Hi Desiree,

I have wanted to make Candy Land.  I just do not remember the board or exactly 
how the game goes like I did with Master Mind, Chutes and Ladders, Skunk, 
Yahtzee etc.  I did have Life and Monopoly when I became totally blind.  A 
couple read me the squares on the board, the cards etc so that I could write 
the games and I gave the games to them for their kids.  Guess I should buy 
Candy Land and write the game.

Working on another adult game right now though.

Hey, I just purchased Super Egg Hunt Plus.

I also like the whole concept of having both the original and remake of 
Egg Hunt on the game.

Re: [Audyssey] blindgameware

2012-09-07 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Dark,

Interesting. I just finished reading the web page you linked to below
and besides a very informative read I now understand why when
Scholastic reprinted the Harry Potter books for the U.S. market they
performed extensive rewriting of the actual text. While the British
and Americans might both speak English the fact of the matter is there
is far more differences between Britain and America than just
language. There are plenty of social and cultural issues to consider
here.

While most Americans probably wouldn't have a problem of using post
instead of mail there are British terms that would be slightly
offensive to Americans. Off the top of my head I'll take the issue of
using the toilet. Where I live we tend to indirectly say what we mean
by saying we have to go to the bathroom, we want to use the restroom,
or as my Grandma would say the lady's room. If someone were more
direct and saying they have to use the toilet many would find that a
bit crude and uncouth. My grandma would no sooner have said use the
toilet than she would have said she needed to take a crap or pee
because it would have been too direct and uncouth. Of course, this is
changing as younger Americans feel more comfortable of saying what
they mean.

That said, I found it interesting that the article you posted states
that in Britain they don't have the fundamentalist Christian groups
like we have in the U.S. The author went as far to say that most
British people would feel more comfortable about talking about their
sex life than their religion. I found it a bit funny he stated most
British people find our brand of fundamentalist  Christianity
insincere or down right nuts. Here in the U.S. that's totally the
opposite in places like the Bible Belt and running into someone with a
fundamentalist point of view is pretty common. I should know since I'm
married to one. :D

Anyway, getting back to the topic at hand, I do see the problem here
of Candy Land Vs. something else. To begin with a Gingerbread Cookie
in the U.S. is a small crunchy cookie in the shape of a gingerbread
man. What you chaps would call a biscuit.  From what I've managed to
read is that Candy Canes simply do not exist in Britain and seems to
be an American sweet. A Sour Patch is a round gummy sweet that is very
sweet and very sour at the same time. They tend to be very sticky when
you lick them so I guess that's why landing on one causes you to lose
a turn in the game.

Bottom line, I think what we'd have to do if we created a Candy Land
game is have a custom version for the U.K. From what I gather your
concepts of sweets is fairly different from ours with sweets we don't
have here, and sweets we have here aren't popular over there. Its no
wonder certain things like Candy Cane Forests don't make sense to you
because you don't have them.

Then again, there are a lot of things about British lifestyle and
American life style that are so different its like stepping into the
Twilight Zone or something. I remember reading about British
chocolate, how its made, and it sounds completely disgusting to me. Of
course, I've never tried it so can't comment from experience, but its
definitely different from what I'd be use to as an American.

Same goes for the British concept of hot chocolate. The author who
wrote that article you sent stated that most British people don't
drink hot chocolate with marshmallows in it. To be honest I find that
hard to believe because almost every American I know would kill you if
you left the marshmallows  out of their hot chocolate. Its as though
we aren't living in too separate countries but on two different
planets in cases like that. Lol!

Cheers!

 Well, I'm not sure if the exact game was ever markited over here under that

 For example, me being an avid Thomas the tank engine enthusiast, my mum

 several spaces or going backwards, but with stations on the board instead of

 locations like the candy forest etc, and the game's objective was to reach
 the engine shed in the middle of the board.

 The unique rule however that I think was specific to that game was
 occasionally you'd pick up a card saying all change and get to pick a
 player to swap positions with on the board.

 As regards the hole candy thing, well it depends upon the type really. I
 have no idea for instance what sour patches are,  unless they're what in

 England are called wine gums or jellies. Gingerbread is very common over
 here though and nearly all bakers sell it, but usually in the form of ginger

 mostly to anything like shortbread, gingerbread, rich tea, digestives etc,

Re: [Audyssey] Looking for textadventures for beginners

2012-09-07 Thread Thomas Ward
hi Dark,

Yes, I see that. I've been doing some reading of Spanish history and
while I knew who Isabella and Philip were I really had no idea of the
history leading up to the exploration of the Americas. I didn't know,
for example, that Philip and Isabella married to unite the two most
powerful Catholic kingdoms in order to unite Spain under one crown and
that the Muslims were finally defeated in 1492. Of course, that was
the same year Columbus set sail.  I had no idea how much power and
influence Spain had in Europe during the 1500's because all American
history teachers wanted to discuss is what was happening in the
western hemisphere. Now, I'm happily filling in the gaps in my
knowledge and realizing exactly how little detail was spent on the big
picture so to speak.

For example, if we talk about the U.S. War of 1812 that's all American
history will talk about. They totally ignore the fact that one reason
Britain didn't send all the red coats in to smash us flat is they were
primarily involved in the Napoleonic Wars. Britain was fighting two
wars at the same time, and we were the lesser of two evils. That
naturally worked to our advantage because while Britain was
concentrating on the French we were free to give you a thrashing in
our own backyard. As poorly as the war started off we almost got
smashed flat anyway and the history books like to ignore those facts.

Same goes for Spain in the 1400's and 1500's. American historians seem
not to care why the Spanish were conquering Central and South America
but merely the fact that they did so. Its appalling.

Cheers!

 closest I've been to studdying formal American history. Although when i

Hi Keith,

True. However, as someone who considers himself a historian without a
specific agenda I find the fact that the way certain historians keep
records is appalling because they like to leave out facts that they'd
rather people not to remember or twist the facts to sound better than
they were.

Re: [Audyssey] blindgameware

2012-09-07 Thread dark

Hi Tom.

interesting, I actually didn't know in America use the toilet would be 
considdered a vulgar expression. There are of course less polite ways of 
referring to the toilet, such as the bog, the crapper, the shithole, or in 
scotland the cludgy, but there is nothing at all wrong with toilet at all, 
and if you did! refer to it as say the lady's or the gents (short for 
gentlemen's sinse the term mens room never existed here either), most people 
would assume you were being overly dainty or trying to be specifically upper 
class.


Interestingly enough though, even in the British editions of harry potter, 
Jk rowling still occasionally refers to the bathroom though she also uses 
loo or toilet as well. I'm not sure if this was either a picked up 
Americanism on her part, or because like a lot of large institutions she 
imagined hogwarts having combined toilet and bathroom facilities, though she 
never mentions there being a bath in moaning murtle's toilet or there being 
a toilet in the prefect's bathroom so on this I'm not sure.


As to the hole subject of sweets, I've seen! candy canes in American 
programs, but what they taste like or are composed of I have no idea.


I suspect we do have soemthing similar to the sour patches you mention, 
sinse we do have a lot of what we'd call jellies, such as wine gums, harribo 
etc, some of which can be pretty sour and chewy, though they wouldn't really 
be distinguished with a universal name like sour patches.


Chocolate I can give you a hole discourse on sinse like coffee it's 
something I''m a little serious about. I have no idea what Us chocolate is 
like at all or what the differences are precisely, but I do know a lot of Uk 
chocolate has far too little coco, --- especially those manufactured mars, 
neslay, which is precisely why I myself only tend to buy chocolate that has 
a whacking great coco percentage and is usually german or swiss and bought 
from specialist shops.


I do know a lot of things in the Us contain a lot more corn syrup, including 
things like bread and tomatoe ketchup, which thus makes them often taste 
quite sweet to people who are used to the British versions,  indeed a 
friend of mine who frequently goes to the states for his job says this 
drives him absolutely up the wall, buying a savory sandwich and finding it 
tastes to him like it's been made with slices of cake rather than bread.


As to religion, well over here fundamentalism is much more the exception 
than the rule and you would be thought of as rather nuts if you had such 
beliefs, and probably avoided.


When I was attending church each week, the idea of the vicar shouting at the 
congrigation, going on a wrant about hell and demons or anything like that 
would be quite unthinkable, indeed outside of bible readings I only ever 
remember hell being mentioned as separation from god, or as a state of 
mind, and demons never mentioned at all.


likewise, the idea of someone actually condemning! others in a religious 
service,  though it might happen with some fundamentalist fringe groups 
would be very much frowned upon over here.


i think the statement about people not talking about religion is slightly 
incorrect, or may be on the part of bias from the author, though then again 
as a philosophy student I tend to find I get into discussions with people 
about religion anyway. I will say though that it's far less likely in such 
discussions to run into someone who won't be to a degree accepting, though 
of course it does happen.


Just as in many parts of the world the British are thought of as up tite, 
obsessed with tradition and incapable of showing emotion, over here a common 
sterriotype about americans is that Americans are loud, over emotional and 
do things to excess.


of course, this is a sterriotype and so not true of any individual american, 
but just like some other sterriotypical beliefs about nations, for instance 
that germans are very good at organizing or that Japanese are very polite, 
there may be a grane of truth in such beliefs as they apply to the over all 
spirit of a culture, just as it is true that displays of emotion, or indeed 
affection are still slightly discouraged in Britain, indeed when I studdied 
sartre's theory of emotions which stated that inner states of emotions were 
entirely characterized and subordinated to the outward actions of the body, 
and of society's interactions with the body, the lecturer noted that Sartre 
was of course french, where emotions were much more physically expressed, 
and the idea of someone say feeling intensive joy or disgust but not 
reacting physically would not be one that would occur to Sartre.


Before however this gets too far into a social and existential analysis I'd 
better stop as that deffinately! goes beyond the bounds of what should be on 
the list, indeed perhaps we should discuss this privately off list.

although I it is slightly different from the one I had as a kid. Its a
newer board, but the game play is the same. If there is anything you
need to know I could help out without you having to buy the game.

Hi Desiree,

I have wanted to make Candy Land.  I just do not remember the board or
exactly how the game goes like I did with Master Mind, Chutes and 
Ladders,

Skunk, Yahtzee etc.  I did have Life and Monopoly when I became totally
blind.  A couple read me the squares on the board, the cards etc so that 
I
could write the games and I gave the games to them for their kids.  Guess 
I

should buy Candy Land and write the game.

Working on another adult game right now though.

Brilliant dennis, I'm glad to here your actually building this and I very 
much look forward to playing it.


As I believe I said at the time, space muds without pvp and with actual 
exploring seem to not exist at all, so I'd love to see if you can change the 
situation.

Hi Tom.

interesting, I actually didn't know in America use the toilet would be
considdered a vulgar expression. There are of course less polite ways of
referring to the toilet, such as the bog, the crapper, the shithole, or in
scotland the cludgy, but there is nothing at all wrong with toilet at all,
and if you did! refer to it as say the lady's or the gents (short for
gentlemen's sinse the term mens room never existed here either), most people
would assume you were being overly dainty or trying to be specifically upper
class.

Interestingly enough though, even in the British editions of harry potter,
Jk rowling still occasionally refers to the bathroom though she also uses
loo or toilet as well. I'm not sure if this was either a picked up
Americanism on her part, or because like a lot of large institutions she
imagined hogwarts having combined toilet and bathroom facilities, though she
never mentions there being a bath in moaning murtle's toilet or there being
a toilet in the prefect's bathroom so on this I'm not sure.

As to the hole subject of sweets, I've seen! candy canes in American
programs, but what they taste like or are composed of I have no idea.

I suspect we do have soemthing similar to the sour patches you mention,
sinse we do have a lot of what we'd call jellies, such as wine gums, harribo
etc, some of which can be pretty sour and chewy, though they wouldn't really
be distinguished with a universal name like sour patches.

Chocolate I can give you a hole discourse on sinse like coffee it's
something I''m a little serious about. I have no idea what Us chocolate is
like at all or what the differences are precisely, but I do know a lot of Uk
chocolate has far too little coco, --- especially those manufactured mars,
neslay, which is precisely why I myself only tend to buy chocolate that has
a whacking great coco percentage and is usually german or swiss and bought
from specialist shops.

I do know a lot of things in the Us contain a lot more corn syrup, including
things like bread and tomatoe ketchup, which thus makes them often taste
quite sweet to people who are used to the British versions,  indeed a
friend of mine who frequently goes to the states for his job says this
drives him absolutely up the wall, buying a savory sandwich and finding it
tastes to him like it's been made with slices of cake rather than bread.

As to religion, well over here fundamentalism is much more the exception
than the rule and you would be thought of as rather nuts if you had such
beliefs, and probably avoided.

When I was attending church each week, the idea of the vicar shouting at the
congrigation, going on a wrant about hell and demons or anything like that
would be quite unthinkable, indeed outside of bible readings I only ever
remember hell being mentioned as separation from god, or as a state of
mind, and demons never mentioned at all.

likewise, the idea of someone actually condemning! others in a religious
service,  though it might happen with some fundamentalist fringe groups
would be very much frowned upon over here.

i think the statement about people not talking about religion is slightly
incorrect, or may be on the part of bias from the author, though then again
as a philosophy student I tend to find I get into discussions with people
about religion anyway. I will say though that it's far less likely in such
discussions to run into someone who won't be to a degree accepting, though
of course it does happen.

Just as in many parts of the world the British are thought of as up tite,
obsessed with tradition and incapable of showing emotion, over here a common
sterriotype about americans is that Americans are loud, over emotional and
do things to excess.

of course, this is a sterriotype and so not true of any individual american,
but just like some other sterriotypical beliefs about nations, for instance
that germans are very good at organizing or that Japanese are very polite,
there may be a grane of truth in such beliefs as they apply to the over all
spirit of a culture, just as it is true that displays of emotion, or indeed
affection are still slightly discouraged in Britain, indeed when I studdied
sartre's theory of emotions which stated that inner states of emotions were
entirely characterized and subordinated to the outward actions of the body,
and of society's interactions with the body, the lecturer noted that Sartre
was of course french, where emotions were much more physically expressed,
and the idea of someone say feeling intensive joy or disgust but not
reacting physically would not be one that would occur to Sartre.

Re: [Audyssey] blindgameware

Hi Dark,

Well, as for Candy Canes they are basically long sticks of peppermint
candy made into the shape of a walking cane or a capital J if you
prefer. As I understand it the guy who originally created this sweet
was a Christian and he wanted to make a Christmas Candy for children
that reminded them of the meaning of Christmas. So he took peppermint
candy molded it into the shape of a capital J and added white and red
stripes. The white stood for purity and the red stripes stood for the
blood of Jesus. Initially they didn't take off in America, but some
candy company  decided to buy the idea and renamed them Candy Canes.
that's why every Christmas Santa Claus hands them out to children
although the religious intent or meaning of the candy has long been
lost on most Americans. They just associate Candy Canes with Santa. :D

The lack of cocoa is exactly what I meant about British chocolate
sounding awful. Most American chocolates have a high amount of cocoa
in them. A lot of them are based more or less on Swiss chocolates and
like pretty much everything else when people from Europe immigrated to
the U.S. they brought their recipes and favorite foods  with them.
Certain groups such as the Amish actually still make cheese,
chocolates, and other foods just like they did a hundred years ago
which preserves the flavor and taste. Its for that reason I love to
buy chocolates from the Amish because they tend to be richer and have
a higher cocoa content then the name brand chocolates.

Anyway, if you wish to discuss anything regarding social differences
etc we definitely should take it off list. This is drifting way off
topic, and as much as I'd love a public debate on this Auddyssey just
isn't that kind of forum.

Cheers!

Hi Dark,

Well, in Candy Land there really aren't that many squares besides the
Molasses Pits and/or Sticky Patches that have any real functionality
in the game. The Candy Cane Forest, for example, is just a place in
Candy Land that you can move forward or backward to when that card is
drawn. Same for the Gingerbread House and the lollipops. They are more
or less background scenery and have no real functionality as far as
game mechanics goes. Of course, if you are one or two squares away
from the Candy Castle, at the end of the board, and get a Gingerbread
House card that can set you back clear to the beginning of the board
where the Gingerbread House is. Grr.

Cheers!

isn't entirely free, it requires a small subscription if you want access to

[Audyssey] Jim Kitchen's football error help

2012-09-07 Thread Sharon
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is having a runtime error when they play Jim
Kitchen's football? When I start the game I can get as far as the kickoff of
the ball to start the game, but then I get a runtime error '13' type
mismatch. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? I am running windows
7 64 bit.

Thanks for any help.

you were being overly dainty or trying to be specifically upper class.


Interestingly enough though, even in the British editions of harry

either a picked up Americanism on her part, or because like a lot of 
large institutions she imagined hogwarts having combined toilet and 
bathroom facilities, though she never mentions there being a bath in 
moaning murtle's toilet or there being a toilet in the prefect's 
bathroom so on this I'm not sure.


As to the hole subject of sweets, I've seen! candy canes in American 
programs, but what they taste like or are composed of I have no idea.


I suspect we do have soemthing similar to the sour patches you 
mention, sinse we do have a lot of what we'd call jellies, such as 
wine gums, harribo etc, some of which can be pretty sour and chewy, 
though they wouldn't really be distinguished with a universal name 
like sour patches.


Chocolate I can give you a hole discourse on sinse like coffee it's 
something I''m a little serious about. I have no idea what Us 
chocolate is like at all or what the differences are precisely, but 
I do know a lot of Uk chocolate has far too little coco, --- 
especially those manufactured mars, neslay, which is precisely why I 
myself only tend to buy chocolate that has a whacking great coco 
percentage and is usually german or swiss and bought from specialist shops.


I do know a lot of things in the Us contain a lot more corn syrup, 
including things like bread and tomatoe ketchup, which thus makes 
them often taste quite sweet to people who are used to the British 
versions,  indeed a friend of mine who frequently goes to the 
states for his job says this drives him absolutely up the wall, 
buying a savory sandwich and finding it tastes to him like it's been 
made with slices of cake rather than bread.


As to religion, well over here fundamentalism is much more the

if you had such beliefs, and probably avoided.


When I was attending church each week, the idea of the vicar 
shouting at the congrigation, going on a wrant about hell and demons 
or anything like that would be quite unthinkable, indeed outside of 
bible readings I only ever remember hell being mentioned as 
separation from god, or as a state of mind, and demons never mentioned at all.


likewise, the idea of someone actually condemning! others in a 
religious service,  though it might happen with some 
fundamentalist fringe groups would be very much frowned upon over here.


i think the statement about people not talking about religion is 
slightly incorrect, or may be on the part of bias from the author, 
though then again as a philosophy student I tend to find I get into 
discussions with people about religion anyway. I will say though 
that it's far less likely in such discussions to run into someone 
who won't be to a degree accepting, though of course it does happen.


Just as in many parts of the world the British are thought of as up 
tite, obsessed with tradition and incapable of showing emotion, over 
here a common sterriotype about americans is that Americans are 
loud, over emotional and do things to excess.


of course, this is a sterriotype and so not true of any individual 
american, but just like some other sterriotypical beliefs about 
nations, for instance that germans are very good at organizing or 
that Japanese are very polite, there may be a grane of truth in such 
beliefs as they apply to the over all spirit of a culture, just as 
it is true that displays of emotion, or indeed affection are still 
slightly discouraged in Britain, indeed when I studdied sartre's 
theory of emotions which stated that inner states of emotions were 
entirely characterized and subordinated to the outward actions of 
the body, and of society's interactions with the body, the lecturer 
noted that Sartre was of course french, where emotions were much 
more physically expressed, and the idea of someone say feeling 
intensive joy or disgust but not reacting physically would not be 
one that would occur to Sartre.


Before however this gets too far into a social and existential

Fair enough. If the squares you mention are the only ones in the game, then 
only some would need changing sinse we have gingerbread and lolly pops over

Hi Dark,

Well, in Candy Land there really aren't that many squares besides the
Molasses Pits and/or Sticky Patches that have any real functionality
in the game. The Candy Cane Forest, for example, is just a place in
Candy Land that you can move forward or backward to when that card is
drawn. Same for the Gingerbread House and the lollipops. They are more
or less background scenery and have no real functionality as far as
game mechanics goes. Of course, if you are one or two squares away
from the Candy Castle, at the end of the board, and get a Gingerbread
House card that can set you back clear to the beginning of the board
where the Gingerbread House is. Grr.

Cheers!

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is having a runtime error when they play Jim
Kitchen's football? When I start the game I can get as far as the kickoff of
the ball to start the game, but then I get a runtime error '13' type
mismatch. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? I am running windows
7 64 bit.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Sharon,

If memory serves me correctly that particular error has to do with
improperly entering  the coach's name when prompted. Although, Jim
kitchen would have a better handle on this particular issue. I've
never experienced it myself on any computer running Windows 7 but I
know others on this list have.

Cheers!

he has xbox 360 with the kinect and standard controlers.
I don't think he has any actual instrument games though he has

Hi Dark,

Right. All of that is pretty flexible as far as I am concerned. If I
wanted to make an exact copy of the game I certainly can but I see no
problem with making custom boards to suit other nationalities given
there are so many different candies or sweets out there. That said,
the game is so basic I could create any number of simple board games
using the same mechanics and game play.

For example, imagine taking the classic Candy Land and giving it a
Halloween type theme. Instead of the Candy Cane Forest you might have
the Haunted Forest. Instead of a Gingerbread House we could have the
Zombie Graveyard. Instead of a Sticky Patch we could have a Pumkin
Patch. Instead of the Candy Castle we have Dracula's Castle.
Basically, instead of Candy Land we get something like Monster Land.
Lol!

Cheers!

 Fair enough. If the squares you mention are the only ones in the game, then

 only some would need changing sinse we have gingerbread and lolly pops over

 here too, --- -though here molasus is purely a cooking ingredient and not
 really something that would be considdered as generally a sweet for
 children, though some sweets may contain it, like honey.

Hi Dark,

Well, in this case hard candy is just that. Things like Jolly
Ranchers, Jaw Breakers, some lollipops, and so on are a very hard
candy that could break a tooth if you bite them. You suck them until
they are soft and then eat them or just suck them until they
completely melt in your mouth. So by hard candy they really mean hard
candy. :D

Soft candy are things like gummy worms, gummy bears, sour patches, and
star burst which are very soft and chewy.

Interesting enough though there are some candies like Lifesavers that
come in a hard candy form or as soft candy. The soft Lifesavers are
called Gummy Savers and, I personally think they taste better than the
original hard candy Lifesavers. Just thinking of Lifesavers makes me
want to go out an buy a couple of packs of mixed berry or wild berry
savers. Lol!

 Hmmm, your statement a hard candy is one I'm a little confused by

Hi Dean,

Strange. I'm running Jim's NFL on a Toshiba with Windows 7 64-bit and
have never experienced that bug. I wonder if a file must have gotten
misplaced or something as I can confirm that shouldn't be happening on
a Windows 7 machine. I wonder if we can figure out how many people are
having this problem and then can compare notes?

Hi Tom.

that is an interesting idea, indeed while the game candy land as I said 
doesn't exist over here as far as I know, there are plenty of similar ones.


I mentioned the thomas the tank engine themed game I used to have when i was 
little. I've also seen and played a game based on Charley and the chocolate 
factory (the book, rather than the tim berton film).


This used dice rather than cards, but had the same basic snakes and ladders 
type of theme, ie, get to the end as soon as possible. what was fun that 
instead of ladders you got things like helped out Mr. wonker or you drink 
fizzy lifting drinks and puff up to a new stage and instead of snakes you 
got you tried to drink from the chocolate river and were sucked down a 
pipe just like augustus gloop in the book or film.


Beware the grue!

Dark.
