[Audyssey] role-playing type game map design
Jacob was talking about the scale of maps that could be built. If the maps were designed to be nested tree sets, you could have a number of scaled maps easily moved between. For example, you could start on a continent, move to a city or town, find a specific neighborhood and then enter a specific building by using a simple keystroke (plus and minus signs) to move to larger or smaller scale maps and normal navigation (probably arrow keys) to move within the individual maps. I like the idea of transportation over longer distances being step type movements. Sounds exciting Jacob.

Re: [Audyssey] role-playing type game map design
What have done with map/coordinate structure now is allow you to sort of assign transit conduits between separate points in your map - as in, while effectively in design, you'd have all the map locations on the same sort of grid, you could keep sections/groups separate, and assign a sort of conduit between the chunks - almost like making it to the next level in something like a platform game, and have also applied settings to those affecting if they work in both directions, or just one way/once off, etc. What might also do is sort of let you offer something along the lines of an access code/password on completion of a map, which might then be required by something like it's sequel map to then carry on there - in order to let you keep them as sort of separate maps, but, sort of linked, etc., or something...smile But that one's still just a thought, and not sure would really want to allow a map designer to assign an access password to a map - you could already sort of due something similar to that using something like the clues you might need to open up map sections, but, yes, you can already define a design password to stop someone else from just editing your map as they see fit/whenever they want to, etc. Kind of reminds me of how, in old days, with some of the first bits of adventure gaming I played, on commodore 64/XT PC, their form of copyright was that at times they'd ask you what something like the 5th word, on the 13th page of the game booklet was - think in those days, even photocopier's weren't all that commonly available to young people...smile Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet... - Original Message - From: Eleanor elea...@7128.com To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2014 4:10 PM Subject: [Audyssey] role-playing type game map design Jacob was talking about the scale of maps that could be built.

[Audyssey] Fwd: PCS DOS games
Forwarded Message Subject:PCS DOS games Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2014 09:47:26 -0500 From: Phil Vlasak phi...@bex.net To: Josh k joshknnd1...@gmail.com Hi Josh K,I would be willing to attach one of my DOS games to find out if it works with your new DOS system. Here are the games I can send you: ARTHUR'S QUEST RED DRAGON KICK BOXING A 2 Z Key Search MIND PUZZLES Haze Maze BREAKOUT P C S Car racing circuit Panzers In North Africa Fox and Hounds Monopoly Any night football Here is the catalog telling you about them: PCS Games Catalog 2002 EXCITING GAMES FOR THE BLIND COMPUTER USER PCS Games is operated and maintained by blind programmers. P C S is interested in providing fast action, fun, and exciting computerized board and arcade games for the blind community. In our board games, everything is described with all the necessary details as the game is being played and any information such as position or score may be obtained by hitting a key. In visual arcade games, players aim at objects using graphics or pictures, but in our arcade games we have the player aim by using their ears to hear a tone or a series of beeps to hit a target. Thus, the impossible to play eye hand video game becomes an easy to play ear hand audio game. We believe that the same enjoyment can be achieved by a blind person playing our games as a sighted person gets playing a video game. Playing sounds through a sound card will be used to enhance and blend with the operation of our programs. Coming soon! PCS Games is working on a full Windows version of our popular Pacman game which will be tentatively called Pacman Talks. In collaboration with David Greenwood of GMA games, we will be developing games using his Windows game creating engine. Pacman Talks is the first of a long list of games we hope to develop that are self-voicing with 3d high quality multi channel sounds. to GMA Game's home page. PCS now has games playable from Windows or DOS without needing any adaptive equipment. The games are DOSS based and completely audio, all information is spoken by a human, not a synthesizer, played through your computer's speakers. All of the games have a readme text file to help you with the installation. Once a game starts, hit the f1 key to get help and instructions on playing the game. Each of the following eight games, Duck hunt, Snipe Hunt, Space Invaders, Breakout, Pack man, Red Dragon Kick Boxing Challenge, A 2 Z Key Search and Mobius Mountain, comes on a CD. Additional Games will be added to the list as they are converted from the DOS versions. Games in this format cost $40.00 If you have purchased one of the following games in DOS, we will upgrade the game to our DOS/Windows hybrid for $10 each. RED DRAGON KICK BOXING CHALLENGE. 30 OR 40 GO A FEW ROUNDS IN THIS GAME FOR FAST ACTION LOVERS. PACK MAN. 30 OR 40 EAT FRUIT AND AVOID GHOSTS. LIVE ACTION ARCADE GAME. PC S BREAKOUT. 30 OR 40 SMASH! POW! CRUNCH! BREAK THROUGH WALL AFTER WALL OF OBJECTS. A 2 Z KEY SEARCH. 30 OR 40 A CHILD CAN USE THE COMPUTER AND LEARN LETTERS AND NUMBERS. MOBIUS MOUNTAIN. 20 OR 40 A MATH, SHOOTS AND LATTER TYPE GAME. The following are longer descriptions of each game: P C S SPACE INVADERS Thump, thump, a flash of audio peeps, chirps and blips alert you that one of the six columns of invaders is directly over head. You hold down the fire button, chupe, chupe, chupe and three enemy ships are destroyed. They move off to the right, thump, thump, thump, thump, and you try to get ahead of them. Again they come into your sights and you let loose with another burst. Chupe, chupe, chupe, the last three of six invaders in the column are vaporized. With no time to waist you move right again to try getting a bead on the first column of space invaders. You hear a high tone and before you can react, Ca-Boom, you run into a bomb. Its all over for you, and a tremendous explosion takes out your fortress! P C S Space Invaders is a game of awareness, concentration and quick reaction. You will have to listen to the sounds from the PC speaker, where information about the column at the current location is given. The stereo speakers will give you additional information about your position and the invaders, the remaining columns and how far apart is the first column from the last. Even the occasional UFO will enter the fray from the left or right side. You will try to blow away thirty six invaders before they reach the planet, and then do it again, again, and again. This is by far the most audio intents game Personal Computer Systems has made to date. There are many things going on at the same time, invaders moving back and forth and down, you can move right and left faster then the invaders, bombs are falling and missiles are flying. As if that is not enough an occasional UFO enters worth fat bonus points and as you reduce the columns of invaders they move faster. Our help screen is there to decipher what the sounds represent. Once you understand

Re: [Audyssey] WII accessible games
As far as I know, if you are totally blind, and you are the only person in the room, you cannot use the system. If a sighted person sets everything up, and they aim you, you can play some of the games through the use of timing. I may be wrong, though, or the systems may have changed as far as their accessibility is concerned. --- Be positive!

Actually, as long as you have the initial system setup finished, you can navigate the home screen by using a classic controller. Most of the items have a unique little jingle too, so you know what you are going to click on.

Re: [Audyssey] WII accessible games
I am only refering to setting the system up in a way you can get to your games and stuff. You said you had to have a sighted person set everything up for you, I'm just pointing out that setting up isn't the essential problem.
