[Audyssey] student research list
Hi. This is a multi list multi post message sent to multipul lists. You will be aware that over the last couple days I have been poling the lists, gamers, nvda and a couple others on setting up a student computer for a school or for internal use. It appears that at least on a semi official point I have the profile for the system. To gamers list. same as posted to the list still applies. however all games that use headphones exclusively can't be done as the user will not be getting those. For everyone else, the only stipulation is that ms office be used. I otherwise have a free hand and have control of the system for the setup whenever it happens. this does include putting nvda on it. Thanks for answering my questions, seperate questions will be sent to some of the lists shortly discussing sertain aspects. I know there has been speculation on what this thing is used for or will be used for. I can't tell you much more than I could before except that the unit is an old unit meant to be donated and trialed by students in a sertain ariea to see how they go to the effect that if they handle themselves ok with the device to get funding to go to the next student and so on. No time frame for this has been calculated and no idea on future control but thats the gist of what the project is about. The system was a private system and is for local use right now in the ariea I live in well the citty. I have been intrusted to set the stuff up for the initial control phase, final setup will be done by the admins at the location that it will be finally used at. I assume that continued maintainence will be automated. Or will be maintained by said admins. Not that I won't try to make it as automatic as I can. Thanks again for the assistance. Messages relating to issues will be discussed soon. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Tom. that is true, though myself I wouldn't quite considder castlevania or mega man arcade games, not games with different stages to play and a distinct structure, (indeed only the first mega man game ever had a score system). Rethinking my game perchices now, I probably wouldn't buy troop 2, though i would possibly still buy hunter and pipe 2. i probably also wouldn't buy dyna man and maybe even not alien outback for the same reason, though the amount of sounds and environments in the pinball games from esp would likely make me buy them even now.

[Audyssey] Looking for Game Help
I am looking for a game that I used to play a long time ago that kind of reminds me of Alien Outback. You shoot different space ships that are coming down from the top and each level gets a little harder. Unlike Alien Outback though, there is one level where you have to try to land your ship to get extra points and when you reach the last level in that particular game, you have to fight a mother ship. I can not for the life of me remember what that game was called. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Audyssey] Change Reaction thoughts
Hi all, I bought change reaction and have been playing it quite a bit. Here are my thoughts: Classic: If you've played the windows game before, review the keyboard commands in the instructions and dive right in. It's the exact same game. A few keys have been reassigned, but that's about it. Loose Change: This one's just like classic with one big exception. When a bomb appears, if you do not play the proper coin on it in time, or if you play another coin, the bomb will scatter all the coins in that stack across the top of the other stacks, leaving that one empty. It's a lot of fun and can get really crazy. There's one thing that I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature. For a large portion of the game, more than half, there is a bomb on the screen just about constantly. Payday: This one's quite different. You only have five stacks to work with, and only one coin in each. The objective here is to build up large stacks of coins, then blow them up, while trying *not* to clear the board. If you clear 40 coins in unique positions on the grid, you get two more stacks which each fount double. The idea is that each stack represents a work day and each position in that stack represents an hour in that day. The two stacks you get later are the weekend days. This is probably my favorite mode in the game. Lastly, I did find one bug. It is possible to pause the game during the level introduction announcements. However, when you resume, the timer is set to 0 and the game ends immediately. As to the discussion of a demo version, I think one would be a good idea to allow people who aren't used to this type of game to give it a try. One wayy Draconis could do this is to release a separate light version on the app store, which would be restricted. The second, and I think better, way they could release a demo is to have one app in the store that is available for free, and would only have the demo until the full game is unlocked via an in-app purchase. For anyone who has access to a mac, and found the windows version even mildly interesting, I highly recommend it. If you've never tried the windows version or don't have access to a PC, I recommend Change Reaction if you like games that force you to think strategically under pressure.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Just to add to what Tom has said… Technically, Linux versions might be possible, but the level of work that would need to be put in, on a platform that we have no interest in, would not be offset by the rewards. The number of users of Linux is dwarfed by Mac and Windows users. It is the same sort of situation as Android. We would be looking at a lot of overhead, for very little, if any, gain.

Re: [Audyssey] Looking for Game Help
Hello tony. Actually, troopanum and troopanum 2 are the two space based games in which you have a laser gun and shoot down spaceships attempting to land and destroy your star base. In troopanum 2 there is the lander bonus round, and you are fighting against lord vector, see http://audiogames.net/db.php?id=troopanum2 for full info on troopanum 2. I can see why you assumed troopanum was a military game (I have no idea why it was called troopanum), but I can assure you taht both games are futuristic. I believe the game your talking about where you shoot down hellicopters etc is either enemy attack or judgement daybut that has nothing to do with troopanum.

Re: [Audyssey] Change Reaction thoughts
There are much more frequent bombs in the LooseChange game by design. Thanks for the Pause game bug. We have an update being submitted to Apple today and will try to sneak this fix in before it goes out. I did want to point out that, while the game mechanics of Classic are the same, a lot of the feedback has changed, for anyone interested. We've made the pitch of the coins on the board change to indicate the height of the stacks. There is a horizontal trigger sound to let you know when a horizontal match is available, and the review mode is much faster and more fluid to use effectively than it ever was in the original…among other changes.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Yep. Fitty from what I heard was a spelling mistake somewhere that sort of evolved into a slang term. If you're familiar with the US cartoon King of the Hill, Cotton Hill, the fater of the main character Hank, often uses the term whentalking about his service in the US army. I killed fitty men! So I'm not entirely surprised they'd use Fitty to denote the fifty-cent piece. On 12/13/2012 2:44 AM, dark wrote: Hi tom.

Re: [Audyssey] Change Reaction thoughts
I'm pleased to here of the horizontal and review fixes, sinse that was personally always my issue with the game that I had no way of telling what was on the nearby stacks and thus always seemed to be just chucking one coin at another matching one or finding a place to stick random coins if I couldn't find one. I look forward to the windows version sinse that sounds far more the tetris type game I imagined from the description than just a random action scramble. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: Draconis Entertainment gene...@draconisentertainment.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2012 2:34 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Change Reaction thoughts There are much more frequent bombs in the LooseChange game by design. Thanks for the Pause game bug. We have an update being submitted to Apple today and will try to sneak this fix in before it goes out. I did want to point out that, while the game mechanics of Classic are the same, a lot of the feedback has changed, for anyone interested. We've made the pitch of the coins on the board change to indicate the height of the stacks. There is a horizontal trigger sound to let you know when a horizontal match is available, and the review mode is much faster and more fluid to use effectively than it ever was in the original…among other changes. HTH. On Dec 13, 2012, at 7:56 AM, Karl Belanger karl.belan...@comcast.net wrote: Hi all, I bought change reaction and have been playing it quite a bit. Here are my thoughts: Classic: If you've played the windows game before, review the keyboard commands in the instructions and dive right in. It's the exact same game. A few keys have been reassigned, but that's about it. Loose Change: This one's just like classic with one big exception. When a bomb appears, if you do not play the proper coin on it in time, or if you play another coin, the bomb will scatter all the coins in that stack across the top of the other stacks, leaving that one empty. It's a lot of fun and can get really crazy. There's one thing that I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature. For a large portion of the game, more than half, there is a bomb on the screen just about constantly. Payday: This one's quite different. You only have five stacks to work with, and only one coin in each. The objective here is to build up large stacks of coins, then blow them up, while trying *not* to clear the board. If you clear 40 coins in unique positions on the grid, you get two more stacks which each fount double. The idea is that each stack represents a work day and each position in that stack represents an hour in that day. The two stacks you get later are the weekend days. This is probably my favorite mode in the game. Lastly, I did find one bug. It is possible to pause the game during the level introduction announcements. However, when you resume, the timer is set to 0 and the game ends immediately. As to the discussion of a demo version, I think one would be a good idea to allow people who aren't used to this type of game to give it a try. One wayy Draconis could do this is to release a separate light version on the app store, which would be restricted. The second, and I think better, way they could release a demo is to have one app in the store that is available for free, and would only have the demo until the full game is unlocked via an in-app purchase. For anyone who has access to a mac, and found the windows version even mildly interesting, I highly recommend it. If you've never tried the windows version or don't have access to a PC, I recommend Change Reaction if you like games that force you to think strategically under pressure.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Fair enough charles, but personally for me it is the other way around, i'd be much happier with colours, numbers, place names or something abstract than with some coins that have little meaning to me, (I have no idea what any of those coins even look like and apart from the quarter don't remember their denominations in the game). If colours wouldn't work, then perhaps some other medium, for instance numbering the coin values, or better still having copper, iron, bronze, silver and gold coins, which also preserves the monetary side of the game but is universally available to everyone whatever your nation's coinage and is a little more interesting than just playing by numbers.
