HI all
while watching my favorite soapie I heard in the story that a mother and her
son is playing a psp game together.
I have no idea what the genre is, I guess its 3d or side scroller.
both of them have a joystick AND THEY TRY TO BEAT ONE ANOTHER.
IT WILL BE VERY NICE IF 2 PEOPLE COULD PLAY
Hello list I am just checking emial my favorite game Jim's NFL game, I won 2
superbowls one which was an undefeated season and I am on my way to winning a
third superbowl with a 12 and 2 record. Otherwise I like playing in the dark
or the baseball gme as well. However I like all the other
Hi Jim,
Yeah, I have to say I am pretty interested in my new version of
Mysteries of the Ancients. The main reason is that it is the first time
I really sat down and got to write an original game story from front to
back by myself, and it involves a topic I like which is Greek mythology.
My
Hi,
I think the real challenge here is not getting two input devices to control
two separate entities at the same time--this is very easily done if the game
is coded properly and made to accomodate very generic input from the
start--rather, preventing one player from being confused by
Hi,
Well, Snowball War isn't the only accessible game that has a built in
two player mode. I know, for instance, Jim Kitchen's Monopoly will allow
you to set it up for two player mode. I believe his Life game will also
let you play against a computer or a human player.
As far as two player
Hi Munawar,
Those are some very good points. About the only way to avoid such an
instance where a person would have to purchase an extra sound card or a
controller is make the two player mode turn based like in the classic
Atari games.
Take a game like Packman. Player 1 would start out zoom
Hi all
As for being able to play an opponent over the net I think it's a great
idea and have even done a few times with Sound RTS but still would like more
chances.
I think the difficulty as has been said is the way it is implimented.
The suggestion Thomas had of taking turns such as in
Better yet, why not use net play. I mean come on most people now and days
have two computers. Heck, I got 15 computers in this house hold alone.
Any way, net play or lan play how ever you want to call it should be
included in games. And have at least two keys when you buy a game if it is
a two
Also keep in mind, the computer itself would need to be able to distinguish
what's going on with a multiple keyboard/joystick environment. Since the
computer typically expects one of each, any more than that and they'll be
fighting one another for control over the same thing. That's why most

I know that several computers have the ability to connect two keyboards;
seems that it'd just be a matter of adding the capability into the game
itself.

Couldn't the multi-channel capability of sound cards be implemented to take
care of the cutting-off issue? Let one player come through 1 channel, and
the other through another channel?n'Coud

Hi Matthew,
I agree that network or peer to peer play is probably the best for
todays multi-player games, but if you want to play against someone else
in your own house hold that can be quite expensive. That would require
at least two or more computers to be present on an internal lan inorder

Hi James,
Actually, Microsoft DirectInput and XInput can obtain input from
multiple joysticks simaltaniously without effecting each other. You
merely have to enumerate all the attached joysticks and create an object
for each instance found. So input is actually the least of our troubles.
Hi,
Yeah, I know. I'm not sure DirectX will allow a game to poll from
multiple keyboards though. I suppose you could create multiple keyboard
objects, and then you could enumerate all the keyboards so the keyboard
objects are not pointing to the same keyboard device. It is

This is correct. With current technology, as I said before, it's no problem
to have two (or more) input devices sending data simultaneously to a
program. It can be done very easily.

Just because you can connect 2 keyboards doesn't mean you can use both at
the same time. They both control the same cursors, so will be fighting each
other for control. It's not a game-specific problem.

I'm guessin that would be possible, however, that wouldn't work unless you
bought a splitter to have each channel going to a head set or speakers.
Which, trying to tell a blind person how to do that can lead to a thread on

Hi,
I'd say that would be very unlikely. Even if It could be done you have
no idea how much extra memory and CPU power it would take to basically
position two or more complete different audio environments
symaltaniously. Not to mention I still don't see how you could keep from
confusing both
Hi James,
In a typical Windows application like Notepad, Word, Works, etc you
would be absolutely correct. That is because of the way the Windows
keyboard event mottle was designed. It was designed for only one
keyboard input device.
However, Microsoft's DirectX technology is quite a bit

Your forgetting one thing on the keyboard aspect. hmm, BIOS, if you
hook up two keyboards they will act as one. For it to work you would
have to go keyboard specific and that is hard to do with a lot of
keyboards listed as generic in the driver list.
That is why joy sticks came to be.

Hi,
Just wanted to let you all that Humanity MOO is back up and running thanks
to James for the hosting.
Host: nova.the-jdh.com
Port: 4000
As far as progress goes, I'll be coding a new space system, which will be a
major project. It'll lose the Miriani feel and have more of a realistic
interface
I've got a suggestion.
