Re: ADRIFT 5.0 Is Now Open Source
Re: ADRIFT 5.0 Is Now Open Source I tried on 2019 first, and just got a whole bunch of errors. I can probably try it again, to be fair.I figured out the infragistics thing as well, that is apparently the UI components the tool uses. And of course, they are 2 years out of date, and the versions it uses are not bundled with the repo nor are they downloadable, so I ran into a roadblock there. The guy says he'll focus on this for next release, no idea how often releases happen so I guess fingers crossed.

Re: ADRIFT 5.0 Is Now Open Source
Re: ADRIFT 5.0 Is Now Open Source I've tried, but I can't get the thing to build properly. You need Visual Studio 2013 for it, which has ...accessibility challenges, to put it mildly. It kinda works, kinda ...but I'm getting all kinds of errors. For someone who wants to try, my notes:- You need vs 2013 with update 5 installed. On trying to install this, you might get an error about your computer needing to restart first. This is bullshit, you likely have a registry key lying around that shouldn't be there. From memory it's called RebootRequired, but if you google the error it's easy enough to find the exact key location.- Next, the AdriftSetup project isn't supported due to a missing project type dependency, which I think is InstallShield LE from my googling, but I haven't verified that. I don't think we need it as I think that is just the installer, but there you have it.- Next when you try to get the Runner to build, you'll run into a Nuget error that says underlying connections are breaking. This has to do with the way TLS was upgraded, and can be resolved by going to tools -> extensions and updates, going to "Visual Studio Gallery" under "Updates", and updating Nuget.- Next, you'll get a whole heap of errors, as well as warnings about a dependency called "Infragistics4.Shared.v20.1" not being found. This is where I gave up, I have no idea where this dependency might be and if we actually need it.- Finally I looked at some of the forms and just could barely even see their contents in VS 2013, so yeah ...good luck for anyone who makes it to this point. The utterly frustrating part is that I am sure a lot of the fixes we need, making the UI buttons and such at least readable, would be a 10-minute task for a sighted coder.There's a github issue where the dev has said he'd work on improving this, and obviously that's a good thing, but it's also several weeks old and I have no idea to what degree this person has time and know-how to do so. I'd do it, but I just can't get the thing operational enough to do so URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/581334/#p581334 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: ADRIFT 5.0 Is Now Open Source
Re: ADRIFT 5.0 Is Now Open Source Huh ...I might have a look at that.There are a number of Adrift games I would love to be able to play, but because the runner is so inaccessible I can't, and alternatives like Scare either don't work anymore or don't work with things like multimedia features.

Re: Question about CEH training program
Re: Question about CEH training program If you mean certified ethical hacker, it will be ...interesting.The majority of tools will work, in the sense that they are commandline tools, but some major ones will not. Burpsuite, which you will almost certainly encounter, is completely inaccessible, and they don't give a shit about that either. The open-source alternative, Zed Attack Proxy, is a bit better, but I'm not sure if it can actually be used properly at present.Before you even get there though, you'll need an OS, most likely virtualized, that talks to you. Getting that working might take some doing as well, although I can probably toss you a talking Kali VM if you need it.

Re: anyone using Node for back end web development?
Re: anyone using Node for back end web development? It's really what you intend to do with it that matters here, I think.Node's real thing is the asynchronous, non-blocking model that allows for a huge amount of concurrent connections essentially by default. I'd argue Elixir does this in a far better way, but then, that is also a far more non-standard language As for Ruby vs Python ...if you want to be explicit and have the framework do what you tell it to rather than what it thinks you told it, go Python Django. If you'd like magic based on (sometimes obscure) configuration conventions, go Ruby on Rails.Both can be gotten used to, but I honestly do have to caution that Rails apps, while they are great for rapidfire prototyping, are a major pain to debug at times because of the implicit way it does things for you. If you're not 100% proficient in Rails, super simple debugging can take WAY longer than it needs to.As for the project you mentioned, legal terminology database ...I mean technically all of these could work. Node seems overkill for this, but if you add ExpressJS and MongoDB to it I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I also don't really see any particular advantage of doing this over more established and wider supported paradigms like PHP/Ruby though.

Re: IOS Development
Re: IOS Development You got that right.Xcode, while vast, is mostly meant for apps in Swift and Objective-C. Unlike Visual Studio IDE on Windows, it never really branched out to cover _javascript_, Python and other languages perhaps except for C++, although I haven't looked at Xcode for quite some time so I don't remember off the top of my head.Vs Code is cross-platform and will work with ReactNative. React-Native, to build on iOS however, still needs a mac and I do believe it talks to the commandline toolchain that xCode also uses under the hood in some fashion, although I do not know the specifics of that exactly.

Re: Accessible coding boot camps for the blind
Re: Accessible coding boot camps for the blind More and more bootcamps start offering an online option, where you essentially pay slightly less and work through the material of the bootcamp. Please note, slightly less. Think 5k instead of 6k But those offer mentor sessions, access to instructors/other students et cetera.The firehose project comes to mind mostly because almost all of it is text-based. So does Viking School, which is essentially the paid version of the Odin Project.I've found that video-based curricula are quite a bit more difficult. Videos can often be made accessible just fine ...they just usually aren't. And if that's a Udemy course worth 50 bucks I can't really care all that much. If it's thousands of dollars I am supposed to invest ...yeah no thanks.As for hackathons and pair programming ...there are ways of doing it. Usually one of the two will do documentation diving or googling and the other will drive, writing code as the other person calls out useful methods to use and such. Another way is to rubber-duck debug while you're coding, which can work well when the algorithm you're going to use isn't quite set in stone yet.

Re: a great coding resource, free code camp .org
Re: a great coding resource, free code camp .org Hah,Found that, did you? I have been involved with making FreeCodeCamp accessible for the last few years. I'm even mentioned in one of the tasks currently, although they do intend to overhaul the curriculum soon to make it more project-based.So, they mostly teach HTML, CSS and _javascript_, with recently Python as well. I wasn't aware they taught PHP but I might just have missed it.Where a lot of websites use CodeMirror or it's derivatives for the interactive code editor, Codecademy comes to mind, FreeCodeCamp now uses the Monaco editor, which is theeditor component of Visual Studio Code. I've been working with that team as well to make the editor accessible and even though it's still a work in progress, it's miles ahead of any other Windows-based editor in my opinion, although using NVDA is highly recommended for now.Also ...I don't mean to bash Codecademy, they are working on making their stuff more accessible and once that happens I would totally recommend them as a resource, as well.

Re: Blind Developers Working Full-Time
Re: Blind Developers Working Full-Time Are you working for a company?- Yes, currently I am, although I am also considering freelance work at present. Are you doing contract work? Not yet, although I am seriously considering that.What area of development does your work focus on (web development, database management, AI, etc)?I've pretty much always been a back end web developer. PHP, Python, Ruby , c# .NET and _javascript_ are top contenders for the work I tend to do.However, more and more application logic is moving to the front end, where frameworks like VueJS and React are powering a large part of the applications out there. So I am also teaching myself those in my spare time. Do you like where you work? Given I will end my contract with this company in a few days I would say no, not really. I used to, but company management decisions have ruined the company culture for me .Is their in-house software accessible?Most of the companies I have worked for really don't give a shit about accessibility, I am sorry to say. It's not important to them, they nave no budget for it, their demographic doesn't need it, on and on and on. I tend to try to fix things as I go along but it's a one-man effort most of the time.As for tooling, that really depends on the company. What's the culture like? This company I work at right now is very laid back, which is good in some respects and bad in others. In this case, there's a sort of laxity to the whole place where they aren't very pushed to do well because they make money anyway.What do you do on a day-to-day basis? It varies. I build features, fix bugs, test new functionality, give colleagues code reviews, process their code reviews for me, etc.What made you choose to work for that company? The tech stack they had seemed cool, they seemed pretty professional. The market they were in was new to me and it intrigued me so I figured I'd give it a go.

Re: Looking for motivated, hard working and ambitious Developers. I'm a developer, just not an audiogame developer. So I probably don't qualify for being on your team, but I am going to have to agree with a number of statements that have already been made in this thread.I like your mentality, I also like what you are trying to achieve. What I don't like is how vague your intended road to get to your goal seems at present.You say you have a lot of ideas, but when asked for them you don't address the question. I guess what you are trying to do is make sure your ideas aren't stolen, but you do have to keep in mind that even within the game development community people have different specialties. Do you want to make a shooter? A strategy game? Perhaps a puzzle game? These all require vastly different ways of thinking about problems. Do you have a preference for what technologies you want to use? What platform you want the program/game to run on? Is there budget for developers to be paid for their effort? What wil l happen to the profits of this game, once it is becoming profitable? Are you only aiming to make one game, or several?All I see is someone who, according to himself, can lead a team and wants to improve the image of the blind community, which I like. For the rest, I have no idea what it is you want to do and when taking on a development project, that is NOT a good place to be in. Throw us a bone, will you?

Hi,So ...what's going on is this. My code is below, it is a modified version of the windows_attack script. I am trying to make it into a pong game, but I'm having a few problems, namely:- The ball comes towards the player, but the volume doesn't really increase. Ithink there's something wrong with my volume calculations or I am suing soundPool wrong.- I am trying to , instead of having balls spawn space-invader style, have a hit ball be either hit back or let through based on a random number. Not sure if I should trick it into just still spawning balls but make it a random event and use a 'hit back' sound, or actually make the same ball object go up and down. What would be the best strategy here?Here's my code:#include "sound_positioning.bgt"

const int board_size = 21;
const int initial_position = 10;

some bgt issues
some bgt issues Hi,I am working on a little game in my free time, mainly to learn about game mechanics and programming for them. I would really be helped by someone I can IM about this and bounce ideas off of now and again when I get stuck. I for example am having some issues with the soundPool class at the moment and I think this is a problem someone who has more experience with it could solve in 10 seconds, allowing me to continue on.Is there anyone who can give me a hand with this on something like Skype or an other IM service from time to time?Thanks,Zersiax URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=257745#p257745 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
