Re: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games
I used to play this game constantly when I had the Braille N Speak. I'm definitely interested. One question though, will you be adding sounds to the game? That would make it way more interesting for me. :) Ryan -- Original Message -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 19:59:22 -0500 Hi everyone, Recently on the Audiogames.net forum Harrylst announced he has ported Hack by Daniel Zingaro to the PC using the Blastbay Game Toolkit. For those of you who do not know what I am talking about Hack is a very simple but addictive game in which a player starts out with a Braille N' Speak Classic, and increasingly fights more and more complex notetakers by adding more ram and ways to hack the other notetakers. As I have said the game is fairly simple, but despite its simplicity it is a fun little game to play around with for a little while. As a result I have considered creating something similar, but instead of using notetakers I thought I might use something else such as robots or perhaps a warrior you could train to fight in gladiator type competitions. I am basically wondering if there is any interest in such a game as this? I know that such a game is likely to be fairly simplistic in nature, would in fact be very basic, but I currently don't have much time to devote to complex games like Mysteries of the Ancients or Raceway right now. So if I create anything at all it has to be fairly simple and easy to make. I realized that something like Hack is exactly the type of game I could create that would be fun, addictive, and not all that hard to make. Plus if I wrote it as a text based game I could create versions for Mac, Windows, and Linux without too much trouble which would make it available to pretty much anyone. Any thoughts on this idea?

Re: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games
There's something that I want to point out, and this seems like a good place to point it out. There's this movement in the sighted gaming community to move toward retro gaming. For them, that means eight-bit graphics, simulated eight-bit sounds, simple stories, and cheap prices. I suggest that our community isn't as used to the kind of glorious soundscapes that maybe we'd like, but retro is still neat. Sure, a game like this with sounds would be neat, but sounds aren't a deal breaker for me at least. A game like MOTA should, in my opinion, have great sounds, which it does, because it's an emersion experience. You might say that the goal of the game is to put you, the player, into the environment. A game like this, in this style, isn't an emersion experience. If the sounds are there, cool. If they aren't, sure. On another note, am I right in remembering that in Hack you could get another better unit if you leveled up, so you had to figure out whether it was better to upgrade your current unit or to wait for a better one? If so, I would really like to see that mechanic remain. if not, I'd like to ask that you consider implementing something like that. I really liked one thing about Hack, though. It was iconic to us, a sort of playful tour through history. It didn't neatly fall into the genre traps of fantasy, sci-fi, etc. It was purely fanciful. I'd like to see that again somehow. I don't know really how to explain it. I suppose the closest thing I can come up with are the silly games like Elf Bowling that sighted folks used to play, but even that doesn't really encompass it. Imagine a game where, say, Android products and iOS products got up and waged war on each other, something that silly and ridiculous and just plain fun. That was my favorite part of Hack.

Re: [Audyssey] Any Accessible Android Games
Android is really starting to get a good bit of momentum behind it in terms of accessibility and interesting accessible titles. The problem is, you're really only going to see those for a bit on really good phones or nexus devices. That's why, in my opinion, getting an iPhone is your best bet, if you haven't made your choice yet. Also, as a note, if you're in the U.S., as I think you are, try checking out Wal-Mart's Black Friday stuff. I think I remember seeing that you could get an iPhone 5c on the big two mobile carriers for $45 and a 5s for $100. I might be wrong, but if I'm not, that's really really good.

Re: [Audyssey] Any Accessible Android Games
Hi Dakotah, That's interesting. Only problem is I won't be able to take advantage of any Black Friday sales this year. Before my ex left me she cleaned out our bank accounts leaving me penniless, and I had to take out a loan for an attorney to represent me in the divorce and child custody dispute. As a result I am as broke as broke can be right now, and will probably be up to my ears in debt for months to come paying off the loan for the attorney fees. So sad to say $45 might as well be a million bucks right now. In any case I have not made any decision regarding what phone to get as I simply can't afford any of them until I get through my divorce and pay off the loans.

Re: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games
Hi Dakotah: I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head so to speak. The primary reason I wanted to write a simple game like Hack is for nostalgia purposes as much as the fact it is something simple and easy to do. During the mid 90's when I really began to have serious problems with my sight the first accessible games I could play were often text based games for Dos with Jaws for Dos, or I could download games for my Braille N' Speak. Neither type of game had much to offer in terms of sounds, music, etc but were still often fun to play in their own way. To address your questions as I recall in Dan's original Hack game you could upgrade to a new notetaker after you reached a certain point. While I can understand you wanting me to keep that mechanic in place I wasn't actually thinking of writing Hack per say. Just something simple like that where you pressed f for fight and you would have to battle it out with a robot, warrior, or whatever I based the game on rather than smartphones, notetakers, or something else battling it out. There is already a Windows port of Hack being developed so I see no need to reproduce someone else's work in that regard. Cheers! On 11/25/13, Dakotah Rickard dakotah.rick...@gmail.com wrote: There's something that I want to point out, and this seems like a good place to point it out. There's this movement in the sighted gaming community to move toward retro gaming. For them, that means eight-bit graphics, simulated eight-bit sounds, simple stories, and cheap prices. I suggest that our community isn't as used to the kind of glorious soundscapes that maybe we'd like, but retro is still neat. Sure, a game like this with sounds would be neat, but sounds aren't a deal breaker for me at least. A game like MOTA should, in my opinion, have great sounds, which it does, because it's an emersion experience. You might say that the goal of the game is to put you, the player, into the environment. A game like this, in this style, isn't an emersion experience. If the sounds are there, cool. If they aren't, sure. On another note, am I right in remembering that in Hack you could get another better unit if you leveled up, so you had to figure out whether it was better to upgrade your current unit or to wait for a better one? If so, I would really like to see that mechanic remain. if not, I'd like to ask that you consider implementing something like that. I really liked one thing about Hack, though. It was iconic to us, a sort of playful tour through history. It didn't neatly fall into the genre traps of fantasy, sci-fi, etc. It was purely fanciful. I'd like to see that again somehow. I don't know really how to explain it. I suppose the closest thing I can come up with are the silly games like Elf Bowling that sighted folks used to play, but even that doesn't really encompass it. Imagine a game where, say, Android products and iOS products got up and waged war on each other, something that silly and ridiculous and just plain fun. That was my favorite part of Hack. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games
Hi Ryan: I don't know yet. As I mentioned in a prior e-mail I an not actually writing Hack. There is already someone writing a Windows version of that game. What I am thinking of doing is creating a simple game like Hack with a different theme like boxing, warriors, robots, or something else. I would certainly like to add sounds, probably will, but I don't intend it to be as emerssive as Mysteries of the Ancients or Raceway. Its not that kind of game, and any sounds will be whatever I happen to find in my sound library that won't cost me a fortune in cash to add. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games
Hi Dark: I appreciate the suggestions, but at this point that is way more complicated than I was planning on for this game. Assuming I even write said game in the first place. By simple I mean keep it simple stupid as it gets. Basically, something I could conceivably write in a couple of weeks of free time. To give you an idea of where I am at in the thought process I downloaded the new Hack game for Windows from Audiogames.net, and well, thought I could write something simple like that too. Just something to create that would be a great little time waster, something that would keep my mind off my troubles, not take weeks and weeks of time to develop, and in the end just be something to play around with.. I do not want complex or in depth here. I suspect to some the game may sound lame, even a bit boring, but there are times where simple is fun too. That said, I can not go back and expand the game at a later time. In fact, I may very well do that. I would just create a very basic game now, and expand it when I have time to add something more complex. Same goes for things like sounds and music. Cheers!

I agree on your skills ideas and varieties of upgrades, whether warriors or robots, but I was also thinking in terms of what was actually happening in! battle, so that when fighting the player actually had different options to choose than just hitting the attack button over again. So just to take a simple example, rather than just role dice with all correct weaponry skills and do damage accordingly, have a number of defensive styles to choose before using each attack which can be used a limited number of times in the fight. Lets say for example, you see your opponent is using a dodge defense. well your obviously going to want a wide slash to be more likely to hit, so you might choose to hack with your sword. On the other hand, if your fighting someone with a sword and shield who chooses to block with their shield, well hacking away won't do much good so you might decide to try striking at their legs and putting them offbalance, so you'd choose an unbalancing attack which would make your next attack stronger. thinking of a fighting game this way, asmore of a card game where you choose to play different cards from your hand according to your oponent's stratogy rather than a dice game of who can roll the highest would make for a much more intereactive game, and also something where the randomness of the opponents you fight makes a major difference. of course this is just a suggestion and there are doubltess other possible systems, but I will confess it is one of the things that irritates me in so many rpg games, whether browser based, old text based ones or even simple battle affairs like Hack or tournament from bpc that basically all the stratogy comes from what stuff you buy or train with experience, and none is applied in the actual fight itself. After all in a real! fight, it's far more likely to be the person with the better stratogy, experience and instincts who wins, not just the one with the best equipment or the biggest muscles for all both are important. all the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Hack and Other Simple Games
Yes there is tom. Back in 1993 I played with a friend one must fall an old dos game that was improved later it had good battle music and was a robot war it was really cool. You could choose your units, or unit, equip it and train it then fight your way to victory. You can get cash for winning and other things and buy things, go on quests and other things. I am sertainly interested. At 01:59 PM 11/24/2013, you wrote: Hi everyone, Recently on the Audiogames.net forum Harrylst announced he has ported Hack by Daniel Zingaro to the PC using the Blastbay Game Toolkit. For those of you who do not know what I am talking about Hack is a very simple but addictive game in which a player starts out with a Braille N' Speak Classic, and increasingly fights more and more complex notetakers by adding more ram and ways to hack the other notetakers. As I have said the game is fairly simple, but despite its simplicity it is a fun little game to play around with for a little while. As a result I have considered creating something similar, but instead of using notetakers I thought I might use something else such as robots or perhaps a warrior you could train to fight in gladiator type competitions. I am basically wondering if there is any interest in such a game as this? I know that such a game is likely to be fairly simplistic in nature, would in fact be very basic, but I currently don't have much time to devote to complex games like Mysteries of the Ancients or Raceway right now. So if I create anything at all it has to be fairly simple and easy to make. I realized that something like Hack is exactly the type of game I could create that would be fun, addictive, and not all that hard to make. Plus if I wrote it as a text based game I could create versions for Mac, Windows, and Linux without too much trouble which would make it available to pretty much anyone. Any thoughts on this idea?
