I haven't played the game in quite a while, but as I recall, if you line things up absolutely perfectly, you can actually knock out at least one of the prison bots (I'm thinking the one near the elevator and the one at the terminal) without getting hit. My strategy was to first head for the guy by the elevator. If you can't here the robot it won't shoot you, so if you're quick you can use side steps to make sure that you're aimed right at it before you walk into its range. Then all you have to do is shoot. For the bot by the computer, if I remember rightly he's standing right in front of the door. Open it, shoot once, and hammer your walk backwards button. If its done right, he'll be chasing you through the door, which lines him up perfectly for your follow-up shot. This is a bit of a rambling post, but hopefully it gives you some pointers.

Re: [Audyssey] mud client question
There's a difference between clientside and serverside aliases, and that's what you're hitting here. In mushclient, aliases use wildcard characters to represent blocks of unknown text, and reference those wildcards with %x. For example: alias: k * send: kill %1 when you type k your client will send kill followed by the name you entered. The major difference here is that you are creating an alias on your computer, rather than the mud's server. This syntax will not change from mud to mud, because it is not dependent on the system the developer has on their end. Also, all the processing is done on your end. This can have minor affects on how things are handled when the server recieves them. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Why Android development is not in theforeseeablefuture
Too true, Thomas - current workaround could also be to bring up global context menu - default gesture is down and then right, activate talkback settings on top right, and turn off explore by touch, and this after launching game, but, suppose issue then would also be how to turn it on again, easily, if the primary talkback context menu gesture was then being ignored - will need to maybe test that one myself at some stage, and this would/could then also interfere with standard interface elements, if game still used/needed them at times. But, yes, wish these large, corporate types would open their community eyes, but, suppose the primary issue there is target market size - they care more about millions of sighted guys with bankrolls than they do about a relatively miniscule community whose needs aren't high on their lists of priorities.

Explore by Touch is necessary for examining the screen and doing a lot of useful things on an Android phone or tablet, but it hijacks the touchscreen so it makes it difficult to implement various gestures and commands for games etc. An alternative is to simply turn off Talkback while playing and use TTS, but as I have discussed in a previous post that is not always the most desirable option. Let's take for example a game that could be made universally accessible like Hangman. If designed with a decent text display it could be accessible to someone sighted, deaf, deaf-blind, and blind through that text display. However, the minute developer chooses to get rid of that text display and depend exclusively on audio output such as TTS automatically they are making the game inaccessible to both deaf and deaf-blind end users, and there is no need for that to happen.

Re: [Audyssey] Reviving the Wheel
Hi Damien, Thanks. I really do think this is the best decision you made given that you put a lot of hard work into this game, and I'd hate to see it be lost to everyone just because you were concerned about a few customers feeling cheated or something. My philosophy on this is that if you put a lot of hard work into something you might as well let people who could not afford it or didn't buy it at the time enjoy it. Plus as Dark and I both have said buy releasing it as freeware you are giving your game a bit of immortality it didn't have before. Cheers! On 2/23/14, Damien C. S.
