Re: [Audyssey] Games
What sort of games would you like to play? As Charlse said, the big list at Pcs games http://www.pcsgames.net/ is a pretty complete list of all audio, self-voiccing games (and some others as well). Thom Lorimer's Whitestick.co.uk site: http://www.whitestick.co.uk/ also has lists of screen reader accessible games which can be played online, and a page about online fantasy adventure game books which are screen reader friendly as well. then, if you'd like to try interactive fiction games, - games where you progress through a story by typing commands such as "go north" or "take brass lantern" then I'd recommend having a look at this guide to interactive fiction site: http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6&c=0 appologies for bombarding you with links, but I wasn't certain from your post what types of games you meant or what you might be interested in.

Re: [Audyssey] AudioQuake question
Hi, Have you tried from the demo hiting the grauve accent? The one right beside the numbers row 1 and typing "disconnect"? The manual, last I saw of it, didn't actually explain this very well, but that's what you need to do. Then you can type such things as Name and map agtut01 and so on. The name command is for internet games. If you need any more help, you can feel free to contact me if you wish. I'm not a quake dev, but I've been playing it for over a year.

Re: [Audyssey] Interactive Fiction games
Hi It's good to see you on the list. Personally I like interactive fiction games with a lot of choice as to what you can do and different ways of solving puzzles etc. The best way I think of doing this is making a quite complex rpg where you can choose to do things like be good or evil honourable or unforgiving and so on which can really add to a game. I also think that story is extremely important second to gameplay. If you have to make a few spelling or gramatical errors to get that done then that's fine with me. I know that sounds demanding, but it would be better for an if writer to spend a few years on a really good if game then to spend only a few months and make not such a great game. A famous game writer once said that a delayed game is eventually a good game, but a bad game is bad forever.

Re: [Audyssey] Interactive Fiction games
Hello David. My name is Raul Gallegos and I'm one of the co-moderators of the Audyssey gaming list. I'm glad you joined us and please do accept my apology for not approving your message right away. It's been hectic these last few days and I'm just now getting around to reading email since Thursday or Friday. Now on to your question. I like Text adventure games, or Interactive Fiction as they are now better known as. My favorite current interpraters are the Adrift and the TADS games. I still play many of the Zcode games, but it seems the more interesting ones are from Adrift and TADS. I've also gotten into learning Adrift myself and am in the process of writing around 3 different games. One is an adult interactive fiction, the second one is of a more general adventure, and the third one is where the player is a blind character. As far as replayability goes, I tend to have puzzles which are part of my games, but not necessary to complete the game. For example, this gives the player a reason to keep playing. He or she may finish the game but not get all total points or all objects or rewards. To make them accessable is not too difficult as long as, like you already mentioned, the graphics are either kept at a minimum, or there is an alternative way of enjoying what the graphics provide. In other words, if the graphic shows a picture containing some code which the player would need to see to get past a certain puzzle, then it's useless to a blind person. But if the graphic is there for entertainment and there is perhaps another way of getting the clue you need to get past the puzzle, then why not have the graphic? Hope this helps. - Original Message - From: "David Fisher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2007 12:29 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Interactive Fiction games > Hi!

[Audyssey] Interactive Fiction games
Hi! Just introducing myself ... My name is David Fisher, and I usually hang around the rec.arts.int-fiction newsgroup, which is to do with creating Interactive Fiction games. I'm not actually blind, but I would like to find out if you guys had any suggestions about writing games. The most obvious thing I can think of is not to include ASCII graphics, like maps and things like that. Any others? I was also wondering what your favourite type of Interactive Fiction was. I had a look at the first issue of Audyssey, and Michael Feir mentioned a preference for games that can be replayed ... this can be a bit hard with Interactive Fiction, since once you know how to solve a puzzle, the challenge disappears. The plot is also the same every time, unless the game generates a different story every time you play - which would be very cool, but a huge amount of work to write. It may be a while before I get a game written, but I just thought I'd ask for your point of view on these things. >From David Fisher ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Baseball
well yes, it is a rather, but who says Tortology is a bad thing? but also, it's always amused me that in ancient Griece the words had opposite meanings. If I remember properly, "politician" means "man of the city" ie, someone who took part in governing the city and speaking in the public forum which made decisions for the city as a hole, like whether to go to war or not. "Idiot" I believe meant someone concerned with their own affairs who didn't take any part in the city government. So, in ancient griece it was impossible to be both a politician and idiot at the same time, - obviously a lot has changed sinse then smile! Beware the Grue!

[Audyssey] Feedback on scrabble needed
As most of you know, there is a Scrabble game that works on the PM and I've created scripts for it. I'm about to modify those scripts, but I need feedback on what I can do to make them better. The mods will include 1. Tile Selection. When you press 1 thru 7 the Jaws cursor will be activated. 2. Play mode. When you press p chord or insert p, the PC cursor will be activated. Ideas I have for mods 3. Selection notification: computer will beep when tile is selected but not when deselected. (don't know how to go about doing that one but I'm gonna work on it.) 4. Find a Letter to build on The last two ideas may not be feasible. Well, that's all for now--gonna go play more Crazy Bubbles--that game's addictive! Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive!

You might want to have a look at http://wormhole.se/index.php/Visually_Impaired , that should give you some tips on how to get started. The login should work as following: Server sends: By what name do you wish to be known: You type: A name you want to use and press enter. Server sends: Did i get that right, the name you wrote? (Y/N) You type: y and press enter This only happens when you create a new character, if you already have a character you will get a password question. Now the process of creating your character starts. You will be presented with a number of questions. I won't go through them all here buy let me know if you need more help.

Re: [Audyssey] Hello
Hi Jim, I like it. As I don't know anything about the actual baseball teams and players, I've been making random team match ups, and to have themed players would be cool for example, the current set of games I'm playing is the idiots vs the politicians. Obviously it'd be cool if people Like Tony blaire, Gordon Brown, George bush and colin powel could bat or pitch for the politicians. On a similar note, I wonder if you've ever considdered expanding the monopoly board creator to give you even more customization in the game. You could for example add the ability to customize the currency with the board. there are many boards like Middle earth, starwars, - or even london, where using dollars might not be appropriate (I'm personally used to playing monopoly with pounds for example). You might also considder adding the ability to eddit the tocan types, - so that you could go round the board with characters appropriate to that setting (like Frodo and Co on the middle earth board, or the Simpsons family on the Simpsons board). finally, you might considder adding the ability to eddit the text on the chance and community chest cards. so for example, on the middle earth board, instead of "Supertax lose 200 dollars" it could read "Smaug plunders some of your gold to add to his hoard, lose 200 gold" though I wonder if this last change might be more difficult programming wise, sinse presumably in the program the text of the cards, incometax, win 2nd prize in a beauty contest etc, isn't clearly separate from it's effect, lose 200 dollars etc. Stil, there's my suggestions, let me know what you think.

There is a status window popping up when Mudix is starting I'll have to check the sourcecode of mudix and see if I can make it dissapear. This MUD client is dedicated to Wormhole MUD and autoconnects when you access the webserver. However there was a problem with the MUD so that might have been a bit confusing. It's back up again. /Adam Regards, Adam ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Idea for game
Hello everyone it's Jason again. I was wondering about if an accessible game of soccer could be created. It would be great to here crowd noise players kicking the ball and having names of teams just like the world cup and I hope the U.SA wins the cup this year but good luck to all the soccer teams out there. I was also hoping when you score a goal the announcer shouts goal in excitement and the crowd goes crazy and you here the victory song for each team. your friend, Jason - Original Message - From: "ian and riggs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 10:54 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Idea for game > yes it would be a cool kind of game if it could be done. > > also i would like a socker manager game for the blind made for windows if > it > was possable but based on proper teams and players. > > that would be grate > - Original Message - > From: "Ari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Gamers Discussion list" > Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 2:45 PM > Subject: [Audyssey] Idea for game > > >> Hi guys, >> Found this in The Guardian from the UK, would love a game like this, it >> really seems charmingly fun! >> Ari >> Diner Dash Nintendo DS, PSP >> >> nick gillett >> >> Diner Dash makes you the sole member of the waiting staff in a >> >> sequence of progressively larger and busier restaurants.

Re: [Audyssey] Idea for game
Hello everyone it's Jason I think tht would be a good idea for a resturant game as well. I love food and lots of it. I also like trying out different varieties of food as well. so I think that kind of a game would be fun, especialy if you manage rooby Tuesdays or apple b's or some be corporate resturant. your friend, Jason - Original Message - From: "damien c. sadler - head of x-sight interactive" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Idea for game > that sounds almost like theme park or theme hospital, but just for > restaurants. > > regards, > > damien > > > > > - Original Message - > From: "Ari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Gamers Discussion list" > Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 2:45 PM > Subject: [Audyssey] Idea for game > > >> Hi guys, >> Found this in The Guardian from the UK, would love a game like this, it >> really seems charmingly fun! >> Ari >> Diner Dash Nintendo DS, PSP >> >> nick gillett >> >> Diner Dash makes you the sole member of the waiting staff in a >> >> sequence of progressively larger and busier restaurants.
