[Audyssey] Old Game called Gold Runner?
I would like to discuss with someone on this list...offlist...an old game called Gold Runner. I remember this game from when I still had eyesight and it was a most challenging game.

[Audyssey] DarkBasic Game programming Language
Hello everyone. I have seen alot of discussion on this list about the best language to program a game for the blind in. Some say C++ and others say Visual Basic 6 or VB.Net. I am taking a different path. this weekend while yard saling with a friend I ran across a table of software somone was getting rid of as their son was in the service and asked them to get rid of his old stuff. One of the items I bought for $5 was Dark Basic Pro..I think it is version 6.1? This is the software that lets a novice make a game and compile it down to an .EXE file they can share with friends. I have installed this software with my Jaws 9 system and so far it seem to be accessible? I am currently downloading all sample code and tips I can find to help me to start programming in this language. I have no books with the disk so I am going to be trying this slowly. What I have seen of the language so far seems pretty easy to understand even without any books. If anyone can point me to a place to buy a book for this I would appreciate it? Could there be a book on the disks I have not found so far? Has anyone else bought this and played with it? Are there any lists I can subscribe to for help on this programming language? thanks for any help you can offer. When I get my first program started I will find a place to upload it for others to check out.

Re: [Audyssey] DarkBasic Game programming Language
I have loaded in a simple shooter game in Dark Basic and am looking at the code. The audio commands seem quite easy and they support panning... and volume control...also support playing a sound file once or multiple times. also seems to be a command for playing midi files. The program is most definitely for sighted persons...lots of stuff dealing with 3D objects..meshes... Mapping pictures onto objects and atmospheric effects. Also stuff dealing with physics and terrain. I am going to ignore all that wonderful crap and just deal with the sound/music commands. I may compile the shooter and upload the sample program somewhere soon. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] RISK or STRATEGO?
A year ago I went looking for source code to try to write a Risk game for the blind. I found one Risk game that had a most unique capability. Instead of playing just the standard Risk world game board...it had the ability to load in other designed play maps. Some of them were the USS Enterprise and the Battlestar Galactica. I thought how cool would that game be but was not able to find any source code for the game or get code from the designer. I am still toying witht he idea of doing the game as it was one of the games I truly enjoyed when I still had sight. but the problem is twofold. Write it for multiple users thru the internet...a programming capability I am still learning. Write it with artificial intelligence so you could play multiple computer opponents...but this is truly out of my ability at the moment. I don't even know what books to go get and read to try to do AI right now.

Re: [Audyssey] multiple player game
Hello Jim, awhile back I talked to you about writing a game in VB6. The game was based on the 2-4 player card game called, Racko.

Re: [Audyssey] good news: shades of doom
Hello there, I came into this thread a bit late...so I had to go back and read alot of old messages to get the feel for what is going on here. My experience to some of what is being discussed goes like this: I used to live with a girlfriend in my house. I also played shades of doom. she is a born again christian as am I. she was a bit miffed I was playing this shooting game. here is how I settled the matter. As I am totally blind..I turned my monitor off. even if she walks by my open door, she will not know what I am doing. as many of these games are very specific about what direction a sound comes at you from, I got a very nice pair of headphones to wear when I play any game. so once again, even when she is standing in my room talking to me..she has no idea what I am doing unless I have the volume on the head phones turned way up high. I consider this leveling the playfield. when she is on her computer I have no idea what she is doing as she turns her speakers off. I can't see or hear what she is doing and she can't see or hear what I am doing. No problem here...grin. religion and computer games can co-exist.

Re: [Audyssey] game arcades in shopping malls and cafes
I am not sure if there are as many arcade room out there anymore. Home computer systems...playstations and ms XBox systems have really given them a beating. Most of the older games took a single quarter. When I had sight I spent alot of time in one of them near to my house. the most awesome games were ones where you could play 2 or 4 players against each other. I loved playing Gauntlet! it was a 4 sided system. One big screen in the middle facing up, and 4 players at east, west, north, and south playing against each other. there was another one I loved. Can't recall its name just yet. But you had two Uzi machine guns on the front of the box. You had to shoot enemy vehicles...and there were buzzards that would fly thru, if you shot them you got the extra bullet cart they carreid and then dropped. Missile command was awesome too! a track ball moved an x on the screen where you would hit one of 3 buttons to shoot from city 1, 2, 3 at the incoming missiles. One game I liked had you sit on the top of a motorcycle and race it on the screen in front of you. The cycle could tilt so you really got in the curves close for a faster run. There was a submarine game that had you look thru a periscope to shoot at ships passing over you. Marble madness was another trackball game. You had to race a ball down a maze avoiding monsters, acid pools and other hazards by rolling the trackball in the direction you wished the marble on the screen to roll. Sometimes to get the marble to change direction you really had to give the trackball 2 good rolls to change direction. Some of the Jet plane games had you use a high tech joystick. Some had 8 buttons on it. some were for defense and others were offensive. One terminator shooter game I played also had a nice machine gun on it. Even had option to shoot a grenade. as games got more advanced, the cost went up from a single quarter to 3-4 quarters per game. the erly big draw games were pacman, missile command, space invaders, and asteroids. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Smarter than a 5th Grader?
Hello all, Last week I bought a game called Are you smarter than a fifth grader for Windows. Got it at Target for $5.00 Installed on my ladies laptop and we have been playing it all week. I am going to try to put on my desktop tomorrow to see if it is Jaws usable. there is a part in the game where a question is shown on the screen and my lady read the question and multiple answers to me. I am hoping this can be done with Jaws. there is also a part where you pick your character to play in the game. Male or female..and then from a choice of multiple male or female characters. this part may not be Jaws friendly. Not sure if you can skip this part either. I'll let you folks know more tomorrow.

Re: [Audyssey] work around for realtech hd cards

I googled this and found out thousands of folks had the same problem. I had to disable the onboard chip and put in a yamaha sound card to fix the problem. if you could steer me to the driver you say you use and it works fine, then I might like to go back to the onboard sound chip. it would be nice to get my PCI slot back for some other use. thanks for any help you can offer. r_montow...@yahoo.com Robert --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Winfrotz restore game?
Hello all, I have un-installed Winfrotz TTS and put it back in again today. I started up PlanetFall and then tried to restore a saved game. is there some sort of restriction on what type name you give a stored game? Perhaps the old DOS 8.3 name restriction? I pointed the program to a folder Called Save..and when I hit enter on it..it says no files found..and there are 5 saved games in this folder. with names like Planet_Balcony, Planet_robot, and Planet_Toolroom with extensions of .Sav is anyone else using WinFrotz TTS and able to explain to me how to load in a saved game to pick up where I left off? g...I love this stuff, but hate dealing with little quirks like this...sigh. I tried to just load in the WinFrotz emulator with no speach.. I opened Planetfall.Z5 and then switched to Jaws cursor mode and found no text on the screen other than the top menu and the status bar.

I did a game save in Planetfall and I called it: Planet_Elevator, and the saved file name was Planet_Elevator_%286BAD33%_.sav I was able to load this game back in with the restore command.

I am not sure if we can play this game, but it miight be possible with OCR. Word Jumble works like this: you get 4-6 words that are all jumbled up. as you unscramble each word you write it into a box next to the scramble word. this area of small boxes might also contain some circles. after you unscramble all the words..you take the letters that are in all the circles and unscramble them to make the final word. this word solves a riddle printed beneath a cartoon that is next to all the scrambled words. First go to this link: http://www.uclickgames.com/jumble/online/daily/tmjmf after the page loads look for a link called jumble daily or daily jumble. click on it. when the next page loads look for the word previous. move your virtual cursor over the letter P at eh beginning of this word. then route the Jaws cursor to the virtual cursor. now we need to move the Jaws cursor in small increments till we find the puzzle. this is done with Jaws by hitting the shift key/alt key/left arrow key. and shift key/alt key/down arrow key. we need to move to the left a small bit and then down a small bit. I have found that a combination of 2 lefts and then 2 downs, sometimes 3 lefts and 3 downs works out perfectly. but start with 2 lefts and then 2 down arrows first. after moving the jaws cursor right click on that spot. if the context menu has a zoom in and zoom out, congrats, you found the puzzle. if not..then go to top of page and repeat the procedure above. if you see zoom in/zoom out on this menu..look for print and print the puzzle to hand to whomever you wish. why did I go thru all this? I wanted to buy a book of these puzzles to give a buddy. the book was not all that thick and cost $10.99 with this procedure I can re-create such a book in 3 weeks of daily logging in and printing on my own. we might even be able to play this word jumble with OCR? I will have to try this next. there is also a kids version of the jumble on this page too. I am pretty sure the same printing method will work on the kid's puzzle. So go print some free puzzle sto impress your friends and family.

Re: [Audyssey] accessable deal or no deal
Hello there, I have downloaded the Visual Basic 6 source code from the net for Deal or No Deal. Right now it is not very accesible. I am digitizing sound bits from the real show to put into the game and will try to get a blind accesible version of this game up and running soon. If I can do this I will post the game for download on the net for free. I am addicted to this game also...grin.

Re: [Audyssey] Huge gaming news!
Hello there, Years back when i still had some sight..I loved to play a simulation type game called Outpost. Earth was going to be destroyed by a comet..and a life shipt was launched into space for a long flight to a new world. when you got to the solar system you selected..you could launch probes to see which planet was best for landing. Once you landed..you had a set amount of equipment you could use to work on your new city/base. diggers to dig mines and tunnels for underground dwellings. bulldozers to flatten ground for future building. a smelter to make metals from what you dug up. robot tractors/trucks to move materials from one site to another. as the colony grew..you could expand north/south/east/west/down. as you had more materials in your storage warehouses..you could build more robot trucks/living quarters/agriculture domes/schools/science labs/smelters/radio towers to control robots for further distances..etc. ultimately you wished to bring the colony technology up to the point you could launch another starship to colonize further. you faced diseases/colony unrest/disasters/loss of resources/etc. the games had lots of graphics..but all low resolution. I often thought this would be an awesome game to go all sound/voice with. this game was played over/days/months..not a single sitting. it was very addictive. a later version of this game thru in more things to work with/combat..like alien civilizations.

Re: [Audyssey] games and emulators
Years back I bought a playstation one emulator.. drat, can't recall the name of it..it was like a $35 program. You needed a computer running at 800Mz or faster for the thing to work right. but it did play the 8 or so PS game CD's I had laying around. When you started the emulator up..you had to have the emulator CD in the system..if it was not there the emulator would not start up. after it started you could take out the CD and put in a PS game CD.

[Audyssey] Sound RTS question
I have a question for players of the Sound RTS V8 game. I know building a sawmill will help wood production. My question is where to build it? If the town hall is at A2 and the woods are at say A1.. and I have a meadow at A2 and at A1.. will wood be produced faster if the sawmill is int he same square as the woods? I know that when you get a blacksmith going, you can upgrade the armor of the foot soldiers or upgrade the saws? at least I think it is saying saws? if it is saws, how much better is the wood production with better saws? is there any advantage to having multiple sawmills? thanks Robert --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] ATTN: Rameriz-Sound RTS
Last night I had my Sound RTS v8 server up and running. the server name was RCM. a Player named Rameriz logged in and challenged me to two games. Both games were in MultiPlayer game 3. I don't know if he quit both games or the connection was lost. We had no battles in either game. But we were in both games for only about 8 minutes when the game announced I was the winner. If Rameriz is on this list can you tell me what happened. If this is a server problem on my end I wish to fix it soonest.

Re: [Audyssey] deal or no deal
Hello there, I belong to a web site that deals with programming code. it is called http://www.planet-source-code.com one of the most interesting files I downloaded frm this site a short time back was a visual basic 6 version of deal or no deal. It was more geared to a sighted person in its interface, and the code was for a british version of deal or no deal. The money amounts were in british pounds. but it did work quite nice, and will work better with a blind person tweaking the code. It would really shine if we can get some audio bits from the real show to mix into the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
I apologize for not saying this, but I thought I had.. I don't read braille. But I do have a weird numbering system I made with a dynamo labeler.. I was thinking of putting these home made labels on a deck of Racko cards. If I put them dead center on the card..it should not interfere too badly with shuffling the cards. and won't cover the numbers the sighted person will need to read. but I do thank you for your offer.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
Hello there, Um, I am not quite sure what you are talking about when you say backgammon and cover the holes with paper? but i already have figured out how to use the backgammon set I already have. Normally a set comes with tiles that are round and sort of flat. Kindof like thick plastic nickels. one set is brown/black and the other is white. I can replace one set with actual coins..either pennies or nickels. and by touch..very, very careful touch..I can read the board. and know my tiles from hers. Man it is going to feel great to beat someone at a game other than a computer game...grin. Now I have to practice my dice rolling.. double 6's..o yes.. grin Robert --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
Shawn, Right now I think we are going to take the backgammon board on the road with us. It is a game I loved playing years back when I still had sight. Risk was another game I loved to play with 3 other buddies years back. that would be an awesome game to play online against other blind players if anyone ever has tht time to program that puppy. Never thought of connect 4...will have to buy one and see how I can mark my pieces with puff paint or something like that. Bought a friend's grand daughter a game called toss across. loved playing that one..it is like tic-tac-toe but you throw bena bags at it to flip the tiles to either blank or x or O's. The girl beat me more than I won..but it was till pretty fun. I have an idea for a game..even bought another board game to modify it to use for my idea. My lady is going to help me put it all together and then I'll see if I can whoop her butt playing it. I just wish I knew how to approach Hasbro with this game as I think it would work well for sighted and blind folks but I need to make the prototype first to prove it is a good game but I do thank you for all your suggestions.

[Audyssey] Blind Playing Sighted games?
A sighted lady friend of mine asked me what games she and I can play together? As I don't know braille and probably will never learn..it seems doubtful I can go and buy some sort of game that we both can use. I had considered teaching her backgammon. I can take the pieces I would use and replace them with either dimes or pennies. This way I would know what pieces were mine and which were hers on the board. I have dice with deep grooved dots in them so I can read the dice when i roll them. So this will do for a first sighted versus blind player type game. But I would like to know what other options I have to either make or buy? I know I have alot of computer games I could get her into from the Jim Kitchen line of games. But we are looking for something we can easily take with us when we travel. Thanks in advance for any tips/ideas given.

[Audyssey] Sound RTS: Fog of war?
Can anyone explain to me the Fog of War aspect built into Sound RTS? Is there a way to diminish it? Perhaps positioning of footman/peasants? is there a way to prevent it? what triggers it? I understand that in times of war/conflict..there is a reduction in the information that may be coming from a specific area. but not sure how this relates to Sound RTS? Once Fog of War hits a particular square in Sound RTS..is it immune to a comeback to that same area? Does Fog of War flow over the playfield or does it jump around? thanks for any info you can pass along. Robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

[Audyssey] Sound RTS: Congrats to LHXT
I don't know who LHXT is on this list.. but lat night he challenged me to a game in multi-playe rmap 2.. and he totally rolled over my troops. I thought I was sitting pretty high with 4 farms and 18 footment at the door to my town hall. but then the gold ran out and I needed meadows to build some more farms and find more gold.. I moved one square away from my city and pow...boom...bash...kapow. His 9 footmen and 3-4 knights tore my men up..sigh. It was a massacre. lost everybody...then his men tore thru my farms, town hall, blacksmith and I had lost eeverything..but not quite! I still had 1 sawmill way north of my city..he never got to it..just quit..grin. Guess the game will not declare a total victory or loss till you lose every man and building? The destruction was awesome. So congrats to LHXT whoever you are. You rule with a mighty fist. Robert now a bit more humble than before...grin ___ Gamers mailing list ..

I was told to go look for this file in the documents settings/name/temp/soundRTS folder the file is: SoundRTS-server.log Jean Luc was right...lots of interesting info in this log file. I was in a 3 player game..getting my butt whooped badly. lost my town hall..only had one building left..the sawmill..sigh. but I had 10 footman and 2 archers in the field. and 4 peasants.. I figured what the heck..go out in a blaze of glory. started to roam and ran across another footman and then another town hall. battled and destroyed the townhall the player lucius quit the game..and I won..but what happened to player 2? his nick was RLH? this log file let me know he quit earlier..guess lucius whooped his but too but took major damage to his troops? geesh..was going to sit back and just watch the game kill me off... never thought I could win it... grin Jean Luc, thanks so much for a great free game.. much better than just playing against a computer AI opponent!!!

Re: [Audyssey] Sound RTS: understanding now..
I can honestly say that when I first tried a multi-player game with Sound RTS.. sigh..I did quit a few games. part of it was the frustration of not knowing how to build up my army and being ticked my lowly peasants were being picked off by 10 footman and 8 archers...g. The smart thing to do was to stay and watch the scenario play out.. see just how many units and what type they were being thrown at me.. so the next time I play this guy I know how he will attack. I have not played against any opponent yet who had knights...I know I'll be taking a beating in that game. I did hear one player with a stable when I attacked his townhall? keep? no knights around..but I did hear the horses. just how effective are knights/horses against footman? and while I did lose my townhall in that last game...was there anyway for me to get another townhall? thanks robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
Tristan, when you mentioned your wireless connection to the net..than things became a bit clearer to me. I have a linksys wireless router. when I turn on my computer in the morn..it gets an IP address of 192.168.1.100 when I turn on my second computer downstairs..it gets an address of 192.168.1.101 each connection to the router has its IP go up by one on the last number. on some occasions.. my first computer gets an IP address of 192.168.1.101 and supposedly I am the only person on the router at the time. I may have had a hacker steal some of my bandwidth in a drive by internet hijacking. so I made it a point to change the password on the router. I am sorry if this comes across as off topic..but if we are going to be playing online games for the blind..this whole IP thing needs to be explained so programmers and players canunderstand what is going on when they can't get a game going correctly.

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match

My system is behind a linksys router. I never turned the router off..and yet about every 2 hours when I checked it..I had a new IP address. I always believe that a dynamic IP address would change if you turned your system off.. now I find out it can change any ole darn time it wants to..g How do you write a game to play thru the net if you can't keep your IP address?

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
Regarding how to program for internet play, I use a dedicated server for Rail Racer, not the cheapest solution, but probably the best overall. Che, exactly what does this mean to a game programmer? Did you have to write program code that ran on the dedicated server? While I have programmed a bit over the last 15 years, the programming was always little things that allowed me to do stuff on my comptuer that I could not just run out and buy off the shelf.

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
I had originally thought the same way you do. but then I found out that with my Verizon DSL account...my IP address is always changing. so, while I could test the program on my local network..I would not be able to test it and make it work like Jean Luc's Sound RTS program. I have no programming skill to make a program to run on a web site to re-direct the game like Jean Luc's program does on his web site. I am going to have to read several books on AI...artificial intelligence...to learn how to make the drone robots for the player to battle against. I often asked Jim Kitchen why he did not take his wonderful games and make them work thru the net. Now I see the trouble involved in that request. Robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
I thought long and hard on the random factor of the game... to make the game run exactly on two computers..the random function ov VB6 could not be used. I am considering letting the robot creation program create a file of random numbers from 0 to 9. Perhaps a list of 64, 128, or 256 numbers. This sequential file of numbers would pull a number from the list each time a random factor was required. this will ensure both computers pull the same random number and react the same on both systems. This will not in any way be an arcade type game...it will be a strategy game...a programming game. Just like the programmers at NASA had to program those robots on mars to react to conditions by themselves according to certain paramaters...so willthis robot run its program. I am considering making groups of commands that the user can cut and paste into their robots programming. a particulary good piece of code could be shared to other users. I even considered making the program create encrypted financial dealing with other users. Say I sit down and make a kick-whoop-fantastic piece of offensive code.. and another player wishes my code. I say I will sell you the code for 20 robot credits..and he says yes. I cut and pasted the encrypted code into email to send to him. He gets this code and then clicks on pay for the code. another piece of encrytped code is created which he send to me. I click on accept payment. I get 20 robot credits from him..and I generate a passcode to send back to him in another email. He cuts and pastes this code into the program and he is debited the 20 credits and he gets full use of the code. now one thing to consider..do I give him full use of the code? to maybe resell as his own? or perhaps he can sell it but as I created the code I get 25% or 40% of his sale? This system has to be weighted so the programmers get their moneys worth for the hard work they put into the design of good offensive or defensive code. Robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

[Audyssey] Sound RTS: for Jean Luc
Jean, I just talked to Verizon.net tech support. it was painfully slow as I think both calls I made went to a service center in India. But what I managed to get from the tech guys was this: Verizon DSL for customers..not business..their IP can change several times a day. This may explain why those Ghost server images remain on your web site. one tech guy told me the IP changes every 5 minutes..not so sure if he knew what he was talking about their. I setup the computer last night and checked your site for my IP address about every half hour..it did not change inthe 90 minutes I tried this. So I am asking other users who try to host games if they are running DSL also..and were they having problems with folks nt being able to login to their server? Robert ___ Gamers mailing list ..

[Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
Let me say up front I am not a great programmer. but I have this Idea I may work on. It would be a play by mail game. Each player would design a fighting battle bot to play against an opponents battle bot. Each player would design the bot and then program the bot. The game would be based on a certain amount of money to buy the parts...defensive and offensive. when the bot was fully designed..and it would be designed for a specific play field. you would click on save and a text file would be generated that you can cut and paste into an email to your opponent. He would then load in his bot..and the text file you sent..and click begin match. a SAPI voice would then call off the battle to you. there would be appropiate sounds for the battle. you would not be able to change the bot during the match. you would be stricly an observer. If the programming is done right..both people should hear the same exact battle on their own computer. The outcome should be the same on each system. the text file would be encoded so no cheating would be permitted. No IP address would be needed...as the only internet you need is the EMail your opponent will send you. an editor would be provided to create the playfields. things like power up pads to recharge the bot, obstacles like walls to block shots, maybe some offensive and defensive weapons laying on the playfield to pickup? this is the basics I have hashed out so far.. any ideas on this from the gaming gallery?

Re: [Audyssey] game idea:Battle Bot match
Years back when I still had eyesight.. I kind of remember playing or seeing something like this battle bot game on the Radio Shack color computer 3.

Re: [Audyssey] sound rts other suggestion
If the author of Sound RTS adds SAPI support he should offer the option of not using SAPI support. why do I say this... I love the sounds built into this game..I love the ability to modify the sound files in this game to my tastes. Not everyone who has a windows XP system...has the money to go buy high quality SAPI voices to add to their system. and it would ruin the game to have to listen to the default Microsoft Sam voice while playing this great game. I was quite pleased to see the author made the wave files with the Daniel voice..it is quite clear and easy to understand. It was the same option I chose for a game I am working on. as far as communication with other players..I offer the same Idea I already posted. A pack of 30 or so Wave files with either friendly or aggresive messages that would play on your opponents computer. These files could be customized to the users liking. Having a SAPI voice say I will kill you and over run your kingdom has no real meat to it..but a human voice screaming that with swords rattling in the background..now that will inspire fear in your enemy! I also am asking for two possible additions to the game: there are times I jus put my server up for others to play. but I am bombarded with request to join a game. an option to reply to this request with a Can't play right now wave file or I refuse your challenge might be nice rather than the challenger just sitting ther wasting time not know why you did not take his challenge. next: Would it add to the game play if when you attack a farm or woodmill, if you were offered the option to keep the farm or woodmill for yourself rather than burn them to the ground?

Re: [Audyssey] assistance with sound rts

Having a game for the blind hosted on a mainstream server/web page/download page would mean it could be seen by thousands if not hundreds of thousands of folks on a regular basis. this is not a slam against any of the authors of these great games who host them on their own web pages.

Re: [Audyssey] assistance with sound rts
There are several things going on here with sound RTS. 1. I played the game for over 1 week till I had the movement down pat before I dared to join an online game. 2. it took me two days to read over my linksys manual to find out how to forward port 2500 so I could get online to play agame. 3. I never figured out how to allow port 2500 in my Sygate firewall..so I just finally had to turn it off toplay the game. 4. not everyone is on high speed internet. those on dial-up might be thinking this game is band consuming and never tried toplay online. 5. I almost gave up when I was seeing multiple servers in the list when I tried online games. and I was not able to connect to most of them. 6. alot of great info has been posted on the list involving this game, it would be nice if the best of this info was trimmed down and added to the end of the game manual as tips to playing the game. 7. I have been trying to give this game to many, many folks to play..both blind and sighted. perhaps if the game was uploaded/hosted ont he popular download site called. www.download.com? Not sure what is required to get a program/game hosted there...but they are a very popular download site. 8. this game is extremely awesome. it will catch on. word of mouth will see to that.

Re: [Audyssey] anyone for a game of sound rts?
Some of the features I might like to see in future versions of Sound RTS? A game save option in single player mode. When hosting the games.. some sort of logging system to see who logged in..for how long...and who they played against. and who won the game. Perhaps some sort of simple chat system between players? As all messages are pre-recorded Wave files..perhaps a group of Waves ...maybe 30 of them? with assorted messages...friendly and aggressive? The best way to learn a game is to sometimes watch others play the game. Perhaps a mode in server mode to watch a particular player play his game? Echo all his moves on the servers screen?
