Re: [Audyssey] Games on a laptop.
Hi Thomas, The problem that I would have with you redistributing my games with the Inno Setup is, when people called or wrote asking questions, and I would not be able to answer. That would not be good.

[Audyssey] Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions
Well, this morning I just got a free play with an Iphone 5 running voice over. On a basic level I was impressed. Some of the gestures I found more difficult than others, for instance the three finger swipes I didn't quite get the kknack of, but others were quite natural and I suspect I'd get more used to it in time. The functions of the phone seemed fairly doable too, indeed for kicks I tried searching the ap store for king of dragon pass, managed to find it and read the game details, (I didn't play it because obviously the chap who's phone I was examining didn't necessarily want the game), though sinse it's games and gamebooks I'm mostly interested in on the Iphone, I was pleased that was doable. the internet I found a little more problematic, I tried searching for audiogames.net, and had a bit of trouble navigating google correctly. I also got a play with seri which seems a usefull system, though I was disappointed when i was testing it's speech recognition that though it did! know the word dalek, it didn't recognize cyberman and read it as spiderman! :D. I also asked about commands to flick voice over on and off, lock the phone for making phone calls etc, and all of that seemed doable. The only thing I didn't like the sound of is the fact that I can't just copy my music and audio books onto the phone, sinse one reason I wanted one was to serve as an effective music and audio player, but apparently apple objects to this so it requires silly itunes, which i'm obviously going to have to investigate. That is the one downer I found, indeed I might considder just buying an mp3 player separately to do that job if Itunes isn't going to behave. Voice over did look fun though, and I'd actually love to see some audio games that make full use of screen position in this way, for instance I can imagine playing a stratogy battle game could be far easier with a touch screen sinse you could get physical positional information about the various units relative locations and the map, similarly to reading soemthing in braille but with the information being conveyed by audio. I'm now of course going to have to check out A, Itunes, and B, pricing, sinse an Iphone 5 would be very expensive in the region of about 500 quid apparently, and I'll C, check whether my current phone contract supports the Iphone and has enough internet to make things work, (thus far I've not used net so haven't got a very net heavy mobile phone contract, though it is a cheap one and comes with a lot of free minutes). it does however look like a workable solution and a lot of fun, indeed sinse if everything goes as planned next year I should be studdying voice in Bermingham conservatoire, I would be doing a lot of commuting on trains, and it'd be usefull to have something small and portable. Previously I've used my laptop, but the battery here is pretty dead, and i would! like to try a lot of the iphone games, and more especially gamebooks. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions
Hi Dark, Yep, £529 for the 16gb iPhone 5 on these here shores if you buy without a contract... ouch. Something that's worth keeping in mind is that iTunes 11 drops sometime soon, later this month if my memory serves, and there's been quite a big interface overhaul. The new UI seems less cluttered visually, though of course it remains to be seen whether the simplified workflow will also be an improvement for keyboard and screen reader users. Just thought it was worth mentioning, as depending on how fast you move to investigate the dreaded iTunes, you might have to do it twice lol.

Re: [Audyssey] Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions
Hi scot. that is good to know, thanks. At least I should get any itunes related updates with supernova sinse I now have version 13, though supernova doesn't tend to change too much based on it's scripts the way say jaws does. The itunes thing is just a thought, but it's the one thing that slightly puts me off running out and buying a phone, sinse I did! want it for listening to the music and audio books I have on my pc. As to the price, well though it's a lot well I don't mind paying that sort of cash if I get several years use out of the thing, plus, the chap who's phone I examined paid ^£30 for the handset and then was on a £40 a month contract for two years, which worked out more expensive (my currentphone contract is £10 a month). My original laptop that I got in 2000 cost around £700 (yes, they were that expensive back then!), but it served me extremely well for the next five years, being used literally on a dayly basis, so I'm pretty happy that I got my money's worth. My second laptop that I got in 2005 cost around £350, but once again, it was completely used until 2010. indeed, it's still in full working order accept for the headphone socket (it's really irritating they can't be replaced). So I don't mind paying for something as long as it's something I use a lot, and it sounds like that with the Iphone, indeed my brother paid that for his and has used it extremely frequently for the last three years.

Re: [Audyssey] Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions
I've personally had very little trouble with ITnes. Then again I use Window-Eyes, which is actually the screen reader Apple seems to recommend for the Windows version of ITunes. But I'm able to sync my IPod Touch and IPhone quite easily with ITunes since at least to a certain degree you do actually have conrol over what you put on your device. I can tell ITunes to put all Audiobooks on the IPod Touch but not on the IPhone itself. The only problem is that if I have Apps in m ITunes library that I want on the IPhone but not on the IPod Touch I have to actually delete them from ITunes before the next time I sync the IPod. ther than that though I find ITunes to work fairly reliably.

[Audyssey] iPhone Audio Games Extant question (was: Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions)
Hi Dark, Audyssey Thanks for your interesting review! Much appreciated. Sander and I are thinking of developing an iPhone version of Extant for some time now. Actually, we already got it running for a year on iPhone/iPad but since Extant is not much more than a tech demo without real gameplay, we did not yet persue this project. Our questions are these - for you, Dark, but also the Audyssey community... - would you be interested in an iPhone version of Extant (and then a full version game, not just the tech demo)? - would you be interested in audio games for (mobile) iOs (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad) devices? - would you be interested in audio games for (mobile) Android (for example Samsung Note, Galaxy) devices? - how many of you play the adio games that are currently in Apple's AppStore - and what do you think of these? Thanks for your input. If there's enough interest we might want to make Extant (or another audio game) one of our next projects! Oh, and if you really want a full game version of Extant on PC or Mac, please let us know too :-) And if you don't know what Extant is, check this out: http://audiogames.net/db.php?id=Extant Greets, Richard http://audiogames.net http://creativehero.es On 10-10-2012 13:33, dark wrote: Well, this morning I just got a free play with an Iphone 5 running voice over.

Re: [Audyssey] iPhone Audio Games Extant question (was: Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions)
Hi Richard, One big yes please sir for anything audio game related that'd be playable in iOS. I've played through pretty much every title from the App Store that's been mentioned here and on AppleVis. There's been some great sound design, but nothing particularly challenging yet, nor much in the way of replayability. I guess this is because the majority of developers thus far have been pushing their apps as being something different for sighted players. Nothing wrong with that of course, I'm glad people are hitting on the idea and I know a couple of sighted people who loved Papa Sangre, but as someone who's already used to an audio environment, the gameplay hasn't yet been challenging enough to keep me interested.

[Audyssey] Extant was: iPhone Audio Games Extant question (was: Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions)
Hi Richard. As I said I was! primarily interested in the Iphone for audio games like pappasanga and also gamebooks, so yes I'd be interested in games for that platform. I also have no plans to get an android or other portable device so wouldn't. With extant though, I think I'd most like to see a fully completed game with missions, different enemies and weapons and a good story even if just for windows before I'd worry about cross platform stuff, - unless of course you were thinking in terms of developing the Iphone version at the same time you develope the full game. As I believe I have said back when I first played the extant tech demo, I really like the concept, the game, the sounds and the atmosphere, I'd just like to see more of it. so if it was a choice of projects I'd go for expanding the windows version first, though if on the other hand your thinking about developing a full cross platform game from scratch fair enough.

Re: [Audyssey] Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions
If you add the folder the books are in to the ITunes library ITunes will prompt you to convert those files to the ITunes format. Don't worry though, they'll still play just fine on your computer and not just in ITunes. Anyway say yes to the convertion. THe next time you sync your device with ITunes the books should be copied to it. Granted doing it manually this way can sometimes cause weird problems where a book gets copied to the IPod but it's listed as unknown. However if you have, say a book on CD, and ou rip it directly into ITunes itself that will not happen. The only downside is that you do have to rip each disc individually and then have to play it individually as well. If there's a more convenient way to do this I don't know. But I too would be interested in more accessible IOS games.

Re: [Audyssey] Zombies run iphone game
Yes. You can hold your phone in your hand, clip it to a belt, put in your pocket, or in your bra if you're a female. You just need to turn off the location tracking and you'll be good to go. You won't be able to do zombie chases but everything else will work fine.

Re: [Audyssey] Just tried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions
yeah clement I use itunes and for the most part nvda does read it. However there are many inaccessable buttons mostly having to do with the updating of applications, genius, home sharing and the like I could really do without. Itunes depending on pc config can be a monster to load. Aparently on older non touch ipods you can copy directly to them ofcause these would be the basic non advanced models.

Re: [Audyssey] Zombies run iphone game
Hi. Zombies will still approach you during the clips in between songs. The zombie chases occur when you're tracking is on. If you don't speed up for at least a minute, the zombies might catch you and then you have to drop some of your supplies to distract them. The game is exciting even without the extra chases.

[Audyssey] sorting out the available iPhone games?
hello all, after hearing that there are some accessible iPhone games listed on the audiogames site, I was wondering if there is a way to just get the iPhone games to show in a search, rather than having to go through all the games listed for all other platforms as well? as it would make things a lot easier, but I can't seem to find such an option.

Re: [Audyssey] Zombies run iphone game
Hi Dark, Using the version that came out a few months ago, you actually can participate in zombie chases using the accelerometer. You specify where you will be carrying the phone--pocket, hand, arm band--and tell it you want zombie chases on. I have outrun zombies on my treadmill several times, though I'm sure it's always more fun out in the open. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 5:10 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Zombies run iphone game Hmm christina, I'm stil not sure, sinse I was rather looking forward to outrunning zombies while running, and it would be quite irritating if there were bits of the game that were utterly unplayable because of lack of enough vision to engage in cross country running in large open areas, or at least any areas near me I could trust myself to run in without hitting a wall!

Re: [Audyssey] sorting out the available iPhone games?
Hi. I'm afraid we don't have many audio games for the Iphone on audiogames.net yet, just stem stumper, papasanga, the nightjar and king of Dragon pass, but hopefully if I get an Iphone this wil change, or if arqmeister one of our newer db editers could add some in. You can't unfortunately search by platform at the moment, simply because platforms of games can vary in the index from dreamcast, to online brouser based, to mud or even specific if languages like zcode or glulx for some games. Phil's list of Iphone games over at pcsgames.net is the place to look, though as I said this will hopefully change in the future. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Question about formats on Baf's Guide to the IF Archive
Hi kieth. that is a question with a complicated answer. the bad news is that the only way to play them is with an aple Ii emulator, and those don't output screen readable text. the good news however is that Eamon deluxe is currently in developement, which is an eamon upgrade that will run on windows xp and is intended to run all the classic eamon adventures. It even has a screen reader friendly format that redoes the menues in a way that is readable with a virtual curser. Eamon deluxe 5.0 is currently in developement and is being beta tested by myself and several others. some stand alone Eamon deluxe adventures can be found on http://www.eamonag.org/pages/eamondx.htm If however you'd like a copy of the beta, send an E-mail to eamondel...@gmail.com I'd highly recommend eamon. it was a text adventure rpg system. it has a simple parza but one which can still create puzzles without! uess the verb or other horribleness, it has combat, companions and other fun stuff, and adventures range from simple 10 minute dungeon hacks to full on epic quests that take hours to finish. Writing of course varies with the author, though some I've played have been fantastically wr written. Best of all in my book is the fact that you can go through multipel adventures with the same character, gaining treasure, then coming back to the guild of free adventurers after each outing to put your money in the bank or even spend it on better weapons or improving your stats. There are even people still writing adventures for Eammon deluxe today, with three new ones produced this year, plus, frank black the developer as he converts classic apple adventures to eamon deluxe is making several improvements and changes along the way as well. I'd certainly recommend it if you like rpgs. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] iPhone Audio Games Extant question (was: Justtried an Iphone, my thoughts and questions)
thanks, this was very useful, I alone found 5 new games of interest to me. I thought you may also like to know, as you have it listed, that the steve jackson's sorcery one seems to have been withdrawn at the moment, as it is being re-vamped by a new developer. I found this out when, after a few times of not being able to find it in the app store, then trying via iTunes, and it seeming to not be available in any app store, not just the UK one, I contacted the fightingfantasy.com site, which still had it as available, and got the following reply: Hello, You may not be aware that the original Sorcery! app is no longer available, however it has changed hands and will be available from Inkle http://www.inklestudios.com/sorcery on iOS next year. The Warlock Webmaster: www.fightingfantasy.com www.fightingfantasycollector.co.uk Twitter: @fightingfantasy Facebook: Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Fighting Fantasy is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year by releasing a new gamebook by Ian Livingstone - Blood of the Zombies. I included the developer site, because as I said to applevis when I also told them, may be now would be a good time to contact them, whilst the app is still being done, to hopefully insure that it at least stays as accessible as the old one, or better still, that it is more accessible. strike whilst the iron's hot, as it were.
