[Audyssey] Good news: how to make the WII a whole lot more accessible
If any of you have played the Wii, you know that it's just about impossible to start, since on the startup screen there are seven buttons to push--four on top and three on the bottom, which makes for a confusing and frustrating day at the Wii console. Even though you know the one you want is in the top left corner, you just can't seem to find it and instead find yourself adjusting your daughter's mii... (which is the way she programmed her character to look in the games.) Incidentally, I gave hers quite the hairdo. With the screen in such a state, you might spend an hour starting the game you want and have time for a match of tennis before dinner time--if you're lucky. Well, fear not Wii fans, because I have found a solution. You'll need sighted assistance for this but... In addition to the page containing the start game icon, there are three or more pages with additional channels. There are two ways to get to those pages--the plus and minus keys on the Wiimote, or the arrows on the screen. What we are going to do is to drag each channel, (accept for the one we want--the start game icon,) to another page. Have your friend hold a and b together while pointing at a channel, then move to the right arro and let go--and they have successfully moved the channel. You'll know it because you'll hear a chirp from the Wii and your friend saying, cool. Have them do this for the next five channels, and you're done. You now have a startup screen with only one button--well, plus the arrows, but they won't do anything accept change pages and you just hit the minus button to get back to the first page--no harm done. So now all you do is move the Wiimote around till it vibrates and you're there. Make sure that your assistant moves the channel you want--the start channel which, if they can't figure it out, will say Wii sports, on it if that CD is in, to a place far away from the arrows--the upper left corner perhaps. I can now start the game almost every time I try it, although somehow another channel appeared on the first page--but that's what happens when you let your children play with adults' toys! LOL Well, if any of you have or are considering to purchase a Wii, I hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Yeah, this trailer sounds tons better to me than the first one. The music and new voiceovers make such a great difference in terms of the game's overal feeling or atmosphere... Only the new Angela sounds perhaps a bit too aggressive to me. Do you think that mixing the two voices together, choosing the best fitting sounds for each event from the two sets of screams and grunts, would make a noticeable difference in the end? Like two different persons? :-) Cause I would definitely replace at least the jump scream with something less urgent. :-D Other than that, keep up the unbelievable great work, Tom, I just still can't believe that a game of such professionality is gonna be completed one day.

I've never seen a good pokemon RPG. The closest thing to an online pokemon battle game I had fun with was Netbattle, where you could connect to a server or host your own, make a team of pokemon and battle it out with one of your friends. It was a bit tough to adapt to but it was accessible and fun.

Hi So, here I am, I started playing this game at: http://tppcrpg.net/ Its quite rediculous, really. For anyone that knows anything about pokemon, level 4 pokemon, no matter what kind, cannot learn hyper beam. I mean yeah if your crazy enough to use a tm on one. So, my charmander kept getting demolished by these pokemon using crazy attacks. Not to mention, how exactly are you supposed to battle and make money, and catch pokemon and what not? How do you get to each town? Those are just a few of my questions. Someone said this game was great - it is to a point until the novelty wears off and it gets so confusing that I had to wait a few hours before I tried again. So you register, pick your starter pokemon. There is no help at all to be found here. I can battle a trainer, yay. Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, it says a wild pokemon appears! So, I start fighting. This pokemon is level 4, the same as mine. It uses icebeam. Seriously...it can use ice beam, flame thrower, surf, and tackle. Hows that for randomness? Then, I look at my pokemons attacks. Know what it had? Flamethrower, watergun, tackle, and scratch! That's when I gave up on it. Maybe someone else here understands it more than i do. anyone have any ideas? thanks --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi ken, I think you made it sound so much more unfriendly to start game than it really is. You don't have to be so exact to click on the top left button.

Not sure if the wii or xbox360 have this, but I know for sure the ps3 does. For most games there's a little thing called the XMB media bar and when you highlight the game disc, it plays a 10-15 second video of the game, complete with music, so we know exactly what game it is. As an example, if I was to highlight the game disc for heavenly sword in the ps3, it would play a heavy, movie-style orchestral track as opposed to the video acompanied by applause and cheering from a crowd with the rock band and rock band 2 discs. - Original Message - From: Steady Goh stea...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 9:30 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Good news: how to make the WII a whole lotmoreaccessible Hi ken, I think you made it sound so much more unfriendly to start game than it really is.

Re: [Audyssey] dark room and programming for Wiimotes
Hi Ken, Learning to program in Java is not too bad. If you have any background in C++, C#, etc then Java will be a peace of cake. If not it might take you a little longer to get the necessary skills, but Java is fairly easy to learn as far as languages goes. If you want an IDE Eclipse is fairly accessible both on Windows and Linux. I've used it several times. Though I personally prefer to code in notepad and compile via the javac command line compiler myself. However, Eclipse is fine if you want to use that. If you want to really discuss this in depth sign up for my developers mailing list on the USA Games mail server http://www.usagamesinteractive.com/lists.php and I'll be able to fill you in on your options. Smile. Ken wrote: I see that Darkroom is programmed in Java and that the code is open source. How hard is programming in Java, and does anyone know about Eclipse, and whether or not the libraries and plug-ins are accessible? If so, it would give me a good foundation for programming a Wii-based game as VB6 isn't going to support bluetooth stacks--to my knowlege anyway. I looked at VB.net express and it was a maze of confusion from the get-go, so I'm looking again at new programming languages to learn, and I thought that this might be a good start as there is code relating to the use of the Wiimotes.

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Hi Lucas, Snip Only the new Angela sounds perhaps a bit too aggressive to me. Do you think that mixing the two voices together, choosing the best fitting sounds for each event from the two sets of screams and grunts, would make a noticeable difference in the end? Like two different persons? End snip I really can't do that. Reason is in the early Alphas I was using the sounds of Lara Croft, from the Tomb Raider games, as place holder sounds until I got someone else to do the character effects for Angela. As a result using the Lara Croft effects would technically be breaking international copyright laws, and having had this sort of trouble before with Montezuma's Revenge i won't do that.

Hi Will and all, Actually, when I get finished with one of the newer patches for 0.5 Angela will do something different when she encounters a wall.

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Hi, Smile. Thanks for the vote of confidence. WE have been working long and hard to deliver this game, and it has taken many hours of work to get where we are.

Hi Charles, The problem with such people is they never stop and think of the cost both in time and money to create asingle game like Mysteries of the Ancients. The music you here in the trailer sure as heck wasn't free. It will take at least four sales of MOTA to get the investment back on the music production work alone.

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Hi, That is a very good point. In general most accessible games cost less than your average Play Station, Xbox, or PC game title. Many games for my PS2 were round about $45 or $50 when they first came out. After they got some shelf life theydropped down to $25 to $30. so I feel that $35 is pretty fare. It is between that $25 discount price and $50 for the new game releases. Especially, since i don't actually make much off the games in return anyway.

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Hi Ron, Um... You mean Tomb Raider don't you? Tomb Hunter is the USA Games series loosely based on Tomb Raider. not the other way round. Grin. Anyway, the PC Tomb Raider games all place around $30 in price here in the U.S. The PC releases are a bit cheaper than the PS2 and PS3 releases. I haven't done any recent pricing for Tomb Raider Underworld for PS3 but last I checked the lowest price going was $45 for it. So Tomb Hunter has that beat in price by $10, and it is fully accesible.

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Yeah, definitely! Now you are right! REminds me of Angel of Darkness, where Lara Croft also used to talk to herself at several occasions. :-D Like when you attempted a task that you were too weak for, so she just said: I'm not strong enough. Or there were several little cluess to help you solve a particularly tough puzzle that sounded misterious at first but later made perfect sense. For example, I remember that there was a place where you unarmed a timed bomb or something like that and then had to get underwater somehow, so she just told you: Dive, girl, dive, or something like that. Wonderful ideas you have, Thomas. Besides, it will be cool to have Angela say something, actual fluent sentences rather than just screams of pain or shock, at certain places in the game.

[Audyssey] What language for gaming? Was:Re: dark room and programming for Wiimotes
Hi Ken, Not sure what you mean by vb .net express looked a mass of confusion . Are you referring to the IDE?

Re: [Audyssey] Backpacks in fallthrough
Hi Lidsy. The item handling syntax is a litle weerd in fallthrough and takes some getting used to. To put an item from your hand to the pack you need to type, move from hand to p01 5 food for example, - or in short, mv fr hand to p01 5 food. P01 is the container's code, if you own another pack it would be p02. In typing use here or hr to refer to the location, so to put an item lying on the ground streight into your pack type: mv fr hr to p01 axe. Hth. Beware the Grue!

Even though you know the one you want is in the top left corner, you just can't seem to find it and instead find yourself adjusting your daughter's mii... (which is the way she programmed her character to look in the games.) Incidentally, I gave hers quite the hairdo. With the screen in such a state, you might spend an hour starting the game you want and have time for a match of tennis before dinner time--if you're lucky. Well, fear not Wii fans, because I have found a solution. You'll need sighted assistance for this but... In addition to the page containing the start game icon, there are three or more pages with additional channels. There are two ways to get to those pages--the plus and minus keys on the Wiimote, or the arrows on the screen. What we are going to do is to drag each channel, (accept for the one we want--the start game icon,) to another page. Have your friend hold a and b together while pointing at a channel, then move to the right arro and let go--and they have successfully moved the channel. You'll know it because you'll hear a chirp from the Wii and your friend saying, cool. Have them do this for the next five channels, and you're done. You now have a startup screen with only one button--well, plus the arrows, but they won't do anything accept change pages and you just hit the minus button to get back to the first page--no harm done. So now all you do is move the Wiimote around till it vibrates and you're there. Make sure that your assistant moves the channel you want--the start channel which, if they can't figure it out, will say Wii sports, on it if that CD is in, to a place far away from the arrows--the upper left corner perhaps. I can now start the game almost every time I try it, although somehow another channel appeared on the first page--but that's what happens when you let your children play with adults' toys!

Re: [Audyssey] New MOTA Trailer Released
Hi Lukas, As of todays builds Angela does speak some stuff now using a real human voice. For example if she steps into a room with an enemy in it she will say something like what now, we've got company, hostiles, etc. Though my absolute favorite fraze is, get out of my way! Quite apparently not going to take any crap off of centaurs, skeleton warriors, or flying harpies. Another new addition that didn't make it into the trailer that has been added to the game just over the passed 24 hours are warning messages. If she is walking, not running, when approaching a fire, lava pit, chasm, etc she will let you know when she is in danger. Angela will say something like watch out, look out, watch it, etc. It is a great cue that you are in mortal danger.Especially for silent traps like spikes and poison darts that don't make any sound until you trip them. Although Angela can see them so she points them out to you along the way. Lukás Hosnedl wrote: Yeah, definitely! Now you are right! REminds me of Angel of Darkness, where Lara Croft also used to talk to herself at several occasions. :-D Like when you attempted a task that you were too weak for, so she just said: I'm not strong enough.

Re: [Audyssey] What language for gaming? Was:Re: dark room and programming for Wiimotes
Hi everyone, Quote I've done about all you can imagine an audio game could use, from joystick inputs, to full featured online play with virtually no lag. All this was done with visual basic .net. End quote I'd like to add to this in my experience that the language itself is usually as less important as knowing how to program in it correctly, being able to get the most out of it, and as long as it fulfills all of your requirements and expectations. As it happens Visual Basic .NET has come a long long ways from Visual Basic 6. There are many new features and abilities in Visual Basic .NET that make it sutable for just about any project if you really want to go that way. It is even possible to make cross platform applications with Visual Basic .NET which was not previously possible under Visual Basic 6 and earlier. Quote I thought about C#, but I can do the exact same things without having to warp my brain around there weird syntax and use of odd symbols. End quote Smile Seeing as the C-Style syntax is universally used by several programming languages to our way of thinking Visual Basic syntax looks weird and bloated. Though, as you pointed out this is a personal preference here because C# and Visual Basic applications are exactly the same after they are compiled into a .NET binary. The only difference between C# .NET and Visual Basic .NET is how the code looks. In C-Style languages you might create an integer variable like int myVariable = 0; or create a Visual Basic variable myVariable As Integer = 0 like this. Either way you like doing it you are going to do the same thing. It just looks different. Quote I encourage you to take another look at vb .net, lord knows we need all the good accessible developers out there we can get, and in my humble opinion I think java is going to leave you lacking in the end. End quote Yes, I definitely agree. Java is a great language, but I found it wasn't so hot for audio games. For small games it did ok. When I ported Mysteries of the Ancients to Java last year the game ran terrible. I ended up having to abandon it and go back to the original C# source code. So i'd be careful with Java.

Was:Re: dark room andprogramming for Wiimotes Hi Ken, Not sure what you mean by vb .net express looked a mass of confusion . Are you referring to the IDE? If so, it takes a bit of time to get used to, but once you do, you will really appreciate the power and abilities it offers you. As for programming any halfway serious audio game, I've looked at a bit of java code, and I'd say visual basic is more or less on level ground with it in terms of difficulty to program, which in my opinion isn't that hard. When I started out in 2005 looking to get into it, I looked long and hard at several options. I thought about C#, but I can do the exact same things without having to warp my brain around there weird syntax and use of odd symbols. Before you C coders out there get bent out of shape, I want you to know I don't care what language you use, same as I don't care what kind of computer you use, for me whatever gets the job done with minimal fuss is what I am going to use, and for me that was vb .net express. I'm not putting down C# or any other language, and if I were doing graphics intensive stuff, I probably would have gone with C# or something similar. I've done about all you can imagine an audio game could use, from joystick inputs, to full featured online play with virtually no lag. All this was done with visual basic .net. The single exception to this is force feedback, which I was not able to put into rail racer, which chapped my stick, and perhaps is fixed by now. I am about to release my second and third commercial games in the last two years, all three of which were built on visual basic, and with virtually no programming experience 4 years ago to speak of. I can't give a higher reccomendation than that for anyone looking to program audio games for the blind. It has taken a lot of time and tenacity, but as the old saying goes, nothing worth doing comes easy. I encourage you to take another look at vb .net, lord knows we need all the good accessible developers out there we can get, and in my humble opinion I think java is going to leave you lacking in the end.

Re: [Audyssey] What language for gaming? Was:Re: dark room and programming for Wiimotes
Hi, Eclipse is very accessible. I use it with Window Eyes 7 any time i have important Java projects to do, and it also works fine with Orca on the Linux side. So it is a decent accessible cross platform Java IDE. To Ken or anyone else considering Java Eclipse also comes with a graphical toolkit called Swift. I highly recommend using Swift instead of swing if you plan to have Window Eyes, Jaws, Hal, and everything else support the application out of the box. The primary advantage of swift besides it is highly accesible it doesn't require a java access bridge to be installed to get access from the application. As for why I personally decided not to use Java I noticed that my Genesis Engine didn't perform as well written in Java as it did in C# .NET. Otherwise I like the language, it worked well for my test applications, but not apparently for what I wanted to do with it. A game that worked perfectly well under Windows crashed when ran on the Java VM for Linux so I felt I had to look at my other options. John Bannick wrote: Ken, With all due respect to my colleagues, Java rocks! It's an easy language to learn and to code in. I believe that Eclipse is blind-accessible. Certainly IBM (which begat Eclipse and still has a major hand in it) is blind-accessibility supportive. I've had no problems with sound using Java. We play WAV files and MIDI files, as well as using the FreeTTS speech synthisizer. We've had no problems with sound on either Windows systems or the Mac. Don't know about Linux, but don't see why the Java sound APIs would be a problem there. I have the highest respect for the technical assessments of Thomas, Che, Ryan, et al. But Java works fine for me. That being said, you might get more technical support from them and other Audyssey folks if you use their languages.

Yes, right, but if that is not the disc you want, you can eject the disc and put in another want and wii will read and play the music. So it still works. Don't have to click the back icon and re-enter. The plus key is often used to enter the options menu when you are in the game. As for games not using the DPad to nevigate through the menus, you can try using the nunchuck. Some works and some don't.
