Re: java and audiogames?
Re: java and audiogames? Oracle did great mistake when they decided to get rid of 32-bit builds since Java9. There are still lots of people on 32-bit systems. That's also the reason why Java Access Bridge isn't working properly with NVDA in 32-bit JVMs.P.s., I'm using Java currently for Android development mostly at work, but I wanna switch to Kotlin really, mostly because of null-safety, data classes, function extensions and default function parameters. Java has none of these features, which makes even some simple tasks too much verbose to code in Java. Kotlin can now be even compiled as a native application with no need for any runtimes, but the bad thing is that there are not that many libraries for Kotlin-native, since Kotlin is still a pretty young language.

Re: C# vs Python
Re: C# vs Python There's official support for Python in Visual Studio, I think it was available since VS2015.However, you can't compile Python to .exe with Visual Studio, you need to do it manually with PyInstaller, Py2Exe or CX_Freeze.I'm currently learning C#, which is not a problem for me since I'm using Java at work, and these two are quite similar.Regarding speed, I don't know. I haven't used Cython, but comparing to normal Python speed, may be C# is a bit faster and the size of executable is smaller. Python freezing tools such as Py2Exe should also include all Python libraries along with the executable, and that's why Python app distributions will be somewhat larger comparing to C# application where only executable is distributed. Dotnet is now a part of every currently maintained Windows version since Windows Vista, and thus it doesn't need to be installed separately or shipped with the application, it only needs to be updated which is done via Windows Update or your app's installer.Regarding decorators and some other extra features, I'll just tell you one thing. I'm using Python since 2009, and I've learned decorators in 2016. The point is, you can't, and you don't need to learn every single language feature in a fiew weeks until the moment when you think that it can be useful in solving your coding problem.I will personally always love Python because of it's clear syntax, many libraries and easy to read code. I'm experimenting with other languages mostly because I want more experience as a developer, and I don't wanna limit myself to only one programming language, because if there's something that you don't learn from one language, you will probably learn it from another.

Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python
Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python Let me add something:I personally prefere to enclose strings in quotes, unless I have the following situation, for example, if I wanna have a message box that displays the user to click a button.

Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python
Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python You basically use triple quotes or triple ticks when you want to write multiline strings. This does not mean that string needs to be necessarily multiline, but writing single-line strings in tripple quotes makes no sense, although it's not an error.Of course, instead of using multiline strings, you can just use escape sequences such as \n or \r, but it makes things less readable for code writer. For example:"I'm a good boy.\nI'm the best guy in school.\nMy friends really like me."Compare with this:"""I'm a good boy.I'm the best guy in school.My friends really like me."""You see, the second version as multiline string is much more readable.

Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python
Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python Well, honestly. Python's indentation is may be the only thing that may frustrate beginner users. However, Python is a piece of heaven comparing to some other languages where you get frustrated with null pointer exceptions, data conversions, not to mention that it's quite easy to forget to enclose braces when you have lots of nested blocks. I'm using Java at work, and I've realised how I miss Python, although I'm still using it for writing NVDA addons and some other private stuff. Python is far from perfect, because nothing in this world is perfect, but Python is very popular and saves your time a lot, at least from my experience. For me it's more important to get things done as soon as possible, than spending weeks of work on something that I can get in a single day. Life is too short for that.

Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python
Re: Moving away from BGT and learning python Python is a good choice because it's syntax is even easier than BGT. Everything is an object and everything is dynamic, so it's not required to declare data types.When I've started learning Python, which was somewhere in late 2009., I found a book called "A byte of Python". That introduced me to the Python world. Later on if you wish to expand your Python knowledge, read the book called "Dive into Python".My suggestion is go with Python 3, it's the future. Python2 has unicode issues that I faced many times while developing software with Python, and you will sooner or later have to deal with these issues. Python3 is unicode by default, which is something to expect from a programming language nowadays, since almost nobody now is using Windows 9X or ME where ANSI was a standard.You can use wxPython for making GUIs. Sighted developers on the Internet constantly recommend PyQT saying that it's the best, and may be it really is, however it has accessibility issues. BTW, I don't like to use the term The Best too much, .For communicating with screen readers, you have two options, the one is called Tolk and another one is called Accessible Output. However, the repository where accessible output is hosted seams to be currently down, so Tolk is the only good option right now. I'm combining Tolk with Pyttsx3, which is another python library for SAPI support.For 3D audio, you can use libaudioverse. For making games you have Pygame or Pyglet as a choice.For networking, you can use Twisted.And, for converting your Python script into executable, you have Py2Exe, CXFreeze or PyInstaller. I like PyInstaller, because generating exe is simple as writing pyinstaller with additional commandline options. I was using Py2Exe before, but it wasn't updated since 2014.And, most of Python libraries can be easily installed, updated or removed by using pip on command line e.g., pip install wxpython, pip install libaudioverse, pip install pygame, pip install pyinstaller.

Re: Blog post: Why does BGT get bashed?
Re: Blog post: Why does BGT get bashed? The only problem with BGT is that it's no longer maintained. Networking support and dealing with Dynamic Link Libraries (dlls) requires attention and really needs to be improved. Oh yeah, and that problem where Windows Defender hates BGT and thinks that it's a virus, I almost forgot it. Regarding the toolkit and the language, you can write more than just a basic game in BGT for sure. Just look at Manamon, Perrilous Hearts or Survive the wild. Both games are written in BGT, and both games are popular here among users, despite the fact that they don't have 3d sound support.Regarding _javascript_, I'm currently studdying it.

Always check if pointer is null or not null before trying to recall it.5.

Re: getting nvda speak full sentinces in bgt
Hello,Here is a piece of code that I've wrote for myself when dealing with speech output to make it a little easier. In short, if screen reader is detected, it will be used automatically, otherwise the SAPI will be used. I've made 2 functions, one for regular speech and one for use with dynamic menus.For the general question, I got nothing to add, except that the best solution is to implement an if statement that will wait for the user to press Enter. This will make sure that the entire phrase is spoken, which is good for cutscenes or short messages. My sample cutscene code can be found in another topic.And now, here comes my speaker BGT code:tts_voice sapi;void say(string tekst, bool interrupt=false){bool screen_reader_found=false;for(int counter=1; counter<5; counter++){if(screen_reader_is_running(counter)){screen_reader_found=true;screen_reader_speak(counter, tekst);break;}}if(!screen_reader_found){sapi.speak(tekst);}}void say_menu(dynamic_menu@ menu){bool screen_reader_found=false;for(int counter=1; counter<5; counter++){if(screen_reader_is_running(counter)){screen_reader_found=true;menu.set_speech_mode(counter);break;}}if(!screen_reader_found){menu.set_speech_mode(0);}}

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code I see Kotlin as a future game development language. Although it currently works on JVM, it's native compiler is in works. But for writing games like RPGs or actions I think BGT just works well, I think STW, Redspot or Manamon is a best example of what you can do with BGT. I will probably switch to C++ once I get more free time to experiment with SDL2 or DirectX. I was trying to follow tutorial for SDL2 on C++, but I got lost quite easily because I was unsure what a certain function or variable does. C++ devs really love using very short variable names, so reading C++ code written by another person is quite difficult unless it's very well commented. I'm even not so much afraid of pointers like I am afraid of complexity and frustration when e.g. sound device is not properly initialized, audio buffers are not loaded properly, program keeps crashing, etc. BGT will at least save you from a bunch of frustration, because it initializes audio devices and input devices for you, giving you more time to think about game logic.

Re: how to make cutscenes in BGT?
Re: how to make cutscenes in BGT?
The cool thing about making games is that there are so many ways to make something, like cutscenes, maps, battels etc. The developer just has to choose it's best way. I was making a cutscene by writing a function that receives a String parameter for the text, and then waits for user to press Enter to continue. I also wrote a similar function that will play a sound either before or after the spoken text or a certain amount of time. But implementing arrays is also a good idea, to avoid repetitive function calls.Anyway, here's my cutscene code that I wrote for my never-finished game.bool cutscene_is_playing; // must be set to True when starting a cutscene and False when ending itsound sound_click, sound_finished, sound_effect; // sound handles for cutscene events// A function to play an Intro scene,// that will fade out when user presses Enter.// I'm using my custom music class here.void intro_play(string file){music.stream(file);music.play();while(music.playing==true){if(key_pressed(KEY_RETURN)){music_fade(@music, music.volume, -50, 1000, false);music.stop();}}}/*Plays the current line of a cutscene with a sound file.The wait parameter, if set to true, will wait the sound to finish, rather than playing it over spoken cutscene text.P.s., the say function is my custom function for speaking text via sapi or a screen reader.*/void cutscene_line(string text, string file="", bool wait_sound=false){if(cutscene_is_playing==false){cutscene_play_finished();return;}sound_effect.load("sounds/cutscene/"+file);if(wait_sound==true){sound_effect.play_wait();}else{sound_effect.play();}sound_click.load("sounds/cutscene/click.wav");sound_click.play();say(text);while(cutscene_is_playing==true){if(key_pressed(KEY_RETURN)){break;}if(key_pressed(KEY_ESCAPE)){cutscene_is_playing=false;break;}if((key_down(KEY_LMENU))&&(key_pressed(KEY_F4))){exit();}}}void cutscene_play_finished(){sound_finished.load("sounds/cutscene/end.wav");sound_finished.play();}

Re: Python: Let's discuss the pros and cons
Re: Python: Let's discuss the pros and cons Python is my favorite language, I love it and I'm using it around 5 years in addition to Java which I'm using at work and for developing Android apps. Python's Pros are definitely those mentioned in previous post, plus fast development because you don't have to wait the app to compile first before it can run, so the same advantage as with BGT. Python compiles into bytecode just instantly. Cons, at least for me, are those mentioned in previous post, plus that it's execution may run slower than C or C++. The reason why I'm unsure to write games in Python is because games written in Python at least from my experience run slower. Even BGT works faster than Python, because I'm feeling performance difference when playing e.g. Undead Assult which is written in Python and Manamon which is written in BGT. I was trying myself to code a sidescroller in Python, and as I added more moving objects on the field, the game ran slower and slower. I guess that mult ithreading may help in this, but on the other hand, having more than 30 objects in 30 different threads is also not a good idea, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: Which Programming Language Should I Pick?
Re: Which Programming Language Should I Pick? I think that Java could be a good option for developing cross-platform games. First of all, if you know BGT, switching to Java will be much easier because of similar syntax. Second, your game will run on any PC platform with no need to first implement support for that platform. Third, Java is very popular, especially in business world, so finding an answer for a certain problem is not that hard. Fourth, Java is easier than C++, since it makes many things for you (garbage collection is one of them so you don't need to allocate and deallocate memory yourself). The only thing required at least on Windows is installing Java Runtime, but this is what sighted people need to do as well, so I don't see the reason why we should be different, because installing JRE doesn't require sighted assistance. If you make a self-voicing game, you even don't need to enable access bridge. Eclipse IDE is accessible and makes development process faster. Also, if you're planning t o start making Android games, Java and recently Kotlin are your best options, since they are officialy supported for Android development.

Also learning BGT as someone who already has some coding experience was not a problem for me. In fact the bigger problem for me in BGT were it's advanced features such as handlers and function handlers, interfaces and similar stuff that is not available in Python.

Re: Is it worth it to develop games on BGT?
Re: Is it worth it to develop games on BGT? I am in fact thankfull to BGT, because my experience with it made me easier to switch to Java that I'm learning right now. Why Java? Because I got employed as a software developer in a company, and I wanna switch to Android development. Secondly, Java is very popular language for business those days. I am unsure can I recommend Java for making audiogames for the PC, but if you wanna make audiogames for Android or web-based games, then Java is your best way to go, because Android SDK uses Java. For PC game development, well in my opinion it depends on game complexity. Manamon is one of the best examples on what you can do with BGT, so if your game is of RPG type or a side-scroller than I think BGT is really enough for that. However, if you wanna build FPS with 3D support, then really switch to Python and use Libaudioverse with Pyglet or Pygame. C# is also good choice, since it's also popular in business environment, and good audiogame examples in C# are Entombed and 3D Ve locity.

Re: Some Python Questions
Re: Some Python Questions There's Python 2 to 3 convert script if you really need to feel the difference. However, once you get enough Python coding experience, you'll be able to transition to Python3 easily.Yep, the bad fact is that many libraries are still incompatible with Python3, and that's why many devs stick with 2. For example, NVDA is stil maintained in Python2, because wxPython Phoenix for Py3 is still under development, there's no Scons for Python3 (I believe), and they wanna keep XP compatibility for some time. I think Chicken Nugget and TWBlue are also written in 2 due to wxPython and some other that currently work better with Py2.

Re: python help.
Re: python help. Regarding LibAudioVerse and how hard or easy it is for beginners, you can't make game with 3D sound with no experience in programming at all. You really can't. There's no beginner friendly 3D library. OpenAl for Python as an alternative is even harder to use, as all functions are low-level type. As a beginner, you're best to go with 2D sound and Pygame. Don't use Pyglet, you'll get confused. Use Pygame as it's more beginner friendly, then after you get some experience you can try switching to Pyglet vs. Libaudioverse combination.And, regarding Python3, it certainly has some really nice features that I like, especially some implemented in 3.6, but compatibility with external libraries is still worse than with Python2. Therefore, it's quite normal that some devs don't wanna switch to or even recommend Python3.

Re: Programming language that accessable for the blind Well, I just wanna make a comment regarding talking about those differences between scripting and programming languages. Personally, I don't care if it's a scripting or programming language as long as I can get an .exe binary file out of it. So for me, scripting / programming is all the same thing, although it isn't. Especially, the end users will not see any difference if the file is in .exe format. Example: The game Manamon is written in BGT, but someone may easily think that it's written in programming language because it's really an .exe file, although it's written in scripting language.

Messing up something in code and having my or someone else's system failure as a result is something that really makes me afraid of these languages. I actually know the syntax, because I've learned C++ even before I've learned Python, but writing proper code logic is more important than just knowing a syntax. That's why I'm using Python, because it will let me experiment with stuff with no limits, and it won't harm my computer no matter what I do.

My experiment with packaging and encrypting sounds with Python
My experiment with packaging and encrypting sounds with Python Hello all,Well, in BGT we have the ability to pack and encrypt sounds for security reasons. Well, I wanted to get the same with Python, so for two days I was googleing and playing around with file encryption and decryption in Python with pycrypto. Basically, what I wanted to achieve is as follows:1. Put all wave files and other game data files inside a zip file.2. Encrypt the zip file so cheeters cannot modify game data, and also to prevent users from modifying sound files.3. When the game needs access to sounds and other secret data, decrypt the zip file with previously set encryption key, but data from decrypted zip must be extracted and accessed from within computer's ram, not from a hard drive, again to prevent users from accessing data inside a package.Fortunately, I was able to achieve all of that, and here's the result (coded in Python 2.7): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/407 … eriment.7zHowever, there's one issue that I'm aware of.Since I wanted to load wave files from memory directly without accessing hard drive, I had to use Python's wave module and python's io.BytesIO to get this working. But wave module returns wave data as waveform bytes (I think), while some other sound libraries such as LibAudioVerse require array with floats that represent sound data. Fortunately, I was able to get to my friend Google and find some kind of solution on stackoverflow, but this solution has one limitation. You cannot convert 24-bit or hire wave data, only 16-bit. So inside a zip file I have two wave files, splash.wav and telephone.wav. The splash.wav plays normally, however if you try to play the second one you will get an error. Some other Python audio modules such as PyMedia and probably PyAl don't require any conversion. For sound_lib AKA BASS I have no idea.For this code to work, you need Python27, Libaudioverse 0.9A7, and PyCrypto. LAV and I think PyCrypto are both available on pip.Anyway, at the link above is entire code that I was working on for two days, so please give any feedback regarding security, speed and loading packed sound data:Thanks!

I tried fixing this by using set_voice and get_voice, but the issue still persists. No errors thrown by Python, just silence.I'm totally sure that this issue is not present with Python2, because Undead Assult game is also using AO2 for it's output, as well as some apps such as Chicken Nugget and TWBlue. I will have a look at it's code to see if sapi5 output is actually using correct coding for Py3, because Py3 defaults to unicode for all strings, while Py2 doesn't.

Re: New Name Audio Sphere.Luna Stories 3d Audio Game Open Source c#
Re: New Name Audio Sphere.Luna Stories 3d Audio Game Open Source c# Hello,Moving away from xna was a good idea, because xna runtime doesn't come with Windows and needs to be installed separately, which may be frustrating for novice users. So I support that.I haven't posted any comments before on this topic, but I'm watching improvements on the engine and I support your work XSence. Sighted developers have numerous game engins available which can speed up game development dramatically, and thus blind developers shouldn't be left behind. Honestly, I have no experience with CSharp language, because I'm coding in Python for years, but I'm familiar somewhat with C-style languages (especially thanks to bgt) so I hope that moving to C# one day shouldn't be a big challenge for me.Anyway, will this game compile in VS2015? I've read that VS2013 is required but having two versions of Visual Studio on the same computer isn't an easy work to do, and I currently have 2015 installed.

Tone indication for walls on a 2d map, my working solution for BGT.
Tone indication for walls on a 2d map, my working solution for BGT. Hello,So, I'm working on a game which will probably be rpg or even life simulator with 2d navigation, and since I like the idea of wall tone indication in VGStorm games Paladin and Manamon and probably some other games from other devs that I haven't played yet, today I was experimenting with how to achieve this in BGT and I decided to share it with You. Although the code may look messy, at least it worked properly for me. I've put all required information and descriptions inside comments in a bgt file. Basically, you have to include this file in your bgt script and also change certain variables to fit with your game. Then you just have to call the only function in this file inside your game's main loop and you should get a magic. Of course, if you have a better idea for achieving this, feel free to share with me. I was trying to find a simpler solution, but since I haven't found it, I came with harder (I hope not too much hard).If you think that this feature may break patents, well, I apologize for this in advance.The bgt script posted here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/407 … _walls.bgtEnjoy.

Re: current landscape of audiogame creation tools
Re: current landscape of audiogame creation tools Python even doesn't have arrays, but in my opinion they are even not necessary since there are tuples and lists as well as dictionaries. I'm not sure about all the changes in Python 3. I'm still at Python 2.7, and I will stick to it until wxPython is ported to Python 3. For the same reason, software such as NVDA, TWBlue and Chicken Nugget are still built with Python 2.7.

Re: current landscape of audiogame creation tools
Re: current landscape of audiogame creation tools I was asking myself exactly the same questions as you do, and I knew that finding an answer will be hard, since everyone has different opinion. So I simply took a decision to try all mentioned languages above except dotnet. I'm coding in Python since 2009, and have the best experience with it, and I even purchased PureBasic. I've also tried to learn transitioning from Python to BGT. I've mentioned my findings in another thread on this forum.Since I'm a fan of simpler programming languages, I'm not a very big fan of BGT, but I agree that it has everything required for writing audio game. In Python, I've tried to write a game with Pyglet (not Pygame), in combination with Pysfml for sound part since Pyglet doesn't support ogg format out-of-the-box. I've chosen Pysfml since it doesn't limit game development to just non-comertial games. I find this to be the best combination for me as a Python developer, but Pyglet is definitely not fo r beginners. Pyglet was difficult even to me at the beginning until I realised how it works. PureBasic is probably one of the simplest programming languages that you can use for writing games, but it's not object oriented, which means that you have to spend more lines of code for e.g., programming enemies and their AI, while in Python you do have object oriented programming and you can use classes that can make development faster.I've also read some HSP (Hot Soup Processor) code, and that's the programming language used by japanese developers. BK3 and Shadow Rine are both written in this language. As far as I know, it's also not object oriented, but is quite simple and has very similar syntax to Basic family of languages. It's last version is unfortunately japanese only.Currently, I still haven't decided in which programming language my first game will be written, but I'm sure it will be either Python or PureBasic. It all depends on whi ch of them will give me best results for things that I want to achieve in my game.

Re: chat on some programming languages
Re: chat on some programming languages I'm currently experimenting in writing games with 3 languages, BGT, PureBasic, and Python. My final choice will of course be the one that will satisfy all my needs. Here are my findings and opinions.BGT: BGT is probably the only one that has all required stuff for writing audio games (sound menus, sound positioning, speaking numbers, pathfinder, audio forms), and that's why it's made for. However, it's syntax is C-like and I prefere more easily readable syntax like the one in Python and Basic languages. Also for some game stuff, such as creating maps and enemies, you'll probably need to spend more lines of code in BGT than you'll need with Python or PB.PureBasic: I was nostalgic about BNS Basic that I've learned to use back in late 2003. So I decided to buy PB in order to experiment with no limitation and to use it for some smaller app projects. It has the ability to pack sounds into the executable, which is good if I wanna protect my sounds from modifying by other users. The only thing that I have to find out yet is how much time it will take for me to transition from Python to PB, since there are big differences in some parts of the language .Python: Python would be the best choice for me, I'm programming in Python for 6 years and I will not have to learn new stuff required for transitioning to other programming language. However, the one and only reason why I don't feel good at writing games in Python is that I can't easily pack and encrypt sound files like I can do it in BGT. If I ever find the easy way on how to pack and encrypt sounds so they can't be modified by users, then I will not have to look forward, and I can choose Python and Pyglet with not too much thinking. It's always easier to write the game in something that you already know to use quite well, than with som ething that's new to you.

Re: PureTTS4 for PureBasic, is it still available somewhere? Thanks for uploading, it works now. I'll try to experiment if it works with 64-bit PureBasic as well, since I have installed both 32 and 64-bit versions of PB.

PureTTS4 for PureBasic, is it still available somewhere?
PureTTS4 for PureBasic, is it still available somewhere? Hello all,I've purchased PureBasic yesterday, hoping that I will use it for developing certain games and apps in the future. So I was Googleing for PureTTS4, but I haven't found any links to download it. Is it still available anywhere, or guys who are developing here in PB are now using something else? The links for PureTTS4 on PureBasic forum are broken, and I thought it'll be the best place to actually get it.

Re: PureTTS4 for PureBasic, is it still available somewhere?
Re: PureTTS4 for PureBasic, is it still available somewhere? Hello,Yep I found PureTTS4 on purearea.net. But it seams to be incompatible with PB5. It requires StringExtension library which has been changed to just String in later versions, and I can't modify it since it's closed source.

sound_pool update_sound_1d giving unexpected results
sound_pool update_sound_1d giving unexpected results
Hi all,Well, I'm trying not to ask as many questions, and instead I'm trying to experiment and fix bugs on my own as much as possible, but this time I'm stuck so I really have to ask.So, I'm making a game, and I already created a map and all the pits to jump over and so on, and there sound updating relative to player's position works properly. Then I've decided to start creating my first enemy, and it's AI works as I wanted, but it's sound is not updating properly as it's flying forwards and backwards.In short, I'm creating a type of insect who's gonna fly around player's head, then it'll attack and fly away, and then it'll fly back to the player for another attack and it'll do it like so until it's dead, of course. Similar to bats in Q9, for example. The problem is, the enemie's sound is updating properly when it's flying towards me from my right to my center, but it's
not updated when it's moving away from me, which means opposite, from my center back to my right. Here's the code for my enemy class.class insect{int health;int position;int speed;bool dead=false;timer moving_speed;insect(int init_health, int init_speed, int init_pos){this.health=init_health;this.position=init_pos;this.speed=init_speed;moving_speed.pause();moving_speed.force(0);}void make_sound(){sound_insect=pool.play_1d("sounds/insect.wav", player_position, this.position, true, true);}void move(){if(moving_speed.elapsed>=this.speed){moving_speed.restart();this.position--;}if(this.position==player_position){this.position+=50;}pool.update_sound_1d(sound_insect, this.position);}void die(){dead=true;}}P.s., my sound handles and player v
ariables are declared in other .bgt files, since I'm using multiple modules for my game to simplify coding for myself.So, I've called this enemy class with it's parameters on the first line of my enemies.bgt file like this:insect enemy_insect(100, 50, 200);Then, I've called enemy_insect.make_sound(); in game.bgt, inside my game_start function, just before entering do-while loop, and I wrote enemy_insect.move(); inside my do-while loop block.So, it works and enemy is moving properly, just confirmed with my debug code, but it's sound is not updated properly as I described above.
