Re: Am I too stupid for programming?
Re: Am I too stupid for programming? Hey!First of all, I think the main problem is not the language itself, but the pattern used and the libraries. A classic example: you think you have a good knowledge of python, but some day you clone a repo of a pygame based game and you don't understand anything at first. Not because you don't understand python, but because you don't know how to deal with the framework, its keywords and concepts.Imagine what happen if you try to understand code from any other area you are not familiar with.Another example: even if you have a deep understanding of c plus plus, developing an audio library requires extra tools: if you don't know much about sound all the coding skills on this world wouldn't help you.So, programing is never only programing. It is programing, organizing and managing the right information.On the other hand, you are right, the best documentation is written in english. And we all non native english developers must face it, so the best advice is: improve your English. It's obvious but I think there are no other alternatives. Soon or later you will need it. For a non native English speaker, it is another necessary step to a better coding.Good luck!

Re: Python: Usage for Joysticks and External Controllers?
Re: Python: Usage for Joysticks and External Controllers? HEY, just in case you are still interested, I added joystick support for pygame aplications on the past.Basically, you initialize an instance of pygame.joystick.joystick(id), and check the state of a button by myjoystick.get_button(buttonId). for axes, you get the current value with: myjoystick.get_axis(axisId). In this case, it returns a value from -1.0 to 1.0 representing the current state.of course, checking input this way is not optimal at all, so soon or later you'll need to write your own snipets. My aproach is a getState function that returns a state object with all current controller values for buttons and axes, so I can compare it with a previous joystick state.I can share some code if someone is interested, but it's not hard to write your own wrapper.Finally, there should be a lot of other options out there, but hopefully it could help you, at least for experimenting purposes.Happy codinn.Edit: I forgot to mention that you can listen for events such as pygame.JOYBUTTONDOWN or pygame.JOYBUTTONUP, etc. Event.button represents the button that has been pressed or released, I think. I am writing this topic from my phone, cannot test code or consult the documentation, but this is the main concept.I didn't use this last aproach because writing my own button_pressed funtion seemed easier checking and comparing an object representing the joystick state than dealing with different event types, JOYBUTTONDOWN, JOYAXISMOTION, etc. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/602794/#p602794 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Framework, my new set of tools for audiogame creation in python3 Hey all,Loving framework so far. Good job, Mason, definitely I like this aproach.I have some issues, tough:If I am right, I should rename framework.py to __init__.py to use framework as a pakage.However, when I do it and import with: import framework, it seems that all functions are accessible from the framework rooth. example: framework.initialize()is this behavior expected? i'd like to call functions from submodules as I was doing before renaming framework.py, for compatibility with other examples and readability. I prefer window.initialize.What is the pythonic way in this case? How do you use framework? Renaming or not? AM I doing something completely wrong?Thanks in advance.

Re: Just wanted to provide an update on Max-Lib
Re: Just wanted to provide an update on Max-Lib First of all, all my support and thanks for your project. Projects like this can help the blind gamers community a lot: new games, more developers...However, to be clear, I feel really confused by sentences like: the mainstream game industry wants to take control of the accessibility gaming. Really? As I stated on another thread, we, as a community, have almost no real value as consumer's. The last of us 2, the last guess joining this party, will sell millions of copies, as the first installment on th series did, and of all that money, how much will come from blind or accessibility interested users? 1000 dollars around the world? 5000, maybe? The problem we have as blind gamers is exactly the oposite: nobody has comercial interesd on us, we are not the target.So, in my case, each and every step towards a more accessible game experience is more than welcome. When a mainstream developer tries to make a game more visually impaired friendly, far from thinking: oh, no, they want to take control of our community! I'd say: thanks and we are here to help if necessary, good job!Just my thoughts URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/536377/#p536377 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Let's make an audio game engine!
Re: Let's make an audio game engine! VERY interesting topic and discussion. In any case, from my point of view, a little thing like bgt is simple and restrained by its own limitations, so it makes sense as a starting point for newcommers to the coding world, but a complete engine from scratch? What is the point? In my case, my main language is c sharp, so if I decide to make a game I'd use monogame or any stable game engine, there is no chance that someone with poor knowledge in c sharp could use a whole engine and create a successful game, so using a kind of amateur engine would result in even more difficulties. Engines are hard to master because there is not a simple way to make things work. I mean, when mono game, or any other engine was designed, their developers tried to make it as simple as possible, but you can't simplify much more some complex things.Hope it makes sense, excuse my english.

Re: C# When to use boxing?
Re: C# When to use boxing? Hey!Just one more thing: sometimes boxing can be confused with polimorphism, both concepts share the same sintax usually, so if you create a class that implements two interfaces, iupdateable and ipositionable, you can use this class like its own, like an iupdateable or like an ipositionable item. In this case, you use the same sintax: ipositionable pos = (ipositionable) myPolimorphicObject1;Hope it helps.

Re: C# When to use boxing?
Re: C# When to use boxing? Hi there,Boxing and unboxing are fully supported in c sharp. It is not used so often as before but still useful.Imagine you have developed a system that can store objects, for serialization or whatever reason, and you want to store two things: an instance of the class gameobject and an integer. No problem, your system can handle the first one because it's a class instance, ence an object, but you cannot do the same with an integer like: int num = 30, unless you apply boxing. so, box num into an object and you are ready to go, any function that accepts an object as a parameter will work with your boxed num.hope it helps, excuse my english and my mobile keyboard, please URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/491152/#p491152 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Need help about looping functions in pyglet
Re: Need help about looping functions in pyglet Just a sidenote: Magurp244 explained it clearly as always but I would suggest, from my experience, that using a physics library will make your life much easier if you are developing a complex game. As an example, instead of moving the bullet manually each timestep, you set the bullet's velocity and orientation then the engine will update everything for you.It's not for everybody but consider it. My main programing language is c#, but I am sure there will be good python physics engines out there.

Re: Platformer audio cues list
Re: Platformer audio cues list Hi there,Very interesting topic, but there is a question (maybe more philosophical than practical) I'd like to share.Sik said (sorry, I don't know how to use quotations on this forum):And yeah, my problem with blind-friendly platformers is that they simplify the design in order to make it easier to cram in everything. I completely refuseto do that, I'm being stubborn here.Here, the keyword is resolution: hearing and seeing are different senses, each one useful for a different kind of situations, and hearing has evolved to bring mankind the resolution their ears cannot. Sight offers much more positional location information, so, I fear you cannot create the same experience using only audio. In the best case, with an excellent sound cue representation, you would design a very complex game which, compared to an equivalent videogame, would take much more efford to master.Ok, you'd design a fully accessible Sonic 3 experience, but a player would need 3 months to master their skills for the level 12, while a sightted kid could do it in a couple of days.And here is another "philosophical" question: why? I'm not wondering "why is it much harder"? It's much harder cause seeing is specially useful to collect information about what's around you; but a second reason is simple: you are translating, and any translation sacrifices information. A videogame is primarily a video based game, and a platformer is a great example of that. You can add a lot of extra helpers to make it easier to navigate and use, but it's nothing but an addition, on the backend, you are creating a videogame which includes helpers.Audiogames have a short history, and there are only a few complex tittles, basically, we haven't experimented enougth to create our own formulas and we try to make versions of our favorite videogames for the blind.How is a game designed fr om the scratch to act like a platformer using only audio? I have no idea (not sure if it is doable), but in my opinion there are two ways:1. Simplify a regular visual platformer to make it easy to translate to audio.or 2: try new aproaches, even aproaches that aren't realistic at all (mario or sonic play in a world that is visually entertaining, but it's not realistic at all). I think it's important to remember that you are trying to create entertaining challenges, not a simulation environment, so the question is not: how can I make this platform accessible? but: what kind of challenge could I implement in a world of sounds?Have a nice day, topics like that are always welcome.

Re: Learning Python
Re: Learning Python @TJ.BreitenfeldtIt's important to take some previous notes about how your program will work once finished before starting. If you don't, you will rewrite and rewrite code again. Example:1. There will be a main menu.2. THis menu will contain elements.3. You can select each element and then something happens.It could feel ridiculous, but if you didn't,... Example:Oh, I have 4 different kinds of menus, each has its own features, but now I'd like to log all the activity, so... let's code our menus again.Wait, I have implemented the logging feature, but now each menu element returns a string that is added to the log, and I'd like to make my program easy translatable, so I need that each element returns an integer that then is converted to a string according to the choosen language... Let's rewrite all again! Etc.There are a lot of ways to organize your code, depending on your needs. A basic understanding of some of the most common design paterns would help you too. Take a look at the infamous Gang of Four book (GoF), or google for gang of four paterns:http://www.gofpatterns.com/design-patte … nefits.phpBasically, a patern is an organization model for your code that works with any programing language. For example, the observer paterns (also known as event driven patern) implements a messaging sistem whitch allows you objects, functions or whatever, sending messages to other members, such like: hey there! I'm X and someone has just killed me. Or: hey, server, an user instance has send a message to chatroom X... But it's being a boring and long post, time to leave.Hope this helps.

Oh, and really I don't understand some of those breaks... but it runs Talking about global variables, I cannot fi
gure out why someone prevent you from using global variables. In fact, some variables you used (score, turn...) are global variables. It's specially hard to avoid their use working under a non object oriented paradigm as you did in your example, you will need a place to store and share information sooner or later.

Re: Is learning visual basic worth it?
Re: Is learning visual basic worth it?
I there!Well, I am curious and like to experiment, so, after reading this discusion, I wondered: why so many people recommens python and not visual basic?It's a language that depens on iddentation, and last night I had a nightmare about debugging 1000 lines trying to figure out how many spaces and tabs are on each line So, let's give visual basic a try.The results? In 15-20 minutes I finished a rendering window (without using windows forms), a basic gameloop, whitch accepts keyboard input, so if you press M, it shows a message from a string variable, and if you press C, the game closes.It took 15-20 minutes (with pauses to research how to declare variables and include refferences, etc), and there are no more than 20-30 lines.Note: I used sfml (an external media library), and tried to minimize .net framework elements.It's my
first experience with visual basic, so, my opinion is that you can use it to make games easily (though intelli-sense works much better with c#). If you know a bit of basic, even the old one, go ahead, it's easy and your way will be much more easy with all that previous knowledge.Some advantages:Visual basic has a good readability, no {}, no semicolons, and statements use some english words instead.Fast and easy integration with .net framework (now open source).A free accessible ide (visual studio community 2013, or 2015, though it still have some accessibility bugs).Fast and easy windows form designer, etc.I can post the code here if anyone is interested. If someone could repeat the experiment using python we could compare results.Have a nice day!

Re: Is learning visual basic worth it?
Hi there,Sorry, Steve, but as I said, visual basic is totally new for me and I have no time to code examples (anyway, my examples will not be more useful, my visual basic knowledge is near to 0).THis is what I tried yesterday:1. CCreates and shows a window.2. Subscribe two methods to their events, and each method is declared below.3. WHen you press m: displays a message.4. when you press c, the application closes.Please, note that this code could be buggy and probably a real visual basic developer will never forget me for doing this... thing.You need references to sfml library on your project in order to make it work:Imports SFML.SystemImports SFML.WindowModule MainModule Dim MainWindow As New Window(SFML.Window.VideoMode.DesktopMode, "Hello, world") Sub Main() AddHandler MainWindow.KeyPressed, AddressOf OnKeyPressedEvent
p; AddHandler MainWindow.Closed, AddressOf OnClosedEvent MainWindow.Display() While True MainWindow.DispatchEvents() End While End Sub Public Sub OnClosedEvent(source As Object, e As EventArgs) MainWindow.Close() End Sub Public Sub OnKeyPressedEvent(source As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Select Case e.Code Case Keyboard.Key.M MsgBox("Hello, world, again!")

Re: Learning Programming, Where Shall I Begin?
Re: Learning Programming, Where Shall I Begin? Hi, Tiffany,Well, bgt manual provides a short compilation of all concepts you will use in any programing language (specially oriented object programing languages). Set your screen reader to anounce all punctuation marks and be patient!If you need clarification, just post here your doubts.Learning any language (even programing languages) is not a linear process, but an exponential one. The more you understand, the faster you learn, so you could need two weeks to understand the first chapter, but only another to understand the second, and just three days to apply what you learned on the third one As usual, all solved enigms seems too easy once solved.

Re: Visual Studio 2015 released @Victorious, thanks for your information! Hope it will be solved soon.Just a question: how do you report bugs and track their status? I usually work with Visual Studio but I have no idea how to do that.@Ethin, the point is that in previous versions you can turn line numbers on and off, thats why we said its a bug. Now, Visual Studio anounces line numbers even if you choose not to show them in options/editor prefferences.Its a interesting feature when debugging, but a bit annoying when writing code.Have a nice day!

for those who asked for a mud client code
Nights!This evening Ive just bored, so I wrote a small, simplest mud client in c# and .net. There is a text box for the output, another for the input, and a button to connect (by default to alteraeon.com, I havent played muds for a long time, and it was the first one I remembered). I supose its not visually friendly, but its readable with a screen reader. feel free to modify, reuse code, ask anything, or whatever.Minimum functions as follows:-Use the connect button to connect to the server-Press enter to send text to the server.-Navigate to the other textbox to read output.I used visual Studio 2013 Community to code and compile.And its all. Download all the sample (including a compiled version and source code) from:https://www.dropbox.com/s/s9j7ncmuvyd5q … 1.zip?dl=1The compiled version is in mudclient1/bin/debug/mudclient1.exe, or somewhat... If you are just curious, you can read the main code with some comments belowIf you find bugs and possible improvements, just take that as your next exercise! No idea if I will improve it anymore And now, some code:using System.Net.Sockets;using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.ComponentModel;using System.Data;using System.Drawing;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Threading.Tasks;using System.Windows.Forms;namespace mudclient1{ public partial classForm1 : Form{// Fields neededprivate NetworkStream stream; private TcpClient tcpClient = new TcpClient(); private Timer MainTimer;//Constructorpublic Form1(){ InitializeComponent(); // creates a new instance of the timer class and setts its interval property // this timers receives data and refreshes the screen MainTimer = new Timer(); MainTimer.Interval = 1600; // the event for the timer MainTimer.Tick += MainTimer_Tick; }// This method writes to the networkstreamprivate void WriteIn(string input){ byte[] writeBuffer; input += Environment.NewLine; if (stream.CanWrite) {writeBuffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(input);stream.Write(writeBuffer, 0, writeBuffer.Length); }}// This one reads from the network streamprivate string ReadOut(){ if (stream.CanRead) {byte[] myReadBuffer = new byte[1024];StringBuilder myCompleteMessage = new StringBuilder();int numberOfBytesRead = 0;// Incoming message may be larger than the buffer size. do{ numberOfBytesRead = stream.Read(myReadBuffer, 0, myReadBuffer.Length);myCompleteMessage.AppendFormat({0}, Encoding.ASCII.GetString(myReadBuffer, 0, numberOfBytesRead));}while (stream.DataAvailable); return myCompleteMessage.ToString(); } else { return Error: Cannot read from the network stream.; }}// This method connects to the server void Connect() { if (tcpClient.Connected) {MessageBox.Show(You are already conected to the server.);return; } try {// Initialize TCPClient object and connect tcpClient.Connect(alteraeon.com, 3000);// Initialize networkStream and set timeout propertystream = tcpClient.GetStream();stream.ReadTimeout = 2000;// writes received data to the screenWriteLine(ReadOut());// lets launch our timerMainTimer.Start(); }// catching exceptions catch (SocketException ex) {WriteLine(Socket Error: + ex.Message); } catch (Exception ex) {WriteLine(ERROR: + ex.Message); } }// This method prints text to the screen private void WriteLine(string text){ screenTextBox.Text += text;}// event fired when the button is activatedprivate void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ Connect(); }// this event checks if enter key is pressed and sends data from the text box to the serverprivate void inputTextBocx_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e){ if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) { WriteIn (inputTextBocx.Text);// lets clear the text box and prevent any other actioninputTextBocx.Clear();e.SuppressKeyPress = true; } }// method fired for each tick of the timerprivate void MainTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e){ // if there is data available if (stream.DataAvailable) {WriteLine(ReadOut()); }} }}

Re: BGT confusion
Re: BGT confusion
Good morning,First of all, you can disable scape key for your menu changing this line:admiral_menu.allow_escape = false;And I think your second menu doesnt redirect the player to the first one. Try something like:else if(orderchoice==8) {fleetmenu();}When your second function returns, the game has no more instructions to follow, so It closes.Hope this helps.

Re: suggestions on how to deal with destruction of a class?
Re: suggestions on how to deal with destruction of a class? Hi there,I fully agree, Genroa. A lot of people cannot develop cause they are reinventing the wheel again and again.Hum, curious, Camlorn saying we dont need more basis... But he is developing another audio library. Wait, wait, I see an incoming 500 words long post about what is and what is not a base...I mean any technology which make game developing easier, .We dont need new languages, absolutely not, but audio libraries and game classes and game components made for audiogames design may accelerate game creation exponentially.Most game engines (virtually all of them) are made with visual design in mind, so they are hard to deal with.Some use ides in witch you build a game project (like Unity), some use complex classes that make difficult to separate audio from graffical elements (like irrlicht/Irrklang).Templates, classes and engines are just what many developers are waiting for.Unfortunatelly, audio was not the most important part of a traditional game (take a look at any review of any new generation console, a lot of information about its graffical capabilities, nothing about sound). Designing visual games is easier than ever, but the audio part remains almost the same.Pygame, for example, has not 3d audio at all. And yes, you can add another library, or create your own, but Id like to add only a library to my projects and get out-of-the-box game classes, game components, math methods, high level audio management, physics, user input, etc, etc.Mainstream industry has its own priorities, and each audiogame developer writes code for his own use, so, yes, we need more bases and more sharing.Alternatively, we need an slave army of camlorn clones to solve all our questions, but I think we are nearer to the first option... lol!Just my opinion.

Re: moving in formation?
Re: moving in formation?
Good morning:Well, you can actually calculate the center of your formation, using the fartest unit to the left, the fartest unit to the right (plus) the fartest unit above and the fartest unit below. But, if I understand, you want to mantain this formation, so, the center is not enought. Imagine your formation includes 5 or 6 units, then some of those units are not used to calculate the center and you lose their relative positions.I suggest storing relative positions in a class or structure, Formation, and provide it with methods to move them and transform them.Please, be aware tat I write this code here without testing in bgt, and I havent used bgt for a long time, so take it like a kind of roadmap.In this example I use a vector/point class to store x and y coordinates , like:class Vector2d{double X;double Y;}Add some fields to your unit class:Class Unit{Vector2d Position;V
ector2d FormationRelativeCoordinates;}Now, create a formation class.Class Formation{Vector2d Center;Member[] Members;//Constructorpublic Formation(double xCentercoordinate, double yCenterCoordinate){Center.X= xCenterCoordinate;Center.Y= yCenterCoordinate;//Add code to initialize members array}}Each time you add a unit to the formation, you should calculate its relative coordinates and store it for each unit, you can implement a method for your unit class like:void AddToTheFormation(Formation formationParam){this.FormationRelativeCoordinates.X = this.Position.X - formationParam.Center.X;this.FormationRelativeCoordinates.Y = this.Position.Y - formationParam.Center.Y;}Finally, you can move your whole formation to another point implementing the corresponding method for your formation class:void Move (Vector2d newCoordinates){this.Center
= newCoordinates;//a loop foreach unit in our array, cannot remember sintax for bgt but like:For (int counter = 0; counter = Members.length(); counter++){Members[counter].Position.X = this.Center.X + Members[counter].FormationRelativeCoordinates.X;Members[counter].Position.Y = this.Center.Y + Members[counter].FormationRelativeCoordinates.Y;}}This way you can easyly implement zoom in and zoom out for your formation, scaling like:void Scaling (double scalingFactor){//another loop foreach unit in our array, cannot remember sintax for bgt but like:For (int counter = 0; counter = Members.length(); counter++){Members[counter].Position.X =scalingFactor * (this.Center.X + Members[counter].FormationRelativeCoordinates.X);Members[counter].Position.Y = scalingFactor * (this.Center.Y + Members[counter].FormationRelativeCoordinates.Y);}}Hope this helps

Re: How to produce professional recordings for games?
Re: How to produce professional recordings for games? Hi there,In my experience, as a musizian and singer, your recorder is not so important. Any recording device or software should be able to record high quality. You need a good microphone (depending on your needs: podcasting, singing...), and a good place for your studio. This is, no background noise (far enought from your computer, far enought from a Tv or from an open window), and, finally, a room with no echo or reverb. Some elements, like soffas, curtains, etc, can help a lot).A smaller room is better than a bigger one.In most cases, its virtually impossible to build a profesional sound studio at home. Simply prepare your room the best as you can, adjust volume to not recording too many background sounds, and use a software solution, like SondForge, audacity, GoldWave (for windows) or similar to clean your recording. Applying filters is a more complicated task, and requires some practice, just experiment. Be careful not to clean the sound t oo much or it will sound a little mechanical.Hope this helps.

Re: Want To Learn Programming
Re: Want To Learn Programming @camlornExcuse my english, as you noticed for sure its not my first language and some ideas are hard to explain for me, so maybe I expressed my point so bad.I know, c# is not popular in this comunitiy (I supose you mean adiogames?), but I think its not for the visual studio, its cause a lot of people says: its not accessible! use the command line!In my opinion, you can do with visual studio all what you can do with command line, but you cannot do with command line all what visual studio offers. This is a briev list of what I use every day in visual studio, only for those features, I code 50% faster than without the IDE:IntelliSense (fully accessible for the most parts, using jaws or nvda): write For, press tab a couple of times and you have your loop ready to use: the same for the most common snippets.Code completion, generally speaking, mantains your code without misstakes, and keeps consistency (variable nam es, formating, etc).Just type the name of a class, add a dot, and you obtain a menu with each property, field or method, that you can select with arrows and accept with another keypress. And finally,when you select a method, or you type it, you are presented with context help that gives you information about the parameters and a briev description.A simple debugging line by line could help a lot, following code execution that you can read in your code editor.The integrated IDE allows you to creatte folders and add resources (dlls, sounds, images) in a windows classical tree view, an invalable feature to mantain big projects.Adding new pakage libraries, lets say Mono Game, canot be easier: navigate to the corresponding menu, open the nuGet tool, select your pakage and press install.And what about windows forms? Select and add controls to a form with some key presses, edit their properties (text, etc), show a list of their events and write c ode for each one...Sure, there are developers who use command line tools, but... how many?Please, if some of those features are abailable for python, Id like to know, I want to experiment with it (python is a powerful language, acording to profesionals).Maybe Im lossing some great advantage of writing code in notepad, but I dont know a faster way to create a couple of windows, write some algoritms and compyle than visual studio. THe same for a game (using XNA, certainly you have to install it before...)Thanks for your time!

Re: Want To Learn Programming
Re: Want To Learn Programming Hi there, and thanks for your information.I use visual Studio 2013, with both Jaws and NVDA. Im not a profesional developer, obviously, but I have some experience programing for personal purposes: scripting, some criptography games, tools for audio editing, a couple of engines to search and download files from file sharing services, plus contributions to standart visual amateur games, ETC.My workflow is as follows: once my application is ready, I ask a sighted friend to format and arrange controls on the forms I made. Its not perfect, but again, doing it by command line dont solve tthe problem.Autocompletion and intelliSense works well for me, no workaronds needed... Looking variable values certainly are not accessible friendly, but, well, notepad dont let you anything simmilar .You have o learn some keystrokes, but no more than 6 (toolbars and contextual menus will save the day)..; on the other hand, you will not need anymore commands for compyling, lists and more lists of properties, fields, classes, etc, etc, cause you can select dinamically from the corresponding menu, and intellisense remembers recent selections...I am not saying Im not able to memorise new keywords, as Sherlock Holmes said: Sometimes I have to delete something!. Lol.The reasons that made me interested in Python are: cross platform capabilities, its numerical computing performance and pure curiosity...However, c# or any .net, in my opinion, are fully usable to develop windows forms applications and simple games (VIsual Studio 2013 and Jaws 16 or NVDA). Its fast, secure and free. Anyways, I understand python its a much better option to develop powerful tools and port them to other platforms.@TwardI completelly agree, I admit, its nothing but a personal prefer ence. What Im trying to say its that a lot of people think there is no alternative, and fortunately, its not te case. It was when I started programing: or notepad or nothing!(Ah, thanks for your great games).I have to finish a translation to c# of the language tutorial included in BGT... One day...

Re: Want To Learn Programming
Re: Want To Learn Programming Hi there,Its not my intention to start a proselitist party here... just some ideas that could be interesting for you:Why python? If you are interested in developing games, Its not exactly the most popular language. Obviously, its not a popularity matter, but you will find examples and more examples in other languages.The same if you want to develop a windows form application. Its important cause first steps of any learning way are not specially fun, and (in my opinion), starting with a higher level language (any .net, maybe), make things easier and more entertaining, as you can creatte windows forms applications the easy way, experiment with sounds and capture keyboard events just out of the box, etc.I know, some folks think that the easiest way to learn is the good old command line style, but in my opinion its not necessary: there are free ides to develop in c# or visual basic.net, fully accessible, and, for someone who work ed all of his life with grafical user interfaces, much easier to understand: select a button control, add it to your project, press enter, add your code like:messageBox.Show(Hello world);, and you have a full application runing in 20 seconds, with window, a button, and and action that happens when you press this button. There are a lot of sites explaining each little keyword of the language, and more examples than you will ever need, ready to copy, paste and compyle.And modern integrated development environments are, nowadays, essential to creatte modern applications (and they incorporate tools and more tools to help you).Ok, its not essential, you always can start a fire by rubbing two sticks, but...

If not, place here and there some messageboxes to debug your code and detect exactly if hotkeyset() is never executed, plus others inside a target function (a(), for example). this way you can determine if the function does its work when you press the corresponding key.No more ideas here, hope this helps.

If not, place here and there some messageboxes to debug your code and detect exactly if hotkeyset() is never executed, plus others inside a target function (a(), for example). this way you can determine if the function does its work when you press the corresponding key.No more ideas here, hope this helps.

Re: can you help me solve this error please?
Re: can you help me solve this error please? Hi there,I havent autoit3 installed anymore, so I cannot test it, but I think this is the answer, from the documentation page:It is recommended to use lower-case keys/characters (e.g. b and not B) when setting hotkeys to avoid errors as with some keyboard layouts upper and lower case keys may be mapped differently.Plus it could be a little confusing... I suggest you to try with something like:HotKeySet(a, a_function)func a_function() SoundPlay(sounds\a.wav)EndFuncHope this helps.

Re: How can I use screen reader apies in .net?
Hi, @camlornThank you very much for your help, its runing perfectly now.I paste my code below, could be interesting for someone://First, add the corresponding using:using System.Runtime.InteropServices;// Then declare the class:public class screenreader {//use this directive to inport the file located on the same folder of your executable[DllImport(UniversalSpeech.dll, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]//now, the function itself, inported from UniversalSpeech.dll public static extern IntPtr speechSay(string text, bool value);//your code, etc}//last but not least, you can call this method anywhere like that o say a string:screenreader.speechSay(Hello, world, true); It doesnt use more powerful capabilities on the universalSpeech library, but you can inport any other functi
on just the same way.Have a nice day,Alan.
