Re: [Audyssey] brief description of Risk
That is true, very nice job in describing. That is what the list is for. And I am surprise not seeing any reply on a blind Risk game. AS mentioned, the engines are there for dice and cards. And say taking the idea of how Time of conflict is done in where the map is in a grid, and one can move around from vectors easy enough, why not the map of Risk, in much the same way. For me having been master of the world a few times playing Risk, it can be done. Even if the Risk not a perfect square map, it can be moved around like a crossword, where simple arrowing around the Risk world not hard, if you think about it. And then using, certain hot words, can jump one's view right where you want. Even for a good programmer can devleop a fine computer player as well. While the game has an order of action, to playing any cards needed to gain more armies, placments to attacks, the game can be dialog driven, right to the point where o more attacks are possible. Giving the programmer step by step of levels, in perfecting each step process.. And all this, in the same vain, can beused in another board game of Conquest, where find the flag before find the bomb. Where much like Battle ship, one can put their pieces where they like. And for the blind adding wonderful SF. Smiles, as I give my mom, who was sighted the game of battleship, she had enjoyed bolwing up the computer ships and the sounds. Yes, those sounds of KA-Boom, had woke me up a few times, find her palying Battle ship, form a nap.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone who's sent me suggestions both on and off the list. It's much appreciated. Risk is a game for 2-6 players played on a board with 42 countries. These countries are grouped into continents. (The world map is that of our Earth circa 1815, as the original game was supposed to model roughly Napoleonic era warfare). Each country is bordered by certain others, and countries across water from each other are joined by bridges over which pieces can move. All the pieces in the game are generic. There is an army which is a one hit figure. To attack a player moves 1 or more armies to an adjacent territory. One army must always be left in a territory as a marker of possession and as a garrison force. If a territory is conquered, then the player collects a card. The cards mirror the 42 countries, as well as two wild cards. Each card picutres a infantryman, a cavalry man, or a cannon. If you can make three of a kind of any of these, or one of each, then you can trade in the cards for extra armies at the beginning of your turn. At the beginning of the game you are given a certain number of armies based on the number of players playing, and countries are assigned randomly by deal of the cards. You place all your armies before play. At the beginning of your turn you gain armies from three sources: you gain 1 army for every three territories you possess with a minimum of 3 armies no matter what. If you control an entire continent you gain extra armies. larger or more difficult to defend continents give more armies. If you can trade in a three of a kind of cards you can gain extra armies. Combat is very simple. There are five dice with the game, 3 red, and 2 white. The defender has the white dice but may only roll 2 dice as long as he or she has more than 1 army in their territory to defend. The attacker can roll up to three dice, but the attacker can only roll dice equal to or less than his attacking force. I.e. if an attacker uses 5 armies he can roll 3 dice, but once that army drops to 2 armies, he can no longer roll 3 and must use 2 or 1 dice. The defender wins all ties. Otherwise who ever rolls highest wins. The top die of each player is compared then the next highest. If the defender rolls a 6 and 4 and the attacker rolls a 5 and a 4, each player loses one army. Battle is a matter of attrition where you wait for one side to either lose all their armies, or end the attack. There are more small rules about moving and consolidating a position, however, this gets across a basic idea of the game. If anyone
Re: [Audyssey] what will it take for this community to learn?
Smiles, agreeing with, Shawn, as the subject what to do. A decade old question with Mister North. Centerizing Blind games under a hud, in much the way Amazon, does with stores to get certain items. Or much like our own blind community of Blind Mice Mart Dot Com. In which, products and be polled and commented on. Once a game is marketed, the game programmer can work on new products or improving upon the one listed. To keep up with Technology, is the programmers hardest battle. Games over the years, will begin to get low ratings and comments, that gives the programmer on what is needed to bring a game back to life in a new version. I wish I could win the Lotto, to have the money, for such a grand idea. And I don't surf, the web like I use to, so there may be indeed a web site as I describe. But, I see so many Independent Game writers, from the ones testing the water to our best, in the last ten years and more. Around that time, there was only one real time card game on line, named ZFormed. A five draw poker game. Now, we have grown, to see others succeed, in many areas. A steady of watch dogs, to keep things up and up, through the years. My hhat off to them and the programmers, giving up time to supply games to enlught our lifes. I bow to you, for your work and love of an idea, and wanting to share it with the world and the blind community. For me, in my last words, before deleting this thread, like ot put in a wish list of a game.

Found a wonderful movie maker for the blind and as my JAFS (Jaws Accessible Field Scripts) have been completed for the following computer of Windows 7 and Jaws 13. The scripts has no arrays scripting, so even early set of Jaws can handle these, scripts that been a life of work. With as little keyboard naving here and thour. Looking for movie as well, musical performers or music director. I will have a contest to guess the music clip To give a chance to win For me been working hard learning Windows 7 and finsihing up on the newly named JAFS. Where you can keep your own notes and so darn much, I need a movie, LOL. And by writing this hoping can provide me a new thread, from Tommy. Crash not done yet. Have a new email, address wiht W7. And while clearing out emails on the old Vista, which the JAFS files will work. Strat-O-Matic, a text dos game that have had a few face changes, as well as my scripts, moving to a 32 bit and a 64 bit computer. JAFS with Arrays, will be injected on requested gamers. To due unseen, situations, I had to size down for my up coming bankruption. AS for me, dong OK, but my friends, do be watch for, for those, are those who like to steal from the blind on line and at your stores. There may be stealing even from the cameras now a days.

Hi Lindsay, There are actually quite a few depending on what OS you have and if you are able to run 16-bit and 32-bit applications. For example, there are the Richard Disteno games like Run for President, Atlantic City Blackjack, Dodge City Desperados, and Destination Mars. There are a number of older Dos apps like Piledriver, Wrestling League Manager, and Eamon Delux. That are relatively screen reader friendly. Plus there are the interactive fiction games that use an interpreter like Adrift, Winfrotz, Wintads, etc which there are litterally hundreds of games to choose from. So interactive fiction is a great place to start if you are looking for text adventures. Finally, I have been working on some text based games of my own which I hope to release for Mac, Linux, and Windows in time. As I am still in the process of development on those games I'll give more information when they become available. Cheers!

[Audyssey] Compiling aCompiler's compile question
Thought the best place to ask a compiling question is a place for programmers. And for me its Jaws and 64 bit machine. Wondering to go Doug Lee Programmer's way of insert a line in the .iss script that can grab the architect. Or if just possible change the .jss to be complied by the scompile.exe that is located in the 32 bit programes files in Jaws. The question goes back to my earlier post of JS Installer. It appears, while being inside an application like Inno and then being shelled by JS Install, and the former needing to be a specific permission group. And then when running the generated output file like setup.exe, still running inside an app, the 64 bit machine, and looks like the .exe files running seen as 32 bit. So why I am thinking could the file associate file better point to the scomple.exe for Jaws where it sits under the 32 bit Program files folder of Jaws. Smiles and all this only makes sense to those who comple for a living.

But even my things changed and revamping the batch file can be done. But even a few words of instructions, will have novice blind computers can be left in the dark.

As I took a quick look at the program Inno installer. I'll have to do some testing and writting. I had users in the shell window to accept or not in replacing files. Thinking of junking that, things like that. What I am considering then in the batch file to us a unzip command.

You could just delete the certifficate unless you really want it in there. Right now expect everything you do as outdated and there fore crap! everyone's software is now a pile of junky crap since everyone is effected. Personally I would have actually made sure all software was upgraded rather than ms forcing the upgrade on people that obviously hadn't upgraded yet to the new security model. Now users and developers will have to wait for upgrades or redo their certs. As a user I am angry at ms for not actually getting everything set with its previders like verisign to verify that most had upgraded before making the change. You can crack the registry temperarily to lower your security, but you will then put your system at risk though ms does acknowledge that for a time there will be a backlog as everyone tries to resign their security with the new standard. The cheapest way is to avoid ms installers. if you do need ms components aparently they will install since windows will allow for them to be installed. For the general blind dev that has payed probably a lot to get their certs concider what you need that security for. it may be easier to kill that or stop using windows installers all together.

I got back in wrestleing Hulk defeated the Iron Shiek. But got the hell out when the WEF used Clowns as Wrestling stars. By that time WCW was very strong with wrestlers's fled the WEF, to not be exposed during the Fed crack down on juicing. That pretty much kille it for me. And seeing my favs like SuperStar Grayom needed up being crippled by the stuff. And promoters out of their minds with stunt wrestlers jumpout from the celling and splatting on the floor. But for me I loving the 2 ears of Golden times of wrestling during my time 70-90's. I can do this by visiting Youtube. Here is one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO1k4AceMU0 Even Jesse is even is political back then, having the the suits be forced to do somthing. Smiles, more Jess interviews,, pretty much the same calling the big wigs out and looking for conspiracies. And plenty of razor cutting blood smearing, action there on youtube. And a lot of head banging out there too, when the fix is not on, and the 2 guys do really hate each others guts. I am considering n Jaws scripting the game. It appears to b e more stable then its counter part Stock Car Racing game by Mink. But after all these programs were built as college projects back in the 90's. Although the INdy Car racing game is a better version of the Stock Race reply racing game, they only have seasons for Indy racing. I may go back with a different stgratigy in Jaws scripting the Stock Car game. I was dong a more direct approuch. As the game don't like the mouse and its appears using Jaws will crash the old dos game sooner or later. Must times is during a race. So, need to lock the Jaw from being used. Any ideas, let me know. Just freeze it a small area, not the answer. But, Want may work is to build a shell around the program. Then using sort of a view with the choices in the menu list box from a jaws script. There way the game in the back grouond and the menu system will hand the PC Focus in the dos game. While an operation is happening, more the mouse would be ignored. Great for opening menu selections, but the real test would be to do the same thing during a race where the game is handling over 40 cars in a 500 miles race. And b y saying in this window, the renaming of the hot key to turns Jaws cursor, could be renamed, so out of habit, one may not hit the key. And again, not the problem, the mouse port and old lang, will not allow the old game to finish. The Jaws scripts or running a program to disconnect the mouse may be the simple answer and in fact I shold try to see if any software out there can turn input and outdevices on or off. Then import that in the scripts. Jaws would not know the mouse been cut off, and would sound like it was moving around, but in fact not moving at all, until the mouse off. Well, as would it not be cool to really move the Mouse with your JAws. Chasing your cat around the house with Jaw driving your mouise remotly. With addons grabs me a beer.

Well, only Jesse, took Steve, was to keep that image he liked, back then. Got to remember that was after Adrian car crash. But at least Steve never porked out. Smiles, better rethread on tweetter. But ok, have to bring back to gameing. My rule of thumb. The Strat-o-matic game will have downloadable games beginning around the 13th. I am planning on releaseing a lite version of the baseball scripts. While the game company is expects a test on Fed 13, trying to crash the server kind of thing. And if anybody can prove getting a lite version of the game to me they can get the Free copy of the Scripts directly from me. The liite game of Strat would only have the 2011 season. To play seasons from the past gong to need full version of the game. And proof of getting the full version of the baseball game, you will be intitle of the full version of the Jaws scripts. Any other day, the Lite version will still be available for both game types, for free. While the full version will work, but will have additional features, that I founds in so many ways,, not able to list them here. But it will be packed with things making the game an addictive game. If by playing solo, season replays and net play, managing the greatest baseball players is not the thing for you. Then don't use the email link below, not to subscribe to Crash's Strat-o-matic Jaws scripts for Computer Baseball. Those who do I'll put your email in a specail email group, and let you know of the Lite Jaws release. gary...@cableone.net This will also be the start of creating a list of gamers, for a futuresocial group of blind strat gamers. Those who wish to know more, I tell you what I'll do its own thread. And if my buddy Ron out there, we should get together for a maz interview. FTP or Talking Community channal. Looking to PODcast events for the Jaws scripts and the Strat games. and happy to do other folks PODs. And anybody still reading this check out http://playball.ws Its a few seasons behind, while been dong other projects, and will be gong through a massive over hual, by me. And there is a copy of what are parts of the fulll version of the Jaws scripts there. While the latest version, with new stuff and uncompleted sections for expanding certain items later to boost the power of the scripts in later BallPark editions. FThe Fobes field edition of the scripts will have ways to do calculations while reviewing reports. Whoops, I let one of the cats out of the bag.

Hi Dark, Sure. I definitely do not disagree with you. Dolphin's payment plan certainly is more fair. So is GW Micro's. However, as Freedom Scientific is largely funded here in the USA through government run state agencies they really do not have any incentive to change their payment plan or be more competitive because they have government funding. Someone like GW Micro who doesn't necessarily get a large percentage of sales through government agencies had to find ways to make their product more affordable so they started their lease to own payment plan as well as a traditional SMA payment plan for upgrades. As a result someone on SSI or SSDI is actually better off investing in a GW Micro product because its affordable and the company doesn't expect you to drop $900 at a drop of a hat. Its just not realistic given the fact over 80% of all blind Americans are unemployed and are living in section 508 government housing. Plus ever since I began working with Henter-Joice/Freedom Scientific products they always struck me strictly as a stuffy white collar type of company. It was clear from the beginning Jaws, Job Access With Speech, was intended to be for business professionals and large corperations. There aim or goal was not to target the average home user but schools, government agencies, large businesses, or blind computer users who were gainfully employed in some capacity. It wasn't intended to be for the average home user, but obviously that's what ended up happening because BSVI, BVR, DBS, and other state agencies purchased Jaws, trained their clients, and then could not successfully find them gainful employment Thus resulting in several VI users who have state funded computers with Jaws, Openbook, etc but no decent paying jobs to keep the software up to date.

All Roads lead to Rome and what ever a programmer takes, will be the best for him to make the best product that will have his name on it. Has Tom produce fine games? The gamer is the final judge, really not. Gamers are like addicts. They will play any game they can hook their Joy Stick to. Or is other programmers the best judge. As they will have their own agenda to get others more interested in what they are doing. So, what is the the best judge of a game. Well, its, simple word of mouth. Take for example. Who do you think of for anybody who wants to play a blind friendly game for the first time. Easy to use and have replay ability. Well, if I was asked that question Chuck, I got to say Jim Kitchen. Then I would go down the list. But for a first timer gamer who is blind, its Jim's games. In fact if you pole the list, it would not surprise me if Mister Kitchen would be on the top of someone playing their first blind game be from his web site. And I like to just to throw out a Big Thanks to Jim. He refered Jeff Smith to me. He is now playing Strat basebal. That pal. For Tom, sorry for what the email list done to him as well and others who done their best for the blind community. And if Raceway had been completed, I would have no problem in slapping down my cash down for it. I too, have had money down on this with Tom and North. For me I wanted to give him my support in giving a developer his dues, in programming time. That is fact that every one must understand about this list. The programmers don't get paid until the product is ready for sale. No cash coming their way and that very tough for those putting in the time and only get grief for not doing it this way or that way. Not to say I just wanted my money to be thrown away. But Tom did show that he really did his best, with the many demos and his own help on the list. I have benifited from Mister Ward at times and thank you Sir. And the real only thing about Tom I notice was that he fell into the old programmer trap. That being trying to stay up with the Technology. Programming and Reprogramming the same apllication because there may something newer out there, just keeps the programmer falling further and further behind on what they really want to do in the end. Smiles, I never seen a Game version go that high and not go gold. You know, let things at times roll off your back. Smush the last bugs and move on. Set a goal and keep to that goal. One can always go back to a game when the sales drop. So, my old time email list friend and those who are stil reading this email. I give Tom his credits, to taking on what he did as a programer and a Mod to the email list. Takes me long time to just delete the email I have no interested in, not to think of the time to mod it. That took away from his real love of programming. If anybody have tom's email address, please forward this email to him.

Re: [Audyssey] my frustration with the blind gaming comunity.
Yawn! A gamer is a person who plays a game. Not a person trying to figure out how to play the game. Sounds like, training monkeys. You hear a sound you respond, run, leap, shot. or if you don't you die. Sounds like a lot of fun. While I had site and played VG even in 3D. The point is gaming companies don't tend to make VG games accessible for the blind. So why even support a media that don't give a crap. Why go to a web site that makes you struggle. Instead you would just find a accessible web site with the same context. The inaccessible web page may be pretty and have great sounds, but why, spend time to do something that you would lined to make notes or try to remember what needs to be done. While a accessible web page you can figure out quickly and don what you want in a snap. Same thing with a game. Games should be fun not work to get a little fun. And that's what this list is all about. Finding and creating blind games that are blind friendly. As for myself, coding with Jaws scripts for sport computer sum games. I enjoy the challenge of making baseball, football, basketball and hockey games blind friendly and friendly with each new idea I find to do so. And this improves my playability. Which sums the whole thing up. Putting down the blind gaming community for not responding to what you feel is above every one else is a little snobbish. Having to answer over and over and getting upset about it, well, do something. Like, post F/Q on a web page to link to or face book it. Then you can simply post in email the links. So, let's not bore the list with why we all suck and you don't cause we play VG. Like me, I have a small with sports sum in the blind game community niche. But I don't, cry on the list why is not more interested in what I like. This does only dishonors your work on trying to build an interested in VG. Just don't take it to heart and be dishearten. Use the email list group a as a social network to get the word out. Even in a newsletter kind of of a way. Now that would be something I would check out on the list. When it has some formation like a new letter, instead of just posting quick quips or sound clips. All I am saying is try thinking out of the box more. Even my Pools and fantasy leagues, started out small. And able to make them grow, I had to have some patience. And what I discovered over time is that what is a lot of fun to some one, is not going to be not fun at all to others. And this is where you want to be focused on. Those who are having fun are thus who are having a great time I had created, what I thought was the best NFL Pool not only for the blind community but any NFL pool out there on the web. In 2011 I plan on skimming down a bit for the NCAA Brackets and NFL pool. Which is a tool to bring aboard newbie's for the first time, to build up the pools more. In conclusion, its great to have passion for something, but don't expect everyone else to have the same excitement. The blind gamers list is just that. A email for the blind and games. Smiles, that is a lot of lead way there for a lot of stuff and VG is just part of the whole not the universe. That's all folks, back to hitting my delete key. I'll shut the hell up. But really Ho hum And for those who create accessible games and those making main stream games blind friendly. From me and all those who have a great time playing them a big thanks to you for the passion for working so hard to give to the blind community a chance to play games just for the blind in one form or another.

Hey guys, Ok I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I find myself getting extremely frustrated with the blind gaming community. Why you ask? ok here goes. I'm sure you guys have noticed I've been putting up some rock band samples up. you've also noticed Clement has been putting up some street fighter IV samples and various other samples. So why is it that when we ask for feedback or comments on these samples we work hard to create, people simply either ignore us completely, or the same 3 or 4 people are the ones to always respond? well you know what I think the reason for that is? simply that the games we post about are mainstream games, not audio games. I've noticed that when a new audio game comes out, even if it's the most simplistic game in existence, everyone's all jumping to download it immediately and there are threads that span hundreds of messages on the subject. But when we post something having to do with console games, the thread dies in a matter of hours. I'm sure Clement has been feeling this frustration as well. it's been leaking through in his emails to the list even if he hasn't mentioned it outright. So my question is this: what must we do

Re: [Audyssey] Google Acquires Phonetic Arts for Speech Synthesis
Now this would be a grate tool for Raceway, don't you think so Phil. Even with creating games with a play by play system. And able to input say names in a editor program in the game. Also, thinking of the ten Pin Alley game could use this for its name system. Or any audio game where you can insert your own name for the main character. Also, the idea of games where once can talk to certain characters to gather info, would help creating more levels in the game without additional recordings. So, in effect added new levels to games can be done quicker. On of the old video games I enjoyed when still had sight was the Star Trek 25th Annv. While there was some shooting aspects to the game. There was a lot of text being display, saying like shields down 80 percent. And other talking characters. But it would be great to use this tool to get hold of sound clips of say Spock and use that as the voice to generate more speech out put for a audio Star Trek game. Great Job Phil in find this.

This can take any written sentence and generate its spoken equivalent We used PA Preview extensively as part of the alpha testing for Enslaved. It worked amazingly well and allowed us to do a full alpha-testing program with voices Tom Colvin Audio Director Ninja Theory Many games today are developed under intense time pressure and rapid production cycles. PA Preview has been invaluable to us, and meant we could get convincing dialog much earlier than normal with our tight scheduling requirements. This allowed us to jump ahead in our production schedule without waiting on studio time or or talent availability for pick-ups. Jesse Joudrey CTO A.C.R.O.N.Y.M Games Our Developers typically don't get any audio, now they can not only hear the dialogue at every stage of development, they can make changes they need for a scene straight away Chris Nutall CTO nDreams Use Our Voices PA Preview comes with a set of standard game character voices; with these you can be up and generating in-game dialog straight away We have characters ranging from secret agents, fantasy princesses, sports commentators and many more. Here are some examples: Dirk: Riawenna Jasper Use Your Own Voices If you already have some recordings of a character (for example from a previous game) you can use PA Adapt to adapt our voices to sound like your character Using as little as 200 lines, you can adapt the core voices and create as many new voices as you wish Control Expression Our copycat facility gives developers the ability to make lines sound exactly as they want. Simply record the line yourself, and copycat generate the speech in the characters voice, but using your tone and inflection. Script writers can use this to give a guide as to how they eventually want the lines to sound in the game. You can speed up and slow down the speech to suit the pace of the game BUT CAN'T I JUST USE AN OFF THE SHELF TEXT-TO-SPEECH SYSTEM TO DO THIS? Yes - but then your dialog will sound just like an off the shelf text-to-speech system! Advantages of Preview Voices that can sound lively or animated like the final characters in a game Using PA Adapt, use existing recordings to make the voices sound like the character voices that will finally be used Control expression: our patented Copycat technology allows you to speak a line in any style you want and Preview will copy that style but speak it with the voice of the character Ensure all the character names and places are pronounced correctly Operation Offline: Preview can be run in PA Studio, our powerful speech development environment. Simply load in the script, process the lines and save the generated audio for inclusion in the game as assets. In-game: run Preview live in the game; simply make the lines available to PA Engine and it will generate and stream the audio as needed.

The DirectX must be working Ok now for the game in demo mode on my Vista. computer. But the thing is its been so long ago I have no record of my user ID REgister number. The game runs under the demo, so I need these 2 items. I have no problem paying for the game again and getting the 1.02 version as the game I have is 1.0. So if Phil or anybody can look up my ID and number, so at least I can finaly put this to rest that be great.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Fine suggestions, one the first one though, I would make the random picking of a race lane up weighted. This given the better drivers more chance to be higher in the line ups. The game should take in effect that there better computer drivers. Then the judgment of how the gamer does would get a grade level, say A, B and C. Then when the line up is done. A rated drivers get a better shot up front in the line up and where the C rated drivers have some shot at sitting on the pole, but not a great one. Dropping in my note about getting Stock Car Racing accessible. Been a lot of work and fun. The external of the menus and viewing things like schedules and points is completed. Working on the internal parts now. Like the Cars are being put on the track and able to select one of the drivers from the past. Smiles, I think that is cool to select driver Richard Petty or Ricky Rudd. the hardest part is that the game has a system that no Dos game of its time had. The game was created by students in Indiana. Where by, they design a system to show the cars on a segment of the track. The cars only being icons, little squares that moved inside a grid. It's this moving, that makes it hard to program Jaws for.. And speaking of finding the drivers around you. AS pressing a certain key would be the way I will be using. For Tom's Race Way, if the Well is introduced in the game, the less you want to be banging on the keyboard. This is why, I suggest a play by play system. This could come by 2 speaking persons. The track announcer or your Pit chief. The PBP would be a time schedule event. When say going down the front stretch , the track announcer would be heard. This would give the gamer info of where he is on the track.Since many tracks are going to be oval and the track announcer would be speaking all the time, but you as a driver would only hear it at the moment when you are on the front stretch. So, this would be a schedule speaking event in the race. For the Pit Chief, could be random but also during certain import times for warnings , like fuel and tires. Also, when the car is not handling well or engine problems. The speeds like Race speed would be the announcer job with saying top 10 and the 4 drivers near the gamers' car, the 2 in front and the 2 in back or on the side. With this info the number of laps down or being on the same lap as the leader. And I could use Car lengths rather then by seconds. Then the Pit Chief could saying your gaining or falling back to the cars ahead when the car lengths change. And lastly, the Pit Chief also could help in knowing your position on the track. Using a sound schema, where by your Pit chief would be heard on the left side and the announcer would be heard on the right. The game should have a way to either making this option having them in Monnow or switching the 2 pbp around. The announcer would then be heard from the infield rather then the stands speakers and those with hearing problem may find having the Pit chief heard better in their better ear. But if not in Monnow , the voice coming toward would be heard and get loader, then fade away for the announcer. But for the Pit Chief would never fade away completely for long messages. For short broadcasts the volume can be adjusted to the point on the track. Smiles, and for Tom's game when you have made enough cash, you could by a Satellite radio, that would have a GNs that not only have better sound for your Pit Chief but a tracking position with a third voice say a lady voice. letting you know you are coming to a turn. Then again, though in that random event of communication breakdown and you do have to drive blind. Smiles, and the only thing you can get is the fourth voice of the driver himself reading the pit sign messages. These are just my thoughts and ideas for keeping the gamer more hands free with using a wheel or even using less of the keyboard for those who don't have a Wheel. The Driver's skill level and how to position cars in the line up. While I feel that Race Way can be a on going upgrading type of game, things like mentioned above and be added on later. Even if the game comes out with say four tracks in version 1, I be happy with that. A Trioval, Super oval, and small tracks. A road course would be a nice version upgrade to the game while additional tracks are introduced. I think even Charlie would agree. Just to help the game development to be shorten to finally see Race Way under tom. The first set of tracks can be used for different events and locations. In every NASCAR Yearbook, where you can get allot of great info. The Magazine does give you the data speeds for each segment of tracks. Well, I am just about out of gas, heading for the Pits.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Well, as I had enjoyed the NASCar racing game back in the Early nineties, and the realness of the game. Where it took over a minute to complete a lap in a 160 lap race to just reach 400 miles, even the regular movie going needs to hit the bathroom or get some more Goobers. Smiles, or just to answer the Dorr or phone. A pause feature and a Save function is really needed during a race where you have work hard to stay in the race. This does bring up a subject matter. When out of the race. The game should have the chance to able to continue to be a spectator . After Car problems or from a bad crash. And your out of the race. A way to be a spectator to hear the race play by play and to scroll down a position page with stats of cars still in the race and showing at the bottom the ones out and how they went out. But not all Cars out should be at the bottom as they may have completed ore laps then a car that has not. So, in effect you could watch your car drop down the order of finishes. The screen view car also be used when you have to bring your Car in the garage. With the sounds of repairs being done. The old NASCAR game had video of the computer cars shown like on TV shots, but since we need sounds a PBP and other sounds effect are needed in this mode. The game would have this scrolling page to check out the race positions. So, if you were battle another driver in the standings you can follow his car in this mode. Cheering on for other racers to overtake him is a lot of fun in this mode. Then if possible able to in Race Way to focus on this driver either in this mode or in a race, where you can find how the driver is doing. Thanks Jim, this was my thought on pausing and saving the game with a spectator mode.

Guess that I was still thinking of like with my original Mach 1 racing game with the racing league and my new tts version where the goal is to learn the track and drive it as fast as you possibly can. It is timed to one one thousandth of a second and in the league we had races decided by times that close. But I guess that a goal of getting ahead of and staying ahead of the other cars on the track would be more like a nascar race. Still not sure about a pause or save feature in a nascar race though. I personally like the time trial sort of thing trying to drive the track as fast as possible without other cars in the way. I most often played that mode in Atari Pole Position. It seems like more of a skill thing for me without the other random cars in the way. Guess having to get around random cars could be a skill as well though.

I also wonder how realistic you really want to be with a race game. I mean 43 car engines are going to sound like a swarm of mad bees. And just for the heck of it, try racing maybe 200 laps on say my Painsville oval track. It takes allot of mental and physical endurance to race even a simple track for 3 to 4 hours. I don't mean to be negative, just giving you some of my thoughts. Got to go and get ready to watch 1,100 miles of auto racing today. BFN - Original Message - Hi Charles, Well, at the time I took over development of Raceway from James North I invisioned it as an accessible version of Nascar Thunder 2004 by EA Games. As it happens I realy like Nascar Thunder, but of course it isn't accessible enough to really play. I usually wind up hitting the wall or plowing into another car. So when James North offered Raceway to me I took it, and decided to turn it into a fully accessible, fully playable, version of Nascar Thunder without any of the official Nascar logos and trademarks involved. As far as how it will compare to other racing games out there it might be easier to list its features, and let you decide based on that information. Basically, since it is based on Nascar, actually an official Nascar game, all of the rules, flags, and points will be exactly the same as you would expect from a real race. Unlike other accessible racing games you will be racing against 39 other AI driven cars so we are talking a full monty here not three or four cars as is the case with games like Poll Position. Since I am using official points and scoring
[Audyssey] Any Hints on Visual Studio with ASP1.net
Ok Hi. Lately, I have gotten the bug to finally Jaws script the Abandon ware Stock Car Racing game. After many years of scripting Strat sport games, I finally felt confident to attack this project. Although the Indy Auto Racing game is similar in design the on field track part of the game is different. So, in a way I am scripting 2 games at once. But, running into a run block with the Stock Car racing game. Whie the INdy car game the .exe files all work on Vista, the older Stock Car game has a file that uses a 16 bit system. It may work on XP, where I am able to get the window to come up with out the full screen error. Jaws is not able to see what is in this window. The program that is giving me fits is only a input form. This allows the gamer to input Driver's info like name car number number of starts, wins finishes and so on. The output is stored in a text file, a flat database. Now I have looked at disassembling and other things to void the most likely answer. Program it. AS I speak I am downing load VS 2008 with ASP.net and plan on getting the Jaws scripts for it. Also, picked some docs on how to and teaching docs about the subject. What I am looking for is some hint on starting and usng Visual Studio with Jaws to help me out. Being an old programmer like myself do need hints. So, any hint also on making a form to create a flat text file database would mean a lot to me and others for the 2 games.

Re: [Audyssey] Any Hints on Visual Studio with ASP1.net
Yeah,Ok, first Shawn, the games have a ASCII back ground to fill in the screen. This is a lot of characters symbols. I have gotten around them. And this was a lot of work to have Jaws not to say them and to just say the menu items. So, hang in there, I am realy close. I have finished the external scripting of the menus and other dialog boxes to work nickly with Jaws. But if racing is your bag and that being Stock Car, I will have news on a web site that uses Strategy and managing a race car and team. But first I want to check out the web site for blind friendlyness. To Tom, thanks I'll keep your email and add it to my folder where I unpacked the software. I am hoping only to is create a simple input form and an older version is OK with me. And while surfing I did not see any Jaws scripts for VS 2010. If I had yes, I would gone that way. So I'll update when there is some And I am not sure if my Vista computer will run it besides. This system has trouble installing the new Instant Messagerand Jaws 11. Smiles, but, yet this may end up fixing things. Your second item, sounds like to I need to turn of screen echo and just use the mouse to see whats happen. Thanks. I think what I need will be in the noice documentations where how to build a simple form. This will be worked on when I have spare time. But for now I am now looking to move to the next phase, being scripting the On Track enviroment. I have even learned some new trick in Jaws Scripting during the first phase. Well, not tricks, but finding what I can do and what I can not do with the scripting language. It's been fun and frustrating at the same time and that spells programming. But if some one who wants to join in the fun of this project and what to help in creating this input form for the Stock Car Racing Game, you can email me off list and I'll give you the specs that is needed. The input form is not big item in the game. It's used to create new Historical NASCAR seasons in side the Abandedware for the game to use on their own. That's why its not my next step and if I have to learn VS and # or whatever then so be it. But once I get the game scripted I have the game and the Jaws scripts on my web site with the Strat Sports games.

First, I don't know if you know this but Visual Studio 2008 is now out of date. Visual Studio 2010 Express was released not long ago and from what I can tell I'd recommend updating to it. I'm currently working on Window-Eyes set files for VS 2010, and i don't know what if any Jaws scripts exist for it. However, VS 2010 now supports .Net 4.0 as well as comes with a stripped down version of the Windows 7.1 Platform SDK which is necessary for up to date support for XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Second, as far as getting Visual Studio setup with Jaws or any other screen reader, for that matter, basicly just undock any windows you don't need. I also find disabling intellisense helps the screen readers from flipping out when it tries to autocomplete some code and you don't want it displaying x number of options etc. HTH On 6/12/10, Gary Whittington gary...@cableone.net wrote: Ok Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Looks, like old questions are returning. In the sound effect only really you need is the sound of your own car and the cars in the four directions. Front, back left and right. for example if your passing on the inside you would hear the care in front that becomes the car on the right. and if another car is front of that one you would beginning to hear it, when it is close enough for the game to detect the other car to be passed. With a track announcer this also can be used to indicate that your car is side to side and approaching car number 43. This would help in separating the car on the right and knowing that there will be upcoming sound of the car to be yet to be passed. The sounds of cars in front would have a different sound then the cars in back as well as left and right. Cars on the right may say have a little echo coming off the wall.. Like a sound of a tunnel, as the sound is bouncing off the wall and your car. Where the car on the left would have a distance sound to it. Taking the idea of the motor being closer to the driver perspective for front and back, and if the three cars were drafting, which would be heard more the car in front or in back. The car in back has its motor to the driver, so should it be more louder. In a way, not really, since your own motor may be blocking some sound of the car in front the car directly behind you is not as important as the car in front. If something was going to pass the sound would transfer to either the left or right sound effect. As you can see it not the number of cars you can hear but in effect the cars that have the most direct contact to your car zone on the track. Many of the racing games that are board games have a grid around the track. I am sure the NASCAr Thunder game use as a way to create the video of what is happen on the screen. It just appears that cars are being passed, because the game is saying to show a car being passed. IN a visual game where you can see several cars going into a turn, is just a video repentation of those cars moving through grinds ahead. Now for racing games with the board having fixed grinds, where a computer can have linear grinds where the Car can still move side to side in certain degrees, where if you go to high in the turn you may move out of the most outer grin and clip the wall. Computer cars don't never do this, and if they do crash its the random of the game saying that this Car is out of the race. Not due to hitting another car or wall, but a bad toss of the virtual dice you could say. Then other cars may be forced to hit the spin out car because just to close or other factors that may determine a mulit car pile up. When your Car approaches the crash site. Its up the driver to get out of the way if possible. So, let say the car in front blows a tire and begins to spin. The sound of the car in from sound turns directly into a car skidding. The sound of its motor would then become a left or right sound, indicating to you in which direct to do. If the skidding continue for a while would also mean it may be the best thing is to drive straight toward it, and hope the skidding car is out of the grind you will soon be in. Other on the other hand if you say hear if on the left side as a motor now, best thing is to move a little to the right and hug the wall. Where if car spinning is heading to the outer wall then dive to the lower part of the track. The sound of the skidding hitting the wall, you will just have to hope you can get around the bouncing car of the wall. Board games with grind usually have three rows, while a virtual computer would have have about the same, being each grid being a certain size on the track. So, a car out of control will not move in the normal manner of forward and from side to side. But will move like a bishop on a chess board. And depending on the impacts the car may move backward as will in a crash. So, I have describe the skidding car and let through in the sound of cars hitting the wall and other cars, a sound of a vrip, vrip vrip for a car in a spin. The sound of the cars in front should have a sound of its own that will let the gamer know its distance. AS PAc Man does where the sound of a ghost becomes loader when it gets closer. IN Raceway this would be measured in car lengths, so if a car in front does skid or in a spin, the sound of it would be at its lowest or highest depending on it distance from your car. Rubbing sound effects. When another car is rubbing against your car. This sound would be heard from the sides, while nudges sounds from the front and back. To finsh of the local sounds near your car, would include: Scraping: When you touching the wall. Speed Bumps when you to far inside, about to run off the trace, or to far under the yellow line. Could have a ding sound when your tire hits this line, and you may have to go under this line to avoid a crash. A ding on the right side would mean you

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Yes, I understand both points there tom. A Qualifier segment in this type of game is used to grade one's performance. And its like getting to another level in a scroll game. When it don't matter how many times a gamer tries to Qualify, when they do is when they can enter the race. Just one thing to point out is able to save the gamers best time for that track for that event. This way the gamer can then return to the game and able to either resume Qualifying to improve there time for a better track position for the star of the race or enter the event for the race. In real life Qualify for a race is to not to have the fastest car in front but to be sure the faster cars are not packed behind slower cars that may cause crashes when the race starts. So, if a gamer make the race and don't have a good time they will be put further in the line up with cars that are around the same speed. Now there are NASCar events that use Qualify times and points to determine line up position, like the Daytona at the beginning of the year. For the game to use just random picking may not be the perfect way to do it. If Race Way uses any driver data to making the game realistic, then it would use a weighted system, to be sure the better Drivers are getting higher line up position. Which in turn will reflect in the stats output.

One problem I am having with the game is a lot of this gets to be really technical, and goes way over my head. While I watch the ocational Nascar race and have played some of the racing games out there I'm not a hard core racing nut. Watching a few races now and then and playing the games now and then is a lot different then trying to program a really major racing game from scratch. It takes a lot of motivation, dedication, and an enjoyment for the project I really don't feel. Personally, I could care less if there is a qualifier before the race to find out your starting position or a set of random times to just select an automatic starting position for each car. I have to do that for the AI cars anyway so what's one more car right? However, I know if I don't add a qualifier some hard core racing fans out here are going to be realy disappointed, and knowing what I know about this community I'll never hear the end of it until I give them one. So eventually there will likely be a qualifier, but it is lower priority than the other features of the game. Right now. The test version that was written in C#, and is currently being ported to C++ simply randomly selects a starting position from 1 to 43 and lines the cars up in whatever random order it chooses. Not very realistic, but it works. On 5/30/10, Charles Rivard woofer...@sbcglobal.net wrote: I'd start with all 43 and go from there.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Thanks for the Reply. Let me first say, where I was coming from on the Custom names. I try to keep on what are where you are on the project. AS far as I understand it Tom, that Race Way was not licensed by NASCAR. So, the names in RaceWay was going to have made up names. This was the reason why I mentioned the editor so those who knew the drivers and want to replace the made up names with the real life drivers could. And of corce, with sponerships would mean a whole different can of worms. And again it was this point thinking that you would have been looking at a TTS over a recorded wav files. So, in effect its one or the other. And I see that, in either way, a Addon, also could be the anser. Let, me add, this. Strat-o-matic has many type of add on. The gaming company have different sports sims. Each sport game comes out every year with a upgrade to the game. Included in the new game is the last season roster, ssay, baseball. That season roster can only run on that new game. Older season rosters that can be purchase will run on that new game version. This indicate the data structure for rosters are the same. But its the season roster file that have certain elements that can only be played by its later version of the game and beyond. This is done simply I am sure. So, if Race Way, would have record wav files and later version of the game with newer seasons rosters. The same record wav file for Ernhart would be used. And then instead of a text edior for drivers, a system of selectiong sounds for saying Ernhart, would be the road heading for if RaceWay was going to have Addon packages, for adding past season. The Draw back, being that new racers in a season means new recording with the person who made the recordings. APBA Baseball Blast with Ernie Hardwell the great announcer for the game, was able to do this for a while. So,, even with Drivers name being recorded falls in kinda the same trap as the sponsorships. Since new ones come along as well. Even, able to mix and match sounds like the windows sound schema, a game that lends to being real and a way to import real names by recordings is a lot of work for the designer over time. Whereas, an editor for text gives the game the choice to put in the work to make it more realistic. And they, can create new season on thier own or wait for a upgrade that will have the data, if Race Way goes this way in having new and historical season. AS you know my thought in for you to make as much as you can on Race way, that will provide these type of addons. And let RaceWay be a game that can grow. Its the historical season and new season, that Strat makes it money on. The game itself is the foundation for playing. The upgrades to adding new items, which may even be half the cost of buying a new game, but, as Charles , says, the game gets better and better and is willing to get it. Then with the upgrade the buyer gets the laters season. And in my email on the splash screen, shows the gamer his purchase season. So, in effect the game and the seasons rosters are 2 separted items. The game who choices to make any chnaces to the season roster is makeing chances to this data file not the core of the game. And later when some ones wants a season from the past and don't want to find stats to input, they can check you site to see if the season roster file is available for purchase. IN Conclusion, Tom, I am not saying what RaceWay should be, but what it could be and how it can make money for years to come. The one thing about NASCAR Thunder, is that you have to purchase the while thing to able to have the latest season drivers. Now, I am not sure if the laster version wil allow you to continue your past season, because it is in coreed in the game. Smiles, and really, my friend, you have started scratch with the MR and made it your own. And the old code from North, can help you make the game you want and what ever language, Race Way is going to be yours, not some retread of North's work. And when its all said and done, know one will remember Mister North and his ways, but To Tom and his hard work and what he means to the blind community. I am only happy to help if I can, with thought and ideas on your project. Like the Play by Play for the game. Which we have taled about before. Which can be done with with TTS or recordded messages like the Window Baseball Blast. And if you want me to discuss this topic again I be happy to do so. IN short its a matter of using a codeding system when a certain event occurs triggers a PBP with the inserted info added to it like drivers name.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
One thing, that APBA Baseball for Window's Baseball Blast, was to have added record names for Ernie Hardwell was to get suggested names from their games by sending email. These new names would gone into the new version of the game. The game also used a text PBP system that used Ernie voice. The names of ball players thought out baseball history, was its draw back though. Since there is so many players in baseball history, the game was only able to be played on a CD Rom, that needed to be used. Causeing 1. the game may freeze if the CD Rom drive was having problems or the disk itsself was diry or scratched. 2. The drive would need to be replaced after a long playing of the game, say over a year. Smiles. APBA is now looking at using DVD drives I am sure for there new version, but the game company is still working on recording new PBP with some one new.

For one thing most of the voices are too robotic or inhuman sounding and ruins my gaming experience. The other issue is that handling Sapi in C++ is a total pain in the butt. The big problem is that most of Microsoft's C++ libraries require you to convert ascii text to unicode characters which is a royal pain in the tail. Newer languages, such as the .Net languages, automatically do this conversion for you. As a result you can't just pass the contents of a C++ variable to Sapi without converting the data in said variable to unicode first. As a result I tend to avoid some of Microsoft's Windows specific dll libraries and APIs for that specific reason.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Yup... Had a wheel and pedal, back when I played real early version of NASCAR Racing, before Thunder. I add that to the splash screen to show what to expect for others, AS I remember you saying you are building RaceWay with the Whell in mind. I used mine when I still had my poor vision. And the idea you have sound great. Point to note then: If game does not see any wheel device, game defaults to novice mode. Smiles. But the to have the menu option Game dvices, and when the person enter it, see that they can add devices, will encourage the gamer to buy one.

Technically the game isn't being designed with the keyboard user in mind here. Yes, it has keyboard support, but I am designing the game mechanics and game play around the Logitec Momo Racing Wheel the same way Jim Kitchens Match 1 TTS game is. There is so much more you can do with a racing wheel with force feedback support than your plane vinilla keyboard. Improved responce times and more accurate stearing just being two of the big ones. I know when playing Rail Racer there is a huge difference in keyboard control and stearing wheel control. When I was practicing the game using the keyboard I was discovering in online play everyone was dusting me left and right. They were cutting there track times in half, and I was just the slow guy in the race. Well, when I purchased the racing wheel for Raceway Ssuddenly my lap times were rapidly improving and I was able to stear the racer better. Especially, when taking those curves in Rail Racer which is where you lose all your speed and momentem. Another point of having a racing wheel with feedback support it is like stearing the car with certainr estrictions on how fast you can turn and the motors inside simulate actually trying to make a difficult turn. If you end up running into the marbel I can have the ff wheel vibrate like crazy simulate running over rough terrain which will likely destroy your tires in the process. However, the vibration will give you a good clue you aren't on the track any more. Keyboards just can't give you nearly as much control or feedback. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Happy to hear about the game will be created so it can expand. As RaceWay, is going to be good income for you Tom. As you describe it and a way to either able to update the drivers info historical stats data as part of the add ons or as a product to purchase every new season. To, keep the stats as real, the game needs the real stats. And by the stats, a system of grading the Team, and Pit Crew. For example the number of times a driver can been the number of races. AS you have mentioned in the email 39 drives, but the drivers database should not be just held to that. During a NACAR season, you will have local drivers who only can afford to race local. Or the times when drivers did not make the field. So, a team who is able to get in all 30 events will be grade A. But if the car has not finished a certain percentage of thier races should be graded as high for a high percentage and low for low percentage of finishing the race. So, the Pit Crew may not be to good and would get a D rating. Now on the other hand if a driver percentage for completing a race and due to crashing then the Driver is rating low. I am taking the rating system from the old Dos game, which I am working on for scripting with Jaws. But in what I was saying the driver stats is very important and other refferance material for creating other grading items in the game. Lastly, having a bigger database of drivers, the better for the game to rank higher during the season.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Well, Phil has a god point, but it could be just using the arror keys could be clutching as well. If the Thurder game has an option for either auto, then yes, I would go with Phil's point. AS Tom is wanting the game to be as close as the Thurder game. In fact it could be a advance driver settings. For example of this you would have to get out of the pits on your own. Smiles, which can be realy hard for novices. Certainly Race Way is not going to be a jperfect match for the Thurday game, as Tom describe adding keys to hear certain thinks. And not to mention the Pit Chief saying when a turn is coming and other sound effects indicaters. Tom got a task on his hand. To make the playable for those who dreamed of playing it with it being like Thunder , and yet to build it in a way to allow the game to make a profit in purchases. Having the game able to allow the gamer to grow with it, as being first a novice and then when getting better try a few options. ONe thing Tom don't want the game to be to hard in a way, many gamers wn't want to purchase it. Race Way is going not be a game where you achieve one level with success and able to move on. Instead Race Way one needs to learn how to drive with a keyboard. Even though there are stages in the game to master, is the reason why a set of class of gamers in the game is needed. Let the gamer be comfortable at what ever level and options available. Once there get the hang of it they can try new things like a clutch transmission. And this may not have to be in verion 1.0 as it can be an option in the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Well, I have been a long time supporter of the Add ons. Here is what I see for the Race Way Splash Screen. In this top menu for the game having the following: 1. Enter the Race Way 2. Options 3. Points and Standings 4. Garage 5. Sponsorships 6. Driver and Car Editor 7. Tracks 8. Game devices 9. Online and Credits 0. Exit + 9 = links to the game site with credits and other online links. 8 = Page to setting up the game with joysticks / Wheel with pedals 7 = Tracks page, where an editor could be, but would have a place where one can jump quickly to practice . This page can also be used for your stats page for these tracks. Showing your best lap times and race stats. 6 = This will bring you to a page where editing can be done, or a download page for other season. Basicly, a page for getting add ons if there is no editor to create one's own season. 5 = Tom's page idea page for Sponsorship. This also could handle a editor for giving the chance to edit fake sponsorships for real ones, if the gamer desires. 4 - Used to build and set up your racer. Such as spoiler and stacking up the waight on the side of the car. And if Tom uses any kind of color schema in the game a color painting can be done here. For me its a lime green body and yellow writting. In the Play by play colors could be used. In fact I would loke to see in the game to have a way to add one's own PBP for the Track Anouncer. For example if my car is a Pontiac and number 39 and I gave myself the name of Crash Whitting here on this page. Then setting the option in the PBP when I get the lead say this: Crash Whittington in his Lime Green and Yellow Pontia number 39 has just moved into first place on Lap ##. Having a PBP is great, allowing the gamer to collect info during the event. 3 = The main stats page. You will also be able to save and print or maybe even Blog. 2. Game options to select your driveing rating and Etc... And finally, the reason why I am writing this email. 1 = Looking at the game as being programmed in modules, so ad ons can be incorporated during its programming cycles. This option will allow the game to enter a screen where they can do the following when participating in a season. Here they can pick in a standard season 30 races with 40 entries. Custom Season, where the gamer selects the number of races, laps and the number of cars. Race Day, for selecting a track, the number of lapps and cars. The rest of the menu options beside Exit screen would have options as in. 2009 Standare Season 2009 Custom Season 2008 Standare Season And Etc. So, the top options is to create the new desired season, while the bottom would have the partly played season. On these option, they could include Next Race Atlanta. With these verible option menus that can change and be add on to in the game will allow expansion of the game. In the same way viewing the game stats can have a list box of the seasons with stats to choice from. So, where there is a core change in the main game program, the already played seasons will not be effected. Since this would be databases holding the info and just text files for the stats. I hope this helps you Tom in any way, I am also taking my ideas from NASCar Thunder and another DOS Stock Car game. I am not trying to say how the game should be, but giving some input on what I also had the chance to play with for racing sims and other sport sims. As even the Strat sport games have this moduler style, so when an update to the man game is done it does not effect other sections of the game when possible. And if there is something here you can use, please do so and keep this email for the development of the game. Oh, no, I just got a cricket in my house. Smiles, sounds like a new game.

Not only that, but it helps spread the development out over multiple releases. One thing i've learned from Mysteries of the Ancients is it isn't possible to necessarily include every suggestion, idea, or desired feature in the initial release. That is just way too much work. However, there is an easy solution for that problem, and it is to create expantion packs or release updates to the game at some point after 1.0 is released. So I've had this idea in mind for a while now, and your suggestion to release expantion packs just cemented the idea for me. Obviously, for some games having expantion packs, whatever, wouldn't work as it might not work into the storyline or into the over all game mechanics well. However, I know several accessible games where some sort of expantion pack would work quite well. Raceway is one of them as it wouldn't hurt to create additional tracks, an online racing mode, and possibly the ability to add

[Audyssey] Looking for sponsorship
Hi friends, looking for sponsorships for the upcoming NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship pool and the upcoming BasebaseBaseball Accessible Liberty League. Sponsoring one or both will allow the game web site to have links on the page for the blind accessible pool and a link on the home page for the accessible Draft fantasy League. Having now ran the NCAA basketball pool for the blind over 5 years, I would like to see the pool to grow and have better prizes. AS I had in the past put up the prizes up myself, I want to make the pool to able to have a sponsor to the sponsor can take advantage of the blind gaming community that are members of the pool. This would benefit the pool as well as the sponsor. As of now the NCAA pool is taking early registration. Those who wish to be in the pool can register at: http://www.mysideline.com/u/14430/collegebbmens/tournamententry.htm Interested in sponsorship can email at: gary...@cableone.net Those in wanting to join or sponsor the 2010 Accessible Baseball Draft fantasy League , please, use the email link above. You can check out the League home site by clicking on the link below: http://www.fanstarbaseball.com/baseball/blindaccessi/index.php I have now ran this league for 2 years successfully. With the help from FanStar in making the web site very blind friendly. The accessible draft for the blind is not like those major fantasy league sites. The blind gamer can take part in the live draft of their players. This was my major factor in using the FanStar web site. I wanting the league also to grow in membership and looking for sponsorships. My main concern for the Baseball fantasy league and the football fantasy league is for me to learn what I need before looking for any kind of sponsorship. The prizes can be moderate in value, since in the beginning I wanted a place for the blind community to be able to enjoy someplace where they could compete with other blind gamers that could include family members and friends of the blind community. So, by having a subscription or a prize of a game is just an extra bonus for the winner at pool's end or at the end of the fantasy league season.

[Audyssey] Super Bowl Squares Pool
How many would be interested in doing a Super Bowl Squares pool. Reply this this email and let me know you would be interested. Also on how many squares you would take if we did one. So, how much should a square cost in the pool. PayPal will hand all cash transactions and you would need a PayPal account. Depending on the response, I will give it great consideration. And if we do have the pool we could have the Super Bowl part on FTP. I have looked at the on line site to have it on and it looks easy enough. for the pool grid, it is a matter of lining up the page and then using the mouse like Jaws you can see the full grid and select the square you would like. This poll will be open until Sunday night. Then I will make my decision to do the pool. From the response I get that do want to join will get the first invites to take their squares. Then to fill out more square I will post again to the lists. Prizes will be determine on the price of the squares and the number sold. This will also determine the number of pay outs. So in effect the web site will change from time to time before the pool closes as I will do construction on different points of the pool site. This would be a first for me and so that is why I will do some work on the fly and then in later years the site will be ready to go. And finally, if I feel the Pool did not sell enough squares, I will refund all squares. In the case if there is squares left in the pool, will sue these squares be squares to have donations to For-The-People.com. This may be first quarter pay out to the grand prize. Again all depending on participation. And if any donation is required this will be bundled with the NFL Pool of Beat My Monkey 09 Thanks Friends.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway Thoughts
Well,, I seen a some what interesting ways to get around this matter. I feeling that if you can make the close to the real name. And have the game able to edit these fields, that the game who wants to have the realism, that it work take a little effort of the gamer to correct the names. Let's say we have Jeff Gordon. You could let it be Skids Gordan. Those who would know its really Jeff that should be the nick name of Skids can change it to Jeff on their own. Or If the game knows his car number. YOu could have the info as #23 JG. Or even if the gamer don't know that is, you could have a link in your documents to a web site, that the gamer could fetch the info and then edit. I even seen the name just have a character replace one of the letters in the name like: Jeff Go%dan It looks like that its have to do with using the full name inside games that the licenses justpertain. And as long as the game has an editoring the copyrights can not touch the game since it is not sold with the exactly names of persons or products. This would fall in the same thing with sponsors. If a team is sponsor by Tide. The same things above could be used as in Tiddy Soap Gamers may guess this must be Tide. But if they don't I feel that what every the sponsorship is nameed, it don't have to be the real product, but some thing that may souond like is alright or not. If The game is good this would be a meer point. But allowing the gamer to change it to any thing what , being a actually product or a made up one should be part of the game features. And since you will be using a computer voice for the track announcer,, it allows room for a editor in the game. Last thing in considering in your programming for future feautes in the game. Since a computer voice will be dong the play by play PBP, this also leaves room for adding more PBP in the future. I feel more variety in the PBP is a big plus to the blind gamer. And when ever updateing the version to the game, could include new PBP. To end this email before it gets to long. I will describe the methond of how Strat-o-matic uses a text file to grab randomly PBP for certain trigger effects. I will describe this in baseball terms and this could be implyed in a race. Ok, the situation is no outs no one on base. A situation like this would get a code of 00. Next is what happen in the game. A hit or strike out. Let say it was a strike out. This would gvie us a game result code say K. Now we have a combine code of 00K. The game will now need to look for this code in the PBP file. The 00K will be put at the beginning of a line. And you may have a dozen ways to say how the batter strike out. This is the key to get variety in the PBP. In each of the lines that has starts 00K, you would have a number say 80. This number would be a percentage. The game would generate a random numberbetween 1 to 100. If the number fall within 80, the PBP is used. Else, the game would look for a higher percentage number in on of the 00K. In effect some phrase are common and its these types that get high percentages. So for a rare PBP, as in the batter swung at a ball that hit the ground before getting to the catcher's mit. Rare PBP would have a low percentage. Add to this the time for the game to look for a PBP and another random number of times to choose a PBP, the rare PBP will be just that. And finally, in the PBP using variables for the batter's and pitcher's names, will add the variety to even common PBP phrases. Then having the computer to read the information either will a buffer or posting the PBP right on the screen. IN fact, this Is who Strat does its 1000's lines of PBP and I just use Jaws to read the PBP when it scrolls. A Jaws small script does this very well and no added programming would be need to incorperate a specail computer voice. If a text reader can handle some PBP from time during a race, would cut down on the programming to the same thing a text reader could do. But if total realism is what the gamer wants , Jaws can swith over to a better sonding announcer as well. Smiles, these are just my thought on name and using the names in a PBP system with some varity and able to use ones own text reader.

On July 23 2009, the first net played Strat-o-matic computer baseball game wa played. Boston Manager David Hoppman. Oakland Manager Gary Whittington. As this was a game to work out any problems during a net played game in the first game of the 2008 Liberty League schedule March 25 2008. Gary stepped into the manager role for the computer manager for the Oakland team. This team is available to any blind baseball fan to manage, if they want to join the Liberty League. Here is a newpapper clipping of the highlight of the game. WEB GEMS- Top 1st: Oakland's Ryan Sweeney robbed Manny Ramirez of an extra base hit. Jack Cust had 2 base hits and Joe Blanton was on top of his game, blanking Boston on just 2 hits as the Oakland Radicals defeated the Boston Bean Eaters 2 to 0 at McAfee Coliseum. Blanton(1-0) was on top of his game. He didn't allow much, just 2 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings. After the 3rd inning, neither team was able to score. Josh Beckett(0-1) was given the loss. Despite losing, he struckout 13 Oakland batters in 8 innings. 'He had his 'A' game tonight,' Gary Whittington said of Blanton. 'Very impressive performance.' XXX After years of creating the right Jaws configurations for the computer baseball game, I finally seen my goal come true. Having my own Strat blind email league. Both Dave and I really enjoyed playing the game without no problems. We are planing on playing the same teams on friday and maybe Dave can get his first ever win.

[Audyssey] Liberty League Launches
HI every body update on the news from the Strat-of-Matic accessible Legue for the blind will be playings its first game in the Liberty League on July 22. The game will feature 2 blind managers playing a baseball sim over the internet. David Hoppman will manage the 2008 Boston team while I will manage the Oakland team. This right now will be a closed session, to work out any glitches for up coming events where the net played games will be broadcasted on a voice chat web site. The debut of the Liberty League has been a long time dream of mine. Having Jaws making the main stream game of Strat to be accessible to the blind and creating a email league. The Liberty League consist of all the Major league teams and rosters of the 2008 season. With most of the teams being manage by the computer, leaves., plenty of teams for other blnd baseball fans to join. During the season any team tranactions are done automatically. Managers will create lineups and set rotations. Home and away games are replayed by the team manager either against a computer manager or net play against another blind manager. An All Star game will be managed by the 2 managers with the best records. Playoff teams will be managed by league managers even if their team don't make the playoffs. This is not a fantasy league. As manager you will need to make on the field decisions and day to day evaluation of your players usage to keep players from being over used. At this point the LIberty League is getting a Yahoo email group for its league. The playball.ws web site will keep track of the league stats. For now I'm going to report more on what the Liberty League is dong and its upcoming games that you can be a spectator of. Those who are interesting in jooing the Liberty League, must own the Strat computer baseball game and my Jaws configurations. You can get the game at the Strat-O-Matic web site http://strat-o-matic.com And to get the Jaws confgurations at http://playball.ws Open the link for Strat instructional Jukebox. From there the bottom link has the latest start up kit for the game there. Smiles, I am always updaing my Jaws Configs, to please me and why not enjoy them yourselves. Recently I have quickly scripted , hot keys to read the Legue Leaders. No more having to use Jaws repeatly and then have finger cramps. Now just with a key stroke read the left side of the screen or the middle or the right side of the three column of stats. Ballparks that soon be part of the Jaws configurations package for ball ball codes will include Toronto's Sky Dome and other ball parks that include classic ball parks.

Re: [Audyssey] Che send me an active email
No one forgets Crash, Smiles. Don't hide things, show it, is a motto for web master. I do have Java Script that will allow you to have a link for your email and hide it from spammer. If you would like this send me an email off list. Also another easy way is to use emails address on web pages with out putting them directly on a link, is to put spaces in the address and spell out the (DOT).. Spammers programs will then have trouble picking up emails off the web page. The former is best since the Spammer programs can also look at the source and look for certain things. The Java Script will break up your email address and assemble when the link is executed. Really, I just did not want to ramble around looking for a contact link or email address. Smiles, the fast way was this way and a way to promote your site if wanted Wanted to truly things on, is to have an alternative tp AIP. It just seems what ramdom system their server does, really just be a Kiddy random generater. This realy shows up during Texas Holdem on the first 2 cards that are dealt.

Re: [Audyssey] Other baseball computer games.
Well, Jermy, as you noted the Game needed to be played in your CD Rom is very True. playing this game back in the 90's, I can say, that the game well go through CD Rom players. That was the only fault in the game. Also to not that gamers will need to upgade to 5.5 to get any recetnly roster disk. Qustion on edit players. AS you wil find on playball.ws that I had Schmitz traveling back in time. The original Miller main game did come with a Encyclopedia. Here you could any season from the past. Also, to let you know I just recently wrote to APBA and there still no word on the release of v6. And no word if this game is going to be blind accessible. While the version 5 had a few graphics that need labeled during game play, as you have mentioned the ease of using the game options for on field play, is only a matter of hot keys, but its those graphics that do the same job with mouse clicks. Also, the Jaws configus I had wrote for this game does the same for the on field game play. To show the runners on base and other info with frames. But for realizim Strat is the hand down winner. AS I find young blind games favor the Hardwell voice and is a good place to learn about Computer Baseball sims. APBA started out as the All Star GaseBall board game with its spinner. While Start-O-Matic was dice driven. The Start game still uses the dice while the ABPA uses the common Squeeze average system. Smiles losing their spinner, in effect for the video baseball system. I am not trying to make arguments here for one or the other, just putting the facts out there, as you may or may not know. I could go in more detail on how strat man hours go into researching box scores to see how batters, if they get more pop up to the infield or outfield. Where video games and like ABPa don't consider, but but only with the stats and a few ratings. Not caring if a pitcher is a ground ball pitcher or a fly ball pitcher. So, I yes, indeed if this is your first look at a computer Baseball sim, then Baseball Blast is your game, its wonderful with is sounds and voice play by play. But when your ready to manage like a Pro manager its Strat and its many options of just how you want to reply your season.

Hello. I would strongly advise looking at that website I gave you for more details than I can give you in a quick mailing.

However, they have what are called season discs and again, I suggest going to the website to see which season discs and team discs are available. It also has a schedule maker for playing things like regular seasons and world serieses, playoffs, etc. There is no trial period for the game, since it runs off of the cd-rom, due to all the sound files for commentary. But I assure you, it is accessible as far as menus and that are concerned. I warn you that during the game you will have to use the jaws or window-eyes or Hal cursors to do things like put in relief pitchers and change player positions, but again, it is all right there on the screen.

They still sell it at http://www.apbastadium.com and the game is called baseball for windows. They are apparently making a new version, but no new announcements have been coming out for the last two years or so. The cool thing about this game is that it is completely voiced by Ernie Harwell, including all names. What they do is have a database of several thousand names on the cd-rom, and even if a team or player is represented by one letter due to copyrights etc, the names are still in the database, and you can rename the players or teams as needed.As you may guess, do to all the files, the game must be run from the cd-rom each time, but it is very quick in spite of that. . Lol. In other news, there may be some baseball games and other sports games coming sometime in the very very distant future.

It would have to be voiced with SAPI as it contains hundreds of player's names. Right now there is a commercial version of a similar game called Strat-O-Matic baseball simulator, but I think it costs about $70.

Re: [Audyssey] harry hollinsworth world series game
Hello, baseball fans looks like its time to update you all on my Strat-o-Matic project. As many know of my years of work on the many sport games of strat, I will cover basebase here. The SOM computer game is now in its 14th version. It has a new graphical interface. Now this does not mean that it is no long a text game. Instead just in the way it handles on field Icons like pitchers, batter and fielders. Much of the game is the same including game play. The new interface has help me and other ways not so much. With the new interface has done was to make all ball parks to be more flexable during net play. No long does the blind gamer have to reset up his frames to fit an unknown set up that a person with vision has for his ball park. Each computer in the hook up will use their settings. Smiles, a big point I make with the company. Along with a few other items I had brought to their attention. As now we have blind gamers playing the game with my Jaws configurations along with the basketball game. The web site to get the Jaws configurations to play the baseball computer game is at: http://playball.ws I did have to take off the basketball zip file off the site for reasons of space. But if you want a copy of these configurations or the football or hockey game just email me at: gary...@cableone.net rest of the news for the baseball computer game is only that I am working on creating more ball park configurations. I have over 20 parks that includes old Yankees Stadium to Minnesota Metrodome. From old parks to the new are on the playball.ws SOM instructional juke box. Just click on the link at the bottom of the page. The juke box can provide you who the game works and played. These audios are pre new interface, but will show the game off. I no longer carry the demo game on the site, so listening to the audio files is the only way is to find out if Strat-o-Matic baseball computer game is for you. The start up package or the SombbZip.zip files does have a help file and a hot key file. The biggest imrovement I made with the Jaws configurations is there is a installer file in the zip file. This makes it a one step of installing all files and for updateing your game Jaws configuration fiels. If you do need a certain ball park configurations, I will crank one out for you. In fact its got pretty ease to do this now Phil. The version 14 also has its newest feature of not only can 2 gamers play head to head over the net, but others can join in and watch the game as spectators. It now uses the same game server as the football game, much like a voice chat room syste. My friend David and I are presently working on getting this going. Having some problems when the host computer with Jaws locks up when the other person with Jaws gets his pre game set up screen. Smiles, so we are very close, and this little problem, hoping a little one, can be solved, we be playing ball. What esle is happening with me and the SOM baseball Computer game. Still in the league of HRFL, the Historical Retro Franchise League. Where I been a member since season 1933 and now its 1946 just had our All Star Game. This game was also played on line, very cool! My Cubbies fell short in 1945, their pennat year and have gone under 500 in 1946. My White Sox team also in the same league with all managers having sight, has a little better record, Smiles, but not much. We are in the midddle of trades talks with the Reds to pick up Hank Sauer for the Cubs. And going to need to pick up a free agent for the Cubs. Ran out of At Bats for my Catchers. I had an All Star Catcher on the Cubs and it was hard to set him to rest and now I have to pick up a catcher with enough ABs to carry me to the end of the season. And it looks like this catcher has a +4 arm. Not good. Good new in the All Star Game I had one of my pitchers pick up the win. Bragging rights ! Yes! White Sox had some all stars as well as my Gold Glove outfielder with the league leading steals of 29. So, Phil and Dennis, having fun at the old ball park and have to go and check on my trades offers.

As of now to join the pool, you can register at http://www.mysideline.com/u/14430/collegebbmens/default.htm The pool will open some time next week when you can fill out your brackets. All registered members will be told as soon as the pool opens. Last year, I started Blind Accessible Liberty League (BALL). My thanks to those who were managers in this first ever accessible Draft Baseball Fantasy League. We all learned allot and now with the knowledge as a commissioner, I am looking to expanding BALL. I have made some improvements and look to bring the blind community a chance to join in a Fantasy League, that you can draft players you want and not have the computer server pick them for you. Like the big sites that run draft baseball fantasy leagues, MLB ESPN, just to mention a few. BALL is your blind accessible baseball fantasy league. So, here is your chance to be part of something that cares and wants you to be able to enjoy being able to draft for yourselves.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Uno game with human players
Yes, as I posted. Joining at a table on: http://allinplay.com There are bots. When someone joins the table the bot ris replaced. Normal tables can have up to 8 players. There are tables where you start play with 8,5 and 3 cards. New tables have been added to the mix, which I enjoy. These tables start with only 1 bot instead of 2. Playing head to head is cool. Also with these tables you have to start with 7 cards. And one table will allow more then 2 players to play. Finally there is the big shoe table where you play with five cards to start, but there is 6 decks. Other tables have 2 decks. As this game is not a poker game, you try to met your goal of 1888 points. The number of points you give away is added up and this is what is posted on the score board. If your score is low enough to get on the score board, it can stay there for 15 weeks. If joing before to say crash was the member who sent you.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Uno game with human players
Certain, I guess the most important thing is that since the All in play http://allinplay.com is designed in that both the sighted and blind can play against each other. Game play does need to use your text reader either Jaws or Window Eyes. There are email community lists you can join. There also greeting members to help newbie's for their games. So by sitting at the most lower tables, the greeters can answer game questions. Each game does have links with instructions on how to play, say Texas hold'em. Links for how to use your keyboard for game play.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Uno game with human players
Thank you Tom. I would like to see All in Play do some more card games. Such as Gin Rummy and trump games like Hearts and my favorite Euker. Monopoly, has been banged around for some time and other board games. Boards game could be done, but joining them is the real issue. All in Play has its new game for those like word games. That cool and they are trying to put out other then cards games. What I like to see is more casino games. There where the sighted and blind can play casino games and the one that I would want for is Craps. The do not yet have a dice game yet and Craps would be so cool. Players would have turn at their chances to roll, while others can place their side bets. Lastly what about a horse racing game. I am down the road wanting to test out a game for horse racing to see if my text reader can handle it. But if All in play makes one instead of tables there can be tracks. Where gamers place their bets. Then the race with bot horses race with sound effects. You can even have gamers own horses. Any commets on these ideas please create a new tread.

For example if I press the 1 through 0 on my keyboard to see what cards are in my hand Sapi would announce only my cards, in my hand, and not brodcast it across the network to the other players. It would only brodcast to the other players if you specifically designed your game to announce to each player what I was doing. About the only thing that would need to get broadcast to the other players is that player 1, Tom Ward, has drawn a new card, discarded an old card, or I played a card and the new face up card on the deck is 9 green or something like that. In this respect it isn't much different than writing for a computer player except you are taking out the A.I. part and allowing real human players to make all the decisions. I know none of your games are network playable,and why you have drawn the wrong conclusions here. However, I just thought I would point out that what Ann wants is certainly doable from a programming standpoint, and that not everything done in a network game is broadcast to everyone else unless the developer makes it do that. Smile. Cheers. Jim Kitchen wrote: Hi Ann, You know other than on line like at AllInPlay, I am not sure how one would write any multiple player card game.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games News 5/1/2008.
Thanks Tom for the update. Crash - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 11:29 AM Subject: [Audyssey] USA Games News 5/1/2008. USA Games News May 1, 2008 Introduction Greetings gamers, I know it has been a long time since USA Games has said anything official about our products and services, but I personally felt that a news release was well over do. We have a lot going on, and USA Games for the most part has spent the last three months in a period of research and testing. We have experimented with a wide range of technologies, looked into several operating systems, researched several devices, and now have concluded our research. All of it was time well spent. One of the major points of our research was the feasibility and the practicality of creating accessible games for Windows, Mac, Linux, and cell phones. While our researched results showed it was certainly possible using Java, Python, etc it quickly became apparent that creating accessible games on non-Windows platforms and devices is not very practical. The game development tools are less advanced on Mac and Linux, and we would not be able to deliver a game such as USA Raceway to those platforms without dropping some of its selling features such as support for force feedback racing wheels, virtual 3D audio support, built in MS Sapi 5 support, etc. We felt the loss of these features were simply an unacceptable compromise. Besides the technical aspects of targeting non-Windows platforms and devices we needed to look at the non-Windows user base. What we found in looking at the Orca mailing list for Linux and the Mac Visionaries list is that there are very few exclusive Mac or Linux users out there. The majority of Mac and Linux users out there still use Windows as well as Mac OS or Linux. I myself choose to use Linux for my home business needs using apps like Open Office rather than MS Office, Evolution for appointments rather than MS Outlook, etc. When I want to play games, manage family photos, edit sound effects, watch dvds I turn to my laptop which is running Vista. Bottom line a lot of blind users out there are doing the same kind of thing. Which forced me to conclude that from a strictly financial view there isn't much money to be gained by targeting Mac and Linux directly since most users still have access to Windows for this or that application anyway. Yeah, I can understand the Mac and Linux users desire to have Mac and Linux games, but it isn't currently financially or technically appealing to a game company such as USA Games at this time. During our research we did examine some cell phones owned by friends and family members doing some initial testing for accessible games. The main problem we discovered was memory. The cell phones we looked at didn't have large amounts of memory so whatever we made would have to take that into consideration. Since we are mainly going to break into the First Person Action games with our Genesis 3D engine we want to be able to have realistic virtual 3D audio support. With the Windows DirectSound and XAudio2 libraries that isn't a problem. The cell phones we looked at didn't have anything remotely like that which wouldn't do for our current game projects. Then, the cell phones we looked at had very small buttons. Different button layouts aside the cell phones I personally examined had extremely small buttons and touch pads. I'm not an expert on cell phones, but I felt from an accessibility standpoint if cell phones buttons are going to be so small and difficult to feel there is a lot of room for error and difficulty in playing games with complex button layouts. Perhaps there are other cell phones with better buttons, but the ones I examined I didn't like. In conclusion I felt simple games like Monopoly, Checkers, Text Adventures, card games, and so on would work fine on a cell phone. If the game was going to be a USA Raceway, Shades of Doom, or something like that the cell phone is impractical for that kind of game. Since USA games doesn't have an interest in writing text adventures, card games, and board games we won't be targeting cell phones at this time. Finally, one of the major reasons we started our research in the first place is back in November 2007 Microsoft announced they were dropping development support for Managed DirectX 9.0C. As all of our games are based on that very technology we needed to know what alternatives were out there for us. We also wanted to know, do to major changes in DirectX, where the mainstream gaming market is heading. While we currently are focused on delivering support for Windows XP and Vista we would also like to think a little ahead and make sure we can support the next Windows operating system, code named Windows 7, when it is released sometime in 2010. Seeing what changes are currently
[Audyssey] BALL is up and Flying
We have done it! The first ever inclusive blind fantasy Draft baseball League has been launched. The Blind Accessible Liberty League (BALL) had the first ever accessible Live! draft! A draft that is live and having a draft clock, allowing managers of the league to draft by a clock and been done! BALL a league of 8 blind managers completed its first week of competition. A few bugs been worked with the help of Richard aka Bean on this list. Richard the manager who's team is called the Blind Bombers is pitted against my Hog Butchers this week. Thanks Richard for your help in making BALL a flying success. The manager of the Lancing Capitals, Gary W. scored the highest points in the first week with 293. He will find the other 20 weeks in our schedule as stiff competitive as the first week. All 8 managers including Moony, known on as on FTP, or Amanda our lone female manager a tough bunch of baseball fans to up against in this first ever blind fantasy Baseball League ran by and for the blind. As the Men's College Basketball Championship pool closed with the winner being Steve, BALL is my honor to bring to the blind community. To see the results of the basketball tourney for the blind just hop on the link below. http://playball.ws Then click on the link Ruffle the Buffalo, to see the final standings. IN six months we will find who will be the first person to be crown king of Blind Accessible Liberty League. Certain a great honor. To keep tabs on this historical event enter on the link below: http://www.fanstarbaseball.com/baseball/blindaccessi/index.php As commissioner of BALL I see its future as being bright as the league will grow over time and even prizes to be award. Now that I have nearly five years in bring accessible pools like basketball, football and baseball playoff, I am considering that its time to make the grand prizes not come from my pocket, but from other blind Organizations. I have the confidence in my learned skills as a blind pool master, to bring the blindaccessibles pools to a higher level. Where more members and better pay offs can be done. For BALL only being one year old at season end, it too will give me time to learn and develop needed commissioner skills to bring sponsorship to it as well. Ron you have my OK to use this email in your mag. Thanks again to Bean and all those historical managers of BALL. I have to go and prepare for my James Bond event on FTP at 8:30pm ET in the CrashMan Theater. A Shameless promotion.
