Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1
Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1 Hey moaddye.What do you mean by it didn't even collect? Have you used a create object action to make the game object during runtime? If you are saying it doesnt event collect maybe that's the issue?Is any audio playing at all? Is it silent or just not playing positionally?Any details you can give will help. I'm sure its something simple we can fix URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/482116/#p482116 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1
Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1 Hi Francipvb.Well, games are limited to the GDE's capabilities but that's getting new features all the time.There are 9 buttons. So it's less that a keyboard. But buttons can be combined.At the moment their are only 16 audio channels but that is because it was built that way before people expressed the desire for 3D. So that limit needs increasing or removing altogether. Which will be done.Those are the ones I can think of at the top of my head.

Re: Sonus GDE thoughts
Re: Sonus GDE thoughts Those are good suggestions.A percent sign for the variables could work. When we run our project. The run window is empty with just a close button on. The original plan which hasn't been implemented yet is to pass the game data into that window so it can be monitored.This will include all global variables. Game Objects and loaded sounds list. However looking at your comments I think I would like to add an extra feature to the plan. A game log, which is empty. But we can use an action that is only in the GDE to write whatever we want to that log.Would this kind of feature meet your needs?As for coordinates. Yes Y is up and down. And in my experience is mostly the case. I have seen cases where Z is used for the up a down. I thinks its just a matter of preference URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/481383/#p481383 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Sonus GDE thoughts
Re: Sonus GDE thoughts Hi Amerikranian.I havent experienced that myself but the tutorials were written during an older version of the GDE. I will have to have a look myself at some point to see if I can replicate your issue.I think the reason the player x and y variables arnt updated when we collide with the wall is because it puts the player back to the position they were origianlly in. for example if we are at X 10 and move forward 1 to X 11 which we then get knocked back to X10. we dont need to updatete the variable again because we are already at X10.You'll have to excuse me, I wrote these quite a while ago.I also noticed you said "The playerx and playery variables are my local coordinates." does this mean the playerx and playery are local variables? becasue you are using the set global variable action.I can see the benefit to haveing TTS capable of speaking more than 1 variable. developers will have to make sure they done use variable names that will match words they want to use in TTS though. I'll add that to my list.I'n not sure why you are wanting to write global variables to a file? could you elaborate on that maybe?There is a feature on my list to allow Game Objects to be exported and imported into other projects if thats if thats the kind of thing you are getting at.I'm not sure whats hapening with the used event list, I havent heard any other complaints and I did orignally test it with NVDA. I'll have to take a look at that one, but of course I'll alter the design if needed. thanks for the feedback.And oops. thats little bug slipped through the net. I'll rectify the TTS channels being cleared on the next update then. Thanks for reporting that.EDIT: the issue with NVDA on the used event list has been confirmed by another user. I'll be sure to find the problem and include a fix in the next update. Sorry about that Amerikranian. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I very much appreciate it.

Re: Sonus GDE thoughts
Re: Sonus GDE thoughts Oh I see. The audio names are not returned when the audio finished event happens. I'm not sure where to return them to either if that was an update to be introduced. Perhaps each game object could have a Last Played property that stores the name of the last audio it played. But at the moment, no. You could of course set a local variable on the audio finished event perhaps. It depends what you want to achieve.As for keyboard input. I do intend to make your own controls mappable but I still need to ensure the PCP acts as a mimic of the sonus itself.Games will be on external storage yes. This is why games dont need to exit.As for commas. I have already taken steps to rectify this issue and future versions should allow more punctuation including commas and exclamation Mark's etc. Is was because of how the games were exported but I have now altered that. But special characters are still untested. I dont know all the issues it could cause if I remove the restriction yet. it needs investigating on the GDE PCP and on the sonus before I can release it.

Re: Sonus GDE thoughts
Re: Sonus GDE thoughts Oops. Let me answer those for you.The TTS does not have a finished event like the audio. They were intended to be fired and forgotten about. However I myself am finding situation where listening for the TTS finishing would be useful. I was considering adding a new function to the condition action to check the state of a TTS channel.I may be a bit of an idiot here. But I'm not sure what you mean about being able to see what audio has finished. Could you give me an example? What return data are we wanting?The TTs channel limit is 99. But of course all channels can be written over. You could make an entire game using only 1 channel. They load and speak pretty fast.To make TTS speak a variable value just put the variable name in as a parameter. It will search for a match in the local and global variables lists first before just speaking the text.You cant really make a game exit. You just close the PCP to do that. It's the same with the console. It loads the game on start up. And you just turn it off when you are done.Else statements were never high on the priority because you could just write the opposite conditon below. However, I could make the GDE do this in the back ground so no alteration to the console is needed.OR is also very useful so you arnt writing out many differnet if statements containing the same actions. However a way to combat this is the use of functions. So you can simply write many actions to a function and then reference that function instead. Which has been on the update list for some time now. So I may revisit the need for OR once function have been released. It is a basic programming feature and most likely will be in demand.And finally. You can change the variables of another game object. Any action can be applied to another game object. The top section of the action window let's you select who the action applied to. So if you use the set local variable action but apply it to another object then that objects variable will be altered instead. This is the 6th parameter if you are using GDE script. True means apply to the collision object. LoopGO means apply to the loop object. Or just put the objects name.Hope those answers help a bit.

Re: Sonus GDE thoughts
Re: Sonus GDE thoughts Hi Amerikanian.Those are a lot of questions. Thank you for that. You may have to prod me if i miss any. I'm using a phone at the moment and it requires a lot of scrolling up and down.To answer the first post. Simply put the conditions inside each other. This means both conditions need to be true. So we can check if the value is below 5 and above 0.If my memory serves me well. The reason we make the player hurt a separate object is to stop the player audio finished event firing on the player everytime we get hit. This is a method I use a lot when I just want a sound to play and not effect anything else.The actions can be input in 3 different ways. Selection form the list. GDE script, where all the actions are written in text or there are also hot keys. Which you can find in the help menu. Arrays are not yet included but are on the list for future updates. The reason that arnt considered essential is because you can just make game objects. For example i have an inventory list where each item is a game object that we can scroll through, using a cursor object that detects what it is colliding with. Of course arrays/lists are a great feature and they will be included.There is a tutorial for for loops.The number of sounds that can be played is also planned to be increased. The 16 limit was originally implemented before the project could handle 3D sound. And was all we needed back then.An action to alter the delay could be added. And actually has been considered. But you are right, the way to achieve this would be to have the periodical loop control and check a variable to count and activate after so many iterations.The maps can already be 3D. This is why there is an X Y and Z coordinate and also another action to play audio positionally.The boarder properties stretch either say from the coordinate of an object. For example.And object at X 6 and Y 10 with a border X of 12 and border Y of 9. Would stretch 12 places either side of X6 and 9 places either side of Y.So it would take up X-6 to X18 and from Y1 to Y19.Great questions and appreciated feedback. I hope this answers you question but please ask more if not.

Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1
Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1 Hi francepvb.Thanks for the compliment on the interface. I definitly agree that the more of .net can be optimised but unfortunately the main task of the GDE is to develop games for the Sonus Console. So these features wouldn't be used.The GDE and PCP simulate the consoles capabilities on the PC. Time is my greatest resource, and one that is sometime in short supply. So focus needs to be put into what is value added to the overall business goal. Although I would love to make as many features as I could to help people explore their creativity.Also yes Rory. Multiple instances can be made of an object. When we make an object in the GDE that is simply a template for new game objects to be made with during runtime.

Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1
Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1 Hi Moaddye.To make a sound 3D.Simply set one object as the listener using the set listener action on the object you want to be your listener (most likely the player). And use the play audio positional action on an other object. Then move that object around the listener.It's also important to make sure the audio files you use are mono. The 3d effect is created by altering each channel .stereo files dont allow this to happen.As for stopping audio. The stop audio action will stop the audio playing on that object. Each object should only be allowed to play one sound. So it can track that channel that is assigned to it and listen for when it finishes.

Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1
Re: Sonus GDE 2.3.1 Hi Omer. This is achievable with variable. Simply set a variable using the set rand variable action.The check that variable with a condition.For example.Set global variable rand to between 1 and 2.If rand equals 1. Play sound 1.If rand equals 1. Play sound 2.If you feel it is not random enough. Increase the range. So rand is between 1 and 100.And check if rand is below 50 or above or equals to 50.If you need further help let me know.

Sonus GDE 2.3.1
Sonus GDE 2.3.1 Hi guys. I just wanted to drop a quick message to let people know the next version of the GDE is available. It fixes a few bugs so I would suggest updating if you use the GDE. It also adds features to alter the maximum distance of objects sounds and also it adds the ability to alter the listeners orientation. So you can make the player turn around. Useful for FPS games.There arnt any tutorials yet. But I will be making some. The max distance action will set how far objects must be to be at their lowest volume.The direction actions (set, add and subtract) have 3 parameters. X Y and Z. imagine the centre of your head is at 0,0,0. You can set the direction by using these 3 coordinates to point in the direction the listener is facing.For example. X1 Y0 and Z0 would be pointed to the right. And X-1 Y0 Z0 would point the to left.

Re: Working on a Little Project Using the Sonus GDE Where actually is the panning code omer? In what event. You only need to set the listener and audio properties once really. Normally in a creation event.When you say it doesnt work do you mean it is silent? Or just playing straight into your ears?If silent. Check the object that plays the sound has it loop audio setting ticked. I assume it should be looping.If its playing into your ears with no positional sound.

Re: Working on a Little Project Using the Sonus GDE
Re: Working on a Little Project Using the Sonus GDE Hi Omar. Audio can play on a game objects positions if you use the play positional audio action.So moving the object past the listener (which you set with the set listener action. Any object this action is used on becomes the games ears) will make the audio sound like its moving past you.Something worth noting is that it does this by altering the left and right channel. So the audio file needs to be mono. Stereo files will just play via both channels so the positional audio action cant take effect.I hope this helps.

Re: Working on a Little Project Using the Sonus GDE
Re: Working on a Little Project Using the Sonus GDE Hey Dan. I would probably have to see the code to diagnose the issue with this.There is a feature in the GDE for people who would rather write out the actions (more like an actual programming langauge) rather than select them. It's called GDE script. There is a button for it. This will show the event you are currently in as written text.You could copy that text and post it here for me to see if you would like.Possibly with a description of how it works.

Re: Working on a Little Project Using the Sonus GDE
Re: Working on a Little Project Using the Sonus GDE Hi guys. This sounds cool. I wonder if I can help. What exactly do we mean by a sharp pan? You might find the sounds transitions more naturally if the sound is just one coordinate in front of the player rather than on the same Z axis.You can increase the BZ value slightly to make sure collisions still occurThere hasn't been a formal tutorial made for the audio controls yet. The reference distance is how far away from an object you are for it to be at full volume. So if you want objects from 10 square rather than 1. You set the reference distance to 10. The roll off factor then control how quickly the sound drops off. A factor of 1 would make the sound quickly shoot to maximum as soon as you enter the reference distance.It's all part of the openal audio library. Which minecraft uses so it should be capable of what we want it do. I hope this helps a bit.

Re: A question about the pcp and GDE
Re: A question about the pcp and GDE This is strange. I dont see how the PCP can be throwing an error to say the openal is not Installed and yet the GDE is fine.They are very close to being the same program.

Re: A question about the pcp and GDE
Re: A question about the pcp and GDE Hi Ty.The error is definilty ot do with the openal library. its unusual that the GDE would work and not the PCP as their programming is very similiar.the actual error is DllNotFoundException: openal32.dll. which in simple termins meand the Dynamic Link Library has not been found. Which would indicate that openal is not installed.Perhaps tis has been resolved and I've just been to slow to get to you to help. is this still an prolem you are having?

Re: A few GDE questions
Re: A few GDE questions Hi guys,The GDE is the Game Development Enviroment for the Sonus Game Console, however there is also the Sonus PCP (PC Player) that can also be used to play games. its all free to make or play games.Games are built for the Sonus PCP to play, so they are not compiledto executablesYou can find the software and information about it at www.sonusinteractive.co.uk as well as tutorials on how to make games with the GDE.hope this helps.

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development The game objects are templates. When you use the create object action, it creates an Instance of that template. If you have made a game object called "enemy". You can use the create object action 5 times to make 5 copies or that enemy.And if you have a creation event like the one I showed, you could use a global variable to change the spawn location of each. Such as setting the spawnX and SpawnZ to random values after each enemy is created, meaning the next am enemy will be in another random location.And if you want enemies to constantly take the place of dead enemies. You could create more enemies in the destruction event of the enemy object. So when one dies a new one is created.Does that make enough sense? Let me know if you need me to elaborate more URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/453077/#p453077 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development Yes Sky. We can make it do hose things.the TTS doesn't have an audio finished listener like played sounds do so the two options there are. 1 play TTS to say "you are at" and then add a wait Action of maybe a second. Then add a tts command to play the coordinate. Which you would have to store in a varisble somewhere. If you set the variable value to X Y or Z it will know you mean the objects coordinate values.Or you could play a little voice over clip to say "you are at" and then add the TTS to say the coordinate on the audio finished event.For random spawning.

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development Yes so what is happening is every tenth of a second the game is generating a new variable value and then playing another random sound. How I normally approach this issue is by have a local variable called "Playing". I then put everything in the hold event in a condition to check that playing equals false. When I play and sound a set Playing to true. And then in the audio finished event I set Playing back to false again. I hope that helps.Also P is the pause button URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/451700/#p451700 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: GDE Game Development Hi Charles, regarding the message you sent me. Can you paste your Held event code for me?

Re: enemies and items with the sonus GDE
Re: enemies and items with the sonus GDE Essentially the game starts with a big infinite map. As it's only comparing coordinates and they can be as big as you want. But to transfer from one area to another I normally create an object responsible for loading in all the next area objects and also have it use the clear all objects action to remove the previous "area" before loading all the new objects in.

Re: enemies and items with the sonus GDE
Re: enemies and items with the sonus GDE Hey sky.Its probably quite a long answer for that question if I was to explain all the needed code but I can give a quick explanation on how i have made enemies and items. If you would like to see a working example of items the witch hunt game gde project is downloadable from the sonus game library.Basically I had a variable for each item. Such as potions. And when the player object collided with a obtainable potion object, the potion object would play a little audio, increase the potion variable count and then destroy itself.As for enemies coming towards a player. I set 2 global variables to keep track of the players X and Z coordinates. Every time the player moves these variables get updated.Then in an enemy periodical event they check If they are higher or lower than the player coordinates and adjust their own by 1. Then you can adjust how fast you want the enemy to move by adjusting the delay property on the object.It's probably not a simple answer but I do plan on making a tutorial about It. Both of these will be included in the fighting game tutorial series.Hope this helped a bit.

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development Once the game is past the menu stage it doesn't need those objects anymore. So I get rid of them. Then if you die it goes back to the menu and they are re-created.It's for resource management. The more game objects that there are the more the software has to loop through.

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development So if I understand correctly Charles. You want to use the audio finished event to play the step again and move the player?So the player will move when the Audio finishes and then another step will play.And if you have a stop audio action on a release button event. That will stop it. As for object audio interrupting itself. Each game object is assigned a channel when it plays audio and the listens for that channel ending to fire the audio finished event. So its 1 channel per object.What I do is I create objects that are just for playing audio then dying. I would make an object called something like Swing Sound. Swing Sound would play the audio on its creation and then destroy itself on audio finished. And whenever I wanted to play the swing sound effect, rather than using a play audio action and would use a Create Swing Sound Object action.Hope that makes sense URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/450736/#p450736 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development Hi Charles. Yeah all this is possible. As a matter of fact I helped someone achieve this not long ago.The walking speed is just an audio file playing. So you would need to change the speed of the audio file. Just increase or decrease the tempo in something like audacity.The random footsteps can be done by setting a variable to a random value and then playing a walk sound depending on the variables value. Then setting the variable to a new random value on an audio finished event. This could do it.

Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE.
Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE. Hey Charles. Yeah I get the desire for more buttons. But the PCP is the PC version of the game console. And mimics the amount of buttons available, which is limited like any other console. How many people overcome this is by combining buttons. Such as holding bottom 5 enter let's say a stat mode. Then button 1 while holding 5 would say you health. And button 2 while also holding 5 could say your stamina etc.I hope this limitation isn't a huge problem. I'm sure mechanics can be implemented to still achieve the games you want to make. And i would be happy to help you achieve them.

Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE.
Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE. Ok I'm just going to focus on the generator noise at the moment.The periodical event when playing the muffled or normal generator audio isn't checking it the generator is on.

Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE. Ok you must be sending the generator object a play command. Maybe on the collision with the house?

Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE. Also at various places in your project you havent got the same amount of condition end actions as you have condition begins. This can cause all sorted of problems. Make sure you close you conditions. or it messes the skip counter up that tells it how many actions to ignore.

Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE.
Re: Trying to create a door I can open and close with the GDE. Its the game development enviroment for the Sonus, Charles.On the door object, something like this in the button held events will stop the player object from going through themif "L" "State" "==" "C" "Closed"if "Col" "Player" "==" "L" ""subz "1"endifendifLine 1 checks the door has a local varaible set to Closed.Line 2 checks it is colliding with the player objectif both of these conditions are met, line 3 knocks the player back by 1, this example is if the up button is being pressed so it knocks the Z co-ordiante down by one.Next on the doorknob object that changes the state of the door. The following code appliessetlv "StateHasChanged" "false"if "Col" "Player" "==" "L" ""if "L" "State" "==" "C" "Closed" "Door"setlv "State" "Open" "Door"setlv "StateHasChanged" "true"endifif "L" "State" "==" "C" "Open" "Door"if "L" "StateHasChanged" "!=" "C" "true"setlv "State" "Closed" "Door"endifendifendifLine 1 sets the "State Has Changed" variable to false, so false is the defult state everytime the event is run.Line 2 checks the door knob is colliding with the playerLine 3 CHecks the local variable "State" on the door is set to ClosedIf both of these are true. Line 4 then sets the door "State" variable to Open and then Line 5 sets the "State Has Changed" varaible to true. I use this variable to stop the next part of the code firing, as the next section checks that it is false.Line 6 closes the condition section checking if the if the door is closed.Line 7 then checks if the local variable called "State" is set to Open on the doorLine 8 then checks if the "State Has Changed" variable is not set to True (essentially checking if we have just changed the State to Open, if this wasnt here the door would set itself to open and then straight back to closed again.)7Line 9 then sets the Door State to ClosedLine 10, 11 and 12 then close the remaing open conditions including the Player collision condtion than all actions except line 1 are in.I havent tested the code but its pretty simple so hopefully it should work.

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development I've just made a few fixes to the GDE and PCP. such as cleaned up a few problems with the GDE script feature. for example the script wouldnt let you stop the audio on another object as typing a paramter after the command came up with an error due to the data validation. that and a few other little issus with the script are fixed.Other bug fixes are:Incuded a GDE script button for the new game object window as well.The periodical event fires with the creation event and then begins its cycle, fixed this. If you have a delay of 5 the first periodical event will now fire 5 seconds after creation and then every 5 seconds after that.Copying an object made a shallow copy of their local variables. meaning if you changed one you would change the other. corrected this.Made it so debug mode cannot be ran more than once, as shared resources from 2 threads crashes the system.Also a local variable name duplication error was occuring if it found a match in other game objects. this is also corrected. now it only checks for duplicates in its own list.I havent managed to replicate Hurstseth's issue yet. but once i do I'll put in a fix. until then be aware that some windows themes cause issues with the dialog boxes opening. I imagine this can happen in other programs as well.So thats a quick update, has anyone got their teeth into it yet? and feedback would be great, complaints or compliments. I'd love to hear either. thanks a lot guys.

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development Of course I understand the concern Kyle, but I do also think the project has come a long way with the limited man power I have had. Of course I would openly accept help and community involvement would be an exciting concept, unfortunatly the source code has sensative data in it relating to the actual console, meaning that making it open source could elimiante the possability of it ever being released.And if the GDE or PCP code changes, the same changes will need making to the console.If it wasnt for these issues, I would happenly let the community have their creative input. but I have implemented a lot of feedback already such as GDE script, 3D sound and a lot of small tweaks and features.

Re: GDE Game Development
Re: GDE Game Development Ok lets start from the top.16 channels is changeable of we need. I was under the impression 16 sounds being played at once would be about noisy but that was before 3d was added.The periodical (tick) can deal with float. 1 second is not the lowest value.Random numbers can be generated and stored in global or local variables. There are actions in the list for that. You can then check the variable with a condition to play a random sound.You just put a variable name and a min and max value in the action and the variable willbet set to a value between the 2. You can also add subtract etc.Variables dont just have to be numbers. They can be strings or floats.Sorry. Not sure what you mean about joining variable names and strings together.And as for the arithmetic. Complex formulas would be awkward. That can be improved.I'll add it to the list URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/448228/#p448228 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: GDE Game Development

And hot keys as mentioned earlier. Although in haven't given them much spotlight and still haven't got around to giving GDE script it's own tutorial.As for python I was thinking of simply adding a "Run python script" command. Which simply points to a python script you want to execute. Just to give the developer the full flexibility of a programming language if they felt they needed oneThe reason for the operators wording is spelling our what the operators did seemed to wording but at the same time using the exclamation symbol may have confused non programmers.

GDE Game Development
GDE Game Development I guys.Some of you may know about the Sonus GDE. An easy to use game making tools to create games from the sonus console and the sonus PCP (PC Player).So far a lot of people have given me good feedback on it but that feedback is mostly from people who have never programmed before. And although its great to know people can pick it up fairly easily and start creating I also want to try and get serious developers involved. So I was wondering if anyone has given it a go? And if so what are your general opinions and more importantly criticisms. Some feedback already has informed me they dont like drop down selections for making games. So I have included hot keys and something called GDE script. Which allows you to write out actions rather than select them.Including python was also raised and I completely agree, although it seems it could be quite a task and I need to ensure it would be worth the effort.If you have tried developing with the GDE and would like to try it. This link will point you to the GDE and tutorials.http://www.sonusinteractive.co.uk/GDE.htmlThe PCP is also there which plays the built/exported games.Also there is an example project called Witch hunt in the game library which is herehttp://store.sonusinteractive.co.uk/Index.phpAs well as the built version which can be played on the PCP.So I'd love to hear what you think and if I can give you a tool that could make game development quicker and maybe increase the rate which games come out.

Sonus Game Console GDE - looking for developers
Sonus Game Console GDE - looking for developers Hi guys,My name is Aaron Parsons. I've been working on an audio only games console with its own game development enviroment called the G D E. The project so far has recieved brilliant feedback and the G D E was even released for testing, people used it and liked it. the idea is for even non programers to be able to create their own games for the hand held console. The prototype is nearly complete (although I did think this once before). and my focus now seems to be more towards creating some start up games for the Sonus to be released with. however i am finding that developing the sonus, continously making the G D E better and creating my own games is becoming a bit much for 1 person.Ideally I would like to focus on developing the G D E and making sure the game console itself has no issues.I was wondering if anyone would like to work with me and use the G D E to develop some games.I won't lie, the G D E still has some bugs and needs further tweaks to ensure it is more user friendly, but I'm hoping i would be able to get more time to focus on making those tweaks.There is an alpha version of the software avaialble for download on the www.sonusinteractive.co.uk website. My email is aar...@sonusinteractive.co.ukI think this project has serious potential, and I would hate to see it fail I because I did it wrong by trying to take on the whole task aloneI'm open to discussion and feedback. thanks for listening.

Re: Sonus GDE (Game Development Enviroment)
Re: Sonus GDE (Game Development Enviroment) I've updated the Sonus to run 16 channels of audio. The G D E is yet to be updated to accomidate the increase in TTS and Audio channels but I'll get around to it soon.At the moment there is no online capabilities in the Sonus, although if we are serious about including python scripts its something I should look into doing so we can import our own libraries.The idea of the sonus is to not have a visual display.Games will be stored on external media and so will the saved data.It is built to be a stand-alone device but you could maybe split the audio output and feed it as an audio input into a PC if you wish to record it.There is no native form of multiplayer and the entire algorithm for playing games would need to be changed to incorperate it. but if we include internet access then maybe our own custom python scripts can make this possible.No braile display either I'm affraid.And I will try to make as much documentation and help for people as I can. I will be able to focus more on this when the project is finalized.I've also made a twitter list because of your suggestions, I have no idea how ot use twitter but I will work it out lolI'm also thinking of scrapping the cartidge idea all together. My new idea to battle piracy is for the sonus to look for a code on the games usb stick that will only work with that particular console. This means games would all have to be downloaded or purchased from one location which could generate the codes, like a play store.People can make games and uplaod them to the play store, and select if they want them to be free or if they want to sell them. When downloaded we generate a code to be downloaded as well. This means each Sonus would need a serial number that would be entered whenever downloading a game to make sure they get the right code to make the game work. Or alternatively we will also have an automated phone system for non-int ernet users who can order games to be delivered on a usb stick with the code already on it.What are our thoughts on this idea, I believe it would be easier from my side and it puts all the library of games in one place for easy shopping. Its also an easier distribution system to publish your games rather than advertising and marketing them yourselves.please let me know what you think, thank you guys URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=329888#p329888 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Sonus GDE (Game Development Enviroment)
Re: Sonus GDE (Game Development Enviroment) I appreciate all the feedback. It will ultimatly make sure the G D E is developed to meet demand. So from what i can take away from this so far is that. We need more TTS channels which is understandable. To reason it is done this way is because when TTS is synthesized during the code running then the audio mixer conflict with it and eventually breaks it. So they are now rendered before hand so the mixer can play them and mix them with the other playing audio.More audio channels would be good. Although dont forget we can have a single audio file that includes many different noises and still only use one channel.And probably the most demanded feature is the ability to write our own scripts to fire in the project. In thinking a "run script" action to point to a python file.This would beed implementing in both GDE and the sonus code and will take time to test. But i believe it would make things more appealing to more experienced programmers.This feedback is great. Thank you very much. Im all ears if there is more.I apologise for the bugs that are present in the G D E. In currently testing the next tutorial and have found quite a few.

Re: To all interested in audio game development - My Proposal, My Question
Re: To all interested in audio game development - My Proposal, My Question The G D E still incorperates all the logic that a games needs to run, but without the need to learn a specific programming language. The developer will still develop the algorithms the game needs to follow.Its an Object based system. The Developer makes all the Game Object templates the game needs to run. All of which have various events. Such as if the object is currently colliding with another, or if the user is pressing a key, or if the object has been destroyed or if the Audio the current object is playing has ended. Each of these events can have actions assigned to them. These actions control the flow of the game. They are responsible for creating other Game Objects, Playing Sound, altering Variables. Running Condtions, Saving and Loading the game, the list goes on.

The sonus comes with its game development counterpart called the G.D.E (Game Development Enviroment) that is designed to make games with no porgramming language needed and eventually with plenty of tutorials and help for absolute beginners to bring their ideas to life.I am currently adding a debug mode to the G.D.E to allow developers to test their games without the need to export it and play it using the physical console.As for Haramir's very interesting point, ideally we would like players who are blind and visually capable to be able to play together and with games deisgned so one doesn't have any advantage over the other. The Sonus is a first small step. If it is successful it makes room for further development in later versions such as online multiplayer and the inclusion of some visual output to make the games more appealing to visual users.
