Re: [Audyssey] kerkerkruip
Hi Waine. There are literally thousands of interactive fiction games because new ones are being written all the time. that was why I suggested http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6c=0 because it gives some ideas for games and some good descriptions of ones to try for beginning if players. You can find lots of stuff on the interactive fiction archive, http://www.ifarchive.org/, however there the games don't have reviews or any information about them so your best off checking somewhere, reading descriptions and reviews and going from there. I usually use a site called baf's guide to the interactive fiction archive to look for games sinse they have individual pages for each game with links to reviews and solutions, but they seem to be down at the moment which is annoying.

There are no specific guides to interactive fiction for blind/vi users, however there are several general if guides, and sinse If is inherently accessible anyway as all your doing is reading on screen text and responding, that shouldn't be a problem. In terms of software, all you need is an interpreter and the game files. Interactive fiction games are like music files and you play them in an interpreter program just like you'd use Winamp, Windows media player, itunes, Vlc player or whatever to play your music files. For what interpreter you need, that depends firstly on what format of game your looking at playing, and secondly what screen reader you have. some people find the Filfre interpreter helpful, (I don't have the address on me but there is a page for it on audiogmaes.net), which can run Zcode or Glulks format games, I personally prefer win frotz and win glulks as I said, again, all of these have audiogames.net database entries so go and check there for more information. Once you have the file and the interpreter, it's just a question of reading the text and responding with what you type into the interpreter. interactive fiction are basically interactive stories that repsond to commands in truncated sentences, so the commands are realtively easy, stuff like get sword, light lantern, directions such as north and south etc. For a general guide see http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6c=0 for instance. The site is a little dated but it explains all about what interactive fiction is, and how to play it, though as I said for interpreters you probably will want to investigate some alternatives. Sorry if this is a little scatty, I am not in a very awake state at the moment due to sleeping badly last night, if you have any other questions please ask. Hth. Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] interactive fiction games question
Hi Tom. I'm actually surprised that there aren't more tactical text rpgs for this reason, sinse while I know interactive fiction traditionalists have a real downer on rpg mechanics, I'm surprised other people haven't done more. Then again, if you look at the resurgence of things like gamebooks for systems like Iphone there is actually more going on, it's just a shame that systems like canvasing or use of other image components like unity often make purely text based games inaccessible even on platforms like Ios where theoretically all text should work. I'd myself love to see a modern version of Eamon, perhaps with some extra commands such as talk, which could create purely rpg based outings and to which people could contribute more gmes.

Re: [Audyssey] interactive fiction games question
Hi Tom. I take your point regarding Inform, but after all inform was never meant to be used to create rpgs and their objects in the first place. You wouldn't find a class to create a multiple headed monster rather than a generic animal because in most inform games even if the game's writer wanted such a monster the function it'd be performing would essentially be a simple and animalistic one, you wouldn't actually have to fight and defeat it for example. Leaving aside your comments about kiddy languages I take your point on C++ letting you define your own objects and classes, however equally I do think it would be possible to create a text rpg creation system which had enough predefined objects and classes for people to play with and create a fun game. This is one reason Eamon became so popular, sinse the basic program had most things defined, weapons, armor, spells, a class for monsters, routines to handle healing items lights etc. unfortunately Eamon was lacking some fundamentals which meant most eamon authors also had to fiddle in basic to do things like have talking npcs, however I don't think it'd take much to define what was needed to create an actual rpg system, and create ffective a text rpg maker, particularly sinse many of the limitations the Eamon system had at the time such as needing to only have 250 character long room descriptions and having to tie effects (extra peaces of text), to those descriptions if you wanted them longer. Of course, for an experienced programmer creating an rpg would essentially be only a slightly more complex business than creating say a game of monopoly, however sinse manifestly not everybody has studdied programming for years, it'd be nice if there was some sort of workable rpg creation system, sinse if you break an rpg down into components you don't need much to create an engaging game considdering that what most of what you'll be doing will be writing text descriptions for the objects you've created.

It is at the top of a 700 foot deep canyon with a river at the bottom. You and another person sit in a pair of connected seats side by side, which are at the top of one edge of the canyon. You are only held in by a very thin harness. They then remove the floor from beneath you both and slowly tilt your seats down so you are now facing straight down the canyon wall, and you are only held in at this point, by your harness. I love these sorts of rides and trust me, it is pretty scary at this point, even if you cannot see. ;) Finally they count down from three to 1 and release you. You fall straight down the canyon wall and swing out to the center of the canyon and onward toward the other side. You then begin to drift into a spin and swing backward toward the canyon wall where you started and so on. The seats swing on a single cable, so you continue to spin as you swing. The zero G is like nothing I've experienced so far and I have gone on every zero G ride I can find. :) Once the ride calms down, it is actually amazingly graceful and beautiful. It's like you are flying and gently twirling in a dream. You are basically out in close to complete nothingness. It's also really cool as you can hear the river a long way off below you. It is about 2 or 3 hundred feet below you and you can hear it flowing as you swing above it. It is awesome! :) There is also a ride in Vegas which I plan on trying which has you jump off of a platform 850 feet above the ground. You are in a harness and jump straight down the side of the stratosphere. So it's like BASE jumping or bungee jumping on steroids. :) You go all the way to the ground so it is quite a lot of zero G.

Re: [Audyssey] montezuma's revenge
Hi Dark, Interesting. I definitely did not know that, but I guess it shouldn't surprise me. Some people do all kinds of strange things for kicks, and I guess why not include arcade characters etc into a text adventure,? Besides I could see a game about Panama Joe since he is suppose to be a legendary treasure hunter and while the mechanics etc would be different conceptually it could work. Instead of jumping skulls, spiders, snakes etc Panama Joe would have to fight them while collecting jewels and other treasures. I guess it could be developed into a serious game if one were so inclined to do that. I could even see some classic interactive fiction traps being added here. Such as if you didn't have a light, a torch, you could take a wrong turn and fall into a pit or chasm. If you walk into a room with a torch lit it would warn you about the danger and you would be at the edge but not fall off. Cheers! On 10/11/14, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom.

Re: [Audyssey] montezuma's revenge
Hi Tom. Well a serious game with Panama joe exploring a temple could be funn, though it would depend upon the execution of course, sinse there are already plenty of games where you play Indiana Jones type characters wandering around lost temples solving puzzles and picking up treasure, look at Azteca, the free demo game from malinche as an example. This is where some rpg mechanic would actually help sinse it'd be far more fun to me to fight the snakes and spiders and animated skulls etc, than just have locked door and object puzzles. I'd actually recommend you check out the Joust Zcode game, it was written by Andrew Plotkin and as you'd expect being by him is arather nutty. I like the way however you have to win by getting your creature above your opponents, knocking them off and then grabbing the egg which floats to different rooms. it's only a short little experiment but it's sort of fun for it's weerdness!

Re: [Audyssey] Audiogame in developing
Hi Thomas, As I said to dark I think these are valid points. Perheps mailing the devs about this would give them some good pointers.

Asking someone which game is his or her favorite might seem like a reasonable question to some developers, but the fact of the matter is I don't have a specific favorite game. I have certain favorites, and like each of them for different reasons. For several reasons I was not able to explain or articulate in the survey. Moreover there was far too much focus on the setting, characters, and storyline elements of the game than any kind of technical considerations. I personally can care less if I'm fighting vampires, cyborgs, or zombies as long as the game is good and enjoyable. However, what makes a game enjoyable are often the technical aspects like I'd like to recommend and was unable to do so. A case in point is on choosing an operating system. The first check box was for PC / Mac. By PC I assume here they meant Windows and by Mac I assume Mac OS, but they totally cut Linux users out of the voting process. Even if they chose not to develop any games for Linux as a Linux user I'd liked to have been able to vote upon it or have some say. So as a result if they choose to e-mail me about possible beta testing I am going to ask them point blank why Linux was not listed as an option as I strongly think someone needs to take them to task for that over sight. In any case like you I can't help but think they were going about this marketing survey the wrong way. Not sure what they were looking for, but I hope its not a case of x number people said they love Swamp so let's create a game just like Swamp kind of thing.

[Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi Anouk. I have just bought Ticonblu's games on Ios with the release of their bundles so was interested in your comments. Thus far, from their games I've played the main problem I've found with their interfaces is a lack of explanation, and an occasional freezing bug, but nothing I'd describe as horrible. It is true that the finger tap system to cycle objects and actions is slow, but I didn't find it any worse than something like Chillingham or Time adventures on the pc, and the main problem is the use of a single command to cycle menue objects and another to accept. While there are certainly better things you could do on Ios particularly, like letting you run a finger across the screen to scroll the objects faster and double tap to accept, the slowness I didn't find too bad, and I actually quite enjoyed the object finding in She Noire sinse it was far more interesting than just scrolling through stuff, although I do wish the objects you found related to the inventory and connected the story a little better. Lack of correct instructions is a problem, for example in Inquisitor's heartbeat it seemed to move in the four directions you actually need to swipe with one finger in the corresponding direction not touch the screen, but I suspect at least some of this could be a bad translation issue. I'd agree that The bugginess and occasional freezing is more of a pest, though I noticed that the first inquisitor game became less buggy after the update, so hopefully it'll get a fix in the future. The only game I have a really major hassle with the interface of is audio speed, which to be honest I would not have bought had it not come with the bundle along with She noire (which I did want), and worked out cheaper, sinse the tracking of tilts doesn't seem good. I've heard though the mechanics there are sort of a universal problem whether on pc oc, mac or Ios, and more fixes are planned, so I'm willing to reserve judgement there or at least to believe that the control issue is more a problem with the game over all than one specific to Ios, plus Racing games are hardly my favourite anyway even space themed ones.

[Audyssey] True or False - Test Your Wits!
HI all While browsing the list of accessible I OS games on the applevis site I came across this nice game. Its called True or False - Test Your Wits! Just go to the ap store on your IDevice and in the search field just type true or false and double tap the search button True or False - Test Your Wits! Is the first result that will come up. It's a nice quiz game. All the questions are answered by choosing true or false. Some of the levels gives you only 10 seconds to choose either true or false. From what I have played thus far, the most levels gives you 20 seconds per question. There's lots of questions in lots of categories so you won't get the same question a second time. The game is free but you can purchase 15 extra lives for 2 dollars and 99 cents. Then all ads are also removed. This game is not on pcsgames.net and audiogames.net. So I thought of telling you all about it. Its fully accessible with voice over.

Re: [Audyssey] True or False - Test Your Wits!
Although I do not like timed games when using a screen reader, I might give this a try. If stuff has to be repeated due to mispronunciation, it uses your time up, and with only 10 to 20 seconds, you don't have much. Also, how well does this game work on iDevices using firmware 8.0.2?

Re: [Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi Anouk. You need to turn vo off with all of the Ticon blu games, but they all self voice so that shouldn't be a problem, it's easy enough to tripple click home. I just finished She Noire on Ios earlier today, so I can help with that. When your told to find objects, what you need to do is track around the screen with one finger until you hear the object and then tap once to get it. You will hear a tone change from left to right and low to high as you move around the screen. This is part of the gameplay and I personally rather liked it sinse it made you feel much more a detective, going around and looking for clues and then having to look closer, although there were some parts of the game where it got a little weerd with the plot. You will also sometimes have to select objects to combine, but this you do with two fingers to cycle and then a single finger to select. The game does have instructions, you need to three finger tap to hear them, but I agree they should be available in the main menu, also they could be a little clearer on the object finding process. Also, the audio doesn't actually cut off, it's just the way the files have been edited from what I can gather. Still, the game was fun even if a little lose in the plotting in parts, and I love the phrase Wait there, I might decide to arrest you later :D. I'm not sure why Inquisitor isn't working for you, it went fine for me. I have an Iphone 5 with Ios 7 (I'll upgrade to 8 when the next version comes out and I can be sure it's less buggy). You just need to tap with two fingers to cycle and a finger to select. I suspect the main problem was you running the games with vo, sinse you really can't play these with vo running. Hth. I've just bought all the tincon blue games sinse their bundles were on offer and I look forward to playing through more of them.

Re: [Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi, No i ran it without vo but I will try it again toorrow. It was not really clear to me that you had to move your finger over the screen in order to home in on objects. Well I ran inquisitor on my iphone 4 when it was first released in English and that did not go so well, the mac version went ok but that is all a long time ago. I will try she noire again tomorrow and see how that goes now. Greetings, Anouk, On 11 Oct 2014, at 19:35, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Anouk. You need to turn vo off with all of the Ticon blu games, but they all self voice so that shouldn't be a problem, it's easy enough to tripple click home. I just finished She Noire on Ios earlier today, so I can help with that. When your told to find objects, what you need to do is track around the screen with one finger until you hear the object and then tap once to get it. You will hear a tone change from left to right and low to high as you move around the screen. This is part of the gameplay and I personally rather liked it sinse it made you feel much more a detective, going around and looking for clues and then having to look closer, although there were some parts of the game where it got a little weerd with the plot. You will also sometimes have to select objects to combine, but this you do with two fingers to cycle and then a single finger to select. The game does have instructions, you need to three finger tap to hear them, but I agree they should be available in the main menu, also they could be a little clearer on the object finding process. Also, the audio doesn't actually cut off, it's just the way the files have been edited from what I can gather. Still, the game was fun even if a little lose in the plotting in parts, and I love the phrase Wait there, I might decide to arrest you later :D. I'm not sure why Inquisitor isn't working for you, it went fine for me. I have an Iphone 5 with Ios 7 (I'll upgrade to 8 when the next version comes out and I can be sure it's less buggy). You just need to tap with two fingers to cycle and a finger to select. I suspect the main problem was you running the games with vo, sinse you really can't play these with vo running. Hth. I've just bought all the tincon blue games sinse their bundles were on offer and I look forward to playing through more of them.

Re: [Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi Anouk I don't know about why inquisitor might not be working. once you start you should be told to tap with two fingers to select from the menu and just go from there. Hope you can get it to run, it's a fun game and with the bundles on sale now is a good time to pick up their other stuff. Hope you like She Noire. it had some holes but was over all more fun than not. All the best, Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] True or False - Test Your Wits!
Hi dark Its all random facts from various categories such as movies, sport, food and drink, science, and technology. Each level also have a number of lives and a number of passes. Passes means if you don't know whether a question is true or false you can double tap on pass. If all your passes are up then you have to answer the question with either true or false. AS for difficulty levels, some levels have less lives and passes than other levels but it seems quite random. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 11 October 2014 05:42 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] True or False - Test Your Wits!

Re: [Audyssey] fun trivia
Hi Emily. www.whitestick.co.uk is a general informational site with lots of lists of links to important things for blind and vi people. It's maintained by a Scotish Chap called tom Lorimer, and is one of the best over all resources on the net for a lot of things. What particularly I was referring to in game terms was their games to play online page, which lists a lot of accessible browser games and some muds as well. Hth. dark.
