Re: [Audyssey] The Future of the Evolution Engine
Hi Tom, I have been looking forward to your game engine since I first heard mention of it. For me at least, this is a no-brainer since even though I would have to learn a new language, it would at least be based on something I know--basic. It definitely seems the best way, especially when you talk about the compatibility problems between the Python versions. One of the most important aspects of game design for me is 3d audio. I'm not sure how well Python could handle calculations of that complexity or if something like OpenAl could be used with Python. Also, I was pointed at a new ide for programming in .net called SharpDevelop. My friend, Louis Bryant, recommended it to me and though I don't even know where to begin with .net I know that he is quite experienced with it and doesn't have any of the problems with it that others have with the official Microsoft ide. I have a lot of time on my hands these next four months--so maybe it's just time to look into learning .net. Check out my games at www.ThePionEar.net and my music, and that of my band, at www.ThePionEar.net/BlindLabyrinth.html . If you want to reach me, you can call 419-744-0517, friend me on Facebook, (KenWDowney,) or write me at kenwdow...@me.com . Crazy Ken - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 7:36 PM Subject: [Audyssey] The Future of the Evolution Engine Hello everyone, I guess this survey would mainly be for those game developers who would like a say in the end product , but if this subject is of interest to you as an end user please by all means let's have your thoughts too. Over the past month or so I am slowly getting back into software and game development, and of course one project I am strongly looking at is the USA Games Evolution Engine. At the current moment the Evolution Engine is written in C++ and can be compiled as a dynamic library or can be statically linked into a project as it currently is in Mysteries of the Ancients, Raceway, and other games in development. However, as I mainly wrote this for myself it is okay as is, but at the same time I am consciously aware it isn't in a newbie friendly form that can be taken up and used by just anyone which is the reason for this survey. One of the principle strengths of Philip Bennefall's BGT Toolkit it is written in C++, but all the functions are exposed through a nice and easy to use scripting language called Angelscript. The strength of this approach is simply that a new game developer can just take up the BGT programming guide and start writing a game without knowing how SAPI works, how DirectX works, etc and all of the basic functionality is right there to use without the overhead of languages like C or C++. On the down side with BGT if a new game developer uses Angelscript they aren't actually learning a full blown programming language, only the scripting capabilities of BGT, and if they want to write something else other than a game they still have to go out and learn another language. In other words BGT is designed for one purpose, and isn't flexible enough to design other programs and applications out side of games. Plus if the end user is a Mac user or a Linux user BGT currently isn't an option anyway. My approach falls somewhere between those two extremes, and is in my opinion a better solution for all of the above except for the fact it wasn't designed for newbies in mind which brings us to the point of this survey. I've been thinking for quite some time what I should do is rewrite the Evolution Engine to be more newbie friendly as well as have some cross-platform implementation in mind. Then, I could license it to third-party game developers who want to just plug it into a game project and get everything up and running with a minimum amount of code and difficulty as possible. There are two ways in which I could do this. The first is I could rewrite the Evolution Engine in .NET like the original version, but only using the latest versions of the .NET Framework, SlimDX, and so forth. There are a number of advantages to doing it this way. One of the most important advantages is by creating a .NET library someone using Visual C++ .NET, Visual C# .NET, or Visual Basic .NET could simply incorporate my engine into their game project and have a choice in what language they wish to use when doing so. If a developer likes C# .NET they could use that, and if they prefer VB .NET they could use that instead. The choice is really up to them. You don't get that kind of choice with BGT which is one of the big advantages I see in basing it on .NET. Another advantage is thanks to the Mono Runtime C# .NET and Visual Basic .NET code can be quite portable and cross-platform. If written to be cross-platform using SDL .NET, for example, game developers can write games for Mac and Linux even if they do not own or use that specific platform. All they

For those that want to bypass the generator and script which they can edit maybe something simular to innosetup or something I don't know, maybe you can then if you really want directly handle it in c++ and do it that way. writing in dotnet would mean you could run the express vb versions, however python is also quite attractive, nvda is done in python and is quite accessable. ofcause you could still have the lib as is and your python code just call the lib's functions.

Re: [Audyssey] The Future of the Evolution Engine
Hi Shaun, As to your first point what you are talking about essentially is a wizard. The problem with wizards are they are not really flexible enough to create unique and interesting games. All you can do is drag and drop predefined objects onto a form, set their properties, and voila. Yeah, you might have a game, but there is only so much you can do with that sort of game building system. Take Audio Game Maker as an example. There were a number of features the developers left out of the toolkit such as the ability to save and restore games, a basic menu building object, the ability to find out what direction the player was facing etc. The problem was the source was not available and if there was something the developer wanted and there was no object for it the developer was out of luck. I can easily see something like that happening if I tried to create something similar. Let's assume my audio game creation tool had a basic player class/object that handles basic states like health, location, strength, speed, etc. However, someone comes along wants to create a Star Wars game, but there is no way to track the player's Force abilities much less add powers like heal, push, pull, protect, etc. They are going to turn around and ask me to add a new separate Jedi class just so they can create that kind of game which may or may not apply to any other developer. I would end up having to write all kinds of additions to that toolkit, because a wizard doesn't give someone enough flexibility to create new and interesting things without scripting or programming new classes and objects directly. As to your second point if I rewrote the engine in .NET it could definitely be used in # .NET Express or VB .NET Express. It also could be used with Monodevelop on Linux among other .NET IDEs and compilers. All a developer would have to do is add the library to their .NET project and import it into their project and access the classes just like any other .NET component. Cheers!

I really like this game but if I can't get round this soon, I may get bored enough to just trash of my hdd. its good and yes I can learn new skills, etc but really I am wandering exactly where to go. are there any good muds for mush that have good soundpacks and are blind accessable that I can play. I'd like to keep this going if I can but the feeling I associate to coman with throwing in the towel is coming up. I can probably handle it for another 2-3 days but unless I find some way to make progress, I'm going to just quit. the rating system on the quest says it shouldn't be that hard its got an 80-90% value of completion which possibly means I am being a dumb fecker and not doing something right. either that or I need to play another mud. since I have been playing if games for about 10 years or so I suspect I am missing something important. also I have loads of items I have a bag to put some in but I never have enough hands to get thigs and only found one shop which won't except some of my items I wanted to sell. I have found a couple extra weapons which look usefull only if I can handle both of them but I have no more item slots to fill so I just use my staff. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] The Future of the Evolution Engine
Hi Ken, Sure. What you had to say is precisely why I think offering up a .NET based library is the best of both worlds for most people, because it gives the developer a choice how he or she wants to use it in their games. I, for example, like C# .NET over VB .NET. Not surprising since I know C, C++, Java, etc and have grown quite use to the C-style syntax etc. You on the other hand like Visual Basic, and could use VB .NET with the engine and do so without having to learn all the .NET APIs to get a game up and running. Just import the Evolution library and use the built in classes to initialize SAPI, audio, input, etc. As to Python and math there is no problem doing complex 3d calculations in Python. There is a Python module called cmath which is a wrapper for a math library written in C which can do very accurate and complex math calculations fairly fast so Python can certainly do the heavy lifting for games. There is also a number of wrappers for OpenAL for Python so 3d audio is also possible in Python. I don't see much of a difference between Python and .NET in terms of those issues. Cheers!

For me at least, this is a no-brainer since even though I would have to learn a new language, it would at least be based on something I know--basic. It definitely seems the best way, especially when you talk about the compatibility problems between the Python versions. One of the most important aspects of game design for me is 3d audio. I'm not sure how well Python could handle calculations of that complexity or if something like OpenAl could be used with Python. Also, I was pointed at a new ide for programming in .net called SharpDevelop. My friend, Louis Bryant, recommended it to me and though I don't even know where to begin with .net I know that he is quite experienced with it and doesn't have any of the problems with it that others have with the official Microsoft ide. I have a lot of time on my hands these next four months--so maybe it's just time to look into learning .net.

Hi, Not only that, but the GMA policy on key replacements is four standard business days excluding weekends and holidays.

I might add when you send a key replacement request you should receive an automated email stating your message was received by GMA sales, and you can expect your replacement key in one to four business days.

Re: [Audyssey] game code/tying to a system/activation rant!
tell microslug that! between their activation and advantage system its a nightmare for users. everything is online, maybe you could have activation for online componants only. obviously if you need to be online that would be a problem but if you didn't need to then.

There are just too many possible points of failure in that arrangement.

Re: [Audyssey] game code/tying to a system/activation rant!
Hi Tom and all, Very much agree with these points, which was why we opted for an online registration system that gives the Windows user the power to activate/deactivate machines as needed. Fortunately, this problem is a non-issue on Mac OS X. I, too, generally avoid software that has been locked too hardware and requires a human to regenerate the key. There are just too many possible points of failure in that arrangement. I think it'd be good for the industry to see developers move toward a more modern system, and ditch the currently standard method of hardware code and requests for emailed keys. In these days of app stores, automatic downloads, and instant gratification, the market won't support the old model forever…probably not even all that much longer. It's too frustrating and antiquated. On Sep 4, 2013, at 7:50 PM, Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Dave, I know the feeling, and agree it is extremely infuriating and aggravating. It is for precisely that reason I will never resort to system specific product activations. I think it harms the customer more than it does the pirate who can find ways around such measures in any case. I have even decided not to purchase some software because of that kind of product security. Cheers!

I am so annoyed right now at companies, who do things to tighten their security and make their products unusable. In the old days you had a key and that was it. Now you've got to register your product, then activate it, and god forbid you don't have an internet connection up at the time. The reason I'm on this kick is I purchased a game several years back from a accessible game company, I won't name them, and played it very well on my 32 bit xp system. Well, they tie the game to that system, so that when I took that purchased game via USB thumb drive and installed it on the new box, the key which I had when I purchased does not work. I'm therefor unable to play in anything other than demo mode, and the dev won't get back to me. Infuriating and aggravating!

Re: [Audyssey] alter aon quest tips
no I have not got at that just yet. I plan to try that next. Though this is just a side ramble, I imagine once I get something that will override my free time this will probably go. I have a lot of time to waste currently and will for the next while. At 01:56 AM 9/6/2013, you wrote: hI there have you tried the newbie chanal on alter?

I really like this game but if I can't get round this soon, I may get bored enough to just trash of my hdd. its good and yes I can learn new skills, etc but really I am wandering exactly where to go. are there any good muds for mush that have good soundpacks and are blind accessable that I can play. I'd like to keep this going if I can but the feeling I associate to coman with throwing in the towel is coming up. I can probably handle it for another 2-3 days but unless I find some way to make progress, I'm going to just quit. the rating system on the quest says it shouldn't be that hard its got an 80-90% value of completion which possibly means I am being a dumb fecker and not doing something right. either that or I need to play another mud. since I have been playing if games for about 10 years or so I suspect I am missing something important. also I have loads of items I have a bag to put some in but I never have enough hands to get thigs and only found one shop which won't except some of my items I wanted to sell. I have found a couple extra weapons which look usefull only if I can handle both of them but I have no more item slots to fill so I just use my staff. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
