Re: [Audyssey] lunimals query
Hi Josh. On lunimals, can you say a bit more about where your stuck? I'm afraid I'm afraid I can't remember mission two specifically, was that the one with the huge mouse population? there's a very good walkthru by nocturnus, I suggest having a listen to that if your stuck. the link is in the documentation or on the Lunimals entry on audiogames.net. As to dog who hates toast, well nobody said the game was easy :d. If your stuck, you just need to start again and practice your memorization skills, there's really no other way around I'm afraid. I must admit, it took me a few goes to finish the game as well. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals mission 10
Hi, I really do not think Mission 10 needs any tweaking...as you said, it is dependant on how you played before. I got the idea of multiple predator species on different landmasses which made things easier, but that wasn't a strategy I was using in earlier missions.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.5b
Hi jeremy, Agree. If you focussed on keeping up with the so call best programming language, you will end up writing and rewriting mission 1 and will never move on. Your news update on Lunimals will not be new missions available. it would be what programming language you changed to for whatever reason instead. We gamers will be playing mission 1 over and over again for years to try out the results of the same game in different programming language. Enough examples of that. Btw, I'm halfway through mission 10 now. Thanks for the great game.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.5b
I don't think your speculating, because if you get a computer now it will have a 64bit op. That is what all the screen readers are moving towards. If those that know VB6 would of just looked or tried one of the .nets. They would see how some of coding is easier and how some is not, but at least lacking the hair pulling of not knowing why your stuff don't work on todays op. Its not pulling teeth! Its just keeping in step so what you right works instead of being yesterdays left overs like dos is now. I tried to run a straight dos program on my win7 64bit op and it just sat there. So did the rest of the op, frozen in time and just as useless. So they maybe lucky now there stuff can be made to work. The question is will it on next op? Because you know as soon as it comes out. New boxes will ship and the VI will be getting them from those hand out orgs! So remember time is real short for VB6 and you can stand by it all you want. Alone! personally, I won't tech a out of date program. Just to hard trying to get libs that are no long there. Here is a good example. There are a lot of us out hear doing the flight sim thing. Most are using FS2000 or better like FSX. All of them came out before 2006 and take some doing to get working on todays ops. The problem is with it you have to move up or the new code has a harder time working with the sim. Just like those using FS2000 or FS9 use FS navigator. Will FS navigator along with those versions of sims are no longer supported or even offer support. The new sim called flight sim took 5 years to come out and was stopped, because it already was left behind by the ops and hardware. Something to think about, not even released and already game over!

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.5b
Hi Shaun, Ah...Excuse me for pointing out that the user interface is only a small part of what has changed in Windows Vista/Windows 7. On the contrary many of the APIs have been replaced or vastly updated giving something like Windows 7 quite a lot of changes under the hood from Windows XP. For example, the Windows mixer has been updated/rewritten in Windos 7 and really isn't fully compatible with Microsoft Directsound 8. Instead there is a new API, XAudio2, that Windows 7 developers should be using to handle audio output on Windows 7. As XAudio2 has now officially replaced Directsound on XP, Vista, and Windows 7 that is primarily what developers should probably be using to stay up to date. As for VB 6 goes its not surprising Microsoft completely pulled it from Windows 7. The .Net languages have pretty much replaced everything from the Windows 9x era, and .Net 4.0 is integrated directly into the Windows 7 OS. Most developers today are writing apps in C++ .Net, C# .Net, or VB .Net so it makes sense to target windows consumers using one of those languages since the Windows 7 development platform is primarily .Net now. That wasn't true a few years ago when there wasn't a single API for all Windows releases and programming languages the way .Net has been designed to do for the modern developer. That is probably the biggest change or difference between Windows 7 and XP.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.5b
Hi Jeremy, True, but people could just as easily argue the point that you aren't even properly supporting the technology that exists here and now let alone what comes next. I'm not out to change your mind, but simply state my position on this issue which is simply this. The current Windows operating system is Windows 7 and anyone who is going to buy a new computer today will likely buy Windows 7 as part of their new PC. As a result Visual Basic 6 is not natively supported on that system nor is DirectX 7. You are asking that user to install and configure a bunch of extra old outdated libraries to play your games, that are not officially supported, when you could just as easily switch to something like .Net and have all of your software up to date. It doesn't make any practical sense to me why you would want to stick with Windows 98 era programming languages, tools, and development libraries when you could be spending that time constructively developing games and applications for Windows 7 and beyond using current technology. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the work you are doing. Far from it. I think some of the games you are writing are revolutionary, very interesting, and definitely is a switch from the same old thing we often see here. It just seems a shame you have decided for whatever reason to ignore the fact that you are building these great games using outdated technology when you could just as easily be looking ahead at what technology most developers are using now.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.5b
Hi Jeremy. While I can see you feel very strongly about this, my question was not meant as an attack. Instead I think we as a community should come up with a solution. I just read an article where some companies project that at least 40% of all netbooks will have arm processors at the end of next year. As netbooks are a cheep form of computing, I can see many blind gamers going that route. The majority of audiogames will be affected, as they use older technology from microsoft which they don't seem interested in updating for arm. These games include Jim Kitchen's games, GMA, LWorks and many fun games like BSC games that are no longer developed actively. Many gamers are also moving to other platforms like linux, as the cost and restrictions related to windows software is becoming prohibitive.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.5b
thats true jeremy. And the way lifecycles are going, xp goes away, comes, back and then it does it again. I think though we can safely say that there probably won't be any major changes for a really long time, I mean we only just changed the interface in the vista/win7 system. It looks like ms is going to stay with that moddel as it is maybe for a while. And even if it changes its probably going to stay basically the same. Directx9 has stabelised mostly, and this could be the next standard to aspire to for now anyway. Once xp is not used anymore by anyone we could move to higher directx versions, but then again they are always moving foreward.

Dallas, from the file it appears you need to register Direct X7 on your system. That's a fairly common situation since DX7 isn't registered, by default, on many newer computers.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals current thoughts.
Oh Jeremy, you make me tres sad! *wipes a tear away*. Seriously, the oxygen depletion would make for a wonderful separate balancing factor. I know you said it was complicated to put back in, but it might address the mice issue, since their extraordinary reproduction might deplete the oxygen supply much more quickly than the smaller number of larger prey animals. You'd need an oxygen gauge as one of the controls. I don't know how possible it would be to implement at this point, but if you ever felt like doing so, I would cheer a lot.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals current thoughts.
Hi Jeremy. If there is one thing that bothers me, it is that mice sometimes seems more profitable to keep than either rabbits or squerals. I don't know if this was what you intended, but it almost always seems a bad idea to get rabbits or squerals. Mice seems to always be the thing that works.

Chris, Without access to the inner workings of the code, it definitely does seem like starvation is the only regulator. In the original design, before I released the first beta, there were 2 major factors that limited species besides food. Oxygen consumption forced your dome population to stay at a level matching the vegetation, so if you made more trees you would be able to support more living animals. Since predators are larger, they required more oxygen and would begin dying out sooner than smaller animals should the population reach the O2 limit. This became a nightmare to balance, so I completely removed it to make the game more entertaining. It is a case of bending reality to improve game play. The second regulator is animal age. The game simulated the fact that animals would become slower and weaker with age, plus they should hit a species-specific maximum age and die no matter how much food was around. Once again, while it mimicked real life really well, it was just too complicated to balance in the game. I was already sad about removing all my oxygen related code, so instead of simply tearing out all of the aging code, I heavily modified it to relax its impact up on the game. The way it stands now, animals do age and become weaker, but there is no true maximum that would force them to die regardless of food. Weaker animals are simulated by having them burn through calories faster than their younger counterparts, meaning they can't survive as long while they wait for their next meal. When food begins to get scarce, the old animals are the very first to die out. This code change was another alteration on how things really work, but it made the game more entertaining.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals current thoughts.
Hi Chris. If I remember my ecology, other than desease, accident or desaster it is! only the fluctuations in prey population that keep predator populations down anyway, though usually in real life the pray are never hunted to such an extinction by the larger predator population that you run out of prey and the predators die, which seems to happen in lunimals unless your careful but as you said, this seems a reasonable thing for a contrived environment where there are neither seasons nor migrations. Beware the grue! dark. - Original Message - From: "Christopher Bartlett" To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2011 6:59 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Lunimals current thoughts. I like the idea of the land/water tile sound, but I would choose a shorter duration sound for the water. When arrowing quickly across the tiles, the water sound doesn't keep up with the movement, slowing the scanning down noticeably. Is it actually possible to reach a balance between prey and predators such that one does not have to intervene to prevent population crashes? The influence of random death seems to be very small, so that there is nothing to prevent massive predator overpopulation given a sufficient prey population. I'm pretty good at this game, but I can't find a stable balance between any two pairs of prey-predator. It looks to me that the population of predators necessary to put a dent in prey populations is too high to maintain by killing or selling under most power regimes. I've got a custom dome with 900 battery power and a 5.5 recharge rate as an experiment to see if with sufficient power/recharge it is possible to find a sweet spot. I haven't found it yet. It may be that under a full dome with all the species interacting such might happen, though it seems to me the dingoes would still be an open population loop with no cause of death other than starvation. Basically we have a bunch of positive feedback control systems with no regulation other than catastrophic failure. Given that these are artificial biomes with a very simple ecology, this might actually be a correct model of the situation, and it certainly doesn't detract from the game aspect, which is about the successful farming of animals for sale without crashing the populations. But I would be interested to know if there is even a theoretical chance of achieving an equilibrium, ignoring disasters for the moment. It should be noted that I haven't yet unlocked the last animal as I'm struggling with mission 8, which is a cast iron female dog. That loan payment is killer.

[Audyssey] Lunimals current thoughts.
I like the idea of the land/water tile sound, but I would choose a shorter duration sound for the water. When arrowing quickly across the tiles, the water sound doesn't keep up with the movement, slowing the scanning down noticeably. Is it actually possible to reach a balance between prey and predators such that one does not have to intervene to prevent population crashes? The influence of random death seems to be very small, so that there is nothing to prevent massive predator overpopulation given a sufficient prey population. I'm pretty good at this game, but I can't find a stable balance between any two pairs of prey-predator. It looks to me that the population of predators necessary to put a dent in prey populations is too high to maintain by killing or selling under most power regimes. I've got a custom dome with 900 battery power and a 5.5 recharge rate as an experiment to see if with sufficient power/recharge it is possible to find a sweet spot. I haven't found it yet. It may be that under a full dome with all the species interacting such might happen, though it seems to me the dingoes would still be an open population loop with no cause of death other than starvation. Basically we have a bunch of positive feedback control systems with no regulation other than catastrophic failure. Given that these are artificial biomes with a very simple ecology, this might actually be a correct model of the situation, and it certainly doesn't detract from the game aspect, which is about the successful farming of animals for sale without crashing the populations. But I would be interested to know if there is even a theoretical chance of achieving an equilibrium, ignoring disasters for the moment. It should be noted that I haven't yet unlocked the last animal as I'm struggling with mission 8, which is a cast iron female dog. That loan payment is killer.

[Audyssey] Lunimals 2.2b
Hey guys, I've just posted version 2.2b which has a few bug fixes and a few new requested features. In haven't added in mission 10 yet, but these changes were enough that I felt it was worthy of posting. I've fixed that troublesome bug that would keep you from playing a new game immediately after losing one. Turned out it was a typo. I've added sounds to indicate land and water tiles, so that goes faster. Finally, I've added support for background music! There is now a music sub folder for the game. Take your favorite music files and name them "music1.mp3" up to "music10.mp3" and put them into the music sub folder. Lunimals will detect the music files and will play them throughout the game. It will always start with the lowest number file, but after that it randomly chooses from among the files. The Pause key allows you to pause and unpause the music, and the Home key picks a new random song. I didn't include any music files, so for those interested, here is a collection of really great background music taken from the mainstream game MorrowWind. www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/morrowwindmusic.zip --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals mission 3?
Hi Cary. You've actually got the right idea here, you just need to implement it a bit more ruthlessly. What I did myself was keep pressing x, and the moment I had ten power, kill a mouse (ten to kill and twenty to sell, so you can kill them faster). I kept up with this each time I had ten power, and after a short time had got rid of all the mice, which not only let my rabbit population grow, but also gave me the chance to plant more trees and thus create more moss which is the rabbit's preferd food. that tactic made mission three fairly easy. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals mission 3?
well I have tried to sell as many mice as I can. Failing that watch your rabbit numbers. If your numbers are just below say 1-2 shy of the required number pause the game immediately. I found it possable to buy what I needed, hit space to unpause the mission. They don't have to survive for more than a second or 2, just enough to finnish the quest.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.0b
Lunimals version 2.1b has been posted. Mission 9 is available, which introduces a new predator and lays out the storyline for the final mission (10) I will be adding in the next update. For those of you skilled enough to beat mission 9, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the storyline preview of what mission 10 will be. A few new custom domes have been added which start you out with no trees or rocks, for an extra challenge. For the custom games, there is now a whole series of awards you can earn. Awards can only be earned during custom games, but they are remembered between games. You can use < and > keys to cycle through each one you've earned. During custom games, you can now find options for buying more solar batteries and solar panels within the build menu. I'm sure I'm forgetting other things, but hopefully I've said enough to get you to download the new version. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Lunimals version 2.0b
Lunimals version 2.0b has just been posted. 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.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals v1.9b
It doesn't add much as far as game play is concerned. There is a single custom map, but as I said earlier, it doesn't reflect what I intend to do with the custom games. When I went to post this latest version I had to get the uncompleted custom game section stable. It would have been more work for me to disable all of the new code I'd been adding, so instead I just disabled the unfinished parts which left a single playable map. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals feedback
Well I was listening to a radiostation and there are a lot of games from www.steampower.com and www.gog.com which should be good. Ok, they are not accessable, but I was listening to I think it was called simon and the sourcerer or something and I was laughing. On that note www.midimusicadventures.com is your friend.

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.

This is the section you need: If you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7 you may encounter an error if you don't have direct X7 registered. Follow these steps to register the file and the error should be corrected. Put dx7vb.dll into the c:\windows\syswow64 folder. The file to copy can be found within the game's folder. After copying, open command prompt as an administrator. Go to c:\windows\syswow64 and type regsvr32 dx7vb.dll If you attempted to register direct X, but had difficulties, here are step by step instructions: (If you are running a 32 bit version of windows, replace "syswow64" with "system32" in these instructions.) Copy dx7vb.dll into the c:\windows\syswow64 folder. Open up the command prompt as an administrator (being on an admin account does not mean the same thing). There are 2 ways to achieve this. If you're able, right click on the command prompt icon and select "Run as Administrator". If you must use the keyboard, use the Windows context key after you have highlighted the command prompt icon. This will bring up the menu allowing you to select "Run as administrator". Once command prompt opens, type the following 5 commands, and press enter after each one: cd.. cd.. cd\windows cd\windows\syswow64 regsvr32 dx7vb.dll I'm actually adding that second half to the game's read me file that will ship with the next update. I think it is a good idea to give people the step by step instructions. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals feedback
Ken, would an accessible Chuzzles game be interesting to you? I have a huge, (and I do mean huge), list of games I want to make, but time constraints limits how fast I can produce them. On that list, I was going to make accessible versions of Chuzzles and Bejeweled since they are so popular among mainstream casual gamers. I don't want to make it sound like I'll be producing those next or anything, I am just interested to know if someone actually would like to have those made. When I know there would be people interested, I tend to move those games higher up on my list of what to work on next. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

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.

Ok guys, Lunimals version 1.2 beta is now posted. I have fixed a few things, but most importantly, when you press escape it won't automatically unpause the game. Mission 6 is now available, which lets you experience a few interesting changes to managing your dome. I'm planning to add mission 7, and custom games, to the next update. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Lunimals feedback
Zach, thanks for the support and I'm glad you are liking the game so far. It is neat that you compared lunimals to the "software toys" released by Maxis. I was actually aiming for a sim city type feel to this game as I was designing it. I guess I've accomplished that. --- On Tue, 5/10/11, Zachary Kline wrote: > From: Zachary Kline > Subject: [Audyssey] Lunimals feedback > To: "Gamers Discussion list" > Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2011, 8:51 AM > Hi Aprone and All, > I've been unable to get back to sleep for the past while, > so decided to give your Lunimals game a try.

[Audyssey] Lunimals feedback
Hi Aprone and All, I've been unable to get back to sleep for the past while, so decided to give your Lunimals game a try. It's a remarkable bit of programming. I've only completed the first two missions, and am looking forward to the next. This game reminds me most of the old "software toys" released by Maxis. SimLife and SimEarth come to mind, or at least what I've heard of them. Kudos to Aprone for producing something nobody else in this community has tried before. I eagerly await farhther developments.
