[Audyssey] mud question about display
Hi, I've noticed that many of the muds give you a so called heads up display (health, magic points, and movement, and possibly ammo counts) on the screen after every turn is changed so to speak. Cyber assault is a perfect example of this. you can turn the prompt (as it is called in cyberassault) off by typing prompt %n and hitting enter. Alter aeon does not have this prompt, as far as i kno, but many of the other muds do, including Anodyne (the one I was asking about a month or two ago) and , Aardwolf.MCL, and4valon.MCL. Wondering if there is a simple way of finding out how to turn this display off in the games. I'm sure the command is different in each game, but what commands would you suggest to include in a help querey in such games.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible fruit machine for iPhone question
Hi, the only thing I got so far is a message which says something like Great, your game ended with 140 points. for example. As far as I noticed I got this message when my score was over 100, regardless if I got a higher score before or not. It said nothing about a new highscore, even if I got one and nothing about new symbols unlocked.

Re: [Audyssey] mud question about display
Hi Keith, Alter Aeon does have a prompt too, but when you use MushZ to play it is turned off by default and you get the infos through sounds from the client. In many games it helps to type help prompt. In others the prompt is part of a settings or configuration screen, so try typing help settings or help configure. That should work most times. In cases where this didn't work I just asked around in the game.

[Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Hi all, I've recently started trying to begin to program some simple games in java. I'm working from a command line cyntax, and I was wondering if anybody on here would be able to give me some guidance on a few subjects. I'm looking for help with the following: *how to manage creating and acting within maps *different ways of saving/loading games *basic ai concepts (getting enemy characters to move within the game world) *possibility of playing sounds? *how to gracefully exit out the game *possibility of compiling the game so people don't have to have the jdk installed to play If anybody is willing to help me with some of these, please contact me off-list, and I'll give you more details on what I have so far and what I'm thinking about trying.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Hi, For sound, there is OpenAL which I found to work quite nicely. Similarly, for input you have JInput. There are also full engines written on top of these frameworks, such as LWJGL. I think some Googling will get you to the right webpages. For distributing your games, I suggest you have a look at launch4j. Keep in mind that even if you create a Windows executable, the end-user will still need a JVM, either preinstalled on their system or provided by your package. Whatever you do, you'll probably want to draw a basic graphical user interface for your game's application, if only to catch user input. SWT is probably the way to go.

As far as input goes, I'm currently using the windows command line and the Scanner class to get data.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Are you saying you want textual input and output as well? If you're only trying to capture the arrow keys and a few other keys then something like JInput is a more robust solution. But if you want interactive, textual input the console can certainly be very useful. QuentinC also adapted his screenreader API for Java.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Hi John, Quote I've recently started trying to begin to program some simple games in java. I'm working from a command line syntax, and I was wondering if anybody on here would be able to give me some guidance on a few subjects. End quote Yes, among the languages I know or have used Java is one of them. I think I should be able to lend you some help. Although, I am not too keen on using Java programming for game programming myself. Quote *how to manage creating and acting within maps. End quote This all depends on how sophisticated a collision detection you want to incorporate into your games. The usual way you would handle this is create an object for every wall, door, staircase, etc in your game level and then use a bit of trig to calculate weather two objects encounter each other or not. Another more simple way is to simply use a 2d or 3d array and fill it up with walls, doors, staircases, etc and then use that to find out if your player character runs into any of those things. Quote *different ways of saving/loading games. End quote For that you will want to read about object serialization in the Java documentation. The basic idea is you convert all of your game objects into a binary stream and then write it out to a data file for later use. You then de serialize that data back into your objects to restore the state of the game. Quote *basic ai concepts (getting enemy characters to move within the game world). End quote The subject of artificial intelligence is pretty much an entire field of study in and of itself. However, at an extremely basic level you can use a trig formula to calculate the distance and direction to the player object, have it move towards the player, and when the player is in range have it attack. I think this is a subject that really requires its own thread with examples as it is not something that can be briefly explained in one or two paragraphs. Quote *possibility of playing sounds? End Quote Again depends on how advanced you want to go with this. You can use the Javax Sound API for a basic sound mixer to load and play sound clips, set volume, pan, and frequency, but that is about all it will do. If you are thinking of virtual 3d audio then you will want the Java OpenAL API, Joal, for that. Quote *possibility of compiling the game so people don't have to have the jdk installed to play. End quote I personally would not do that if I were you. The entire point of picking a language like Java is so that you the developer can write cross-platform applications that will run on Mac, Windows, and Linux. If you are thinking of making OS specific Java applications then I don't see any point in using Java.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Hi John, Well, I would certainly agree that you should stick with text for now. When you get into Java GUI applications it becomes tricky to make them fully accessible with current screen readers. Java's Swing API only works with screen readers that support the access bridge, and even then you run into problems with 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems breaking compatibility with the Java access bridge. SWT and Jface is a much more accessible solution than Swing, but is a little less portable. Console input/output is really the only surefire accessible combo with Java based apps unless you know what you are doing with the GUI toolkits. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Yep, I've had great results with SWT, but the transition from Windows to Mac requires some fiddling. That said, if all you want is to write an audio or text-based game with no visual elements, then engines like LWJGL have a means to draw a simple (though CPU-intensive) main window for you. However, if you're still learning Java and its most common classes, I'd advice against using such massive frameworks. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2013 17:48 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice Hi John, Well, I would certainly agree that you should stick with text for now.

Saving (not written yet at all): I have a list of variables in memory for the players stats/items etc, I would write these to a file and use Scanner to load them back into memory later. Movement (unwritten/tentative): I'm planning to have a method that would calculate the array value of a map coordinate in a specific direction (start=caller's position,east=start+1, north=start+mapWidth, etc), and then tell what type of terrain that is. If it's clear, an I want to move multiple squares (ranged weapons/line of sight) I keep running that method until I hit a wall. Ai: I have absolutely no clue how I want to code this (maybe build a line of sight for the enemy and if the player goes there have the enemy move or attack). In general, I'm trying to keep the code as simple as possible, as I'm not great with geometry, and my trig is limitted at best.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Hi, Definitely not. In fact using array lists for game maps is really a bad idea if a developer is concerned about memory and CPU efficiency. Java isn't as slow as it use to be in the bad old days, but still a game developer should really try to use a trig or calculus based collision detection system than avoiding the math by using an array or array list.

To be fair, Java is actually quite fast these days because the virtual machine it runs on can optimize code for the exact hardware you're using, rather than for some common set of hardware components that pre-compiled languages tend to target.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for game programing help/advice
Hi John, Well, that depends on a number of factors. The type of array, the size of the array, if it is multidimensional, etc. However, If you had a standard integer array of 1024 elements that would be equal to 4112 bytes, or approximately 4.1 MB of memory. That's just one dimension. If you have a 2d array of 1024 by 1024 you would square the amount of memory being used which equals 16908544 bytes or 16.8 MB of memory. My calculations might be slightly off, but the point is arrays will add up very quickly. The larger the array the more memory being used. On today's machines 16 MB of ram is nothing, but still if there is a more efficient less memory intensive way to do this it is a good idea to do it if possible. Cheers!

[Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntax difference between bgt and java
Hi all, I've spent the last several hours working on a possible game in java, and I'm feeling increasingly that I would rather be trying to write an action rather than a text-based game for this concept. Therefore, I've started taking another look at the bgt documentation. I'm finding some of it rather difficult to follow, as I don't do exceedingly well with large amounts of examples. If anybody wouldn't mind drafting a general comparison of the bgt to java cyntax for me, I would really appreciate it.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntax difference between bgt and java
Hi John, As Java and BGT are both based on the C-style syntax the syntax itself is pretty much the same. The differences between the two comes down to built-in classes and functions. So since you know a bit of Java it shouldn't be too difficult to learn to use BGT. Cheers!

[Audyssey] volume of sounds in Jim's games
I installed some of Jim Kitchen's text to speech games onto a friends computer. It is a Windows XP machine with a creative Labs Soundblaster Live card. The volume of the SAPI voice is fine, but the sounds in the games is very low. For instance, you can hear the directions the golf game gives, but the theme song and crowd sounds, as well as the power indicator sounds can almost not be heard.

charles firstly what is your os and arcatecture and system type. From your message, I'd first check I had the latest drivers from creative.com, also what is your soundblaster live exact model. I have not delt with this. next, check yourvolume settings and your control panel. the creative panel can be a bit screwy but you will be able to find things. I assume you are using 7, if you are using 7. check the volume for the kitchensinc program is maxed, there is probably another slider if you have this issue still. is this in all games? I'd also suggest running the microsoft fixit for sound, if there are any other issues let me know. if you can get me the info I can try to search things. you may try soundblaster live low volume in some applications as a search.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntax differencebetween bgt and java
Hi John, As I indicated before it all depends on exactly what type of game you are writing, and what exactly you want to do. If this is just a 2d side-scroller than you can get by with declaring a couple of variables to hold your coordinates. Basically, just an x variable to hold your horizontal movement and a y variable for your horizontal movement. However, if you are thinking of an FPS where you will have 360 degrees of movement then we will have to work on building at least a trig based system of movement which isn't complicated to do. I guess before I can really answer your questions maybe you can give us an outline of the game you want to create in BGT. Once you give us a basic outline of what you plan to do we can give you the best advice possible. Cheers! On 7/28/13, john jpcarnemo...@comcast.net wrote: Thanks.

Something with a lot of action. And easy to follow quests. Lindsay Cowell -original message- Subject: Re: [Audyssey] mud question about display From: Sarah Haake ti...@gmx.net Date: 28/07/2013 1:35 pm Hi Keith, Alter Aeon does have a prompt too, but when you use MushZ to play it is turned off by default and you get the infos through sounds from the client. In many games it helps to type help prompt. In others the prompt is part of a settings or configuration screen, so try typing help settings or help configure. That should work most times. In cases where this didn't work I just asked around in the game.

Re: [Audyssey] zork series.
There's a Hitch hikers Guide game?...My friends and I played Zork, back when, and even with all of the smoke and drink we got through them...A friend who was going for a degree in physics engineering developed a Holy Graille game...It was a blast, but kinda illegal since Monty Python knew nothing about it...Have a Great Monday, friends On 7/10/13, Sabahattin Gucukoglu listse...@me.com wrote: It's probably much easier and simpler to just get the Infocom app, then pull it apart to extract the z-code.
