Re: [Audyssey] Writing or making games
Hi Paulette, There are a number of text adventure game toolkits and languages and there is no one size fits all solution. Here is a list of the more common ones with websites for you to look at. Adrift 5.0 http://www.adrift.org.uk This is primarily an adventure and development toolkit for Windows games. The Adrift Generator uses a dialog based wizard for developing text adventures. It is a great starting place for beginners because there is little to no programming involved. Inform 7 http://www.inform7.com Inform 7 is an interactive fiction design system that uses natural language and samantics to create complex text adventures. It is fully cross-platform, and is one of the most widely used and supported text adventure systems today. Tads 3 http://www.tads.org TADS is a free authoring system for writing your own Interactive Fiction. It offers a complete set of programming tools for creating high-quality interactive fiction. Besides the popular interactive fiction and text adventure systems mentioned above you can just as easily use an off the shelf language like Python http://www.python.org to develop high quality text adventures as well. Cheers! On 4/25/2012 8:56 PM, Paulette Vickery wrote: Hi Jim, Where can I get a text adventure kit? It really sounds interesting.

Hi paulette. Hope the site is useful. Actually you don't need to register just to look at the games database, that's available to anyone, though if you are registered you can post on the forum, and you'd be very welcome. As I said, there's really nothing to stop you trying games out, since even the commercial ones have demos, so I hope you find something you like.

For instance, there are now audio games just using sound in catagories from arcade and fast action, to horror shooter, to racing, rpg and stratogy. There are traditional card, puzzle or board games, going up to and including online ones with multiplayer features right up to high competitive online poker or hearts with full tournaments (though luckily not with real money). There are online brouser games that let you build and control an empire, and gamebooks which function slightly like if games, but without typing commands.there are brouser rpgs and stratogy games too that play with a screen reader. That's indeed why I gave you the links to www.audiogames.net and www.pcsgames.net, sinse really the only way to determine whether you might like something is to give it a try, and even the games that are sold commercially have demos to try.

Hi Kieth. No idea on the ai thing, but lonewolf is on the gmagames site, indeed I am surprised you didn't find it when you went to look up shades of doom and gma tank commander. kieth, I do very much suggest you look at the pcs games list at www.pcsgames.net and the audiogames.net database at www.audiogames.net, both are the best places to look at games and will give you a much better overview than you just asking about whatever games we happen to mention on list. There are lots of good games we might not discuss, plus of course it's always better to make up your own mind on these things and see for yourself what is available. The audiogames.net db comes with hopefully informative descriptions of the games with links to resources, and also the facility to search by genre, while the fantastic games and where to find them list at pcs serves as a massive list of websites so is great for an overview.

This is not a traditional shooter or an arcade style game where you poke buttons to shoot digital bullets at virtual zombies. ZDAY is a 21st century text-based Simulator that puts you the player in tough, real-world situations and says what would YOU do?. Beautifully illustrated by renowned DC comics artist Matt Haley, ZDAY is an intelligent adventure game that starts you in a crowded suburb at ground zero of a full blown infection, and says what would you do?. Faced with one scenario after another, the player has to make choices that will either lead him to escape the zombie-filled suburbs or perish like so many others. The sophisticated game engine keeps track of every decision that you make, and keeps a running tab on your survival probability based on the choices you make. So keep your wits about you, and choose carefully, because one wrong move could have you facing a zombie horde or roving bands of trigger-happy looters. The detailed results given after the player has completed the challenge provides very useful insight to what he may have done right and wrong. If the player wants to try again he can, and since the game engine reshuffles many of the exact events, ZDAY Survival Simulator is never exactly the same twice.

[Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!
Hi all, I have never downloaded a game before. So, I am going to download a free game today. What do I need to know before I do it? I have a pc which has Windows XP Professional and Window Eyes installed. Please don't assume that I know anything about downloading games. We all know what happens when we assume, don't we. Smile. I am thinking about downloading the game, Christmas Whoopass, because it is different than anything I have ever played and it sounds like mindless fast action and a lot of fun. Thanks in advance for your help. Paulette --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!
Hi Paulette. With most games on windows, the process is very easy, and Christmas whoopass is no exception. Just hit the download link (you can use the one on audiogames.net or use the developers' own site, audiogames.net just gives it for convenience), then you will be asked if you want to download the file, and whether you want to run or save it. Generally, you will want to save it, because that file contains the program for the game, so hit save. I personally have a downloads folder where I save anything I download to, but you can save it whereever you wish. then you'll have to wait while it downloads. This won't take long, though can vary according to what type of internet connection you have and how large the file is, but mostly shouldn't take long. when it is downloaded, if it's an .exe file, ie a program that is ready to just install (like christmass whoopass is), just go and find it with windows explorer and hit enter on it. An install program will pop up which will put the game onto your computer. It'll ask you what folder to install the game in (it'll choose C:\program files by default), and where to put shortcuts to start the game, but mostly you can just go through hitting the next button. Once all this is done, you'll find the shortcuts for running the game usually straight in your programs menue, and can read the instructions or run the game straight off. Thsi is also the way you run and install any program from the internet that could be useful to you, so it's good knolidge to have. Of course some games are not install .exe files, adn may come in a zip folder instead, those aren't hard to deal with either though, however I won't clutter this message up with an explanation of that as well when your just trying to get used to downloading and installing straight off, should you come across a game which is a zip, let us know and myself, or someone else can explain how to deal with this (which isn't really a harder process, just a different one). Hope you enjoy christmas woopass, and any other games you fancy trying. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: Paulette Vickery paule...@evickery.com To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 5:14 PM Subject: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!

Re: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!
Never open it from the site. Download it to your PC, and run it from there. Opening stuff from a site like that is just asking to get infected with a virus. When downloading, tab through the fields. One of them is save to, and you can use this to see where the file will be saved. If it isn't where you want to save it, up or down arrow to find where you want to save it, then hit enter. Then hit enter on the save button.

The reason Charles and many others spell the word out putting each letter on a separate line is a sighted convention used on many mailing lists to force a sighted reader to scroll down to find the spoiler rather than having it appear on the same screen. We observe this convention here even though with a screen reader its less necessary for us to do so. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!
Hi paulette. If your using window eyes, you probably just need to turn the voice off to prevent speech interupting you in the game. With jaws you need to utterly unload the screen reader and quit the program because of the way jaws handles the keyboard, but for most screen readers it's not necessary, in supernova for example I just hit control 0 to shut the voice off, and sometimes controls 8 to shut the keys off if the game needs some of the same keys supernova uses such as the numberpad (though this isn't always necessary). Perhaps someone who uses window eyes as their main screen reader could give more information on this. Beware the grue!

Hi Paulette. With most games on windows, the process is very easy, and Christmas whoopass is no exception. Just hit the download link (you can use the one on audiogames.net or use the developers' own site, audiogames.net just gives it for convenience), then you will be asked if you want to download the file, and whether you want to run or save it. Generally, you will want to save it, because that file contains the program for the game, so hit save. I personally have a downloads folder where I save anything I download to, but you can save it whereever you wish. then you'll have to wait while it downloads. This won't take long, though can vary according to what type of internet connection you have and how large the file is, but mostly shouldn't take long. when it is downloaded, if it's an .exe file, ie a program that is ready to just install (like christmass whoopass is), just go and find it with windows explorer and hit enter on it. An install program will pop up which will put the game onto your computer. It'll ask you what folder to install the game in (it'll choose C:\program files by default), and where to put shortcuts to start the game, but mostly you can just go through hitting the next button. Once all this is done, you'll find the shortcuts for running the game usually straight in your programs menue, and can read the instructions or run the game straight off. Thsi is also the way you run and install any program from the internet that could be useful to you, so it's good knolidge to have. Of course some games are not install .exe files, adn may come in a zip folder instead, those aren't hard to deal with either though, however I won't clutter this message up with an explanation of that as well when your just trying to get used to downloading and installing straight off, should you come across a game which is a zip, let us know and myself, or someone else can explain how to deal with this (which isn't really a harder process, just a different one).

Re: [Audyssey] swamp problem
Hi, That's the problem. I quit in the safe zone, although I still only had the normal axe/pistol/field kit, but even the field kit/pistol are missing. I only have an axe, and when I press v, it says no information on your current location. -Michael. -Original Message- From: Johnny Tai Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 3:53 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp problem if you didn't quit in the safe zone, or if you died, you lose all your gained items. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!
Hi Paulette No you don't have to exit Window-Eyes, when playing a game, but I suggest you create a set file for the game that silences speech while you are in the game. Otherwise Window-Eyes will usually speak things like space, space, space, etc while playing which can get quite annoying. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] swamp problem
HI, tuesday, April 24th, Aprone posted the following on audiogames.net: The good news is that I've gotten a lot of stuff ready for the next update, but the bad news is that I'm quickly running out of stuff I can do without shutting down the server. I like to keep server shut downs to a minimum so I try to do all I can before finally closing it down. On Thursday I should get the new server I ordered for Swamp. I spent nearly a week planning out how to safely divide the server software between multiple slower computers so that I could finally get it off of my laptop. I had been nervous about making the changes though since it is very complicated and there are about a hundred ways I could screw up and break things. Hatred tracked down a good deal on a server for me that will be able to run everything. While I wasn't too happy to fork over money, I will be very happy to get the server off of my laptop and also avoid trying to split it across multiple computers. Wednesday, he got the new server. He also said that he hopes to import all accounts as they currently are. So when the new system is up, it should be as you were. In the meantime, try to connect. If you cannot, the system is down. Anytime you connect and you don't have any stats, and you press the esc key only to hear connection interrupted, the system is down. come back later. Shermanator - Original Message - From: Michael Taboada ai...@hotmail.com Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 2:40 PM Hi, I tried connecting to swamp, and it went like it did, saying “this day on the server is sponsored by...” but I only have an axe, and all my stats are reset. Anyone have any idea? Also the graphics did not show up. Thanks, -Michael. P.S. My friend also had this problem. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!
Hi Dark, Actually, Jaws doesn't have to be completely unloaded. All someone has to do is put Jaws in sleep mode, or create a configuration file that automatically putsJaws to sleep when the game is loaded. Although, games will run better if Jaws is unloaded. As for Window-Eyes the best way to use Window-Eyes with games is to save a set file with voice set to off. That way when the game is loaded Window-Eyes doesn't go nuts announcing every key press in the game. Of course disabling key echo would work as well. Cheers! On 4/26/2012 4:50 PM, dark wrote: Hi paulette. If your using window eyes, you probably just need to turn the voice off to prevent speech interupting you in the game. With jaws you need to utterly unload the screen reader and quit the program because of the way jaws handles the keyboard, but for most screen readers it's not necessary, in supernova for example I just hit control 0 to shut the voice off, and sometimes controls 8 to shut the keys off if the game needs some of the same keys supernova uses such as the numberpad (though this isn't always necessary). Perhaps someone who uses window eyes as their main screen reader could give more information on this. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] AI, where can i find it?
I must worn people, this game is not very responsive to the voice commands, it's a good idea but think this kind of thing needs more work before it'll be a successful way of playing games.
