Hello Dark, L o l That is one of my favorite quotes, and I think that it fits this post just fine. I think that if more people whent by that quote that there would be a lot less flame wars.

With the recent discussion of grammar and spelling I thought perhaps people would appreciate the following, which a friend sent me a very long time ago but which I kept for amusement value: Rules for Writers - 1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects. 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. 4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. 5. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.) 6. Be more or less specific. 7. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary. 8. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies. 9. No sentence fragments. 10. Don't use no double negatives. 11.

Re: [Audyssey] Crazy drivers
Hello Ken, So far the game sounds good, but what I would do is not worry about how much you can charge, but just wright it for your liking and what you would like to see in a game. Then when it's all done I would make a mp3 or something like that, post it and see what people think of it then and how much they would pay after they get a taste of it. or even better a demo copy. Maybe of a level or two, but like I said that is just how I would go about it. bfn James --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Crazy drivers
hI Ken, So far from what you have told me the game sounds very cool. with out trying it I would pay $10 at most. What I would look into is setting a timer to close out the game in a demo. Like set it for 5 or 10 minits. just to give people a feel for the game and what it has to offer. If the game is as good as you say then you can get at least $15 for it or better. bfn James --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hello Thomas, I know that it would be damn near inpossible to do so, but it won't stop me from dreaming of the day that something like that will be. It sounds like Draconis Entertainment has the right idea. I just wish more would do so. bfn James -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 10:56 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Star Mule Hi James, Oh, that'll be the day. There is no way anything like that will ever happen because there are too many incompatibilities between programming languages and platforms to ever make something like that likely. Writing something like that would be very expensive and time consuming, and there would still require some human intervention at some point to fix things the conversion tool didn't correctly convert. The best answer is to come up with a decent cross-platform design in the first place. For example, Draconis Entertainment has written themselves a decent cross-platform engine that allows them to support Mac and Windows with the same language, tools, and APIs which makes a complete rewrite or conversion tool unnecessary. If more developers did things that way it would go a long way to resolving the issue of platform incompatibilities. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] building in the storm 8 games.
Hello Charles, I'm Using JAWS 14. As far as a spell checker I've tried to do a google search for one. I found some, but the problem I keep running into is they ether don't work with JAWS or they just flat out suck and only will correct a 8th of what is wrong with my spelling. So it just takes up more space then it's worth. I'm using my old computer till November. When I will have the money to get a new hard drive for my new one. The computer I'm using now only has about 5gb free space, it only has a 60gb hard drive in it. Till then I'll just have to do it the old way and just keep playing around with the word till it sounds close enough to the proper spelling. bfn James -- From: Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 12:44 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] building in the storm 8 games.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Mule
Hello there: It's a cool little game to pass the time. I'll play it when I have sometime to kill, but not much to get into a game that will get me caught up into it to deep.

There is the defunked Chillingham by Bavisoft, and there is Zompocalypse by L-Works. As far as text games goes one of the best for this time of year is Night of the Midnight Sun. At least I believe that is the name. Its about an adventurer who tries to slay Dracula, and along the way he/she encounters an ice monster, a undead pirate, rats, etc. Right now I am playing Alter Aeon which is full of demons, imps, zombies, blood ooze, skeletons, etc. So you might want to consider that as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Halloween games.
Hello Dark Thanks for sharing those links. I sined up with Choose your story. I Think that is a cool site. There are lots of games on there. bfn James -- From: dark d...@xgam.org Sent: Friday, September 27, 2013 11:55 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Halloween games. Well, if we're talking text games too, there are several really spine chilling gamebooks on http://www.ffproject.com/ There is House of Horror and Curse of drumer, both of which take place in a very freeky haunted house, there is also Soul tracker in which you play a hard as nails professional ghost hunter. Toomb of the Ancients, Garden of Bones and Bad moon rising all involve breaking into toombs full of undead skeletons and bad necromancers. Lastly there is Hellfire, where you enter a labyrinth trying to slay a demon of chaos, which apart from being amazingly hard is also the most down right disturbing gamebook I've ever played! really, even though I'm pretty hardened to blood and guts there are some descriptions in Hellfire and ways to die that just made me gouuur! it's awesom, in a rather disturbing way :D. Another site for choice based games is http://www.chooseyourstory.com/ this is a little bit problematic since it offers the tools for members to write their own stories and there is frankly a lot of drek, however there are some great horror type things. In particular I would highly recommend the 2000 page zombocalypse Dead man walking! it's pretty awesome if you want a more hands on experience than swamp in an interactive choice based text game. Lastly, if you have an iphone, choiceofgames http://www.choiceofgames.com/ have several good adventures about zombies, vampires and the like, both produced by them, and in their hosted games where they let other authors use their choice scripting to create games. I've heard very good things about both choiceofzombies and zombie exodus, and they also have two vampire themed games which I've not tried. Actually thinking about the Iphone, you couldn't go wrong with the two audio adventure/action games papasangre, and the Nightja from http://www.papasangre.com/ both are pretty spooky in different ways, pappasangre being a wander through a Mexican afterlife of the undead, and The Nightjar being a survival horror on a monster filled spacecraft like aliens. Papasangre particularly is noteable for it's lovely grim death sequences, and need to creap around some pretty strange monsters. Lastly of course thinking about audio games, you can't go wrong with good old Shades of Doom, indeed back in 2005, it was the screams, the echowing foot steps, the vil sound of the monsters and the horror atmosphere that not only made me enthusiastic about the game but about audio games in general. Yes, we have seen distinct advances in fps games, and Shades does seem a little limited in it's objects and enemies now, but for pure atmosphere and being well put together you just can't fault it.

Also in alter I know there is a chanal for mush-z, I'm not shore if there is a chanal for vipmud. what I would do is ask around on the gossip or newbie chanals to see if they have one. As far as help have you tried the newbie chanal? There is also the in game help command. Just in case you don't know how to use that command what you do is type help followed by what you want help on, It works very good for spells and skills, but there are lots more on the help pages. hth James A.

Games we wouldn't like to play: by Phil Vlasak. Game Over: The world's shortest cool audio game for IOS. Well, there's not much to say about it other than I love the voice. You just need to turn Voiceover off, listen, and touch the screen, and the rest will make sense. It's a nice small 10 second game which is enjoyable to play through the first one hundred times. Developer: WaterOnTheBrain Productions Description: A game that takes place entirely through sound. Over is a piece of extremely short experimental storytelling. The narrative is told from the point of view of an angry man in an authoritarian society. The game voice says Game Started. then it takes five seconds examining you through your camera, microphone and motion sensor. It detects your breathing, heart rate, eye dilation and expression, determining if you are worthy to continue. If you are not up to this challenge, the game will simply say, Game Over. Most people are not in the correct state of Zen. What is the purpose of a game that most cann't play? It teaches you the futility of life, that no matter what you do eventually, the, game, is, over. Features: Stunning Retina-ready HD graphics. Up to ten seconds of game play. Some angry guy talking at you. No In-App Purchases, ratings nagging, or other interruptions. No badges, achievements, or integration with game center. Makes you feel like a sophisticated patron of the minimalist arts. A serious, emotionally draining plot line. You'll look silly while you poke at the screen and yell, trying to find out how to get the game to play.

This means old Dos games like the PCs Panzers in North Africa, Kick Boxing, PCs Monopoly, and Any Night Football wouldn't work. Also Eamon Deluxe doesn't work on Windows 8 either. However, the majority of audio games such as those from GMA, Draconis, L-Works, etc will work on Windows 8 once you reconfigure User Account Control, install VB 6, and basically install some older components that don't come with Windows 8. So in terms of older accessible games the loss is rather small. As for the rest of the software you are running that depends on how new it is, and when it was last updated etc. Obviously, there are some things like Jaws that needs to be running at least version 14 to work reasonable with Windows 8. Openbook needs to be upgraded to version 9 or later for newer versions of Windows as well. If you use say Nero you'll need a fairly current version as anything released before 8.0 or so won't work at all on Windows 7 or Windows 8. As far as Microsoft Office I think the minimum version that will run on Windows 8 is Office 2003. I don't know since I have Office 2007 and it works okay on Windows 8. I expect you may have to upgrade some software, but that comes with the territory. Many things will work okay, and some things won't. However, when it specifically coms to audio games most games I have tried I've managed to get working on Windows 8. Ironically, the only audio game I couldn't get working was STFC, the version on my web site, but I have a new one in development to take care of that problem. :D Cheers!

I was only joking. I wouldn't actually do that precisely for that reason. USA Games needs to make money, and unfortunately we are held hostage to a user base that will not upgrade to a newer OS for whatever reason. The only thing we can do as developers is try to support both as for as long as we can , and when that is no longer possible then we have to make a judgment based on what will be best for the product long term rather than the short term. I can tell you right now selecting XP because it has the most customers right now is not good in the long term, because in five to ten years that situation will likely change. People will be running something a lot newer than XP, and they will thank me for supporting the new platform rather than developing for XP and not taking in account any thought about tomorrow. Let's give you an example, and I am truly interested to get your point of view on this. I know you bought Raceway and Montezuma's Revenge through preorder sales. You'll be getting copies of them when it is released. However, imagine that PC you have breaks down and you decide to go out and buy a new computer with Windows 8 on it.

Tbh, I highly doubt that'll still be happening now, what with Mountain Lion running everything in 64-bit by default. Even if it is still the case, I'll eat my hat if it can still be done by the time most of the XP hanger-onners actually attempt to make the switch. Of course, XP can still be installed and run via VmWare Fusion now, and that'll be the same for years to come seeing as maximum compatibility is one of the things that keeps VmWare in business. Fusion will work a treat for the officy tasks that are still kinda clunky or simply not doable with VoiceOver, and will probably also keep some people content in terms of gaming, but you'll definitely feel the difference when running any newer ttitles that tax the system more through Fusion. For what it's worth, the accessibility, length of support and rampant capitalism on display doesn't seem any better or worse if you put your fate in Apples hands.

We know that it has been a very long time since our last news letter, and we felt it was a good time to send out a new one. So here we are with news and information about USA Games and our products. First, we would like to thank all of you who participated in our informal survey regarding the USA Games Evolution Engine a few days ago. We really valued your comments and suggestions, and your responses really helped give us some direction regarding our engine. More on that later. Second, I would like to state that I am personally doing a lot better than I have been for a long time. Just to recap last year I had a number of health related issues from the common cold to a more serious situation where I fell down while getting out of the bathtub and seriously injured my neck. After many months of rest and therapy I am now doing better than I have been in months. Although, I am not 100% back to normal I am able to get up and do some programming, and am slowly but surely getting our development back on some sort of schedule. I can not say for sure when any of our products will be ready for release, but it should be enough to know I am once again working on them. Evolution 3D A couple of days ago I sent out an informal survey regarding the future of the Evolution Engine. The basic point of the survey was to figure out if potential third-party game developers wanted it to remain primarily a C++ based engine as it is now, or if they wanted us to branch out into .NET or Python. The majority of you felt keeping it as a C++ library was the best option, and that it was not really in our best interests to put out a .NET or Python based engine at this time. This has really helped us feel satisfied that the direction we are heading is a good one for us and our customers, and for the foreseeable future we will continue to keep the Evolution Engine as a C++ library and will likely license it more as a C++ API rather than an engine as such. There are of course many good reasons to keep it as a C++ based library rather than rewrite it as a .NET library or as a Python module. The main one is we have already put more than two years into development, the engine library is stable, and rewriting it would only delay its release. For that reason alone it makes sense to keep what we have and license that. The other reasons include easier access to libraries and APIs for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Most libraries out there are designed for C or C++, and while there are usually wrappers for .NET or Python that is not always the case. In cases where there aren't available wrappers we would have to spend time writing them to make them available to our .NET or Python engine when they are instantly available to an engine written in C++. Factor in better performance, better security, and less dependencies need to be installed we are pretty sure the community is right. Keeping our engine written in C++ has many advantages and few disadvantages. The only downside to this is that it has a higher learning curve for new developers, but that could be overcome with some decent guides and documentation. After all, one of the purposes of writing the Evolution Engine was to simplify access to things like speech, input, sound, and so forth. All of those things are wrapped using wrapper classes that make it simple to get a basic game up and running in a few ours in C++ as all the low-level code for things like DirectInput, DirectSound, Sapi, etc is wrapped up in quick and easy to use classes. While not quite as easy as BGT, for example, it still would not be nearly as hard as doing it all from scratch. As many of you probably know all of our commercial games like Tomb Hunter and Raceway are written using the Evolution Engine, and it is fairly stable. So I think once we figure out a few things we may begin

However, for some reason it didn't last too long. I think Microsoft, shall we call them Microshaft, probably put an end to the Winblows software by threatening to sue them into the ground like they always do with anyone and anything that remotely borrows the Windows trademark. For example, a few years ago a developer came up with a novel idea of merging Windows and Linux into the same operating system and called it Lindows. They took Linux as the core OS but wrote a custom Windows emulator on top so it would run Windows flagship applications like Office, Internet Explorer, etc on top of Linux. Plus the desktop looked a lot like MS Windows too. Of course, the idea was probably too good. Microsoft and their lawyers descended on them like a pack of lions and sued Lindows into the stone age. long with them having to change their name to Linspire certain elements that made the OS attractive to a Windows user such as the Windows look and feel had to be scrapped in order to comply with copyright law. However, I digress. Anyway, I am not sure what happend to the Winblows games, desktop themes, etc but I am pretty sure Microsoft shut them down. Although, it was funny while it lasted. LOL. Cheers!

The truth is I got all those nutty names from a program for Windows 98 that was essentially a joke desktop theme. They called it Microshaft Winblows,and when you installed the Winblows desktop theme pack it changed all the icons to funny names like Internet Exploder for Internet Explorer, Outlook Distress for Outlook Express, changed the Windows splashscreen to Winblows 98, and funny things like that. It also came with some gag games like a dart board with Bill Gates face on it, and a couple of other games like that. It was hilarious, and I guess over the years a lot of that stuff just stuck with me. Cheers! On 8/30/13, Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com wrote: Winblows? Is that anything like Internet Exploder?

Another possibility: If you know the one that you want, is it possible to use first letter navigation to locate it?

As many of you know for a while now I have been developing a WWE wrestling game in Python, that is largely text based, but one problem is not all the performers can fit on the same screen when selecting the challenger or the opponent for the match. As the database of male and female performers grows this problem will only get worse. Now, there are two ways of handling this issue. The way a sighted developer would handle this is they would table all the options on the screen into columns and rows rather than put them in a vertical list like this. Select the challenger. 1. Steve Austin 2. Daniel Bryan 3. John Cena 4. Christian 5. Ted DiBiase Jr. 6. Edge 7. Mark Henry 8. Kane Now, obviously the advantage of doing it this way is I could conceivably squeeze a huge database of performers onto a single screen simply by placing them into a table instead of a vertical list. I should be able to place somewhere between 50 and 60 performers onto a single screen. My concern though is that it will take more work reviewing the screen to find the option for the performer you want to play as you'd basically have to examine the entire table to find out that a certain performer is number 36 out of 50 possibilities. The alternative is I could create a vertical list of performers, but split it up over several screens. That means if a database of challengers had 60 performers you would get the first 20, press enter, see the next 20, press enter again, and get the last 20 performers. In some aspect sits more accessible, but I don't like it because I'd rather see as many performers as possible on the same screen. So any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas? Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Ok, you asked for it, grin. My favorite at the moment is tactical battles. It is both a wargame and highly customizable, so that it covers any genre you want to create with it. Also, entombed is a very close second. I suspect any rpg game would be an instant favorite for me. The customization of TB inches entombed out of first place for me. I suspect I would like time of conflict, but I have to sit down and actually play it. I think I don't right now, cause I would probably get hooked on it and there isn't enough time in the day to do everything I want, lol. Other games I find myself playing more often then not are a lot of the spoonbill games, like uno, word target, battleship, etc. I also like some of Jim Kitchen's games, especially monopoly and life. I really like star trek final conflict, and I always figure out something new that makes the game more fun every time. Are you compileing a list of top ten games or something? Or is this an appeal to have programmers focus on style of games? Just curious. Well, that's about it.

I think it's good practice to have your methods only doing what they say they will. I.E. movement only moves. Collision detection only detects collisions. this way if you want to move your player for some other reason than a traditional game movement, you can always call your player's movement methods and not need to worry about some other method getting called somewhere to get in the way of what you'd like to do. Does this make sense? Your collision detection method can either report back which objects collided, or simply call the appropriate methods on those objects that collided with each other. For example, if two objects collide, then call the touch methods on each of those objects. That way each object will do what it is supposed to when it is touched by another object. Hope this helps!

I think we are all prone to a bit of misinformation from time to time like accidentally supplying the wrong web site or email address when asked, and there is no harm done to anyone. Its a mistake, and the poster can apologize and move on.. Its an entirely different situation when a poster tries to answer a question of which he or she obviously knows nothing about the subject being discussed and someone else who knows better has to go back and set the record straight. That kind of misinformation is just irritating, wastes everyone's time, and shouldn't be aloud to continue on list. Cheers!

You lost me a bit there when discussing the utensils and I know what inheritance is. When discussing inheritance and multiple inheritance I think any examples should be as simple as possible to get the salient points across. That's why I prefer to use animals as a talking point. For example, a master class might be called animal. It would have functions for walk, swim, have hair color, etc. A subclass or child class of animal would inherit the functionality of animal, but add or build special functionality on top of it. Say a dog class would add pant, bark, wag tail, wine, etc. A cat subclass would inherit the animal class, but add special functionality like purr, meow, hiss, and so on. Each starts with animal as a base class, but builds on it and gets more specialized as you work your way down through the different levels. If I really wanted to I could further divide my code up into a master class like animal, then have a mammal subclass, with cat, dog, and rabbit, as child classes of mammal. That's the easiest way I know of to explain inheritance. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Intro to game engine creation
Hello Thank you for sharing that. It made lots of cence. bfn James -- From: Cara Quinn caraqu...@caraquinn.com Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 1:46 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Intro to game engine creation Hi All, -Thought I'd take a few minutes and write a very light introductory note about the creation of a game engine, as this topic has come up from time to time. this is just my own style so feel free to contribute or critique. :) People have asked of late about classes and how to organize them. I.E. Player classes and such. Let me start at the beginning. • the game loop this is essentially the heart of any game with any kind of real-time actions. The game loop is simply a loop which does only a few things over and over and over again. An example might be: Start of loop render entities etc Get player input Perform physics / collision detection etc) end loop that's essentially it. So what are entities? I define entities as all of the elements within the game, and possibly even the game world itself. This means the player, the items, the game's characters. So the first thing in my loop is to render everything in the game that needs to be updated every frame. A frame is one pass of the game loop. So everything is displayed (video or audio) then we get the player's input. Lastly I process the states of all of the entities and then when the loop comes around again, everything is rendered in it's new state. So that is essentially what keeps your game going. Depending on the player input, the game may be paused, saved, ended etc. When those things happen, the game loop is stopped and appropriate methods are called. Also, when the game starts, the game loop does not just start automatically. Maybe you'll see or hear a logo of some sort, then perhaps go through a menu structure to set up your game. Once that happens, the game world might then be set up by loading a map or some sort of file. Usually then, you'd be ready to start your game loop and the action for the level would begin. So where would the game loop and all this code live? For me, I like to create a game class where the game loop would be placed. From the game class, you would start your game and initiate your pre-game menus etc and eventually start your game loop. Make sense? • Entities You can think of entities as your most basic game elements. I.E. every single thing which exists in your game is an entity. Everything in the game, and even the game world itself can be considered an entity if you choose. So, your entity class needs to be really generic while still providing all of the basics that everything in your game needs. So what would this look like? Well, everything needs a shape and a place to exist. So I might define a position and bounding box or sphere. In the case of the world, I might have a shape defined by importing a map file. entities also need to be able to move if they want to, so you'll need to add methods in them to reposition them. they also need to perform artificial intelligence (AI) as well as perform actions. Lastly, they need to respond to touches. I.E. what happens when other entities come into contact with them? What do they do? to create an entity class which satisfies these requirements you can add both variables and functions (or methods) which all of the game elements can draw from to do what they need to. In fact, since all elements of our game share the entity class, we call that inheritance. All game items and creatures and such all inherit from the entity class. Think of the entity class as being the parent of all other game elements. So this means that the variables and methods in the entity class are all able to be used by every other class which inherits from Entity. Does this make sense? If we add a variable called health to our Entity class, then every class which is an entity will have health. Each entity may use that health amount differently, but they all have their own amount of health. If Entity can move using a move method, then every class which is an Entity can also move. Now each class may be able to move in a different way, but they all share the basic ability to move. I think that's all I'll touch on for now. I know, this one was short. :) -Getting sleepy so I'll leave further discussion for another day. :) Hope this makes sense and that others will share their own style / tips etc. Night All and thanks for reading!

By Salvador Rodriguez August 7, 2013, 7:30 a.m. Apple has rejected a game app that scores players on how high they can toss their smartphone in the air. The game, Send Me To Heaven, launched this week and is available free for Android smartphones. IPhone users, however, will not be able to download the app. Apple thought it was violating one of the rules for submission as it was encouraging behavior which could lead to a damage of iOS device, Petr Svarovsky, the game's developer, said in an email to The Times. Send Me To Heaven, which Apple said was rejected for violating one of its App Store guidelines, describes itself as a sports game since it takes skill to throw and catch the device without breaking it. The app calculates how high you throw it using the device's accelerometer. If you try to cheat and throw your phone off of a tall building, the app will know and show you an error message. Using a parachute or a rocket will not bring desired result either, Svarovsky said. Svarovsky said it's important users throw their devices in a way that doesn't cause them to rotate in the air or else they might get a score of zero. But before users can start throwing their phones, the app warns them to be careful not to injure yourself or others. Be always aware that there is enough space above you and around you, the app says on Google Play. Do some training to learn right skills to get best results. The game also requires that users agree to a disclaimer before they start playing. The disclaimer says that the user agrees the game developer is not liable for any damages or injuries caused by playing the game. Though the game is obviously risky -- and some would say foolish -- to play, what with most smartphones costing several hundred dollars, Send Me To Heaven has received many positive user ratings. Out of 101 ratings, it has 76 five-star ratings, the highest score users can give an app on Google Play. Almost broke mine playing, but it's fun to pass the time with, said one user who gave the app a five-star rating. Not even trying for the high score anymore, it is straight up phone-suicide. salvador.rodrig...@latimes.com --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

I don't hardly think so. The developer obviously has a screw loose or has lots of money to throw away on dangerous activities. Cheers!

By Salvador Rodriguez August 7, 2013, 7:30 a.m. Apple has rejected a game app that scores players on how high they can toss their smartphone in the air. The game, Send Me To Heaven, launched this week and is available free for Android smartphones. IPhone users, however, will not be able to download the app. Apple thought it was violating one of the rules for submission as it was encouraging behavior which could lead to a damage of iOS device, Petr Svarovsky, the game's developer, said in an email to The Times. Send Me To Heaven, which Apple said was rejected for violating one of its App Store guidelines, describes itself as a sports game since it takes skill to throw and catch the device without breaking it. The app calculates how high you throw it using the device's accelerometer. If you try to cheat and throw your phone off of a tall building, the app will know and show you an error message. Using a parachute or a rocket will not bring desired result either, Svarovsky said. Svarovsky said it's important users throw their devices in a way that doesn't cause them to rotate in the air or else they might get a score of zero. But before users can start throwing their phones, the app warns them to be careful not to injure yourself or others. Be always aware that there is enough space above you and around you, the app says on Google Play. Do some training to learn right skills to get best results. The game also requires that users agree to a disclaimer before they start playing. The disclaimer says that the user agrees the game developer is not liable for any damages or injuries caused by playing the game. Though the game is obviously risky -- and some would say foolish -- to play, what with most smartphones costing several hundred dollars, Send Me To Heaven has received many positive user ratings. Out of 101 ratings, it has 76 five-star ratings, the highest score users can give an app on Google Play. Almost broke mine playing, but it's fun to pass the time with, said one user who gave the app a five-star rating. Not even trying for the high score anymore, it is straight up phone-suicide. salvador.rodrig...@latimes.com --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
