[Audyssey] Question about winboard
Hi. Sinse I can't obviously test this one lacking Jaws, I'm going to have to ask. Does the winboard program actually have a computer opponent to play chess against? or does it only explain the moves to you and allow you to play against another human opponent as the accessible chess tutor does. Depending upon which it does, will defign which catagory it goes in on the database (we've been trying to really sort out the game genres recently). Beware the Grue!

Hi, Quote I also see on the Next Up site that the Nuance RealSpeakl™ Voices and Acapela Voices say Note: These voices are sold only as part of TextAloud. So does that mean that they will not work with my games and other sapi5 programs and games? End quote No, that is not what it means. What it means is that you can only buy those voices if you own or have purchased Text Aloud. They are still fully Sapi 5.x compatible and will work with any Sapi 5 compliant application.

Re: [Audyssey] Gamebooks was: Thoughts about new text adventures.
Hi Dark, That is very interesting. i'll have to check that out. Yeah, gamebooks can be very fun to play now and then. dark wrote: Hi Tom. I must admit I'm getting to be a bit of a gamebook nut. You have the story and plot elements of interactive fiction, often with puzles, but a sympler interface, and factors such as character stats which can be used to resolve combat, or reward the player. Gamebooks of course alter a lot in quality, but generally they're deffinately fun. On the same subject, I've actually just come across some other pdf gamebooks from the 80s, published in various game book related magazines. i initially thought that like many old gamebooks on sites like home of the underdogs, these where streight image scans, but it turns out they actually have text, which means they can be converted and played.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts about new text adventures.
Hi Dark, Well, speaking from experience here creating an entire world from scratch is turning out to be very hard work indeed. You litterally have to create the worlds religion, myths, legends, history, as well as the world itself from scratch. I think that is why some RPG games just go for the roll based combat and lacks depth in the back story. Either that or someone bases an RPG on a known universe like Star Wars. For example, in between work on MOTA I have started jotting down notes for the RPG game. One thing I noticed is all the things I don't know about my new world. Its history, different realms, heroes, villens, religion, etc. It might take me months to write up a basic draft of the world before I can even write a simple text adventure. If I wanted to be lazy about it I could save myself loads of time by using an existing world, but then that might ruin the fun of creating something totally new. Smile. dark wrote: Hi Tom. The situation of the Syth rpg you mention sounds disturbingly familiar. Long before I found audiogames, i was trying out literally thousands of those sorts of games, and Sryth is the only one I found to actually feature backstory, quests and a true world to explore. there are a couple of games which are mechanically nice in terms of their explorable areas such as Kingdom of Loathing, but while an incredibly fun litle game, it's not something I can take too seriously as a coherent world and story, which is probably why I've never really had the patience to actually work a character through the game. I would however absolutely, totally and completely recommend the chronicles of Arborell. Fantastic writing, huge gamebooks, and really amazing background material. the world is incredibly unique with it's own races and history, and there really is so much of the story which needs to be pieced together. Also, there are main characters with backstory in the main gamebook series. The gm is also great about accessibility issues (he's even got a forum for Vi accessibility).

Re: [Audyssey] Neospeech Kate?
I've always thought he sounded like a no-nonsense British newscaster. I occasionally use him and the other Scansoft voies I have for Window-Eyes but like you I find the response time too slow for my typing speed. That basically leaes me with Dectalk or Eloquence most of the time, which I don't particularly care for, or even, shudder, the Microsoft voices. They work fine for games at least, so I can at least be free of Microsoft Sam.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim's Monopoly question
Hmmm Jim. the Ai programming does make sense, though I do admit I would sometimes like multiple monopoly opponents to play against. The master option didn't actually occur to me, though certainly on the occasions i've played winlife or monopoly myself with friends we've only had the one person typing, and I can see that method working in live chat or skype calls. On the other hand though, it might be a personal thing, but I do like to physically look around the board and see what is or is not free, check how much catch I've got as opposed to my opponent etc. Pluss, for play by E-mail or forum mail monopoly, i couldn't really imagine using a master and several others. I ttherefore put the dice rolling thing to you as a suggestion, perhaps combined with the ability to have a text file of the board setup either saved or spoken, which players could pass around if necessary. If this would be a pest to do or nobody thinks it's a good idea, fair enough. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] game recommendations.
Jim, you are more than welcome. It is we the gamers who should be thanking you for writing all of the hand to ear games and writing them for free for we to enjoy. So it is we who should be thanking you. I call them as i see them. My brother and I will try pretty much anything that comes down the pike. Then we'll offer our opinion on if it is blind friendly or not.If we feel that it is something that we and our blind frined can and would be interested in playing? Then we'll say way and recommend it to all we know to test it out for themselves. If it is not blind friendly? Then we'll say why and hopefully from a blind person's point of view will recommend what they might think about doing to make it enjoyable for blind players. This is the duty of a true gamer with a disability. Because how is the off the shelf gaming company going to know our needs if we don't explain our needs and show them the proffits that they're missing out from our business on their product? So thanks once again Jim For your emagination behind your game. For taking the time out to write your games. Also for the price is right for most of the disabled gamers out there who might not be able to afford some of the more expensive games. So thanks once again.

Re: [Audyssey] Jim's Monopoly question
Hi Dark, Allot of people do now play my monopoly game in chat rooms, skype calls, party phone chat lines etc. I do not see the need to be able to enter the number of the dice roll. You just have one person as the game master running the game and doing as the player wants on their turn. Now as I said to Ari about the multiple computer players in the game. The thing is, the artificial intelligence for multiple computer players is beyond my artificial intelligence programming ability. Truthfully it was a real strain on my brain just to have one computer player. Now to have more than one and have them do things like initiate and make trades, I just don't want to put my brain over the edge and it still not work out. I mean it took several versions just to get one computer player to play and not have lots and lots of complaints about it's abilities.

[Audyssey] the gamebooks of Arborell
The Arborell gamebooks have been brought to my attention through the gamers' list, so I went to the website and checked the game out, never having played a gamebook before. I downloaded it, (two zip files,) put them on my Pac Mate and, upon discovering it needed stats sheets and combat resolution sheets and dice, I starting an Excel spreadsheet. It keeps track of everything and rolls two dice whenever any variable is changed. For example, in the first phase, it adds the points from your strength, agility and so on, and shows the total underneath the last attribute. (You can't go over 50.) It calculates your combat value as well. It will also have a complete list of all equipment you can buy with the second set of 50 points, the cost of each, with running points total under that. You'll just erase the variables of any unwanted items. It still needs a bit of work, and I'm sure someone with more Excel experience could do a lot better than I, but if anyone wants the file I'll send it to Arborell's development team, and perhaps someone else could host it as well in the meantime. I haven't looked at the maps yet but perhaps there's a way to write one for the PM or a Braille embosser, much like the maps in NetHack for the PM--dashes for horizontal walls, dot 4-5-6 for vertical ones, and so on. As for the game itself, it's totally usable on the PM. In my usual addicts' style, I spent an entire game playing it--about three hours on the Excel programming. It's a great game--as I told my daughter, it's a choose-your-own adventure for grown-ups, and as I told my brother, it's a dd game when you're by yourself.

Re: [Audyssey] the gamebooks of Arborell
As you've probably gathered ken, the chronicles of Arborell is sort of one of my personal favourite things, ever! I won't go on about how good it is though. I'm not really sure how Xl works, but that file sounds incredibly handy, especially as there are other gamebooks etc using the same system. Wain dencely the gamemaster would deffinately be interested I think, but i actually suggest joining and posting up the file in the ARborell forum at http://www.arborellium.freeforums.org/ There's a specific forum on there for Vi accessibility. Sinse a completely randomized adventure is in the works for Arborell, your file will be useful I think. As far as maps go, the maps aren't nethack style at all. One point of a gamebook is the getting lost and the need to create your own maps if you want them. The maps are actually full maps of the surrounding area, with mountains, roades, woods etc marked. The Arborell Gamemaster has been kind enough to do a text described version, with objects mentioned and detailed directions on where various things go (just check in the windhammer section). Really glad you like these. Btw,Though imho Chronicles of Arborell is one of, --- if not possibly the finest thing of it's type on the net, several others do exist, which can be incredibly fun as well. I sent an E-mail around a while ago with some links, or you can search through the audiogames.net database under the gamebooks genre catagory.

You just have one person as the game master running the game and doing as the player wants on their turn. Now as I said to Ari about the multiple computer players in the game. The thing is, the artificial intelligence for multiple computer players is beyond my artificial intelligence programming ability. Truthfully it was a real strain on my brain just to have one computer player. Now to have more than one and have them do things like initiate and make trades, I just don't want to put my brain over the edge and it still not work out. I mean it took several versions just to get one computer player to play and not have lots and lots of complaints about it's abilities.

Re: [Audyssey] Game books
No, no special software required, just the ability to read text files or internet pages, and some rollable dice (the gma dice program helps.
