Re: [Audyssey] Dice Roller was guess the number game
Hi Thomas, Yes but having the text and roll show up on the screen or have a repete button that reads the screen to you. Instead of fixed dice sides like the GMA Dice Roller it would have an edit box for number of sides. Yes the GMA program can do that but with sound files and sometimes the f4 doesn't work. I thoght a SAPI version would work better if your SAPI was working. So the program would say type in the number of sides on the dice. an edit box then hit enter to roll and the result with the sides repeted such as , A 100 sided dice roll is, then the roll number 54 Hit A to announce the last roll, hit r to repete the same dice roll. thanks, Phil - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2009 10:32 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Dice Roller was guess the number game Hi Phil, I'm pretty sure I could whipsomething like that up if you could tell me exactly what you were looking for.

Re: [Audyssey] Asteroids was Missile Command
Hi Bryan, Yeah, the AGM definitely was a major disappointment for all involved. It would have been nice to be able to whip up a quick copy of Frogs and Flies, Adventure, whatever using a tool like that, but being a student project it had no commercial funding or dedicated people to maintain it. They didn't even release it as open source so the community could have updated it ourselves. So it was pretty much a big waste of time and energy downloading it. Too bad because it actually did have a good design concept, and initially sounded very promising. Bryan Peterson wrote: I'd love to see an audio version of Berzerk or Adventure or even Frogs and Flies, all games for the Atari 2600. In fact those were three projects I'd planned to attempt using the Audio Game Maker when it was released two years ago, but let's not even get started on what a fiasco that turned out to be. It had potential certainly, I'm not arguing that, but the bugs that were left unsquashed made it all but impossible to get the most out of the program. And it didn't help that the program was a student project for a gaming class and once the semester was over the project was pretty much scrapped once there was something for us to download. Needless to say though I did attempt to create both Frogs and Flies and Adventure, with a very few relatively modern touches thrown in (namely a few additional enemies and hazzards), I was able to get neither the dragons nor the frogs, flies and crocodiles to behave properly. Heck, I couldn't even make the player behave properly. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

If I recall the main story behind Missile Command, at least the original one, it was suppose to be about an interplanetary war between Earth and Mars. You, the game player, were suppose to be commanding a high tech missile defence station, and shoot down the incoming alien missiles. I only remember the story somewhat because back in the 1980's some of the more popular games of that era had a few comic books or cartoons based on them. For example, remember the Packman Saturday morning cartoons? Cheers! Jim Kitchen wrote: Hi Thomas, Yes, we are talking about the same 1982 Atari 2600 Missile Command game.

Re: [Audyssey] OT: Need help ergently!
Hi. First, check what background programs are running at startup. Virus checkers, programs that auto update, and windows system updates themsleves can all be resource hogs, especially at start if they all want to start at once. it was for this reason that I couldn't run Avg on my old desktop, because whenever it did a full system scan (which it insisted on doing at startup each day),k it slowed everything down ridiculously. The same thing used to happen when my university network decided to turn on windows update, and my computer tried to download a years worth of updates at startup without my knowing. i'd suggest disconnecting your net connection, then starting your system and looking at what's going on with it, making certain unnecessary programs aren't running automatically. hth.

Re: [Audyssey] Missile Command was Triple J Shooter
Hi Jim, HI see. If I recall the main story behind Missile Command, at least the original one, it was suppose to be about an interplanetary war between Earth and Mars. You, the game player, were suppose to be commanding a high tech missile defence station, and shoot down the incoming alien missiles. I only remember the story somewhat because back in the 1980's some of the more popular games of that era had a few comic books or cartoons based on them. For example, remember the Packman Saturday morning cartoons? Cheers! Jim Kitchen wrote: Hi Thomas, Yes, we are talking about the same 1982 Atari 2600 Missile Command game.

Re: [Audyssey] Asteroids was Missile Command
I'd love to see an audio version of Berzerk or Adventure or even Frogs and Flies, all games for the Atari 2600. In fact those were three projects I'd planned to attempt using the Audio Game Maker when it was released two years ago, but let's not even get started on what a fiasco that turned out to be. It had potential certainly, I'm not arguing that, but the bugs that were left unsquashed made it all but impossible to get the most out of the program. And it didn't help that the program was a student project for a gaming class and once the semester was over the project was pretty much scrapped once there was something for us to download. Needless to say though I did attempt to create both Frogs and Flies and Adventure, with a very few relatively modern touches thrown in (namely a few additional enemies and hazzards), I was able to get neither the dragons nor the frogs, flies and crocodiles to behave properly. Heck, I couldn't even make the player behave properly. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

I started work on one a couple of years back, but Raceway and mysteries of the Ancients got in the way. So I haven't yet had time to get back to work on my own version of Asteroids. Although, it is still something I'd be interested in completing. Especially, now that I am creating a 3d game engine I could actually make a much cooler version of Asteroids than I had originally planned on creating. Instead of a simple 2d arcade game as I had thought of doing I could go full 3d having asteroids above and below the player as well as all around the player's ship. The alien ships could also attack from any angle making it a much more interesting space game than the original Asteroids. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Asteroids was Missile Command
That would be awsome!!! Yeah, I just wish that also swoop could be found and made playable, think space invaders, but with guns you can pick up, and different shields and stuff.

Re: [Audyssey] Giftanum?
well jim kitchen has admitted some years back his code is not prity either. not sure if this is true still or not. I programmed in javascript and pascal. and in pascal I would go nice and fast forget to put capitals on var or something or forget somethingelse and my program was locking up, restart, restart, oh man where is that code, where is it. This is already an hour, oh man I need to smash something. eventually I found it but yeah. Actually I think javascript is teaching bad programming practice as you can store variables etc anywhere you want and it really couldn't give a stuff. so if you then go pascal or other languages and try to do that well.

Re: [Audyssey] Giftanum?
Hi Damien, Smile. Yes, we all need to start somewhere. As it happens a while back I found some cds with some very old source code on it, code from my college days, and I was horrified when reading the source for some of those programs. It was obvious I didn't have a clue what I was doing, or I had an idea of what I was doing, but not quite sure how to write programs professionally yet. So we all have had our amateur days. I also understand what you are going through with C++. Although, I took C++ in college and have programmed in it off and on for 10 years or so I don't have an extremely strong grasp of the language myself. When .NET came out around 2003 most of the contract jobs I was looking into wanted VB .NET or C# .NET, so I learned those languages, and that is mainly what has been in high demand ever since. The end result was even though I knew the basics of C++ I never got to grow into the language and get a lot of hands on experience with it, because I'm working with VB and C# .NET professionally. Now, that I've decided to begin using C++ for games I'm finding myself looking up tutorials and refreshing my skills to get back into the swing of things. It isn't that hard for me since I basically know what I'm doing,but I also know my skills and experience aren't as good as they should be. I'm making mistakes and doing things a more skilled C++ developer wouldn't. So it could be some time even for me to get back into using C++ with any degree of skill and experience. Damien C.

Re: [Audyssey] question on ordering
Hi Shirly. Which games are you talking about? Generally these days most games you pay for online with paypal or a creddit card, though some companies also accept postal checks too. then, you get either a registration code to turn the demo into a full version, or a link to download the full version from somewhere else. A few developers stil supply games on Cd, but as shipping is expensive, and these days many people have fast connections which allow for quick downloads, this has fallen off rather a lot. while the registration key method with payments via paypal or creddit card is most widely used, it really does depend upon the individual developer, and you can't generalize, so there's no real answer to "how to order games" I will say for obvious reasons most developers do try to make the ordering process as easy as humanly possible.

The bank did charge me for the stuff even though I had not processed anything. An email to gc got me that it hadn't.

Hi Thomas, Well, to be honest everyone starts somewhere. I dread to think if I went back 5 years what my code looked like. Even now I am not very experienced with games programming. Yes I can make the odd utility in VB, but even then I've been having reports left right and centre regarding bugs that I can't seem to replicate.

I just wanted to check, and I personally don't have a problem with you taking over Giftenum. You have the other XL Studios games anyway so it makes sense that the rights stay with you. In terms of Jason's code I have to agree with you. I've been programming for about 10 years, and his code was very messy. He was definitely not a very experienced programmer and his code litterally screamed amateure programmer. For that reason alone I wasn't exactly happy about upgrading the game without a full and clean rewrite of it anyway. Cheers! Damien C. Sadler wrote: Hi Thomas, Wow, certainly some news to me. About two years ago, Shane Davidson put Giftanum on his own website for download, along with the source code. I downloaded the game and read in the updated documentation that there were still some sound updates to make. I made those sound adjustments for him, repatched the installer, and sent it to Shane. Shane then contacted me, claiming that I had broken the source code. As it happened, I hadn't even touched the source code, and upon checking I found that the code would not run or compile either, claiming files, functions and variables to be missing. Shane then took the game down and informed me that he was no longer interested in developing it. Therefore I went to Jason, asked if I could take over, and he gave me the code for all three games - Self Destruct, Giftanum and Danger City. Since then I have been hosting the originals on my website until I could get the games updated, which I will admit took a lot of time to get to grips with Jason's coding methods. Then of course I start actually updating the thing I am switching languages, so I would have to do a whole rewrite anyway. So much for a wasted half year! *Grin*.

Re: [Audyssey] Need A Walkthrough for Future Boy
Hi Tom, I don't know what site you're talking about, but yes, the game isn't available to download or purchase directly from the Future Boy website. I ended up writing to the General Coffee Film Productions Company, who produce the game along with the Hugo text adventure engine (their website is www.generalcoffee.com/) to inquire about the game. They gave me an email address to purchase the game using PayPal, then emailed me some download instructions. If you want the demo version of the game, you can get it at the Interactive Fiction Archive, www.ifarchive.org/, in the games/hugo folder. Hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] Missile Command was Triple J Shooter
Hi Jim, Well, I was thinking more of Troopenum here when you mentioned Missile Command, because the games do have a couple of things in common. Even though Troopenum is technically suppose to be a Space Invaders clone the Gorbian levels are more like Missile Command than Space Invaders. On the Gorbian levels you have Gorbian ships falling down out of the sky. In addition to lining them up by using the left/right arrow keys you also have to move the barrel of your laser cannon up/down to center the target.This is why I thought of Troopenum when you mentioned Missile Command. As far as Missile Command using Patriot missiles are you sure we are talking about the same version? The version I am thinking of was released around 1982 or so for the Atari 2600. Although, I know there were PC versions released later the only one I remember playing was the old Atari game from the 1980's. That one definitely used a laser cannon. Either that or the poor graphics were so bad that it looked like a laser weapon. Cheers! Jim Kitchen wrote: Hi Thomas, In Missile Command it was more than left and right. It was also up and down. More like moving your mouse pointer around the screen and getting it in front of the in coming missile, then firing your anti missile missile. It was the patriot missile system before they used it in desert storm. Just left and right would be more like Space Invaders. It as I said was a mouse pointer before windows had a mouse. So, may I ask, is Troopenum and Aliens in the Outback more like Missile Command or Space Invaders?

Re: [Audyssey] Giftanum?
Hi Damien, Cool. I just wanted to check, and I personally don't have a problem with you taking over Giftenum. You have the other XL Studios games anyway so it makes sense that the rights stay with you. In terms of Jason's code I have to agree with you. I've been programming for about 10 years, and his code was very messy. He was definitely not a very experienced programmer and his code litterally screamed amateure programmer. For that reason alone I wasn't exactly happy about upgrading the game without a full and clean rewrite of it anyway. Cheers! Damien C. Sadler wrote: Hi Thomas, Wow, certainly some news to me. About two years ago, Shane Davidson put Giftanum on his own website for download, along with the source code. I downloaded the game and read in the updated documentation that there were still some sound updates to make. I made those sound adjustments for him, repatched the installer, and sent it to Shane. Shane then contacted me, claiming that I had broken the source code. As it happened, I hadn't even touched the source code, and upon checking I found that the code would not run or compile either, claiming files, functions and variables to be missing. Shane then took the game down and informed me that he was no longer interested in developing it. Therefore I went to Jason, asked if I could take over, and he gave me the code for all three games - Self Destruct, Giftanum and Danger City. Since then I have been hosting the originals on my website until I could get the games updated, which I will admit took a lot of time to get to grips with Jason's coding methods. Then of course I start actually updating the thing I am switching languages, so I would have to do a whole rewrite anyway. So much for a wasted half year! *Grin*.

Re: [Audyssey] Need A Walkthrough for Future Boy
Hi Jay, Yeah, wasn't that cool back in the dos days when if the programmer did it right all text on the screen would be read by the screen reader. I miss being able to program like that. But, so, that is why I now use the sapi5 text to speech engine. Just went from putting text on the screen to sending it to the sapi5 speech engine. Of course one wants to make sure to program in the review mode stuff. BFN Jim C:\Dos . . . C\Dos\Run . . .

Hi Damien, Not that this is a big deal to me, but there appears to be a small conflict of interest regarding Giftenum. It was my understanding that Shane Davidson obtained the source for Giftenum from XL Studios, and he asked me a few months back if I'd take over the project and help him upgrade the game. I mentioned I would, but do to the length of time it is taking on Raceway and MOTA I've not found much time to do much with the game as yet. Now, you are saying you are taking over development. Did Shane or Jason ask you to take over the game, or was this something you decided to do yourself. Like I said it is no big deal to me, but I don't want us to end up writing two different versions of the game, each claiming rights to it, and then figuring out someone goofed up with the right hand not knowing what the left hand was doing type of thing.
