Re: [Audyssey] the word control in accessible gaming
Nickol it's very simple in the English languate. Control is an action you are performing the task what you want the command, character, or thing to do. element is a word of science so is control as well they are both synomyms in a way. Synonym means two words that mean the same. I hope I explained it right to you if not all you audio gamers can help explain this matter to him, better then I can. your friend, Jason - Original Message - From: nicol [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Audyssey Blind gaming Gamers discussion list Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 1:43 PM Subject: [Audyssey] the word control in accessible gaming Ok folks Here's another word that fascinates me. Game controls. Its really interesting. Devs, correct me on this one if I'm wrong. Folks, can you compare dialogue box controls with game controls? A control in a dialogue box is anything you can tab to in that dialogue box, well a static box is also a dialogue box control but you can't tab to it. So anything, list boxes, edit boxes, anything in a dialogue is called a control. Also, the system menu in a program containing options such as minimize, maximize and close is called a control menu. But what can we classify as controls in games? Can I say that the movement of my character is called a control? Why did some devs chose to use the word control instead of element? Lets take sod for example. Can I say that each room in a level of sod is called a control? Why did programmers chose to use the word control in a dialogue box in any case? Its not a word that will make sense to the man on the street. The man on the street will know what you are talking about if you refer to a field in a dialogue box. In normal English control means you take control of something, I control my child. You're in charge of it, you're taking control of it. So can we call movement in a game a game control? Can I sayh that the function of firing a gun is also a game control? Why did devs also chose to refer to game elements as game controls? Its just very interesting ___ Gamers mailing list ..

I want to take the initiative to discuss certain words in the English language; their connotation to accessible gaming.I don't hope anyone minds. The word happen is very interesting. Let me tell you why the word happen is so interesting to me in accessible gaming. I was listening to thetrupenum review on main menu. When the guy was about to load the trupenum game he said: All right, lets press control+alt+t and see what happens. Its interesting that he use the word happens. The moment you press a hot key or you select a program to open, you can say once that program is starting up, its something that is happening. If I download a game and I'm trying out the demo and I have never ever listened to a review of this game and I start it up and I am amazed by the sound when it starts up, I say: wow, something interesting happened just now. I just like the word happen. When you forget the food on the stove, it happens that the food overcooks. When you have a bottle of ginger beer and you open it too quickly, it happens that the ginger beer overcooks. Just the same with accessible gaming, if you take a wrong action like opening the electric door in sod, if you deny to do something in a game like jumping too late over a barrol, something happens accordingly or if you do something good in a game like successfully killing a creature, something happens accordingly. I like the word happen. I don't know why. In games certain things happen if you do certain things. If you don't jump over a soer lid it happens that you fall down a soer. Developers writes if functions, in other words if the player does this, this wil happen. If I'm playing sod and I open a door and I'm hearing a syborg, its something happening. It happens that the syborg appeared in that room. So whether a game starts up when you press a hot key or open it via the programs menu, or anything in a game, its something happening. The use of the word happen can never be omited in any game. Can you think of any accessible game where the use of the word happen isn't necesary? But its most fascinating that you can say: something is happening now: if a game starts up. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Hi Søren, This happens because I made the doors smaller than the door frames. So at certain angles you can detect objects or rooms inside the doors.

In the December 2005 public demo I had the penKnife in such a space so people could detect it but not get it.

Re: [Audyssey] Fantacy game?
Hi Niko, Well, in the event you were flying on dragons or you needed a truly 3D maze such as going up staircases etc you might want a 3D array to store the entire game level. Though the math and coding involved is just slightly more complex going 3D. With 2D some trig functions can serve pretty well but as you add extra demmentions to the game the math skill goes up some. However, staircases can be faked. You can have a staircase item in your array and when you cross it load a new level which represents a new floor in 2D space rather than an actual complete 3D maze. Some games do need 3D complexity if you have different levels with in the same level of the game. Such as if you have to climb up or jump on to a platform to get to where you want to go. Niko C wrote: Yes, I would like to se this game be first person. You are right that it would be 2d because you just walk around in four directions but you might also want to think about going upstairs or flying on dragons. As for voice acting, I know not everyone could do a very good job but it could be possible. Thee are several blind people who act on darker projects (www.darkerprojects.com) and do a pretty good job. Darker projects if you don't know is a place where they make audio drama. It is pretty good actually. And there is nothing wrong with just one developper building the game but if more than one developper could work on it that would be even better. Like I said, I'd be more than willing to help out were needed (especially audio). Don't be afraid to state the practical side of this. I'd love to be able to make a good fantacy game but of course it takes more work than people think. I am aware of this. Thanks. Niko C. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Question about grizzly gulch.
You help catch the rats in order to get some info from the innkeeper. The info you are seeking is the whereabouts of bad guys. You then go and get those bad guys.

Hey all, I know grizzly gulch has been discussed on here before, but a friend of mine is currently playing it and is kind of stuck for a couple of reasons, some of which may be technical in nature. I am sorry if these questions are a bit vague, but it is difficult for me to tell exactly what is going on as she is in Washington and I am in California, and it's a bit hard to play the game by phone lol. She does not seem able to get past the part where you catch the rats, and I am not sure if the game is being weird or if she is just having difficulty. So my question is, have any of you had difficulty with this on an xp box? I seem to recall the game having some sound problems with newer machines/operating systems. Her second problem I am pretty sure is just that she is not doing something in the game. She has not been able to get into the marshal's office to get missions. I seem to recall that you have to do something or other to make this happen, she has thwarted many bank robberies but this has done no good. Anyone recall what you have to do here? I would install the thing and play it myself but I am still running my secondary system with the crappy inbuilt soundcard that I am almost positive would cause me problems. Any help on these matters would really be appreciated. I've not played this all the way through for several years now and I just don't recall these things. Thanks in advance.

I like the 3d game idea. Make a 3-dimmentional array or how ever it's done in other programming languages. You have your x y and z instead of x and y. It would be a little more complecated but I'd really like to see a really good game. A lot of people who code accessible games don't have a lot of time on their hands and that is why good games can't be made but accessible games that are being made right now are out of date.

I am a fan of the 50's 60's 70's music and old games as well. But I also listen to the new stuff that is out today as well. I am also a fan of the old time radio and sports games that Gary Widington puts up on his sight. sometimes I listen to old movies and old classic games and I wish I could go back in time to relive these events as well. and I also wish some times the old days would come back again because this world can be cruel at times and even then. The point is who cares in my opinion what kind of game it is just be appriciative of what the gaming developers have to put in for their time of developing the game.

This kind of reminds me of my college dorm mates first reaction when they discovered I had a large stash of 80's, 70's, and 80's rock bands in my cd case, and their first responce was, Man, that is as old as dirt. That stuff is crap. Why don't you stop living in a time warp, and listen to snoop Dog, Scar Face, etc?. My answer then is the same as today. Just because something is old doesn't make it bad. Peoples taistes may change, interest might change, but the workmanship that whent into that song or game hasn't changed. In it's day back in 1984 Montezuma's Revenge was hugely popular just like the Betals, Beach boys, Rolling Stones, etc were back in the 1960's. Just because a few years have gone by I don't think people have stopped listening to the Betals or stopped playing Montezuma's Revenge. In fact the only reason they aren't popular any more is a new generation has sprang up to replace them, and they have different interests than the old generation that grew up with Monty or the Betals. Keep in mind the entire intent of remaking Montezuma's revenge is to capture the original game in all it's glory in accessible format. If I do as you say and put in allot of 21st century influences then the game is no longer Montezuma's Revenge. Let's think of it this way. Is there a sighted game you really want to play like Mortal Combat, Doom III, Stark Trek Elite Force, Star Wars Empire at War, etc? Ok, say I were making that game, a game you wanted to play because it was your favorite game and it wasn't accessible. How many of my own changes would you want me to make in the game? Take out a special game level that was in that game, add levels that aren't there, drop out certain bonus items, etc... ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Not for the list and not for Draconis Entertainment. Any merchant processing a credit card will get one of two answers. Approve or Decline. That is it. If they get an approve message, they will also get an approval code and process the order. If they get a decline, they get no further information because it can be declined for many reasons. A decline does not mean you are a bad person, it does not mean you don't have the money. A decline is just that, a decline. Maybe your bank is having a bad day. -- Raul A.

I don't understand why my visa-card doesn't work in the shop. I'm always getting the following message: Your credit card was declined. Please try another card or contact your bank for more info. I'm sure my credit card works. I have tried to ordre the game directly from the game and sended my ordre in a mail to Phil, but he said you haven't set up a vendor shopping card so he can complete the ordre. It could be nice if you could set up the vendor shopping card to Phil so I can use my credit card. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Things to know when you order Sarah
Sorry everyone you can disreguard my message about the creditcard message I sent to Soron. Since I read that he was able to use his card in other gaming shops. yourfriend, Jason - Original Message - From: Søren Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 1:23 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Things to know when you order Sarah Hi Raul. I'm sorry to post this on the list because it's a bit off topic, but here is my answer: My credit card does work in other online shops but not in the Draconiss shop. But I'll see if I can set up a paypal account. If other have successfully ordered some games in Draconiss shop useing their credit card, please led me know by sending a mail off the list.
