[Audyssey] Anybody play Achaea?
I found a very interesting, very different mud called Achaea. It's so weird and complex I can't wrap my head around it yet, but that's certainly preferable to the typical hack and slash style game.

Re: [Audyssey] mush scripting
I don't know a lot about scripting, but I should think you could alter the sound pac for Alter Aeon which, by the way, is the best part of the mud in my oppinion. Open the alter aeon.xml file and there ya go--just start modding it, or at least learning from it lol. Of course, I only recommend doing this if you learn the way I do--that is, by looking at code and changing it bit by bit.

To clarify, this is Not! the game I've been developing with Locutus that will be using head tracking technology. As you all know by now, I can't keep myself from branching out into other ideas, so I present to you, yet another side project. Temporal. The current status of the game is pretty rough. I don't even have any sounds in it, except for screen reader dialog. The reason I'm posting this game so early, is because I need to get people's reactions to the game's concept. As far as I know, no other audio games work like this one, so I don't want to invest too much time into it until I know people don't hate it, haha! In Temporal, you awaken in a government facility deep underground. You don't know how long they have been studying you, but you have been kept in a drug induced, unconscious state, to prevent you from escaping. Through some type of mistake, you have awaken. Keeping you unconscious was this facility's first line of defense against the most powerful human ever to walk the earth. you. Using your powers, to jump forward and backward through time, you must escape the lab they have been keeping you in. This game requires you to keep careful track of what you have already done, as well as planning ahead for what you intend to still do. Traveling through time means you will share the environment with all other instances of yourself who were present at that time. Confusing? If you jump back in time, you may run through a room where a past version of yourself is busy attacking the guards. When you hold open a door now, later you will travel back in time to this point in order to run through it! With everything going on, you must always be careful not to run into any past versions of yourself, or you will destroy the continuity of events and lose the game. I only have 1 mission done, but it should be enough to give you all a good idea of how the game is played.

[Audyssey] disrespect for gamers: was Re: Lunimals version 2.5b
Isn't funny how many people want to jump down our throats for using vb6, when our games are free? When somebody makes a game, or games, there should be a hundred times as much gratitude and constructive criticism than there is complaining and negative criticism, but it's the other way round most of the time. I have been brought to the edge of simply stopping programming, just because people here are so gung-ho against vb6. We devs--most of us anyway, are very well aware how out-dated vb6 is, that Microsoft doesn't support it, (as if that matters much since they're constantly disarranging their software to make it better,) and so on. Found a bug? Great--tell us about it. Got a way for the game to work better? That's great, but stop grinding our noses into the fact that vb6 is so old. Jim Kitchen, Jeremy and I use it, and it's what we know. Sorry if this causes discomfort and inconvenience. For my part, if a great open-source audio game comes out in vb.net, I'll look at it and eventually switch over, since I know how versatile .net is and so on. Until then, I'm happy to use vb6, and I'm not in a hurry to rush around and change up everything right away, especially since I make my games mainly for my own enjoyment, as do my colleagues. If I were trying to sell these games, the complaints about using outdated software would be relevant, but I'm not. (The exception, of course, is Phrase Madness, but that's written in Basic4PPC and uses .net framework, so it's up to spec--relatively.) Also, since I'm venting, there is one other thing I have to point out, and that is this. Even if a game is abandonware, it's not cool to just modify it without the programmer's concent. Damage Extreme is an attempt to make Enemy Attack even funner to play, and I would have gladly concented to the rewriting of it, but I wasn't asked, nor was the work I did on Enemy Attack even mentioned anywhere in the game. I'm not one who cares about such things in general, but this is different. It's not about feeling ticked because my name wasn't on the credits page--this is different. It's about respect due to game makers. It's about simply stealing a person's game, tweaking it here and there, and releasing it as completely your own idea. I've tried to let this go, tried to just swallow my pride or whatever, and all I've done is found my convictions on this more deeply. I'm not asking that the game be taken down, or even for my name to appear on a credits page, only that devs are respected more in future. If you're going to rip on sighted games, who cares--but audio games are developed by one person and take months if not years to put together, So please, let's have a little more respect for the game devs, okay? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Huge Update for Phrase Madness
I've been busting my *** for days now, fixing and improving this game. The following bugs were fixed. Uploader bug: Now comments actually get to the server. Demo bug: user name character limit was set to four, so typing demo doesn't shut the program down. and, hopefully, the issue with the pachrecorderdesktop file were fixed. If not please let me know. Now, for the improvements to the game. First, added a subfolder in the sound folder called user. Simply compress this folder to a zip file, rename it as your user name, and send it to me--it will have all of your comments and phrases. Note that this feature was added mainly for contests. You can use the regular phrase uploader program for everything else. Now, pressing enter when it is your turn tells you your scores, turns taken, and accuracy rating. Also, at the end of the game when someone wins, the scores and stats are announced. They aren't sorted as yet, but that will be part of the next update. Here is the link for the game http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13071564/PhraseMadnessSetup.exe Here is the update patch. Inno is not overwriting the executable though, so you'll need to erase it manually. I will fix this as soon as I learn how. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13071564/PhraseMadnessPatch.exe This is not up on my site, and neither are the contests yet, but I'll update that next. My first priority was to the game, and now that it's done--for now--I can work on that.

Re: [Audyssey] wrecking Ball and air hockey
First, as I said, none of my games are abandonWare. Second, I posted links a week or so ago for both games. They are way better than the ones you'll find in the forum because they are new updates, both at beta 0.2. Now that I'm relatively done with Phrase Madness, I can do a little more with them. As far as game play, you just move your mouse around to hit the ball or puck, and you can also use the keyboard, like in Enemy Attack. The shift keys act like flippers, and the control keys can send your ball from side to side. In Air Hockey they don't do anything but the letters and numbers do. HTH, and sorry for not being more in depth, but I have a few more irritating bugs to squash. Grhrhrhrhrh!

Sorry about the long delay between this update and the last one, but I think you'll all be happy with the changes. I've implemented almost all of the suggestions people have given me, including things like adjusting game speed, sapi speaking speed, custom games, and quick tile information during game play. I've fixed a ton of small bugs that people reported, and I've added a new prey animal (gophers) and a new predator (dingos) which fall into the master predator class and can be considered an entirely new eco system layer all by themselves. Everyone can give mission 8 a try now, and I wish you luck, because it is quite a challenge! Muhahaha (evil laugh)! The custom games allow you to choose a dome, choose how much money you begin with, and enable or disable random dome disasters. These games allow you to set your own rules rather than simply following along with the campaign quests. Random disasters provide the occasional, unexpected problem to fix, if you choose to have them. I've already begun work on the last 2 animals that will be added to the game. I'm not sure yet, if there will be 10 total missions, or only 9, but either way I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Once I have time to finish up the next few animals and mission(s), Lunimals will finally be complete! Yay! Once that happens I will attempt to make the game support multiple languages. I would, very much, appreciate volunteers to help me with the translating. Once I'm ready, I'll post a file containing all of the game's dialog so that people can translate it and send it back to me. I would like to know this game can be enjoyed by non English speaking players as well. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Towers of War
Save up your money, because you earn interest. That's the big key. Start by putting two microwave towers in the middle of the path. Then, as you save up money, put a frost tower and a poison tower at the very beginning. Put all these at the edge of the path. Later you can keep adding towers, but where you position them is key. For example, poison works slow, so don't put it anywhere but at the beginning of the path--same with frost. Cannons can go pretty much anywhere, and so can sniper rifles. Microwaves shoot out their energy in all directions, so them at the turnings of the path. Just remember not to add too much at once--one microwave tower should do for the first two levels. Keep adding--slowly, and save often.

I have found a major bug in the game. If you don't put anything for the username, then the game says you are registered. I am not sure if you are or not but just telling you now. Also, the game tells you to press a letter even though you have not selected a player selection also it mixes the phrases before you select a player, and also all the boxes appear as if you are already playing, so just telling you thats all. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Phrase Madness Contest: a chance to win $20
I am holding a contest for all registered users of Phrase Madness. The winner of this contest will receive $20 for a job well-done. Here's how this contest works: Record as many new phrases as possible, zip them up, and send the zip file to k...@theaddictor.com. The person with the biggest and best phrase pack wins the cash. It's that simple--or is it? There are, of course, a couple limits. first, phrases which are repeats of phrases in the game are disqualified. Second, only *registered* users may enter this contest. Third, remember that recording quality is important--no background noises, popping p and t etc please! Record using medium-quality MP3 or, better yet, Microsoft adpcm 4-bit quality at at least 22050 Hz. (If you are using Goldwave, save as wav, go to the attributes list, press g, go up once and you'll be on the adpcm attribute.) There are, however, no other limits. You can make an adult phrase pack. you can make a foreign language phrase pack. The sky's the limit. Just remember to call the pack after your user name--for example, Ken Downey.zip. Don't worry about changing numbers to fit in the game--I will do all that work. Finally, know that all acceptable phrases from all contestants *will* be used in the game. This contest will run until August 1, 2011, which should give you all ample time to familiarize yourselves with the phrases and make new ones. Also, the comments contest for all unregistered users is being extended to August 1.

[Audyssey] Phrase Madness Comments Contest and easter egg
In the interest of community excitement, I have decided to hold a contest. Here's how it will work. All of you who play the demo of Phrase madness can make your own comments. Make as many as you like, then zip them all up. Do this by going into the sound folder under Phrase Madness under program files. Sort by date modified, and you'll see your comments at the bottom of the list. They will look something like b5e23.wav. Zip them up and send the file to k...@theaddictor.com. Have the zip file named after yourself--for example, Ken Downey.zip, so I know who made the comments. I'll give you 60 days to do your best. At the end of that time I will evaluate the comments files. Whoever has the funniest or most apt comments will win a working serial number for the game. Remember that the formula for knowing how many possible phrases exists is simple--just square the available number of phrases. In the case of the demo version, there are 50 phrases, making 2500 possible combos. Even if you already hear a comment from me when you find a combo I commented on, feel free to come up with something better. Oh, and by the way, I have placed an eastern egg in the game. I'm curious to know how long it takes you to find it... Good luck! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Air hockey question
Hey Chris, Glad you like the air hockey game. First, the paddle used to be constant, but it got annoying if I wanted to switch to keyboard for a while. However, I can see you point and will loop it again for the next release. As for announcing the score, I'll have to turn it into a self-voicing game for that, because I get a run-time error when the mouse is moving at the same time sapi is speaking. No idea why. For now, use the mouse wheel to announce scoring. The up and down arrows control how much friction there is between the puck and table. The lower the number, the more air is being pumped out and therefore, the less friction you have. High numbers mean the puck slows down rapidly. What do the rest of you think? What else do you want in this game--and if you say online play, then one of you other vb6 experts will have to handle it, because I have absolutely no clue how to set that kind of thing up.

Also, it might be nice to have a constant sound for the paddle; I found myself not always knowing where I was in relation to the goal and the puck, since I couldn't hear the paddle unless I moved it, and there was a noticeable delay between gestures and the sound.

Well, the custom game code was done just enough to include 1 sample map, even though this does not truly reflect what I want to do with the custom games. For now, it'll do. I've added artwork for any sighted Lunimals players. They aren't award winning graphics, lol, but they are enough that young kids should be able to tell what's going on even if they can't read. The Control button stops the message that is currently being spoken, I've fixed several bugs, and I put something in the information section about my website. The read me file has been updated a bit too. I think that's it, boy it feels like I've done so much more than that short sentence of changes! I guess that's how it goes though. Ever since Daytona was released, I've had different people telling me I should set up a web page, and that the web page should have a donation button. Even though my games are free, apparently some people want to be able to donate and help support my work. I can't stress this enough, do not feel obligated to donate anything to me people. Of course, donations would rock, and I would appreciate it, but I make my software free because I am just looking to contribute to the community in my own way. With that said, I have finally set up a web page to house my audio games, and there is a donation button at the bottom for anyone who wants to use it. www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames I also wanted to say that I've deleted all of the old emails where people asked me to set up a donation button, so even if you actually told me you were going to donate, you can change your mind and I won't even know that you did.

[Audyssey] Darkgrue questions
Hey Jeremy, I have some questions about Darkgrue. I'm making a simple game book with it--a Superman. Since I only have my memories of Superfriends TV shows it'll be horribly inaccurate, but I am making it to read to the kiddies and they won't care. Anyway, a couple questions. First, you hit plus to make a new choice, but I don't see a way to link the choice to a section. The only way I know how to do that is memorize then paste, but it might be quicker just to type in the section number. Also, how do I make new sections? There are only six, and when I go to next storyless section it seems to take me to one at random. I'm really liking this though--it rocks!

[Audyssey] Dark Grue
Hey Jeremy, never mind about typing in section names. I just didn't get that when you hit plus to add a choice, that it automatically made a new section and linked to it. My mistake--don't worry about having to type in section numbers unless you see a benefit. By the way, what's the matter with SAPI--mine works fine.

[Audyssey] dark grue suggestion
Hey Jeremy, I have another suggestion. Can you make the game so that it can play more than one music file--perhaps the person could name his music files after the four-digit number of each section as the text file is? That way, you can have a theme song for the first page, the sound of a robot tearing things up for another and so on. Just a thought. I'm liking this Darkgrue project a lot.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals feedback
I remember when my wife and kids were playing Tropix 2 last year, and how much I wanted to try it out. Of course, this year they've moved on to Chuzzles... but I agree--this is one heck of a game! Keep it up Jeremy! By the way, if you want to make this game self-voicing let me and other listers know, and we'll do it.

S P O I L E R! Read at your own risk, this text direct to you from the heart of the Fukushima reactor, etc, etc. So beating the fish and turtles thing is a bit of a slog, but there's a consistent setup I use that gets me to the tricky part. Buy two, and only two fish. Monitor their numbers *very* carefully. When they reach 7, sell the extra 5 to get back down to 2. (You may find a time where you have 8 because of happy, reproductive fish, sell 6). You need to do this in order to make sufficient money to get your first turtle. Keep cycling through until you have your $160,000. Buy 1 and only 1 turtle. Now your fish balancing gets slightly trickier. I found that keeping 4 fish as the minimum to sell down to seemed to work pretty well. When you have 9 or 10 fish, sell down to four. Keep bringing in that advertising and sales money until you are ready for your second turtle. Now here's the art, and where my instructions get a little fuzzy. When you're about to buy your second turtle, you have to begin letting the fish population grow a little more. I think 13 to 15 was the number I chose for the minimum, so let it grow to 18-20 and sell down. The tricky part is that in this region, reproduction isn't predictably one at a time, so you will have to catch it quickly. Too few and the turtles eat them. Too many, and you have a population explosion and subsequent crash, and with 2 turtles, that crash might be fatal to your fish. If you screw up and have an explosion with less than 2 turtles, you'll be fine, ride it out until the numbers crash back down into the low teens then start over. Your biggest enemy is power loss and being unable to sell, so monitor your power consumption carefully. I'm not seeing a huge effect of bug numbers on the fish cycle. I think a large bug reproduction simply lengthens the cycle. I haven't tried balancing fish with only algae though so that effect may be more significant than I think. Note, this same strategy will work in a modified form for the later parts of mission 6, though there, you're working with land animals, and mice are more forgiving than fish. I'm currently stuck on the part of mission 7 with the added loan. That quarter million every 120 ticks is brutal. I've also had a hell of a time keeping squirrels alive if there's anything else in the dome. For fun, I started rabbits and squirrels to see if I could get a sustainable population before introducing mice. The mice are too efficient acorn eaters to allow the squirrels to live in any of my domes so far. I did get a stable rabbit population to coexist with maximized mice, but it hovered around 5-10 rabbits after the die-off that came with the mouse explosion. Can you tell I've been thinking a lot about this game? Well done Jeremy, and I'm excited to see what comes next.

It has been around for some time, but it is still good. There is an old version on Dave Poehlman's web page at www.clark.net/pub/poehlman/readme.htm and you can buy it from Ann Morris Enterprises. Destination Mars is a game where you have to get to Mars, but you have to get through certain hazards such as asteroid fields and alien ships. You can also collect gold, diamond, and platinum off some asteroids. You can use the metals to get fuel, phaser power cells, and a new force field generator from space stations. Also, things will break on your spaceship and you will have to find a place to repair them. It is pretty good, but there are a couple of things that I think he could improve. The first thing is when firing at alien ships, the computer decides whenever you hit them or not. I think Richard could have used audio input to aim and shoot. For example, he could have used some descending tones and put a low tone somewhere in the middle of it that someone would have to hit a key on to fire. Another thing he could do to improve it is to put a feature on it that would tell you how many repairs are needed. I also heard that he is going to add some sounds to his game. He has also made a game called Dodge City Desperadoes. Unfortunately there isn't an older version on Dave's web page, but you can buy it from Ann Morris Enterprises. I haven't won this game yet. In this game, you have to catch 3 desperadoes that are in The town to cause trouble. You also have to find them before your time runs out. There is a lot of things you need to look for before you can catch them however. The game is okay but I think it needs some extra work done on it. For example, it would be easier if he had the word limit for 3 or 4 words instead of 2. I also think it would be easier if the game used the arrow keys to get around town with instead of always typing. Other than that, it is a pretty good game. Both of his games cost about $20.00. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] new heli available
Hey all, here is the link to the new version of Heli. The enemy alarm is there for debugging purposes, so you won't hear it during the game. Fixed major bug with enemy just freezing up--made him a lot smarter. Now, if I could just wrap my brain around fuzzy and probability logic, I could really make a good AI. Also fixed a couple smaller bugs.

Re: [Audyssey] analog Weapons system
Hey Tom, Yeah, the analog attack did seem simple, but when you put it that way, just skip it. I won't thinking it would take a whole week to rewrite since I haven't seen the code. Ken Downey The Addictor www.TheAddictor.com - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: birdlover2...@hotmail.com; Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 7:56 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] analog Weapons system Hi, Well, in concept it isn't hard to write an analog attack system. Basically, the way it works is it increases the amount of attack damage depending on how long the fire key or fire button is held down. The problem here is not that it is especially difficult to create an analog combat system, but I didn't write the code with this kind of combat in mind. As a result I can't just add a couple of changes and be done with it. The way the code is written now I would have to totally yank out the code and rewrite it from scratch. The question here is would you rather me spend a week adding an analog combat system or would you rather me complete level 4? You see, that's where the rubber meets the road. Everyone wants this or that feature, wants everything under the sun, and then wonder why 1.0 is no sooner of being completed today than it was six months ago. Rather than completing the core of the game, and going back in adding features like this after 1.0 is actually released I'm being asked to go in and write and rewrite the core over and over again to add this or that feature without adding levels, a product licensing system, and things that absolutely have to get done before this product goes on sale. In other words what I'm saying is I've spent a lot of time working on things that are low priority rather than attending to things that absolutely do matter. So development has dragged on indefinately. Cheers!

[Audyssey] analog Weapons system
Hey Tom, any chance you'll consider adding an analog weapons system to the game? I had several ideas on this. First, I personally tend to use my fists more than any other weapon--they get the job done just as well for me. I was thinking that you could add a stamina counter that goes down the harder you fight, the longer you run, etc. So to deliver a light punch, you would hold space down for a fraction of a second, and to give a heavy punch hold it down longer. The heavier the punch, the bigger the drain on the stamina, but one heavy punch would be more effective than five light ones. If you include dexterity later on, it could take out dex points if Angela's not wearing gauntlets or gloves. This would require judgment again, as a skeleton might only need two light punches, where it might take a heavy punch to knock out a minotaur. the same could be true if she swings a sword. Also, if she has any type of powered weapon, the longer the button is held down the bigger the charge. What are your thoughts on this?

But judging from the many gramatical errors in the email message, i'm begining to think this may not be bavisoft that actually replyed.

Note again, this email was not directed to me, but to someone else. hi sid. we have read your email and would not like to say anything much. bavisoft was a fair enterprise, commited towards the development of high quality computer games for the blind. we received a rather favulous feedbacks regarding the both games we have created certainly, we had plans for the future. so initially, we started as a rather fine business, managing to get enough proffits to meet the costs involved in the process of development. in addition, we had also drawn certain plans for the future about development of new games and continution of old or existing games . with the progressing years, our potential kept falling down, plus we had to face a lot of extreme financial, residential, and social crisis. for sure, that was a period of uncertainty, for all of us in fact, but we couldn't do anything when we find ourselves burried in a really outragious heap of troubles, through wich, it was almost impossible to get out of it. as the time advanced, our managing system kept falling like a soap from wett hands. around the time in mid-2010, the things had totally gone out of hands. so finally, we had to give up, i hope that we will soon get rid of all the crisis that we have to face around. as for the concern, bavisoft may seem to be currently absorved below in the heaps of marshes, but one day, it will surely be on the top audio games development. we know that what exactly a newer audiogamer feels when they are discouraged from trying our games, but in that case, nothing much could be done right at this moment. we are still recovering from all these crisis, but we promise to release chillingham2, and a few more titles in the audiogaming industry, in the later coming years. acknowledgements, the bavisoft team --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] windows mobile games
Hey all, I'm looking for any games for the Windows Mobile 6 platform. Currently the only one I have is Phrase Madness. The Braillesoft site has a lot but none of them work because JAWS reads differently than this awful Talks program. Any thoughts? I heard there was a golf game but haven't heard anything about it since.

[Audyssey] how to stop the whining: was Re: Derek the Claric
Well, you know how to stop all that whining and complaining? Simple. Just abandon your game. Then you'll hear how great and wonderful it is. As much as I like Self District for example, it's nothing compared to current projects such as MOTA or even Battle Zone--but since it's gone people want it bad. I remember the big deal people were making about Science Invasion. Then I played it and thought how much better that new game is--can't remember its name, but it has a dog that can guide you to different places, and everything is round--and no doors. You don't hear that game mentioned on list hardly at all--people too busy praising and looking for Science Invasion. Of course, I'm not really suggestion that developers abandon their games, I'm just being sarcastic. Have to point that out though or we'll hear complaints about this post.

Re: [Audyssey] Python resources, possibly somewhat o/t
Well, as for me, the only reason I want to learn a new language is because the 3d audio for Directx with vb6 sucks... real bad... and Doppler doesn't work, and neither do the sound cones. I'm just not really up for learning a whole new language honestly. There are things I really want to see programmed, but I do a lot more than program games, and I still haven't come up with a good protection system for Phrase Madness... or whatever the final name of the game will be. I like the idea of the interactivity of Python. I'm just not sure I'm up to the task of learning it. I also write books and have kids to raise, so I'm not bored to tears any more, the way I was when I was eighteen. So the long and short of it is, if I could get some good, solid, foundational code--like Justin did, in another language I might experiment--tweak it here, change something there, and after a while have a whole new and better game. Till then I'll be using both vb6 and Basic4PPC, and probably Basic for Droid if I ever get rich enough to buy one of those lol.

I rarely post to list here, but I do check in from time to time, so please don't take my lack of posts as any indication that I don't stay in tune with the community I partially serve. I realize thomas is seen as a voice of authority here on list, but I think on this subject, he is very very wrong. Thomas has put down other programming languages before as well, such as VB 6 for being outdated, etc. but I say let the work stand for itself. look at what jim kitchen and David Greenwood have done with vb 6, regarding python, look at sound RTS, or qwittter, on and on. To say python is only for amateur programmers is ridiculous to be sure. Also, I have to question thomases authority on this subject, as he has yet to release a game for profit, so up to this point, he is by definition an amateur programmer himself. I realize MOTA will be sold for a profit, and Thomas has collected money for pre sales, but to this point, no final product has ben released for commercial sale, thus seriously diluting his point about professional development with python in my opinion, especially considering the vast number of projects out there that have been released for a profit using python. This post isn't to flame on Thomas, he has worked hard on his games, most very especially MOTA, but for him to crap on python on this list given the attention his posts receive is irresponsible and not well thought out in my opinion. From what I've seen and tested, I don't think python would have any trouble running MOTA, or most any other audio game out there, given current system specs. And I am not talking out of my rear end here either. I've done one of the most complex audio games out there with Rail Racer, I know what I speak of. But to me, the most important things involved in creating a good audio game, or any other program for that matter is being an inventive, efficient and dedicated developer. No matter what language you use, if your idea sucks, it won't matter. If your skills suck, it won't matter. If your dedication sucks, it won't matter. The skills learned by teaching yourself a language such as python will carry over to any other language, picking up the syntax is the easy part, learning how to efficiently make code do what you want, that’s the magic, and learning to think that way will be greatly advanced by using python or any other language for that matter. I want to reiterate, this post isn't here to flame anyone else, but I know a lot of you guys on list here follow thomas' posts closely, and as a fellow quote unquote professional developer, I just think he is dead wrong about the downside of python, and I would hate to see someone not use python because they have heard it can't do what they want. check the programming options out yourself, and make a balanced opinion for what works for you, your idea and implementation will be the reason your game succeeds or fails, not the language you choose. Lord knows, we need as many creative game developers out there as we can get for the audio game community, and no matter what you use to create it, if its fun

Re: [Audyssey] Python resources, possibly somewhat o/t
Wow! Well-done Ryan! You must have spent all day writing that!
I'm just learning Python myself, and my intention is to pick up some of the
slack in NVDA. I'm starting out with simple things, like learning to move
the focus to specific coordinates to make apps like Paltalk easier to use.
Later I'd like to learn how to get it to recognize graphics, and label those
graphics like I used to in Jaws. After that, I might start taking Moosik
apart and rewrite for the new python libraries, since I really want more
games to play with my sighted kids, but that's way beyond my abilities at
this point.
I still think that speed is a major issue though. Have you tried playing
SoundRTS on the big maps, with 4 or 5 computer opponents? My computer just
can't do it.
Other than that though, there are a lot of things I like about python,
especially its interactivity and load time. NVDA can shut down and restart
in just under two seconds, and Moosik doesn't take much longer.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Python resources, possibly somewhat o/t
Hi Tom,
As a budding game developer, I want to respond to your below email to
paint
what I feel is a more accurate picture of the python language. I think
there
are a few additional points everyone really should consider before jumping
headfirst into C#.net as I tried to, especially when that jump can meet
with
some pretty spectacular failures.
I will proceed our statements and responses with initials.
TW: On the plus side Python is easy to learn, is cross-platform, and there
are a number of simple APIs like PyGame available to help you quickly get
up
and running with game programming. ... All of this makes Python look good
on
the surface.
RS: This is exactly why Python *is* good, not just on the surface, but
deeper down. Imagine being able to program a game right out of the box
that
will reach not only the Windows community, but the Mac community as well.
How many of you out there are Mac users who lament the fact that you don't
have any games to play on your computers because they've all been designed
for windows? Python can fix that for you.
Additionally, because Python is easier to learn, it's also easier to
debug.
It's a given that programmers spend far more time reading their code than
they do writing it, and Python gives you the 1UP on that too. It's the
difference between
C#
void main(string[args])
{
System.Console.WriteLine(Hello world);
}
And Python:
print Hello world.
Even those of you who have never programmed a day in your life can see the
difference.
TW: On the down side Python is still a runtime language that requires an
interpreter or runtime environment to run.
RS: c# is compiled to MSIL, Microsoft Intermediate language. This is a
type
of Byte code. In other words, C# is also Interpreted. If you want more on

TW: ... if you are thinking about creating high performance games that
have
to update 40 to 60 times a second Python is going to exicute and run very
slow. It was never designed to handle high performance applications like
Shades of Doom, Mysteries of the Ancients, etc. For something like that
you
really need a triditional language like C++ to get the most performance
out
of your CPU power and memory.
RS: Python was considered slow when it was first conceived nearly twenty
years ago, back when engineers flatly rejected the idea that we could ever
break the 1 gigahertz threshold on a computer's processor. Today our
processors run far upwards of 1.0GHZ, and they often do it on multiple
cores.
While I will not dispute that there are speed advantages to running
C-based
languages, I also think it's important to point out that our accessible
games will likely not reach the constraints of what Python is capable of
any
time in the near future. The boxing game I am currently developing updates
its calculations 250 times a second with absolutely no slow-down.
TW: Second, some of the APIs like PyGame aren't the best APIs available
for
game developers. PyGame is decent if you are going to produce a football
game like Jim's NFL, Star Trek Final Conflict, or something like that ...
RS: What about Sound RTS? That's far more advanced than either of those
games.
TW: but if you are thinking of something like Shades of Doom or Mysteries
of
the Ancients forget it. ... If you want only keyboard access PyGame is
fine,
but if you want advanced Joystick support like force feedback and things
like that again no go. PyGame just doesn't have that kind of support yet.
RS: PyGame does have joystick support. It has mouse support as well. And
while the sound mixer may be lacking, there are other libraries that can
pick up the slack. Libraries like those

Re: [Audyssey] Python resources, possibly somewhat o/t
Hey Tom, I'm just about to bite the bullet in regards to learning one of the .net languages, maybe even c#. What I need to get started is a really easy game--maybe not even a whole game. How about a program that makes a helicopter fly around, a bit like Heli, but without the other complexities. I'm not good at learning from manuals, but I'm great at learning by taking apart a game and figuring out how it works, so if someone could write a real simple game like that, preferably in vb.net--but I'll take c#.net if I have to, I'll learn it. Once I see how everything is set up--you know, the basics, then I can incorporate what the manuals teach and start writing code--I just seem to need a boost. I remember how daunting vb6 was, but then Justin's sample game came out--and voila! Enemy attack was on the scene in a few weeks, then my other games. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I wasn't really certain of your past experience, or what your goals were, so to speak, so I just gave you the standard overview I would give anyone when asking about Python. Here is some information that might answer some questions and might help you with python. As for compiling executables with Python yes that is possible. There is a program called py2exe that essentually creates a Windows executable for you. What it does is it compiles or packs all of your pyc files into a *.exe file and then copies the necessary Python pyd libraries to your directory. This makes it into a stand alone executable, but at considerable bloat as you have to install the Python runtime with every program you compile as those pyd libraries are necessary for that *.exe file to run. As far as runtime performance goes there is some advantage in speed compiling at as a *.exe file as it byte compiles some of the code. It is certainly faster than running a standard *.py script would be. However, since its not true native code its not as fast as true C/C++ or assembly code would be. However, as you seam to be interested in turn-based strategy games etc this wouldn't be such a problem for you I don't think. SoundRTS is ritten in pure Python and works well enough. As for various APIs etc yes there are a lot of Python wrappers/hooks for most things on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Python certainly is growing in support, but most of those are for Python 2.6 and 2.7 current. I see here you are using the 3.2 runtime which I don't recommend using yet as its not well supported yet. If I were you I'd use Python 2.7 as that is the current version of Python, and what many of the 2.x APIs are being updated to support right now. Especially, if you want to write games. For example, PyGame which I mentioned earlier. The last version I have is for Python 2.6 and I hear they are coming out with a version for Python 2.7. In fact, the next release of Ubuntu Linux, 11.04, is now shipping with 2.7 by default, and will have the new version of PyGame for Python 2.7 installed. I know your focus is most likely on Windows development here, but my purpose of mentioning what Ubuntu Linux is using is merely to point out what the industry as a whole is using. If you rush ahead and start developing using bleeding edge Python such as 3.2 you aren't going to be able to get a hold of all of the APIs you need/want right now and may have to end updating and compiling them manually. Plus if you ever want to create cross-platform games, which you certainly could do using Python, you'd have to use the version Mac and Linux are using which is not always the latest and greatest available on the Python website. As far as the Windows API etc goes I know that feeling all too well. Microsoft never was very good at explaining things in something a person could clearly understand. If you look at the DirectX 9.0C sample source code it is a case in point. They have classes, that wrap classes, that wraps more classes, that wraps DirectX, etc so much that you don't have any idea what is necessary and what is just fluff. You practically have to follow the dchain of development from beginning to end and maybe if your lucky you might figure out what in heck Microsoft is talking about. Lol! Its for that reason why I really began using .Net professionally. The Microsoft .Net Framework is a lot better documented than the low-level C++ APIs for Windows, and a whole lot easier to learn. It uses a pure object orientd approach which is nice, and languages like C# .Net, called C-Sharp, is a very stripped down and much simplar version of C++. More like Java in a way. Plus its cross-platform via Mono so I'm pretty happy with the .Net sweet of languages myself. Anyway, as far as programming artificial

Well, I started playing TJ around nine, and it's about 2:20. There are some interesting levels as those of you who have played it know. But I've finally found a disturbing sound.

It is for that very reason, interesting enough, why I had never put up all of the PB Games, etc. I personally feel something like Snowball War is simply not worth hosting, but I've been asked time and time again to host it for one reason or another so I put it up. However, I have a disclaimer on my website that USA Games does not support those games in any way, shape, or form. If people ask their questions will go unanswered simply because I don't really see any need to keep some games like Snowball War around. If you want it then use it at your own risk. So far no one has really asked for help on any of the games I host so I don't have an issue with hosting them. However, if I was getting flamed, bombarded with questions, etc like you are with the abandoned games then they'd be taken off my website faster than you can say pronto Tonto. One thing you can be assured of I'm not going to cry over Danger City, Self-Destruct, etc because the games certainly are not worth it. Jason, I think it was who ran XL Studios, was not a very skilled programmer to be frank about it. I remember back when we still had the ag-dev wiki and mailing list Jason released the source for a couple of his games as tutorials, and it was terrible. I suppose I'm a bit bias since I was trained professionally, therefore I try to program using professional standards, but all the same I didn't think it was tutorial quality. I felt that for beginners it would teach them some extremely bad habits, and do to Jason's inexperience I could see mistakes he would be passing on to the next generation developer. So I understand exactly why you don't want to simply upgrade the code, and would have to rewrite it from scratch. In fact, the only game on your list of games I might consider updating would be the Savage Gambit. I think if it was rewritten, given some better keyboard asignments, etc it could be a decent game. However, it is pretty difficult to play in its current state. Cheers!

The amount of emails I have had complaining about the bug in level 1 in Danger City, or the bug in level 10 of Self Destruct, or the bug in this or the bug in that, and when I explained to them calmly that because these games had been transferred to me they turned around and basically told me to forget it, I figured that neither me nor anybody else should be treated that way and held responsible for these bugs without good cause, whether as a host or a developer. I feel that since I am trying to offer good quality products now, if someone was to redistribute, or host, these games with my name attached to them, they would hold me responsible for the bugs, and it would put them off my next titles, if that makes sense.

Heck, I just thought you had to wait a few hours for the potion to work lol. Thought Tom was going for realism or something. Also, if you hold down ctrl shift plus an arrow, she jumps traps--no matter how far away you are when you start doing it. For example, in the very first room where the fire pit is, you just hold down ctrl shift and, though you're a good thirty steps away, she just runs and jumps it. You could put a limit of how many steps she'd have to go b efore the jump routine wouldn't work, or make her weaker and weaker as she runs, due to oxygen depreivation. I find I don't even have to listen for fire pits--just keep those buttons held down and she jumps them no problem. (Of course, sometimes I get a nasty surprise when she finds something she can't jump over.) Also, what does the lever in room 15 do? It doesn't seem to make anything happen.

[Audyssey] my two cents: (was Re: Dumbing down games (was RE: anyone got anny suggestionsfor the next versionofbattlezone?))
Hi, Have you tried my sound pack for Audio Quake? I think you'll find it makes a lot more sense. For example, you hear a door slamming instead of a low hum for--well--a door. The wall sounds and slopes were changed too. I actually modified the Jedi mod for Audio Quake, that gives a coordinate system and allows you to adjust, on the fly, the scanning rate so you can run and still hear what you're flying past. I even made a hunter rocket. It doesn't do much damage at all, but you can shoot it and follow it as it hunts down that next monster. I'm sure some would say it makes things way too easy, but in the episodes you really need all the help you can get. I'll post it on my site, along with the sound pack for SoundRTS as soon as I get hold of it--it's on my hard drive which currently isn't plugged in. The real bummer is that I just paid fifty bucks for a web host. I'm stuck with the host for a year. He was very honest about what his company offered, and since I value honesty highly I signed up. What I didn't realize is how much extra he was charging for extra storage space, and since I only get 25 megs it's no good as a storage spot, which means I'm linking everything to good-old flopbox for now. Louis Bryant is being kind enough to give me server space for Phrase Madness, which is nearly complete, including the comments uploader, so once I've sold some games I'm going to get a better web host.

Just as a for instance. I tried to get into audio quake a few years back, I even went so far as to get hold of an old copy of the full game. I tried learning how to make it work but I found it pretty impossible. The sound cues just did not make any sense at all and I eventually got frustrated and gave up. So I can see where some of these new gamers are maybe coming from. From a programming standpoint I would not think it should be too hard to satisfy both sides here, if a cue is subtle such as a slightly different sounding footstep such as you encounter in shades of doom when you are close to a wall this should not be intolerable to the advanced gamer who doesn't want them. For things like targetting sounds I think these should be optional so the beginner can use them but the advanced player can dispense with them if he wishes. Well that's my two cents' worth on this for now. Game on.

Clement, I think you missed the sarcasm in my email. we're talking here a pit that's like 3 steps wide. even if your jumping isn't spot on, if you hit the right or left arrow fast enough after the jump chances are you'll get across it. there's no need to practice a dozen times. I got it within my first 2 tries. in a game like MOTA, sure. have some boundary sounds. because that game you have a lot more to worry about than simply the jump itself. like the analog jumping system and the running jumps for instance. but in something like battle zone, it's just ridiculous to have a pit sound. and I understand mainstream games have cues. so does battle zone. you hear the wind noise to indicate a pit. so why do we also need even more noises to tell the gamer ok, this is exactly where you must jump, thus defeating the whole point of pits in the first place? this is a reason I always speed run through super Liam. I constantly keep the run button held down and dive over pits most of the time with no fail. there's absolutely no challenge in that. sighted gamers don't have this color coated spot on the ground that tells them when to jump you know. they see a pit, they judge a good jumping distance, and go for it. blind people should use their ears the same way. if the devs add a jump boundary sound to pits, should they also add distinctive noises when fireballs are too close so you can duck in time? a targeting sound when enemies are in range? how about a sound to indicate you're getting too close to some blades? how far do we take the dumb it down approach? - Original Message - From: Clement Chou chou.clem...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2011 6:40 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone? While I sympathize, I also feel the need to point out that mainstream games, again, do give cues and warnings as well... all be it most of them are visual. And how do you judge pit distances? In most games, there's a wind sound to rely on Sure. But you have to realize that headphones make things sound different so there's no concrete way to measure distances simply by relying on that sound. And saying to a blind gamer just learn by falling in that pit is like telling a sighted gamer to figure out how to do supers and ultras in Street Fighter or any other game that has them. All those games have command lists for that one reason... so people can look at things for quick reference and get to the real meat of the game. Same thing here. If you spend all your time dying in pits, how are you going to beat the game with a high score? Even judging distance takes time, and that detracts from your time bonus.

I'm not referring to anyone in particular, but to the group as a whole. why do most blind gamers shy away from challenge?

Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone?
Yes, and the cues could be turned on and off. I was thinking that a 1-step boundary would be good, but what about using boundary width to show the pit's width? That, combined with an analog jumping system, would give you a good visual on the pit's width so you could know how far to jump, and not just when. The boundary sounds don't need to be that lod either. There is no need for obtrusive cues--they can blend well into the ambient sounds, just like the boundary does in Mota.

Personally, best option in my opinion is just to treat it as extra ambiance if you don't want to use it as a cue. I know in my experiences whenever I've walked near a pit in real life it's never just been an abrupt stop... there's either loose dirt or an edge, something of the sort... and adapting isn't really the problem here.

Before I go any further, let me just state that any comments I make on this subject are purely for the sake of discussion... you're my friend and I have no desire to antagonize you by going against you. lol. The problem with judging distances, again, is that wind sound. You can't concretely judge how far it is from you by just listening for it.. unless you pinpoint the position of that sound in your headphones or speakers and memorize where it is. And in frantic fights, if you have enemies coming at you and your mind is bent on taking care of them first, you really don't have the option to stop and judge that sound while you're being pummelled. The problem with judging distances like they do in mainstream games is that, a sighted person can look at that pit and see how wide it is, whether they need a running jump or not. In audio games, you don't have that. Unless the dev programs the look command to tell you how wide the pit is, you have to guess. So some people would prefer warning sounds so they at least have a source to go on. I personally don't care either way. I played mainstream games for long periods of time before I even knew of audio games, so it doesn't really matter to me. I can cope with either. Target sounds for when enemies are in range is fair to me. Because why stand there mashing space until you hit something? Especially in this game, where the sound that is used to sound the attack is also the sound that signifies the hit. There is no difference between the two... unlike in mainstream games where you generally have a sound for the attack and a second sound for the hit, so if you miss an attack, that hit effect won't play. And fireballs are a different case from pits as you can stand still and wait for it to come to you... and there really is no appropriate time to duck. Soon as you hear a fireball, if you wanted you could just kill nearby enemies and stay crouched until the fireball passes by. Sounds for blades are not necessary as that would also remove challenge from the game since the whole point is to time your run past them. That's where sighted people and blind gamers have the same challenge. They have to observe the paterns at which the blades shoot out and retract. We have to do the same... with sound. You asked how far do we take the dumbing down approach? This is exactly what so many hardcore fighting game fans had about Marvel VS. Capcom 3 and Street Fighter IV when they first came out... as a diehard fighting fan myself, I knew where the arguments came from. Less buttons in the case of MVC 3 as compared to MVC 2, supers and ultras in SF and the removal of the perry system from SF 3, x-factor for MVC... I could go on and on. This was all done to make the game

Hi Clement, I'll fess up now and say that I totally intend to get you started on x-ray moves. I'm wondering whether we think the same thing. I actually pulled off my first ever X-ray move by accident. Oh the joys of button mashing! Having learned how to execute them intentionally now, they've started to really irritate me. Essentially I think the problem is, while they sound and by all accounts look great, they totally break the constant pressure of the fight. Things like mega long combos or chains of attacks make me panic when I'm on the receiving end or exhilerated when I'm the one dealing them out, but X-ray doesn't manage to do that. I think the problem is that once the sequence has started, so far as I can tell there's no way to break it, so the person on the receiving end just sits there hopelessly. The sequences take so long that I have time to be angry that someone's x-rayed me, sad that my character is having a bad day internally all of a sudden, but then there's also time to consider what to do next. On the other end of the equation, they're not satisfying to be the person who's dishing them out either. I think that's because they aren't hard enough to execute, so there's no big sense of achievement, just the break in the rhythm of the fight. That disruption has put me off my stride enough that I've almost lost matches I was comfortably winning before throwing an X-ray into the mix. Is that what you meant by broken? To me, they just seem like a gimick. Sad part is that they didn't need to be there. It's hard to tell how deep this new engine is just from the characters in the demo, but to me, it definitely feels like an improvement from MK VS DC. It's all subjective of course, but that would've been enough for me I think without the new gimick.

I happen to agree with the upper-level fighting game community, that while four buttons in this game is okay, you're taking out so much of the learning curve that it almost seems like there's nothing to learn. Supers I don't mind since that's the way they've always been done in the vs. series... since those and Street Fighter games are completely different entities. MK's definition of accessibility is having almost the same startup chain of attacks to cancel into other moves. Unlike SF and tekken that require a lot of timing, MK, at least from the demo seems like you'll be able tochain attacks together without too much effort. And x-ray moves... don't even get me started on those. Gory and cool, yes... but a bit broken as a lot of people will point out to you. But I won't get into that now...

It only let's you do two specials, which is stupid. I like the less buttons approach to things, a four button layout rather than six. It makes normal mode in MVC3 easy to grasp than, say, SF, and I was able to remember the control skeme as to what attack was what and could focus on moves. Also, people may have problems with this but I personally like the way supers are performed in this game. A motion followed by two attack buttons, doesn't matter what they are it would appear. That also applies to moves, all you really have to know is the motion and you can use any attack depending on how damaging you want the combo to be. Allowing simple mode online sure causes cheating though. I dunno if you can even chain combos with simple mode, because once I was playing online with this dude and he pointed out that I really sucked at chaining combos; I wanted to test out Simple Mode and see if it was what the devs say it is, that you need skill and whatnot, but you also need the wrest of the characters moves...

So to hear people need the voice slower is something of an unexpected surprise. Cheers! On 4/5/11, Mich m...@ntl.sympatico.ca wrote: Hi Tom. I agree good job on the game. I find though that I do tend to agree about the rate of speech. it is fine going through the menus but some of the sounds that it is describing I find it is kind of hard to understand. not the sounds them selves but what they represent but other then that all in all a really good job. from Mich. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next versionofbattlezone?
Really? Do I sound like the guy that backs away from a challenge--me, the one that likes unbeatable games? Hardly! But I've had hearing problems for the last five years, and judging distance gets a little tricky. So put the cue in, but add a few more hazards. For instance, has anybody thought of snipers?

It's definitely possible to judge distance in this game. so why would we need a warning to know if we're close to a pit? just fall in the pit a few dozen times and you'll eventually learn to jump. why must so many blind gamers insist everything is spoon-fed to them? I'm not referring to anyone in particular, but to the group as a whole. why do most blind gamers shy away from challenge? This isn't even a Battlezone issue specifically. whenever there's something a little challenging in a game, people are always trying to come up with compromises like insert beeping sounds, ways to get rid of that feature cause it's too hard, and so on. - Original Message - From: Clement Chou chou.clem...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 10:33 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone? Easy there buddy. You have to realize... mainstream games give visual warnings for pitfalls and things like that such as ledges or whatever. It isn't always possible to judge a pit's distance by measuring in your stereo field. If you don't want cues, just don't listen for them. That simple.

I meant that happened and it need a bug fix there. I could also be an actor. Also people have requested in the past an option to select where the game installs, a change in step sound before you fall into a pit, selection as to where witch program group the game is in, and again the voice acting thing.

Everything except that second suggestion.. I do not need an annoying tone being played in my left ear. Another suggestion... would it be possible to hire voice actors for the cut sceens? I would be happy to do it... At 03:07 PM 04/04/2011, you wrote: Hey all, We are going to update battlezone here soon and are looking for suggestions. the ones we have come up with are 1. Make the game more realistic. Such as booby traps effect bolders by at-least slowing them down a bit, You can move while ducked, enimies can shoot you when your ducked and in the air, and when the blades are retracted you can jump without getting harmed. 2. At the end of a level if say you were one step from the portal and a bonis item falls and you step forward without catching it it would play an extreamly anoying tone in your left ear, and you can't here your statis without getting a headake. 3. When you use a bomb can the 20 enimies that you kill just shut-up because there dead? When you use one the enimies are still talking they just don't do anything. 4. Can you make it possible to set a booby trap for the cop cars and it will damage them but then the cops could get out and attack just like the other people? Please reply to all so that key is full will receeve them as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Youth Hunter: Mysteries of the Aging.
Hey, Phil, you forgot the dreaded colonoscopy, which takes down her health by half and makes her limp for a few days. Also, what about that walker battle with Athena? Also, jumping pits and fighting monsters has gotten a lot harder now that she has that colostomy bag.

Games we'd Like to play. by Phil Vlasak Youth Hunter: Mysteries of the Aging. You Are Angela Carter, an elderly treasure hunter, willing to risk everything to recover her long lost youth. Her mission will not be an easy one, for she has waited so long for her game to be finished. Now she must face many cosmetic procedures, such as Botox treatments from high charging surgeons, Microdermabrasion, and pills from Anti-Aging experts to re-gain her youthful appearance. She must avoid such deadly traps as snake oil salesman , Magic Foot Drafts, 3 Dimensional Age Defiance cellular power infusions, Skin Laser Treatments, deep mud pack facial cleansers, and poison Galvanic potions. Along the way she can start working out on Elliptical Exercise Equipment, Bowflex TreadClimbers, ancient Nordic Tracks, and the Stamina Bio Flex 2200 to loose those added pounds she gained while eating pizza and drinking beer waiting for her game to begin. If Thomas finishes Angela's game, and she finally makes it to the Hall of youth she must face her greatest challenge, suffering the effects of aging for the rest of her natural life. Which won't be very long due to all those nasty creatures who are trying to kill her. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
