Hi So, I'm hoping to be out of comms this week (I'm going with a friend who's on spring break, so he'll be on about 16 hours a day etc). So when we get out of comms, how popular are out of comms artifacts (a flat heavy object, that claw, the chip, etc)? 1 in every 20? 30? Etc. We're grabbing my surveyer on the way there, so not sure. Its 3700 ly out...we had, um, well his electricity went out last night and bye bye voyager. anyway. Was just curious how long I need to stay out there in order to get that receiver thing?

Hi, Yeah, I've heard that a lot from gamers. There doesn't seam to be a real demand for strategy style games as many blind gamers just aren't interested in that sort of thing. They express a desire for good but simplar games to play. One of the reasons STFC was written the way it was is because I didn't have a lot of Star Trek effects to speak of when I created STFC 1.x. However, in the past year I have come across a huge boat load of Star Trek effects including bridge ambience, weapons, warp engine effects, etc. Amung these effects I have the official sound of a moving Borg cube. So if I decide to go with this style of game play you will be able to actually hear ship x engines passing by or approaching you. I also have the official Star Trek TNG bridge ambience so it would be extremely authentic sounding for the gamer when I do STFC 2. kelby carlson wrote: I'd definitely like to see STFC 2 be along something of those lines.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi Claudio, If I might can I offer a bit of advice? As a new developer your reputation is at stake, and the last thing you want to do is give your customer base a wrong impression of you. Coming out and asking for money to get started is, well, not a great way to incurrage investers into your new game company. This is by no means a flame, but I want you to think of a couple of points below just for some consideration. 1. As a result of being a totally new programmer you have no history with the blind gaming community. No one has had a chance to sample any game titles from you, seen how well you program, if you make interesting games, etc. In short you haven't had a real opertunity to prove yourself to everyone. 2. When you ask a community such as ours to pay for the Basic 4PPC compiler it says to a lot of us you aren't going to be able to license quality music and sounds for your games. I have spent almost $300 on sound effects and music for my Tomb Hunter games so far and that is six times the price of that single compiler. Granted I was helped by selling Montezuma's Return, but the fact of the matter is if you want professional high quality sound effects you need a lot more cash than the $54 for the Basic 4PPC compiler. That puts a lot of doubt in my mind if you are finantially equipped to do production quality audio games. 3. I apologise if this seams sinical, but there are lots of free alternatives out there such as C++, Java, Visual C#, etc with a huge amount of free documentation out there for free. Every time I have attempted to interest you in a more low cost solution you say, that isn't for me. Ok, that is fine, but think of this. The fact of the matter is you don't have the money to invest in Basic 4PPC, and maybe it is time you look at more low cost solutions to get your feet wet in programming. To quote an Americanism, beggers can't be choosy. 4. As a fellow programmer I can see you are really struggling to understand something as simple as Visual Basic. As programming languages goes VB is an extremely easy programming language to learn, and if you can't grasp a language like Visual Basic your definitly not ready for full production games. Visual Basic is called that because it is a basic language, light on syntax, rules, and lacks more of the advanced features of C Style languages. It is very very basic. 5. Every time I begin taking on a programming student I incurrage them to learn a C or C style language. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself if there might be a practical reason for that? Besides my own personal preference for C style languages like C++, C#, and Java there is a very practical reason for choosing as I do. The professional game world uses C++ for the majority of games, code examples, and is filled with C++ programmers. If you were wishing to join a mainstream game development list for help you would litterally have to speak their language. In this case showing a code example in C++ or similar would get the most help. For example, not long ago I got and read a book on advanced A.I. systems for computers. Guess what? The entire book was full of code examples in C++. Had I not had even a basic grasp of the language I would have gotten nothing out of the book. As I have had both experience writing and reading C++ source the code examples were of help to me. If I was only a Basic programmer I wouldn't have gotten anything out of it. 6. I really do not mean this harshly, but many of us on this list are going through financial difficulties ourselves. Here in the U.S.A. the country is going through a financial period of massive inflation. The value of the American dollar is falling, gas prices have sky-rocketed out of control, utility bills have gone up, basic house hold needs have gone up in price, and everyone I personally know is in a bit of a financial crunch of one kind or another. Whoever takes office in 2009 is going to have one dandy of an economic mess to clean up after 8 years of what boils down to incompitence and mismanagement of physical responcibilities. Anyway, to the point with things as they are I don't know of anyone who has money to spend on donations or investments in an unknown company without a really good reason to do so. Things are tight enough as it is for some of us in the U.S.A. let alone spending out an extra $54 we could use for public transpertation or something else that is a necessity.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi Claudio, Quote For the voice I se two possibilitys: 1. I take a synthetick language like sapi or 2. I'll record it with my voice. End quote Correct if I am wrong but your native language is German? If you are going to be making games globally then you will likely want to use a Sapi voice which is of good quality that is more or less clear and unaccented for your products. If your personal English and accent is not clear it could effect the over all end user experience. For example, Playing In the Darks racing game is an ok racing game. However, the one thing that killed it for me was the voice files for the directions, menus, and things. The guys accent clearly wasn't American which was a bit jarring to me, and I personally wasn't too fond of his voice. In hind sight Eloquence would have been preferable over the voice that was used. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Hello Thomas! First of all, c or c++ is niot a language to beginn!!! The code is very hard to understand and if you dont have very huge knofledges in programming you wuldn't understand it. And for Vb I wuldn't program in it because i don't can create games for mobile fones!!! Basic 4ppc is one of the easist way to program games or software for the windows mobile fones. And now Thomas, I completely understand about what do you talk. You mean: Why musst i spend for a company where i don't know wich games they produce? You're completely right and I think that this is the wrong way for starting a new company. I also look for another possibility to continiuing with basic4ppc because i think this is the best language for programming mobile fones. And for Java, I definitely wuldn't learn this language!

Hi, Yeah, I've heard that a lot from gamers. There doesn't seam to be a real demand for strategy style games as many blind gamers just aren't interested in that sort of thing. They express a desire for good but simplar games to play. One of the reasons STFC was written the way it was is because I didn't have a lot of Star Trek effects to speak of when I created STFC 1.x. However, in the past year I have come across a huge boat load of Star Trek effects including bridge ambience, weapons, warp engine effects, etc. Amung these effects I have the official sound of a moving Borg cube. So if I decide to go with this style of game play you will be able to actually hear ship x engines passing by or approaching you. I also have the official Star Trek TNG bridge ambience so it would be extremely authentic sounding for the gamer when I do STFC 2. kelby carlson wrote: I'd definitely like to see STFC 2 be along something of those lines. Sounds very enjoyable if you ask me. I'm bad at turn-based strategy, but would probably be able to get the hang of this easier.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
I must admit, I disagree with you here tom. It's probably something to do with being English and getting lots of american films, tv etc, but I have no problem with accents so long as the speech is understandable. One of my very best friends is russian, and though she's lived in the uk sinse she was twelve, she stil has a noticeable russian accent, actually if I ever need a female barbarian warrior for a game I was going to ask for her voice tallents (a roll she'd fulfill very well, though slightly type cast, lol!). Obviously there is situational type casting, afterall if your yee old arthurian England knight is speaking with a German accent, there's something wrong, but generally I don't mind. In fact, appologies for saying, but i find American accents in very Arthurian or tolkeen like fantasy slightly incongruous. Not off putting, --- I'd just prefer an English accent in that context given the choice sinse it seems to go with the genre for me, the way a very English cowboy in the old west would just sound wrong. I fully agree with you on the clarity issue though, if an accent is so pronounced as to be unclear to non-natives of that accent, it's not going to be great in an audiogame. beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi Dark, Well, my issue with accented English was more to do with clarity rather than to do with acting and context. By all means if you have need of a Russian spy like in a James Bond type setting get a Russian to play the part as it will sound more authentic. If you are doing a game on World War II and you need a person to play the part of a German officer then by all means get someone with a Germanic accent. Accent really depends on the type of story or setting being told. One of my friends, Silvia, was from Germany, and she was pretty clear. Her English was very clear and her accent was not very strong. However, I did meet others in college who had very broken English and a very thick accent of their native language and it was difficult to always piece there words together with the accent and broken English. That would not be good in a game. Dark wrote: I must admit, I disagree with you here tom. It's probably something to do with being English and getting lots of american films, tv etc, but I have no problem with accents so long as the speech is understandable. One of my very best friends is russian, and though she's lived in the uk sinse she was twelve, she stil has a noticeable russian accent, actually if I ever need a female barbarian warrior for a game I was going to ask for her voice tallents (a roll she'd fulfill very well, though slightly type cast, lol!). Obviously there is situational type casting, afterall if your yee old arthurian England knight is speaking with a German accent, there's something wrong, but generally I don't mind.

Not off putting, --- I'd just prefer an English accent in that context given the choice sinse it seems to go with the genre for me, the way a very English cowboy in the old west would just sound wrong.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Agreed tom, clarity is very necessary, and I've certainly encountered people with such accents at my un (though as I said, not counting my russian friend). In fact, I would not use someone with a highly pronounced newcastle accent (a jordy accent as it's known up here), in a game because unless your used to it, it can be slightly uninteligeable. My main disagreement was with your example of topspeed 2 as being unclear and unatmospheric, personally I didn't have a problem with the voice in the game, and I actually felt the european English gave things a nice Grandprix type atmosphere, sinse I personally always associate motorracing with continental europe. the fact that I'm utterly pants at racing was my main obstacle in topspeed 2. I also didn't find the accent there unclear at all. Obviously though, there's going to be a fair amount of individuality in this, and I will admit I generally prefer humans to synths, unless they are very bad human voices, or very good synths such as the scansoft voices.

Hi Claudio, That is definitly a quandry. Honestly though I believe you are the first developer I know of that comes asking for hand outs and donations before he has learned to program. That makes it impossible for anyone to judge your skills as a programmer, game developer, and businessman. Without those things few people are probably willing to lay the money on the line.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi Dark. Did Light-tech have games that you can freely download so you could decide whether to support them or not? Are you a game developer and what did it take to get your stuff off the ground? Maybe giving suggestions to someone like Claudio would help instead of being so critical? I started out having the same issues as Claudio, but managed because I saved up for the language after trying it out, and because of my persistence to keep Mobile game development coming I have plenty of visitors and few donators, though I am grateful for what I do get! . Now, Claudio, how old are you? If you are over 18, you could buy the language with a credit card. I'll see about donating sometime to you in a month or so as money here for me is quite low.

HTH. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 7:49 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] we need your help! Hi Claudio, If I might can I offer a bit of advice? As a new developer your reputation is at stake, and the last thing you want to do is give your customer base a wrong impression of you. Coming out and asking for money to get started is, well, not a great way to incurrage investers into your new game company. This is by no means a flame, but I want you to think of a couple of points below just for some consideration. 1. As a result of being a totally new programmer you have no history with the blind gaming community. No one has had a chance to sample any game titles from you, seen how well you program, if you make interesting games, etc. In short you haven't had a real opertunity to prove yourself to everyone. 2. When you ask a community such as ours to pay for the Basic 4PPC compiler it says to a lot of us you aren't going to be able to license quality music and sounds for your games. I have spent almost $300 on sound effects and music for my Tomb Hunter games so far and that is six times the price of that single compiler. Granted I was helped by selling Montezuma's Return, but the fact of the matter is if you want professional high quality sound effects you need a lot more cash than the $54 for the Basic 4PPC compiler. That puts a lot of doubt in my mind if you are finantially equipped to do production quality audio games. 3. I apologise if this seams sinical, but there are lots of free alternatives out there such as C++, Java, Visual C#, etc with a huge amount of free documentation out there for free. Every time I have attempted to interest you in a more low cost solution you say, that isn't for me. Ok, that is fine, but think of this. The fact of the matter is you don't have the money to invest in Basic 4PPC, and maybe it is time you look at more low cost solutions to get your feet wet in programming. To quote an Americanism, beggers can't be choosy. 4. As a fellow programmer I can see you are really struggling to understand something as simple as Visual Basic. As programming languages goes VB is an extremely easy programming language to learn, and if you can't grasp a language like Visual Basic your definitly not ready for full production games. Visual Basic is called that because it is a basic language, light on syntax, rules, and lacks more of the advanced features of C Style languages. It is very very basic. 5. Every time I begin taking on a programming student I incurrage them to learn a C or C style language. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself if there might be a practical reason for that? Besides my own personal preference for C style languages like C++, C#, and Java there is a very practical reason for choosing as I do. The professional game world uses C++ for the majority of games, code examples, and is filled with C++ programmers. If you were wishing to join a mainstream game development list for help you would litterally have to speak their language. In this case showing a code example in C++ or similar would get the most help. For example, not long ago I got and read a book on advanced A.I. systems for computers. Guess what? The entire book was full of code examples in C++. Had I not had even a basic grasp of the language I would have gotten nothing out of the book. As I have had both experience writing and reading C++ source the code examples were of help to me. If I was only a Basic programmer I wouldn't have gotten anything out of it. 6. I really do not mean this harshly, but many of us on this list are going through financial difficulties ourselves. Here in the U.S.A. the country is going through a financial period of massive inflation. The value of the American dollar is falling, gas prices have sky-rocketed out of control, utility bills have gone up, basic house hold needs have gone up in price, and everyone I personally know is in a bit of a financial crunch of one kind or another. Whoever takes office in 2009 is going to have one dandy of an economic mess to clean up after 8 years of what boils down to incompitence and mismanagement of physical responcibilities. Anyway, to the point with things as they are I don't know of anyone who has money to spend on donations or investments in an unknown company without a really good reason to do so. Things are tight enough as it is for some of us in the U.S.A. let alone spending out an extra $54 we could use for public transpertation or something else that is a

You're completely right and I think that this is the wrong way for starting a new company. I also look for another possibility to continiuing with basic4ppc because i think this is the best language for programming mobile fones. And for Java, I definitely wuldn't learn this language! And now, i try to explayn why: For three monts ago i began to look for a good language for me. I have read several little tutorials and I have ask me: What's the right language for you? Wich language do you learn fast and wich language is not to hard for you? I read, I search and I've fund. Basic4ppc, that language for me. And as i have heared that i also can support programs for windows mobile fones i was very happy and i'll start to learn.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Man, I tried playing around with VB for Mobile development as well as C++ and had no luck with the SDKS and such. Somehow the .NET Framework was a bit nicer to me? I might give it a try though again and see what happens. Microsoft programming languages, especially for an IDE can be quite expensive, and doesn't have the close community that Basic4ppc or Python or Java have. - Original Message - From: Claudio [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 11:42 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi Ryan, Basic 4PPC is based on the Microsoft .NET Framework. The compact framework to be exact. This already ships with newer versions of Windows Mobile and CE. In addition the full .Net Framework, version 3.0, ships with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Anyway, I said all that to make you aware that in the future these technologies are going to be already present on most systems. For Windows XP and older versions of Windows Mobile yes you will have to add in those frameworks but it is a one time install.

[Audyssey] In regard to claudio
Hi. As there are several posts I agree with on this matter, I'll just roll it into a separate thread rather than bombarding the list with replies. I myself do not own a mobile phone. Though I have a linux PDA we probably know what it is... Braille+! Anyways. I aggreee with Thomas. Try a free compiler. Or people, go ahead, shoot me for saying this, but if basic 4 ppc is similar to that of the QBASIC or GWBASIC language for DOS (also runs on windows in a command prompt), I'd recommend trying that out first. I actually used to own a braille lite 2000 and made some cool apps with it. However, I kept getting errors like: line 45 of uno.src is too long Huh? There was no line 45 in the file, so I gave it up rather quickly and from that point just screwed any developing stuff. However, that language was BlazieBasic (louis worked in it), and imfo qbasic is similar to that of the standard basic. So if that basic 4 ppc is similar to qbasic (syntax, statements etc), then tffy qbasic. It's free ed I found a good tutorial, just google qbasic programming, and you've got something to practice with until people donate (i won't personally because, basically with what everyone said), so give it a look. VisualBasic6 isn't sold anymore (i do not think it is) so downloading vb6 from somewhere isn't exactly legal. Although eBay might have it, and the syntax isn't bad. I should really pick it up somewhere (we own a copy ryan uses it), I should probably start too lol. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

There are people who live in Phoenix, Arizona, who I would never use to create voice files for any game I produce because, frankly, I cannot understand them. They would say, for example, You go store for buy stuff me for? What they meant was Would you go to the store to buy stuff for me?

Hi Dark, Well, my issue with accented English was more to do with clarity rather than to do with acting and context. By all means if you have need of a Russian spy like in a James Bond type setting get a Russian to play the part as it will sound more authentic. If you are doing a game on World War II and you need a person to play the part of a German officer then by all means get someone with a Germanic accent. Accent really depends on the type of story or setting being told. One of my friends, Silvia, was from Germany, and she was pretty clear. Her English was very clear and her accent was not very strong. However, I did meet others in college who had very broken English and a very thick accent of their native language and it was difficult to always piece there words together with the accent and broken English.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi, I have to agree with Dark. His website, not to be mean to Claudio, is good, but was using a CMS, where no coding is necessary. (Not that this means much, CMS's are awesome). And that there is no evidence of at least a storyline. I have a person in mind, who expected people to donate, showing no coding capability, not even attempts, but just trying to steal code, and re-name it for this person. Just a warning Claudio, this person got flamed on blogs, email, etc, on his bad decisions, by taking coding, not even using money wisely, etc. Not that you are like this Claudio, but I'm sure a simple storyboard of a game will convince more people otherwise.

Agreed tom, clarity is very necessary, and I've certainly encountered people with such accents at my un (though as I said, not counting my russian friend). In fact, I would not use someone with a highly pronounced newcastle accent (a jordy accent as it's known up here), in a game because unless your used to it, it can be slightly uninteligeable. My main disagreement was with your example of topspeed 2 as being unclear and unatmospheric, personally I didn't have a problem with the voice in the game, and I actually felt the european English gave things a nice Grandprix type atmosphere, sinse I personally always associate motorracing with continental europe. the fact that I'm utterly pants at racing was my main obstacle in topspeed 2. I also didn't find the accent there unclear at all.

Hi Dark, Well, my issue with accented English was more to do with clarity rather than to do with acting and context. By all means if you have need of a Russian spy like in a James Bond type setting get a Russian to play the part as it will sound more authentic. If you are doing a game on World War II and you need a person to play the part of a German officer then by all means get someone with a Germanic accent. Accent really depends on the type of story or setting being told. One of my friends, Silvia, was from Germany, and she was pretty clear. Her English was very clear and her accent was not very strong. However, I did meet others in college who had very broken English and a very thick accent of their native language and it was difficult to always piece there words together with the accent and broken English. That would not be good in a game. Dark wrote: I must admit, I disagree with you here tom. It's probably something to do with being English and getting lots of american films, tv etc, but I have no problem with accents so long as the speech is understandable. One of my very best friends is russian, and though she's lived in the uk sinse she was twelve, she stil has a noticeable russian accent, actually if I ever need a female barbarian warrior for a game I was going to ask for her voice tallents (a roll she'd fulfill very well, though slightly type cast, lol!). Obviously there is situational type casting, afterall if your yee old arthurian England knight is speaking with a German accent, there's something wrong, but generally I don't mind. In fact, appologies for saying, but i find American accents in very Arthurian or tolkeen like fantasy slightly incongruous. Not off putting, --- I'd just prefer an English accent in that context given the choice sinse it seems to go with the genre for me, the way a very English cowboy in the old west would just sound wrong. I fully agree with you on the clarity issue though, if an accent is so pronounced as to be unclear to non-natives of that accent, it's not going to be great in an audiogame. beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi Claudio, Quote First of all, c or c++ is niot a language to beginn!! End quote That is very true, but I feel you have completely missed my point as to why it is important that you know C++ even if you never plan to use it. My disagreement is not with you using Basic 4PPC. I've been doing some research into it, and indeed it is very much a beginners language and seams easy enough to understand. I can understand and can clearly see why you like the language. My point, though, was that most game documentation, quality game documentation, from real professionals is all written in C++ examples. If you insist on only using a Basic level language then your documentation and programming growth will be stunted and limitted to that Basic level knowledge. For example, let us say some day you ask me to help you get a good book or tutorial on game math and physics. Knowing you want all samples and explanations to be written for Basic 4PPC I wouldn't be able to help you as there is not a huge library of resources on the subject, and I am certainly not going to translate everything into that programming language for one user. However, if you were skilled, at least knew C++, I could give you a number of game books on the same subject. One of the ones I use all the time is Programming Math and Physics by Wendy Staller. Yes, the entire book uses C++ all the way through the book to explain the various formulas and functions. I am skilled in C++ so can ttranslate everything into whatever language I need to use. It has opened many doors for my programming education that otherwise would have been closed off for me. Quote The code is very hard to understand and if you dont have very huge knofledges in programming you wuldn't understand it. End quote Yes and no. It is true that C++ can be frustrating and difficult to learn for a new programmer. However, as for the part you need to have huge knowledge in programming to understand it that is completely false from my point of view. When I was in college around 1997 or 1998 when I took C++ I was very new to programming. I didn't know anything in programming other than the 12 week course I had on Visual Basic 5 the quarter before. The difference between you and I was I wasn't a quitter. I didn't look at it the first day and say this is too hard and quit. I will admit it was rough, but I learned it with little to no programming experience behind me. Just to give you an idea of how much I got thrown at me the college course I took was held three days a week, for four hours a day, over a 12 week period. In short I got the entire C++ programming language thrown at me in the span of three months on a schedule with other classes and homework piled on top of it. Even with all that I learned the C++ language and completed the course with high grades. It may have been difficult, but it wasn't as bad as you make it sound. This might sound harsh, but I don't intend it to be taken that way. I've just heard a lot of this is too hard, that is too hard, I can't do it attitude with not a lot of effort on your part. If you really want to know what hard feels like take a full schedule of classes at your local college plus learn C++ at the same time with the same schedule I described above. I garentee you would have a completely different attitude on the subject. Learning the programming language with a full schedule, plus keeping your grades up, is not as easy as taking on a programming language in your free time if and when you feel like working on it.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC 2 was LW sound packs?
Hi, Well, the majority of my sound libraries came from some Star Trek sound and theme cds I purchased for Windows 95. They had a Next Generation, DS9, and Voyager disk that came with full motion vidios, wav files, pictures, icons, etc. They were there so you could create desktop themes for Windows 95/98. There were some sounds I acquired from the internet, and of course included them in my Trek sound libraries. Other sounds I got through other resources I'd rather not disclose how I obtained them. People might not be exactly happy with how I obtained them. Dakotah Rickard wrote: Oh. I love strategy games. I wish there were more of them.

Hi Dark, Quote My main disagreement was with your example of topspeed 2 as being unclear and unatmospheric, personally I didn't have a problem with the voice in the game, and I actually felt the European English gave things a nice Grandprix type atmosphere, sinse I personally always associate motorracing with continental Europe.

Hi, Cool. I figured it probably had some network support since .Net 3.0 and 3.5 has a quite well documented and good socket programming API for multiuser applications. I've been looking into .Net's network API as it would be nice to have a special track in Raceway that could allow for one on one racing. It would not effect your season standings and stats, but only allow for more free form racing between friends. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
Hi Claudio, Sorry, but I have to beg to disagree with you. Statistics show that more professional developers would choose Java over C++ or other languages. It is fairly easy to learn, has an extremely designed object oriented mottle, and is less error prone than other programming languages. Just because you, yourself, are not able to instantly understand my little Java Hello World program I sent you doesn't mean it isn't easy to learn and use if you don't put your mind to it instead of complaining about it. Remember nothing worth while comes easy if you aren't willing to put the effort into it. Anyway, as I do not want to offend you with mmy thoughts and opinions perhaps I should stop here, and close on this topic. Cheers. Claudio wrote: Hi Louis! Yes, java runs on mac and also on linux.

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
could of not said it better myself. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 10:49 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] we need your help! Hi Claudio, If I might can I offer a bit of advice? As a new developer your reputation is at stake, and the last thing you want to do is give your customer base a wrong impression of you. Coming out and asking for money to get started is, well, not a great way to incurrage investers into your new game company. This is by no means a flame, but I want you to think of a couple of points below just for some consideration. 1. As a result of being a totally new programmer you have no history with the blind gaming community. No one has had a chance to sample any game titles from you, seen how well you program, if you make interesting games, etc. In short you haven't had a real opertunity to prove yourself to everyone. 2. When you ask a community such as ours to pay for the Basic 4PPC compiler it says to a lot of us you aren't going to be able to license quality music and sounds for your games. I have spent almost $300 on sound effects and music for my Tomb Hunter games so far and that is six times the price of that single compiler. Granted I was helped by selling Montezuma's Return, but the fact of the matter is if you want professional high quality sound effects you need a lot more cash than the $54 for the Basic 4PPC compiler. That puts a lot of doubt in my mind if you are finantially equipped to do production quality audio games. 3. I apologise if this seams sinical, but there are lots of free alternatives out there such as C++, Java, Visual C#, etc with a huge amount of free documentation out there for free. Every time I have attempted to interest you in a more low cost solution you say, that isn't for me. Ok, that is fine, but think of this. The fact of the matter is you don't have the money to invest in Basic 4PPC, and maybe it is time you look at more low cost solutions to get your feet wet in programming. To quote an Americanism, beggers can't be choosy. 4. As a fellow programmer I can see you are really struggling to understand something as simple as Visual Basic. As programming languages goes VB is an extremely easy programming language to learn, and if you can't grasp a language like Visual Basic your definitly not ready for full production games. Visual Basic is called that because it is a basic language, light on syntax, rules, and lacks more of the advanced features of C Style languages. It is very very basic. 5. Every time I begin taking on a programming student I incurrage them to learn a C or C style language. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself if there might be a practical reason for that? Besides my own personal preference for C style languages like C++, C#, and Java there is a very practical reason for choosing as I do. The professional game world uses C++ for the majority of games, code examples, and is filled with C++ programmers. If you were wishing to join a mainstream game development list for help you would litterally have to speak their language. In this case showing a code example in C++ or similar would get the most help. For example, not long ago I got and read a book on advanced A.I. systems for computers. Guess what? The entire book was full of code examples in C++. Had I not had even a basic grasp of the language I would have gotten nothing out of the book. As I have had both experience writing and reading C++ source the code examples were of help to me. If I was only a Basic programmer I wouldn't have gotten anything out of it. 6. I really do not mean this harshly, but many of us on this list are going through financial difficulties ourselves. Here in the U.S.A. the country is going through a financial period of massive inflation. The value of the American dollar is falling, gas prices have sky-rocketed out of control, utility bills have gone up, basic house hold needs have gone up in price, and everyone I personally know is in a bit of a financial crunch of one kind or another. Whoever takes office in 2009 is going to have one dandy of an economic mess to clean up after 8 years of what boils down to incompitence and mismanagement of physical responcibilities. Anyway, to the point with things as they are I don't know of anyone who has money to spend on donations or investments in an unknown company without a really good reason to do so. Things are tight enough as it is for some of us in the U.S.A. let alone spending out an extra $54 we could use for public transpertation or something else that is a necessity.

Hi Claudio, Quote First of all, c or c++ is niot a language to beginn!! End quote That is very true, but I feel you have completely missed my point as to why it is important that you know C++ even if you never plan to use it. My disagreement is not with you using Basic 4PPC. I've been doing some research into it, and indeed it is very much a beginners language and seams easy enough to understand. I can understand and can clearly see why you like the language. My point, though, was that most game documentation, quality game documentation, from real professionals is all written in C++ examples. If you insist on only using a Basic level language then your documentation and programming growth will be stunted and limitted to that Basic level knowledge. For example, let us say some day you ask me to help you get a good book or tutorial on game math and physics. Knowing you want all samples and explanations to be written for Basic 4PPC I wouldn't be able to help you as there is not a huge library of resources on the subject, and I am certainly not going to translate everything into that programming language for one user. However, if you were skilled, at least knew C++, I could give you a number of game books on the same subject. One of the ones I use all the time is Programming Math and Physics by Wendy Staller. Yes, the entire book uses C++ all the way through the book to explain the various formulas and functions. I am skilled in C++ so can ttranslate everything into whatever language I need to use. It has opened many doors for my programming education that otherwise would have been closed off for me. Quote The code is very hard to understand and if you dont have very huge knofledges in programming you wuldn't understand it. End quote Yes and no. It is true that C++ can be frustrating and difficult to learn for a new programmer. However, as for the part you need to have huge knowledge in programming to understand it that is completely false from my point of view. When I was in college around 1997 or 1998 when I took C++ I was very new to programming. I didn't know anything in programming other than the 12 week course I had on Visual Basic 5 the quarter before. The difference between you and I was I wasn't a quitter. I didn't look at it the first day and say this is too hard and quit. I will admit it was rough, but I learned it with little to no programming experience behind me. Just to give you an idea of how much I got thrown at me the college course I took was held three days a week, for four hours a day, over a 12 week period. In short I got the entire C++ programming language thrown at me in the span of three months on a schedule with other classes and homework piled on top of it. Even with all that I learned the C++ language and completed the course with high grades. It may have been difficult, but it wasn't as bad as you make it sound. This might sound harsh, but I don't intend it to be taken that way. I've just heard a lot of this is too hard, that is too hard, I can't do it attitude with not a lot of effort on your part. If you really want to know what hard feels like take a full schedule of classes at your local college plus learn C++ at the same time with the same schedule I described above. I garentee you would have a completely different attitude on the subject. Learning the programming language with a full schedule, plus keeping your grades up, is not as easy as taking on a programming language in your free time if and when you feel like working on it.

Charles, i think I et what tom is trying to say here, sinse similar things happened when I was studdying formal logic. suppose I wanted to show you the meaning of an opperator called star, an opperator being something like the english not, and, if, or etc. Take these examples: 1 Star two equals 3. Or the second example: Jack not star jill equals jack. One example here is in the context of maths, another in the context of english, but they both show the function of star in logic, that being and. I think this is how programming books give examples in one language which help people learn another, afterall if you knew nothing about numbers, my first example wouldn't make much sense to you. appologies to everyone if I've utterly confused people here, and even more appologies to tom if I'm uba wrong on this point about programming languages.

Hi Dark, Well, my issue with accented English was more to do with clarity rather than to do with acting and context. By all means if you have need of a Russian spy like in a James Bond type setting get a Russian to play the part as it will sound more authentic. If you are doing a game on World War II and you need a person to play the part of a German officer then by all means get someone with a Germanic accent. Accent really depends on the type of story or setting being told. One of my friends, Silvia, was from Germany, and she was pretty clear. Her English was very clear and her accent was not very strong. However, I did meet others in college who had very broken English and a very thick accent of their native language and it was difficult to always piece there words together with the accent and broken English. That would not be good in a game. Dark wrote: I must admit, I disagree with you here tom.

Claudio, with all due respect, just because something may be difficult for you, yourself to learn, doesn't mean that it is necessarily the same for everyone else. smiles, Cara :) On Apr 7, 2008, at 12:02 PM, Claudio wrote: Hi Louis!

Re: [Audyssey] we need your help!
wow you seem to be stuck with this approach. I started programming with java script, html and freepascal about 3 years ago for a year. I even got c# to start doing things. The reason I quit in the end was I kept forgetting my stuff, where things were, etc. And at first the idea of programming sounded glorious, I could actually make software. The reality of it is its hard as hell, not to discurrage you or anything but it can be boring and frustrating especially if you don't know what you are doing. And I guess programming aint my thing. NOt to say that at some point it may be. One day I may actually try java, mainly because I use the runtimes of sun and they are for the most part accessible and quite fast. There is not a tonn of hard drive space taken up by the resource kits I need. at least 4gb if I had all the visual studio express files, at least 2 gb for resource kits, dx9 and xact, sapi5, and 4. dx8, dot net 1 2 3 and 3.5. I decided not to bother, wasting a good 10gb on just programming aah nope. At 03:37 a.m. 8/04/2008, you wrote: Hello Thomas! First of all, c or c++ is niot a language to beginn!!! The code is very hard to understand and if you dont have very huge knofledges in programming you wuldn't understand it. And for Vb I wuldn't program in it because i don't can create games for mobile fones!!! Basic 4ppc is one of the easist way to program games or software for the windows mobile fones. And now Thomas, I completely understand about what do you talk. You mean: Why musst i spend for a company where i don't know wich games they produce? You're completely right and I think that this is the wrong way for starting a new company. I also look for another possibility to continiuing with basic4ppc because i think this is the best language for programming mobile fones. And for Java, I definitely wuldn't learn this language! And now, i try to explayn why: For three monts ago i began to look for a good language for me. I have read several little tutorials and I have ask me: What's the right language for you? Wich language do you learn fast and wich language is not to hard for you? I read, I search and I've fund. Basic4ppc, that language for me. And as i have heared that i also can support programs for windows mobile fones i was very happy and i'll start to learn.

Re: [Audyssey] podcast on miriani?
Although I don't play much theese days it is a good idea to stay in your ship. and ships go to the garage after the first shutdown of the ship. Stranding a player is allowed, so staying in your ship is a good idea unless you want want to be moved around. The polocy at the time I played said you could be moved anywhere as long as you were not out of coms range, or had a ship to go back to where ever. Ofcause that doesn't garantee you can be left on some alien world outside known space though. I played with one friend when I was new and aparently there can be some nasty characters on the game. Like you the first time I just quit the game and then found myself in a different place. People can also shoot you with stun guns in the game. For a week or so when you are new you do get some protection, but a week is all you get. Another warning is that if you hear on scanners that a fight is going on, mostly at sector 24 don't go there unless you want to rumble. Some people just practice and don't want people around them, someone almost blew me out of space, and once I got in the middle of a fight, and had to retreat. Do not shoot plannets or stations or space infrastructure unless you want a missle to get you.

Hi, I think it probably would be worth it. i've just started playing it, and i haven't got a clue what i'm doing. I was standing on the landing pad where you first start the game yesterday when I logged in, but I logged in tonight, and found myself in the control room of a star ship. What do u think happened?

Hi, all I'm curious to know, would doing a podcast on miriani be worth it? I mean, who here hasn't played it and, furthermore, for those that do play it, do you think a podcast would help those who don't get a better understanding of how you play it? And also, help those who've never played a mud before get the basics of one? thanks Have a good day from Tyler C.
