Hi. Any game programmers, give me some tips, tricks, like how to get the built in speech say from java script. That's about the only problem I have.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders game update
Hi Marvin, I am assuming here by built-in speech you mean something like SAPI. Unfortunately, if so I have some bad news for you. Meaning what you want to do isn't really feasible from a programming point of view. While you can access SAPI via JavaScript SAPI objects aren't safe, and in order to use it your client will have to disable lots of stuff in there internet settings in order to play your game. Asking end users to disable or compromise their internet security settings just to communicate with SAPI is unacceptable. So if you are thinking of using JavaScript to communicate with SAPI its not impossible, but not recommended by anyone in the know because it is impractical for all intents and purposes. In any case if you want to give it a try as I recall you would access SAPI via an ActiveX object sort of like this. Voice = new ActiveXObject(Sapi.SpVoice); Voice.Speak(Hello world!); Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders game update
Hi Tom. I have seen a couple of internet based games that used sapi and to my knolige didn't require huge amounts of security shenanigans (they've been played by people on various windows systems). Some are the accessible flash games from gamevial, such as rebound, rally racer and colonel zeeg found at http://www.accessiblewebgames.com/ (actually I'd recommend them, rebound is probably the best replication in audio of something like original breakout I've seen). The other is the Xtant game demo produced by richard and sander, an fps game built on a circular field (I don't have the link on me but it's in the audiogames.net database). Of course, that was built with the unity web player system, and Gamevial's games use flash, so neither is using javascript and html 5, but if someone wanted to use sapi in a web based game it'd certainly be possible. Then again, I admit I don't especially see the point in running real time audiogames through a browser anyhow, sinse it's not as if you can't have all the online stuff you want in a stand alone program anyway without requiring browser shenanigans, particularly sinse screen reader interactions with flash and browser controls can be somewhat ropy (one reason why Blind swordsman even though it's written in flash is a stand alone game sinse the website who hosted the online version had inaccessible controls). I suppose it would have the advantage of being cross platform, but then again if your calling sapi functions how would that work on systems without sapi? Of course actual browser games that use text and links and web controls and function as huge mmorpgs are another matter entirely, but manifestly such things aren't needing to interact with anything on the person's own machine. all the best, dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, May 25, 2015 4:00 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] space invaders game update Hi Marvin, I am assuming here by built-in speech you mean something like SAPI.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game
Hi Dark, Actually, Torrent is a clone of asteroids. I'm not sure what happened to it either, but last I heard the developer had more important things in his personal life to do and development was haulted. That happens in our business since we barely make enough money to pay the bills. As for a Donkey Kong clone I'd like to see a clone of Donkey Kong 64 or later. the original Atari side-scroller is pretty boring. In the classic Donkey Kong Mario jumps over barrels until he reaches the top of the screen and then tries to knock Kong off the top of his platform and rescue the girl. In Donkey Kong 64 Mario travels to Kong Island and must fight his way through the jungle, an old Aztec temple, etc. A much much better game. Dark wrote: I'd have to say I agree with Liam, despite my rapidly growing attachement to Ds9. there were lots of other great atari games, why not remake some of them?

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game
Hi Bryan, Oh, yeah. the original prince of Persia ruled. I had the Super NES version and I loved that game. As games goes it should be pretty easy to convert to an audio only format. A lot of the sound effects required for the game I have in my sound libraries already. As I recall there were three different types of potions. There was a life potion that restores one lost life, a health potion that restores lost health bars, and a poison potion that takes away a life if drank. On level one there was a sword that Prince needed to complete the game. As far as traps goes there was falling ceilings, spike pits, the metal jaw trap, standard pits, blade traps, and of course bad guys everywhere. Anyway, as far as developing Space Invader clones goes for a brand new game developer it is probably the easiest type of game to make. the problem is it seams to be were some game developers stop. Writing a FPS game is much more involved and takes a lot more skill, time, and I guess some people don't want to put the time into it. Bryan Peterson wrote: Here here! I couldn't agree with you more Tom. If and when I start attempting to learn a programming language you can bet that I won't be writing many Space Invaders games if indeed any at all. We've already got way too many of those. And Nichol, I have to disagree with you about Dark Destroyer. I beat that on my first try.

Now a Prince of Persia style audio game might be pretty doable since all the action I.E. sword fights, jumping, climbing and stuff is all happening pretty much in the same position as the player.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game
There were actually two more potions, at least in the PC version. There was one that would slow your descent when you fell off a ledge, so that if you fell from a height that would normally have killed you you could actually land safely, albeit only for a short time. Then there was one that would flip the whole level upside down. That was actually kinda interesting to see according to my brother.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game
Hi Darren, Well, probably nothing quite that complex. Though, I have been working on the ability to rebuild your ships after they have been destroyed. Of course, that means if the enemy fleet is destroyed and you haven't destroyed their ship yards they can rebuild their fleet. So you need to destroy all their ships, starbases, and ship yards to win STFC 2.Same goes for the Federation. If the Federation has a ship yard active you can slowly rebuild your fleet to full strength. Another feature in STFC 2 you will like is the ability to create new photon torpedoes. If you deplete the starbase it will begin producing new photons for your fleet so you should never totally run out of photons in the game. However, starbases can only have a maximum of 600 photons at any given time. By the way, that technical fact is straight out of the technical manuals. As a result of the new ship yard feature the Borg ships are a lot tougher. if they destroy your fleet you better hope you can get a fleet rebuilt fast enough to throw at them. Grin. Darren Harris wrote: I couldn't agree with you more on that. I love the origional game. Can't stand any other spin off. Your new stfc thomas are you going to do it along the lines of empire earth in as much as you can build ships from resources etc and develop new technologies? Now that would be ground breaking in this community and I think you will be the one to do such a thing. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game
Hi. Yeah I beat dark destroyer too *grins*. I like that game a lot. I own a copy of troopinum too. I've beat troop a few times also but dark destroyer was actually a whole lot easier and more laid back *lol*. If I were going to talk about which game was hard I'd say it was troopinum. That's a good thing really. On the one hand I've got troopinum, lots of different features in it, challenging to beat, cheats, good voice, fast action, and the fact that you can hold down the arrow keys to scroll like someone mentioned. On the other hand there's Dark Destroyer, free, a bit easier to play, different voices, etc. I like it that way, get tired of one and play the other for a while. - Original Message - From: Bryan Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2008 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game Here here!

The blind gaming community has way too many Space Invader type games already.

It is high time we as a blind community begin branching out and developing more roll playing games, first person shooters, strategy games, flight simulators, etc. We need to break out of the classic Atari games mold and design something more current. Anyway, in regards to STFC I'm going to probably make two different Trek games. One is going to be more of a Lonewolf type game and the other is going to be the big fleet turn based game.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game
Here here! I couldn't agree with you more Tom. If and when I start attempting to learn a programming language you can bet that I won't be writing many Space Invaders games if indeed any at all. We've already got way too many of those. And Nichol, I have to disagree with you about Dark Destroyer. I beat that on my first try. Me, I'd love to see an RPG like Zelda or Final Fantasy or ann FPS style game like what Metroid Prime was. Of course I'd love to see a Metroid style audio game but something like that might be difficult to render in audio. I'm not sure how you'd represent platforms above or below your current position although I see no reason why it couldn't be done. I suppose you could do it with pitch bending (I think that's what they call it), where a higher platform would have a higher sound versus a platform below you having a lower sound. Now a Prince of Persia style audio game might be pretty doable since all the action I.E. sword fights, jumping, climbing and stuff is all happening pretty much in the same position as the player. And in a game like that you have great potential for some truly incredible sound design, especially when it comes to the traps.

Re: [Audyssey] Space Invaders?
Hi. Although, none of the SI clones come close to the original in game play. In he original there were rows upon rows of enemies to shoot down. I believe the magic number is 24 per level. they were lined up in 4 rows of enemies and when you blasted the bottom row the layer above would drop down in the previous rows place. Also as enemies were eliminated the game would get faster and faster until the last invader was blasted. jack scrimshaw wrote: There are several space invaders based games out there troopinum 2 and alien outback to name just 2.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders
Hi, Liam. The closest game I can think of to compare to VI invader games is Demon Attack. In that game you would get three or four demons, and as soon as you cleared the screen more would come on to the screen and with a cool warping sound. Missile attack you had missiles descending towards you, and you had to shoot them down. As you destroyed them the enemy would launch more so VI games has kind of copied this style of play for arcadia games. However, nothing like the real Space Invader game. As ken said you had rows and rows of alien invaders in space suits descending on the screen. You had to destroy as many as possible, and if you were real good blow away the UFO dropping them as it passed over head. As the invaders got closer and closer to the ground they would get faster and faster They also moved left and right as well as down. This is what made it fun to play.

You are correct. None of the SI clones exactly copies the Atari classic. If memory is correct there was 4 rows of 8 invaders on the screen, and then three shields which you could hide under when the enemy were firing at you. As you eliminated the enemy invaders the enemies moved faster and faster as they descended to you. I suppose it would be actually pretty easy to reproduce, and wouldn't take long to make. A game like that I could probably roll out in a month. Perhaps I will do it once Monty is on site for download and testing. Would be a fun diversion.

Re: [Audyssey] space invaders
to add to it. Judgement day will be the first game with true unlockable content. Actually, Rail racer will be first with unlockable upgrades and stuff. But, I don't know any other game that is using something like a trophy system. - Original Message - From: shaun everiss [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2006 9:10 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] space invaders troopinam has 2 versions and both are a seperate game. the first one is purely arcade. the second one has the actual twist of fighting the big boss at the end and they are both indipendant.
