both by companies and single-person programs. Ive seen virus scanners that will assume you dont want something and delete it for you whether its harmful or not. Ive seen twitter clients and URL shorteners that log information and send it to the programmer, possibly even messenger clients. Its a crazy world out there. And Ill say it again, just because they make cool games doesnt make them an ethical company in any way.Also Arq, that was an amusing article.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166015#p166015 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve @arqmeister: that article doesnt actually counter anything.

Pinky swear! He also tries to distract people by saying that the information is hashed via md5. However, that doesnt protect your privacy in any way. According to::http://nayuki.eigenstate.org/page/fast- … 6-assemblyA regular Linux computer can hash values at about 2427 mb/s. There are approximately 148,935,385 domains currently registered, according to:http://www.whois.sc/internet-statistics/The maximum length of a domain is 253 characters, according to:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/arc … 92868.aspxThat means that in order to md5 hash every domain registered, Valve would need to hash 37680652405 characters. That would be a file of 35936 mb in size. So, with 1 regular Linux computer, valve could do that in 15 seconds! So the fact that the domains are encoded with md5 doesnt protect you. At all.

Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve To be fair, the article did say the system isnt active anymore, it was a two week test. And if they had warned people they were going to use it, it would have given the cheaters a chance to fortify. Having said all that, I still think its crap. In the end its a game, not a way of life. There shouldnt be any need, whatever they do with the personal information, to monitor your DNS cache and store everything away on a server on the off chance they can find cheaters. I dont really think anyone needs that information, not even my ISP. Which is why data encryption is a great thing. Its not even necessarily that I have anything to hide, its not like I watch pygmy spam or anything. Well, ok, only on Wednesdays.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Another Reason Not To Trust Valve
Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve @bladestorm360: The problem with believing that it was only a test is that the people who detected the code doing this havent confirmed it. I suspect that Valve got caught, so the next steam update will remove this function. But as of right now, everything I have heard fails to support Valves statement that this is no longer going on. Though I will admit to not looking particularly hard, as I dont have steam installed, so its no skin off my nose.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Another Reason Not To Trust Valve
Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve Im not wanting to get to deep in this because, to be blunt, i dont care what people see and what they dont. Im a very open minded person who could give a crap if the government knows my spam watching habets. While that may sound extreme, my point is, what are you going to do? You might as well crawl in a corner and stay off the internet, for all the good a false sense of security will do for you. If people like valve or the NSA want to know what your doing online, your meager incryption programs will not stop them from obtaining the information they seek. I think the idea of internet privacy, while being a nice moral pat on your own back, is a joke. What started as a military program has grown in to a giant network of billions of people communicating information every day. I bet you that there are plenty of people who cause way much more harm on the internet than i could do in 10 years, so, im not going to waste my time being concerned with such thing s. Of course, its all up to the individual. While im at it, i might as well not trust banks, because they have my money, plain and simple.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Another Reason Not To Trust Valve
Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve @arqmeister: I think trusting my bank with my personal information is rather different than trusting a gaming company with my personal information. What my bank is allowed to do with that information is, at least in Canada, tightly regulated. Banks also have strong security requirements regarding information retention and security that they must follow. Game companies do not. At least in the case of Facebook and Google, we know exactly what they are doing with our information, and we get things in return (relevant advertising, spam filtering, friend suggestions, etc). But we dont get anything in return from companies like Valve, and unlike your bank, Facebook, or Google, game companies like Valve and EA dont tell you they are keeping this information, dont let you opt out, and you wouldnt reasonably expect that they are accessing these things. And to be blunt, I trust the government more than I trust a company. In theory, the governm ent is out for the good of society, while a corporation is only out for money. So even the NSAs programs dont bother me nearly as much as when a commercial company is caught steeling information. At least you could argue that the NSA is trying to protect people. All a company wants to do is make money off people.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166023#p166023 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

With your policy arq, if the internet is really that easy to break, you might as well just go shout your credit card number from your front yard because hey, who cares anyway?I do think data collection is a valid concern, but I guess what it really boils down to in the end is exactly the way you stated it. Its all up to the individual. There are ways to protect yourself, there are false ways to protect yourself, and then there are the people that just dont give a damn and want to get on with their lives.Edit: Hmm. Should have researched this before, but it turns out this doesnt store most personal information, just Ip addresses of sites you visit or places you connect to. So yeah, privacy arguements aside, as I said, I guess I dont really care. Sure you can be targetted by more ads, but eh.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Another Reason Not To Trust Valve
Re: Another Reason Not To Trust Valve I wouldnt say we know exactly, what facebook and google are doing with our personal information, but we at least know more than what valve is doing with our DNS cache information. They could sell it to marketers for ad campaigns if they wanted.Arq, there are ways to protect yourself. The government is working on encryption breaking, but it will never be perfect. They could probably get your personal information within a month if you were being spacifically targetted, but otherwise its highly unlikely just by the way encryption works. I dont necessarily agree that the government is strictly out for the protection of society, thats what they were initially put in place for but now theyre more like a corporation. But either way, valve wasnt collecting half as much information as the government has, all they have is our DNS cache, well, as far as we know anyway. All that is is a list of IP addresses of sites we visit, not password s, not any other kind of personal info that i know of. There are much worse things they could have obtained, but in the end its still a private matter and most people dont want their privacy infringed upon. Accepting that the big corporations can get whatever they want so you should just give it to them I suppose is a matter of opinion, but it certainly isnt one Ill ever subscribe to.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166027#p166027 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] recommended mud codebases?
Re: recommended mud codebases? Okay, so what youre asking for is interesting. Options:- Coffeemud. Java. The code is ugly, and the server is a memory hog. You will need a more expensive host to run it, and its going to require a database. It provides everything you could ever want, which is nice, except that it is then hard to actually add something new or make it feel unique.- A python base. Evenia is one of these, and there are a couple others. Problem: as far as I know, you need to build from scratch on most or all of them.- Moo. Moo is an interesting case, in that you can make a mud for it, but the programming environment is archaic for those used to something modern. Also, the actual number of mud databases is small, so youre going to have to write a lot to start differentiating yourself. Wayfar 1444 is an example of this.- Mush or mux. Dont. They are great at being social games, but not great at all at being Muds. Very, very, incredibly hackable by players unless you know what youre doing. Awkward to program in. I would preffer C/C++ over them. Muff is an interesitng concept, but manages to be almost as low level as C, and has all the elegance and design potential of Forth (i.e. a lot, but only if youre an uber programmer who knows how to make an object system and is very, very organized).- There are a couple projects in _javascript_. I know nothing about these.- Lpc. Works. About as hard as basic C++, and many features are undocumented or poorly documented. To make a new mud with it, the ability to learn from the code of others instead is essential. Dead souls exists, but is also a memory hog, and has not to my knowledge been used in a commercial mud. Do not touch Disklib-the most recent has bugs, and using it again needs more knowledge.besides this, most of the non-C bases ar e private. Clok has one, but might be based on something else. There is another recent mud that went down the route of coding the core in C++, but building up to Lua for most things (cant remember the name).Unfortunately, C/C++ is kind of a necessity for this kind of thing. You can only do so much to avoid it. You can do so, but you start giving up features-in terms of off-the-ground speed, Diku or variants still win (compile, run, and youve got complete classes and areas all done for you). In terms of bad C code, Diku also wins. C++ never really got off the ground in the mudding community, and most of the attempts end up being even worse C++ than they were when they were C (because people try to convert C codebases). If you want something more social, Moo is an option; if you want players to be the coders, Moo also. If you know python, Evennia looks to give you lots and lots of stuff for free-database persistance, e tc-while leaving you the ability to make a game fitting your vision.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166037#p166037 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Metro was meant for your less tech minded cousins and brothers and sisters and parents and grandparents who still cant quite wrap their heads around the concept of computing.To them, exploring is not much of an option. Considering exploration of their operating system is not an option, because they feel awkward around computers, maybe even terrified of them altogether. when MS noticed however th at they would willingly embrace a smartphone, they knew they had to do something about it. They expected everyone else who had grown used to exploring would simply stick to what they had always done and proceed with the desktop as it was, since thats where most interaction took place. They never counted on the users of windows to throw a massive tantrum on the aspect of not being able to land on their magical desktops by default, simply hoping I suppose, that users would navigate without much of an issue, since pressing the windows logo key is not exactly a hard thing to do, or to navigate to that little tile in the metro interface that gives you back your all familiar desktop youve grown to work with over the years, with the exception being the start button.Those who are still on XP for the most part and have failed to switch over to 7 are probably the ones who suffer the most, because with my use of windows 7 I developed a few interesting habits that proved useful when transitioning to windows 8 which made practically every aspect of the operating system seem like something that was truly familiar to me. Without skipping a beat, I had already customized every aspect of my PC to fit every single one of my needs, with permissions or lack there of really being my only annoyance. Win 7 gave me an edit box to search for and launch things quickly and efficiently, gave me new shortcut keys I found useful such as control shift N to create new folders on the fly, made me understand that dealing with the start menu was the least important aspect of windows that ever existed, and this with toher things I wont mention for the sake of keeping this post short made the move easy enough for me personally.I still use win 7, because the machine that it came on was given to me for my birthday, and Ive tweeked it to hell and back; it would almost be an insult to all of the months I put into it. Many of my progr ams are still on my windows 7 machine, and Im lazy, so there!

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Locked Out of My House
Re: Locked Out of My House Yep, my windows 7 experience helped to make windows 8 have practically no learning curve. I do appreciate the boot times, and general snappyness of the operating system. I heard a rumor that a future windows release will lower hardware requirements, which means windows could run on some pretty low powered stuff. I guess we will see. I think from here on out, power users will just have to grit there teeth and deal with what microsofts vission ends up being.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166060#p166060 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] I'm considering Android, what do you guys think?
Re: I'm considering Android, what do you guys think? you have to install the APK with a file manager like ESFile explorer or astro file manager.otherwise it just sits on your phone like an exicutable does on your computer with out running it.if you could share the APK, id be interested in it as well.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166061#p166061 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Guide for playing japanese audiogames
Re: Guide for playing japanese audiogames I have done a good bit of messing with these games, thanks again Bladestorm for the guide! I actually did something kind of interesting. I used Clipboard to SAPI, made it read through NVDA and actually used that along with Instant Translate to set laser Breakout to English. I have the miss-fortune of getting the AdOn that says Translating every time the translate keystroke is pressed. Could someone perhaps post an older version of the AdOn that doesnt do that?Also, I had a hard time finding Bokurano Daiboukenn on the translated NyanChan site, so I took the link that was posted in the walkthrough and translated it in safe mode. Here it is.http://translate.google.com/translate?a … fts/nn.htmI thought maybe you could post it into the guide to make finding this game easier. The other ones like World of War and all that were easy to find but not this one.That brings me to my next point. I was able to Download Laser Breakout and Bokurano Daiboukenn using the translated version of the link posted in the guide. I didnt have to copy the link or anything. Just hit enter on the translated download link and IE just asked me whether I wanted to save or open it.Anyway, time to go play BK since its done downloading!URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166063#p166063 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] recommended mud codebases?
Re: recommended mud codebases? This is my opinion. I want to be clear on that. Lets not go off and debate this again.It is fine, so long as youre not going to go and add a ton of stuff everywhere in the actual code-scripting works, building works, and for most things you can get by. The problem is that things are decentralized in a very haphazard fashion, and I did find quite a bunch of really strange conditions and stuff buried in there. I am not the only one to think its spaghetti code, and I thought it was me until other Coffeemud people started expressing the same sentiments when I asked for help. The biggest problem I have with it is the sheer amount of code spread out all over the place, though this is perhaps a Java flaw (and Java itself has many, not least among them deciding that it is your project manager and designer in some ways). It may also have been my skillset the last time I tried to seriously hack Coffeemud, as its been a while. The biggest thing I can recall is 5 or more line long conditionals for if statements in a lot of places, and note the number of imports is into the double digits in a lot of places. Some of my dislike comes from the fact that it is Java, as well; Java is just about the most minimalistic programming language I can think of, beating many variants of Basic (I am not including libraries in that statement). Some of it comes from the fact that Coffeemud is quite large.but that doesnt matter. Thats not the nail in the coffin for Coffeemmud, at least for me. A good programmer can probably manage to understand it, whether or not it has ugly code. You can add whatever you want, sure. I am pretty sure that you were working on procedural generation at one point. The problem is-players arent going to notice most things you add to a Coffeemud. Coffeemud provides a game, not a codebase. Everything is done, for bet ter or worse. I have played a Coffeemud. By extension, I have played all of them. This is even more so than Diku which at least leaves room for imagination with crafting, and maybe some sort of unique spell component system. Coffeemud, assuming youve got a good server for it and get a database going, will give you a game by tomorrow. It will be like all the other games, and in order to make it not like all the games youd need to go delete things youd just end up reimplementing. Coffeemud is the configure-a-mud system, but the players already know all the options you didnt turn on (and Ive not seen a Coffeemud that turns them off anyway). perhaps someone can provide a counter-example. The more your codebase gives you, the further you have to go to actually be differentiated and remembered, and Coffeemud goes very, very far for you. Coffeemud is the instant coffee of muds.Also, I dont remem ber ever seeing a lag-free Coffeemud, so theres that, too. I went through a Coffeemud phase, and hit four or five of them. You need to be able to set up the database (not a big deal, probably), and there is a compile step if you change the server (also not a big deal, I suppose). You cannot run it on an average VPS, and will probably need something in the $20-$30 per month range to get it working decently.These days, Id look towards Python, Ruby, or Groovy. Imho, any language that has softer typechecking is good for a mud. I like the ability to be something without being it explicitly, I kind of like multiple inheritance (in very, very, very specific situations only these days), and I like the ability to do magic-properties that arent always in RAM, properties that look like theyre here but are actually backed by the key value store over there, lists that lazily evaluate as needed without you having to know, the list goes on (note:use all of that with care). Also, closures/anonymous functions is good for muds, as is the ability to dynamically add code at runtime (Scripting language? Whats that? O, that old archaic thing. Our server is breaking? I can just jump into the special super-magic wizard debugger at any time...). I know why java became popular-anyone with any slight amount of programming talent can learn it-but my productivity is greatly increased by languages that, for example, provide a simple built-in hashtable and make all array-like things behave the same as the built-in array. Java is the language of docs, and also the language of must-have-internet because good luck programming without them.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=166064#p166064 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
