[Audyssey] NEw game from choiceofgames
Hi. here's a new one from choiceofgames, a new gamebook adventure. These are quite accessible on the iPhone, and given the easy interface, I'd be surprised if they didn't work the same way on android too. Sadly, windows users are out of luck thanks to the chrome web store, (I tried to ask the devs about this since the demos and free versions of their games on the choiceofgames site are standard net pages, but I didn't get a response. still, for anyone with an Iphone I'd highly recommend this, indeed I'm playing choice of the star captain myself at the moment.

Re: [Audyssey] unable to run Rail Racer Demo on windows8
Hi Shaun, As I said there was a number of major changes made between 1.1 and 2.0. Those changes introduced compatibility issues between 1.x and 2.0 .NET applications. As it happens newer .NET Frameworks like 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 5.0 come with backward compatible libraries for .NET 2.0 and later but have no backward compatible libraries for 1.0 and 1.1. The .NET 1.x libraries are deprecated and so were removed from the .NET Framework and .NET developers are expected to update their code to reflect this change accordingly. However, in principle the .NET Framework is suppose to provide developers with a write once run anywhere solution by targeting the .NET Framework rather than any specific Windows platform. If You write a .NET 4.0 application on a Windows 7 system it should run fine on older systems running Windows XP and Vista that have .NET 4.0 installed, various mobile phones, and of course is forward compatible with Windows 8. While in principle that is suppose to be how it works I've encountered cases where it does not really work out that way. For example, 32-bit and 64-bit compatibility issues. By default .NET apps are compiled using the Any CPU flag. This usually works most of the time, but if you include 32-bit libraries in a .NET app and try to run it on a 64-bit OS it will crash. Same if you include a 64-bit library in a .NET app and try to run it on a 32-bit system. It will blow up big time. The solution for those sorts of problems is to specifically target the .NET platform such as x86 or x64 so that your .NET app will initialize the proper runtime environment and compatibility libraries rather than choose the default for the system. All I am saying is while Microsoft has tried to make .NET into a write once run everywhere solution sometimes things go wrong and it doesn't quite work out that way. Not all .NET apps are compatible with every version of the .NET Framework, and it is up to the developer to resolve those compatibility issues.. Most of the time compatibility issues are due to error on the .NET developers part such as using the Any CPU flag when x86 was required for compatibility reasons, or the app was built using some now deprecated library or API that was removed from the framework.

I thought that was the idea. you can't update 1.1 on anything over vista or 2.0 3.0. if you have outdated frameworks then they are not secure. Technically you could hack them to be as secure as they should be but hmmm. and if you have iis then 1.1 may or may not work anyway. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Other Game Suggestions was Unable to Run Rail Racer Demo
Hi Lenron, Not sure if you are interested in commercial or freeware games, but some of my favorites are Lone Wolf, GMA Tank Commander, and Shades of Doom by http://www.gmagames.com which are some of the best audio games ever built in my opinion.. In Lone Wolf you get to command a World War II submarine against the axis forces. The game comes with 17 missions, but there are well over 99 additional user created missions available for download. In Tank Commander you get to command a modern day tank as you liberate an island from an enemy force of tanks, helicopters, infantry carrying antitank weapons, etc. If you are into simulation games Tank Commander is one of the best. Shades of Doom is a decent clone of the classic game Doom. In Shades of Doom you are an agent sent to check up on a top secret experiment gone wrong. When you arrive you get trapped in the lab and must fight your way out by fighting or fleeing mutant humans, cyborgs, mutant dogs, giant rats, blobs, and various other experimental monsters. Your objective is to find the experiment control box and shut it down, and then make it to the roof and call for help. Some other commercial games you might want too look at are the arcade games produced by Draconis Entertainment. In particular Alien Outback, Dynaman, and ESP Pinball Extreme. Dynaman is a modern retake on the classic game Pac-man. In Dynaman you try to eat All the dots in the maze while being chaced by the evil Spark brothers, and occasionally run into hazards such as short circuits etc. Its a pretty cool game based on an old theme. Alien Outback is probably one of my favorite clones of the classic game Space Invaders. In Alien Outback its about this Australian dude in the Australian Outback who sees an alien invasion of earth, in progress and well decides to single handedly take them on. Unlike Space Invaders there is a lot more too it such as alien landers, multiple weapons, and several different types of ships. Its a great game for something in the classic arcade genre. Pinball Extreme is definitely the closest you come to an accessible pinball arcade for the blind. I believe it comes with 5 tables, but there is a party pack of extra tables you can buy for it which gives you more tables and games to play with. Cheers!

Hi Dennis, I don't think its necessary, but if you want to do that go ahead. For the moment I don't know where Ron is with issue 55, and since his personal life has been up in the air I don't know how often the magazine will get updated at this point. I have considered temporarily taking over the job as editor until he is able to return to that duty, but I'd have to discuss that with him off list. Obviously, I don't want to just do it without asking him first. Howeveer, the point I want to make is that I don't expect that page to change too much right away unless Ron or I begin cranking out new issues of the magazine. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] unable to run Rail Racer Demo on windows8
Hi Shaun, I know the feeling. I wasn't a big Rail Racer fan, but I did beta test it and had a license for the game that won't work on any of my newer machines. Not only that I felt Che was being too strict with his licensing policy so that if I wanted a copy for my desktop and a copy for my laptop I'd have to obtain a second license. That kind of turned me off the game right there. I don't know. I think if I were to pay for an upgrade I'd also expect that some of the licensing restrictions be lifted. I'd want to be able to have a copy for at least one of my laptops as well as a key for my desktop. If I can't do that then I'll probably say forget it. I don't go for a lot of commercial software that won't allow me to put it on more than one PC at a time. That is in fact why I have turned to Linux for a lot of my software these days. I can't see paying double or triple for the same software just to run it on more than one computer. Cheers! On 4/12/13, shaun everiss sm.ever...@gmail.com wrote: don't hold your breath. I own a coppy but am unsure if I should write che off as bad or not. it was 1 key for each system which made a licence file. that server was not always up and people coppied them, che then made basically everyone have to buy the game again to get another key. I never got the game by paying as I tested it so I am not going to go and get a crack for it. But to say I am dissapointed that I have a game that I can't play really is an understatement. The only reason I don't even bother is that there are loads of games better than rr in its current thing is. Now if che does in fact end up releasing his game again, with a new system, one that will allow you to move your licence round or at least replace them without having to rebuy maybe something bsc uses with 4 keys per year or something then fine I will go back.

Re: [Audyssey] Corporate VS IndependentDeveloperswasModeratorMessage
Hi Dark, Hmm...I hadn't quite thought of it that way, but I do see your point. From a purely exploration point of view 3d type games can be more frustrating and more complex because you now have six primary directions instead of four to deal with, and that in turn requires more complex controls and navigation aids. Moreover things that would be relatively easy in a 2d side-scroller now become more complicated just because of the added dimensions of the game world. For example, in a3d FPS game in order to pass through a door you have to center your character in the doorway and of course be facing the right direction. In an audio only game that is sometimes hard to do unless there is some sound queue such as wind or a beep that helps orient you to that doorway. Even then in games like Sarah I plow face first into a wall when I actually intended to walk through the door, and have to sidestep left or right to center myself so I can go through it. In a 2d side-scroller I wouldn't' have that problem because to walk through a doorway all I need to do is be walking in that direction. So 3d does have additional complications that could get in the way of game play. One thing I know for sure a lot of blind gamers have an underdeveloped sense of spatial orientation. Its not true for everyone, but it is common enough that I've heard complaints about games like Shades of Doom and Teraformers that they are too hard, too complicated, and that such and such person couldn't figure them out. This is a serious concern since both Shades of Doom and Teraformers are actually 2d FPS games and are only concerned with the north, south, east, and west cardinal directions. They lack an additional third axis of movement of climbing up and down on ladders, ropes, vines, and so forth. If they have difficulties with Shades of Doom, which I found to be very easy to navigate using the aids, I don't think they could ever hope to manage something more complex with rooms stacked above and below them as well as the regular north, south, east, and west directions. So from a purely exploration point of view 2d side-scrollers probably are better for the majority of blind gamers since it removes a lot of the visual complexity from the game as well as doesn't require a good sense of spatial orientation. Plus 2d side-scrollers are easier to adapt to audio since the audio requirements are much much simpler. All I have to do is use the 2d stereo pan control of the API to pan sounds left or right where as with a 3d FPS I need a more complicated virtual 3d audio API and a 5.1 surround sound setup to really do it justice. In the end as much as I hate to admit it you are right in saying that 2d games lend themselves to an instant engagement for the player and doesn't require much forethought about the controls, navigation aids, and interpreting the environment. All you have to worry about is using up arrow to climb up, down arrow to climb down, press left to go left, and press right to go right. Since it isn't as complicated the gamer can focus on the game and exploration more than in a 3d game. Cheers!

On the T2002 turrican windows remake forums, one chap mentioned that T2002 was the game he loaded most in windows, and I have to agree. If I have a spare half an hour and want to play a game but don't want the complexity of an rpg, complex stratogy game or similar, I fire up T2002 and go through one of the larger levels, trying to discover more. Indeed, I first ran across the turrican remake in 2006, round about the same time I found shades of doom, and while I spent lots of time playing shades I'd imagine I probably spent more on Turrican, not to mention that was the point I acquired the Megaman aniversery collection so got to try all the nes megaman games I'd missed in the 80s. I think that is actually part of the question. A game like shades or even papasangre (something I've been playing recently), which is an fps movement system, requires considderably more concentration, mental mapping etc to play, an d a 3D game would likely require more still. Does this mean such games shouldn't be made? heck no, I've had a lot of fun from such games over the years, however, thinking about pure exploration which is one of the major things I enjoy in a game like Turrican, it considderably helps if your first concern is not whether your facing the right way or can remember all the keys, or use the object navigator to wander around, but simply what is around the next corner, in the next chamber etc. That is it for me with Turrican, my central thought is the exploration, not navigating the game. I think this would be one advantage of 2D games, if properly designed even in
Re: [Audyssey] I'm sad: Chillingham.
Hi Shaun, Well, while it is true Microsoft will discontinue updates and support for XP next year I somehow think it won't go away immediately. Remember a lot of blind users refuse to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, and plan to stick with XP as long as possible. As a result even though XP won't be an issue for Microsoft personally a lot of developers like myself still may have to support the platform in order to keep from losing sales by cutting those users off. There is always a few years grace period between when a OS gets dropped and when the majority of users actually get around to buying new computers with an updated OS on it. Take Win 98 for example. When I was developing STFC I got requests clear up to 2006 to support Windows 98 even though the OS was 8 years old, and was basically about to be dropped by Microsoft. I had to point out to those users that because I was developing using .NET that newer versions of .NET such as 3.0 and 3.5 would not run on Windows 98 and in order to support the platform I had to in effect go back to using older releases of the .NET Framework which would not be in my best interests just to support an out dated platform. The point being is either because of lack of money or simple desire not to change the V.I. community seems to be behind the mainstream market, and don't upgrade as quickly even if it would be in their best interests to do so. As a result even though XP might be dropped next year I don't count on the fact the majority of V.I. users will run out and buy new desktops and laptops with Win 8 on them. Eventually maybe, but it will take a year or two before that happens. :D Cheers!

I have them from somewhere but on the update which I plan to do this or next year its likely that these will be among the software I delete. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Corporate VS IndependentDeveloperswasModeratorMessage
Hi Tom. well as I have said before, my spacial memorization is pretty cruddy, though i find a game like shades of doom playable with my usual landmarks method, still this is a point to considder. that being said, as you've pointed out yourself, there is currently no 3D game in audio, so it'd certainly be worth trying and it might be that a 3D system with sufficiently advanced navaids is more workable than it sounds, and even if it requires effort, as with the 2D fps games it might be that that effort is worth making. i'll also point out however, that a true! 2D game in audio is not beyond complexity either, indeed I think if a game with a propper 2D layout which took complete advantage of analogue jumps, a full second dimention and ledges positioned at many different distances above and below the player, the complexity factor would rise again. for example, in a true 2D game it would be necessary to include an indicator for the hight of possible reachable ledges which was variable according to jump distance. Even in something like prince of persia which only really had two possible layouts for jump distance, you'd still have to cope with ledges one or two levels above or below your character, and of course in a game like megaman or original monti there would be considderably more since your jump hight could cover a very large vertical distance which would require similar audio indicators.

Hey Dark, are there any other games like Sryth out there? I assume you know waht Sryth is...basically it's a browser based fantasy type game. Not quite an rpg, but sort of.

The last I heard, he wants to go to a podcast format, which may or may not work as well as the previous method. JMO, but I think that a magazine should be read, not heard.

Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey format discussion -Re: Audyssey Magazine Now Online
Hi Charles, It was my understanding that the podcast, assuming we did one, would be in addition to and not a replacement for the Audyssey Magazine. Like you I feel a magazine should be read and not listened to. Besides that it would get pretty darn expensive paying for extra hard drive space and bandwidth for a podcast compared to the price of a few MB to store the magazine. Big difference in cost there, and one I don't think certain members of our community fully appreciates. In any case I don't expect the magazine will be switching to a podcast for those and other practical reasons. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey format discussion -Re: Audyssey Magazine Now Online
One other problem with podcasts is that they're not considered 'real' by sites like wikipedia, wheras if it's written down and has an editor that checks articles, it can be used as a reference. I don't know that it's that important, but giving the magazine legitimacy like that may help get it out to more people.

Re: [Audyssey] Corporate VS IndependentDeveloperswasModeratorMessage
Hi Dark, Well, its definitely not beyond reason to create a true 2d side-scroller in audio. Its more than possible provided that the developer uses the correct API and tools which is kind of the catch 22 from a developmental aspect. What I mean by that is in Microsoft DirectSound you can modify the stereo pan and volume on sounds which generally lends itself to being very accessible to a blind gamer and it works with no special hardware to get the most out of it. Unfortunately, DirectSound is now deprecated , and only provided on Win 7 and Win 8 for backwards compatibility with Windows XP, and even there DirectSound doesn't work correctly on modern versions of Windows. So we have to hunt for a different sound library for games. First, we have Microsoft XAudio2. Aside for a few bugs it is a very nice library, but it has no simple 2d stereo pan controls. Believing that everyone wants 5.1 surround sound if you want to pan a sound in XAudio2 said developer basically has to write a custom wrapper over top of the 5.1 surround sound audio and fake a 2d stereo pan which isn't quite as good as the one in DirectSound.So clearly XAudio2 isn't for everyone thinking of 2d games unless they want to have 3d audio in a otherwise 2d game. Second, the OpenAL audio library has just about everything an audio game developer could want such as custom DSP effects, virtual 3d audio, pitch adjustments, etc but it does not have a simple 2d stereo pan control. Again if a developer wants one it has to essentially be bolted on top of the existing 5.1 surround sound controls which is overkill, and I've tried doing this and because it uses logarithmic roll-off instead of linier roll-off the panning sounds weird to people use to DirectSound. So while a good option not the best choice for 2d games. Finally, the last completely free option is SDL Mixer. Compared to the other two options it is not as good, generally speaking, but it does have 2d stereo panning. In fact it has the easiest pan control of any API I know of. However, the panning isn't as accurate sounding as DirectSound, is either left or right, meaning you can't really make it sound closer or further away so it works but doesn't work here. In short, we just looked at three alternatives for DirectSound, and can't really get what we need. they either go all the way for virtual 3d and 5.1 surround sound, or have a generic pan control so generic that it really isn't well suited to audio games. At least, not as accurate as we are use too. I'm not really sure what the answer is, but it is something of a problem for me as I have a 2d game in development, and I need to find an alternative to DirectSound in order to handle the audio. Using DirectSound is merely a temporary measure, and won't really work beyond Windows 8 anyway. So looking ahead I want to find something that will make it easier for me to develop 2d games and yet still be up to date. Cheers!

Even in something like prince of persia which only really had two possible layouts for jump distance, you'd still have to cope with ledges one or two levels above or below your character, and of course in a game like megaman or original monti there would be considderably more since your jump hight could cover a very large vertical distance which would require similar audio indicators.

[Audyssey] Fifty Shades of Dark.
Games we'd like to play. Fifty Shades of Dark. Allison visits Dark at his company's headquarters where she finds him working out his patented fifty shades of blindness that had earned him a PHD and eventually a fortune. It was like a handicap in bowling in which your light perception could be plotted on a scale where 0 was total blindness and 50 was total sight. Then when buying an appliance or playing a game, all the person had to do was type in their Dark number and the game or device would instantly be adjusted to their specific visual needs. As she entered his office, she tripped on a wire strung along the door frame and fell on her face. Dark was standing behind his desk looking out the window observing the comings and goings of the people far down below. At the sound of her scream, Dark swung around and smiled. He was an impressive figure, two meters tall dressed in black, with his left arm in a sling because of a recent dueling wound. I see you don't understand the protocol of addressing me. You must bow to the great and hugely entertaining dark, before entering my office. Only then will the trip wire be withdrawn. Allison spoke, I was told your are the top authority on blind games and the most informative source on the subject in the world. Dark nodded, Yes that is true my dear. Now what would you like to ask me? There has been a rumor that you received your wounded left wrist not from a fencing battle but from playing too much Swamp. Is this not true? Dark frowned, saying, Drat you have me there woman. I have a bad case of mouse wrist syndrome. But pleas do not mention it to my adoring fans. They all think I am indestructible.

Hi Dennis, Good point.

[Audyssey] Python Games On the Mac?
Hi, all, I'm not a programmer, but I'd call myself an intermediate computer user, and I'm not afraid to try command-line options. I've run across a few Python games, but they don't launch. I'm using Mac OS X 10.8. I've installed Python 1.4, PyGames, and PYOCJB. When I run a .pyc file indicated for a particular game, the terminal launches and nothing else happens. Am I doing something wrong? The file association option indicates that it's using Python launcher for these files.

Re: [Audyssey] world of war query
Hi, here's the download link for the game, the developer is redesigning the website but currently it's very hard to navigate because it's 100% in japanese, it seems that the download of bk2 is also broken, it's giving a 404 error, I'll see if I can contact him and ask for a very basic english version of the site with at least the names and links of the games. http://www.nyanchangames.com/softs/wSetup_en.exe HTH Em 13/04/2013 18:56, joseph weakland escreveu: hello does anyone know how i can get the game world of war? the download link on audiogames.net don't work --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Python Games On the Mac?
Are you sure you're running python 1.4?

Re: [Audyssey] Python Games On the Mac?
Hi Teresa, Python applications are Python version specific. For example, if you have a program that requires Python 2.7 then you must install Python 2.7 and not any other version to run that application. Running a version of Python too old or too new will likely end up not working. Also you must install any third-party dependencies that the game needs. If you need Pygame 1.9 for Python 2.7 then regardless if you have Python install the game will still not run because not all the dependencies are met. Hope this makes sense. So if you want to run certain games first read its system requirements, find out what version of Python it needs, what game libraries it needs and then we can help you get it running on Mac. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Python Games On the Mac?
Hi Jacob, Not sure what version of Ubuntu you tried, but version 12.04 and later use Python 2.7. Ubuntu and most Linux distributions haven't used Python 2.5 for two or three years. However, I agree with the point that 2.7 is the current stable release. Anything less than 2.7 is old, and if she is really running 1.4 that thing must be 10 years old or more. :D Cheers!

Hi Teresa, Ah, that makes sense.

Re: [Audyssey] Python Games On the Mac?
Hi, guys, Thanks for the help. Yes, the instructions in the readme file were specific about dependencies and versions and such. I'm sure I followed them, but I'll double-check. There were a couple of versions of dependencies that I couldn't find in the given links, so I googled them. This is probably where the hitch came in. I'm used to playing with Linux distros and paying attention to such things, so I tried to be careful.

Re: [Audyssey] Revisiting dragon pass
Um, well, okay then. Here goes. Heh. Please don't take this the wrong or anything, I don't mean to sound all stalker-ish or whatever, but well, I would kind of like to get to know you better off-list. I've listened to your podcasts, as I say, and I think you and I would probably get along pretty well. I mean, you're a philosopher, and I, whilst not a philosopher per se, certainly like discussing philosophical topics occasionally, and of course audio games and suchlike. So, I was wondering if you had Facebook, or maybe even Skype. It'd be neat to have, you know, a dialogue sometime. Plus, you just sound like a cool dude. *grin* So, if you do have FB and wanna add me, do feel free. My name on there is Ceridwyn Bloodfang.

[Audyssey] old handheld games
Hi, While I was growing up, I enjoyed playing self-contained handheld games. I had a wide variety of these games, but over the years for one reason or another, they have disappeared. I'm wondering if anyone can help me track some or of them down. There's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one that was very blind friendly and it actually talked. I can't remember if there was a sub-title or anything for this particular game. Another one is Spiderman, where the hero battles these huge mechanized spiders created by one of his enemies. At the end of each stage, the three spiders would stack up and face Spidy as a combined tripple-threat. Sorry if this is off-topic, but I figured because this was a gaming list I would give it a shot. Replies can be sent directly to me if necessary. Thanks. PS: the above games are just two I am looking for, but if anyone can direct me to a place that has these types of games then feel free. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Python Games On the Mac?
Yes, I have Python 2.4. So the installer put it in the apps folder. I notice that there are other versions in /library/python. Should I move it there, or does it matter?

However, I agree with the point that 2.7 is the current stable release. Anything less than 2.7 is old, and if she is really running 1.4 that thing must be 10 years old or more. :D Cheers!
