[Audyssey] trouble in astro galaxy
I must confess sinse I finished the tutorial I'm a bit disappointed. I flew around and did some planetary missions, while I sent one ship off to explore an unknown signal, however when I got there there was nothing to do, nothing to explore or on the surface, just an object that said the event is stable I assume you need some equipment for this but goodness knows what. With my other ship, after completing some planetary missions I decided to try something new and tried following a distress signal with a cargo of medicines, electronics etc. It would take my ship 3 hours to get there so I set it running and went to bed, however when I got up this morning and found my ship was there the sos signal had gone from the navigation map, zip, nada, a big fat waste of fuel, indeed my ship seemed to be floating in deep space aimlessly. If these signals expire after a while, well why not tell people that? I then send my other ship off to a combat mission to be told you need 5 power For goodness sake, another waste of fuel and time. Couldn't the game have said that before! I spent the dam fuel getting out there? this is quite frustrating! especially sinse I so much looked forward to exploring the galaxy. I would ask on the Astro galaxy forum, but annoyingly it isn't possible to register without going through the stupid capture. Anyone got any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong here or what I missed?

Re: [Audyssey] problem with astrogalaxy
Those links are the inaccessible image ones, you need to look for the text hotspots, they're on the right of the system page, there is a list of all the planets and objects, eg, earth, moon, mars, asteroid belt etc, with the distance away they are under each. For example you should see Earth and under that 0 Au sinse that is where you are now. I'm afraid if your not getting those then you probably do need a better browser that will give you access to all the information on the game's pages. Indeed, given that the hotspots are just a pretty standard textual list I'm rather worried by the fact that they're not displaying at all on the braillenote, I wonder how much else you've missed on the internet if that is the case.

I do like Cyberkynetic :D. I suppose for me growing up in the 80's technology is sort of a natural extention of what was being done, after all I was playing games on the Atari 2600 when I was three or four, and I've always done my reading by audio if I could. Actually, I recently found out that the first compact disk became available to the public in Germany on quite literally the day I was born, august 17th 1982, which, given how much of a part listening to music and radio plays, audio books and computer games have made in my life is quite a coincidence. What I am concerned about at the moment isn't so much the technology in and of itself, but the technology as a form of purely social control by larger and larger coorporations, and the world of exchanging information and socialization online actually becoming both depersonalized and less free, especially compared to the trends in the 90's. Indeed, while technology plays a part in social change and in the world we live in I am coming to the conclusion that it is as much how that technology is introduced to society, what levels of control it involves and how people react to that technology that is more of a factor. For example, we have the technology right now in the world to setup a self sufficient luna or martian colony. hydroponics, rocketry, communications, power generation through self renewing means, it's all there, however that doesn't mean it's going to happen, sinse economically and cooperatively it's just not workable at the moment, (it doesn't make enough prophet for the fat cats). to bring this back to gaming, I actually also wonder if we'll see computer games and technological gaming devices on a smaller scale once we've removed the idea of games as purely comperized actions. We've already got tablets with gyros etc, but wouldn't it be cool to have a talking football that could tell you the direction and distance of the goal, and measure how much force you needed to kick it? Or how about a gun com controller for an fps game with real recoil? and remember the chat we had about voice control? Or how about a talking monopoly board, where the peaces track where you can move them and will speak their space, including a computer opponent who's peaces you could move physically but who's moves were tracked by the board's internal engine. I actually hope in a way the emphasis on social media, tablets and other devices falls off sinse technologically with the speed of information processing and the ability to monitor human action there are lots of interesting devices that could make rrecreational activities quite a lot of fun.

Re: [Audyssey] a well-known saying revamped by me
Hi Jacob. Access to information is a good point, though one interesting thing I've noticed is that, perhaps partly because of those abuses of power you mention, people do not believe technological information sharing is legitimate. For example,my mum was recently complaining over the fact that instead of primary school children being given physical story books, they were directed to the books online to read with their computers, tablets etc. We're not talking about blind or vi children here, just sighted children in normal schools of about 5 or 6. My mum believed that this was bad, that the kids were missing out and that it would discourage say a parent reading the story book together with their child. I however disagreed, (indeed a friend of mine already reads to his daughter off his kindle). Sinse just because you change the mode of outputting the information, electronically as apposed to a book that doesn't change a person's relationship to that information. yes, bad parents will probably say go to your room and read your school books on your computer and don't bother me but how is this different to bad parents saying the same of a physical book? I also agree Wikipedia is great, particularly if you just want some random information, although I do one legitimate concern is that when information is so readily available, will people's skills at assimilating, remembering and drawing conclusions from that informationn, though interestingly enough this is an area where computer games, especially the complex ones like King of Dragon pass can help as effectively a mental workout for the information processing and memorization centers of the brain, provided of course the games are designed so as to be challenging rather than just repetition. I do remember hearing something about the Golf thing you mention, though one quite interesting possible use would be blind accessible golf, sinse if you couldget not only course information but positional information about the ball and your stick, a blind person could play golf quite efficiently with the same informational advantages of someone with working eyeballs. Indeed, I wonder if in the future we'll see similar access to a number of sports, although having the word access in front will mean such things don't get developed that soon. I also wonder if eventually we'll start to see the development of new sports, especially with the analogue control methods. I already know there are world championships of dance dance revolution, though. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] a well-known saying revamped by me
With regards to people primarily using electronic information/reading sources, while I especially appreciate it nowadays, in the old days - a long time ago, one of my favourite activities was to go to an old, large library, and browse around the shelves - maybe it was something to do with the atmosphere of a library, literally browsing shelves of books, and coming across something where the title would catch your eye, and you'd read the blurb, and end up discovering a new author, all by yourself, or something, but, suppose book discussion clubs are somewhat similar, even if reading books in electronic formats nowadays, but, the one other thing have noticed with regards to some sighted children nowadays is they'd rather listen to the audio version of a book than try actually reading the story themselves - and that, I don't necessarily think is a good thing in the long run - I was one of those guys who before getting involved in most new activities, would pop round library, and do my own forms of research, and, much as I find it extremely useful/helpful, etc., maybe making it too easy to do quick bits of research isn't the best thing overall since it means people get too used to just accepting the first form of an answer they come across...smile I also, still, sort of refuse to use a word, in any context, spoken or not, that I can't spell, and that don't at least have a basic concept of it's meaning, in the relevant context, but anyway...whereas nowadays, lots of people are unable to, off-hand, spell the longer words they use on a regular basis when speaking, and if you ask them if they know the origin, or original meaning of a term that might nowadays get used often enough in media, or as a form of slang term, etc., in a way that sort of ignores it's origin/concept/meaning, they get confused that you're even asking them about that, but anyway - almost my own little form of a illiteracy rant, but anyway...LOL! And, again, in terms of gaming, etc., yes, there are quite a few forms of smartphone games that use acceleration sensors in phones to offer physical interaction, etc., like blind ping pong for the android platform etc. as well, as well as another form of experimental version of blind marco polo using android phones where the idea was to let multiple players play the same game, against each other, using their android phones, in an environment of something like a football field, etc. - also similar to sort of global treasure cacheing that some guys take part in where they'll stash their own little packages in odd places, and try sharing clues, or something like GPS coordinates on bulletin boards, and think the sort of rule is that if you find/encounter something like that, you have to leave your own package before taking the other one, or something, but anyway. I know some blindie golfers who just keep the right caddie with them, but, something like this might let them play more independently - or fall in more water features...smile And, I've already used smartphone GPS to navigate parts of outdoor environments, like campsites - was still trying to persuade some local guys to set up a form of outdoors, blindie, obstacle course using something like this at one stage.

Re: [Audyssey] clearing the air: re: my saying
Hi Nicol, In my opinion no apologies are necessary. I certainly wasn't offended by your use of the saying, and nor did I take it to mean that Apple devices were the only ones to keep someone entertained. In short, someone is making a big deal out of nothing. So no need to clear the air, but if it makes you feel better I consider the air cleared. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] How Do You Move To the Next Level? Was Re: Audio Defence
Hi Teresa. The way challenges work, is they're devided into arenas. For example the first arena is the training arena and it has 5 challenges, so to get to the challenges you need to tap the challenge button (not the endless button or the challenge info button), flick to the arena you want and tap it, then flick through the challenges within that arena. Also if you have hints turned on you'll be told how many stars you've earned in each challenge. When you finish a challenge, there are buttons at the bottom of the screen after the information on how well you've done to retry or play the next. Hth. All the best, Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] a well-known saying revamped by me
Hi jacob. Lets not get back into the spelling discussion otherwise we'll have certain list members riding their high horses. Regarding libraries and atmosphere, I do take the point on browsing and on the environment though this is probably one area where we'll see a fall back in net use, or perhaps see libraries which remain electronic but still exist for the reading promotion or community aspects in the future, indeed a friend of mine who works as a librarian at the moment says a large part of her job is social, which likely will remain even if the sources for information are electronic. this is one area where think obsessions with everything online might fall off in the next while as people realize the need for the space even if the information differs. Regarding the meaning and derivation of words at least, I see text speak as far more problematic in this area more than simply having the information, which is one reason i prefer e-mail to text myself. My concern actually with a lot of text speak isn't so much whether people use words without thinking of them as whether people know as many words to use if all conversations are of the level ur mi bff coswe duz gud stuff Regarding satnavs and electronic sports, satnavs are a major improvement in access technology generally and I can well imagine people hiking with them. What I am wondering in game terms though is if electronic devices will make their way into more games than currently exist, particularly ones requiring exercise and as you said, analogue movement. Btw, what is marco polo? that's one term I don't know, it always is a bit confusing why people splashing in pools or whatever on the Simpsons and other american programs start shouting Marco Polo. (I know your not American but obviously you know the term in this case). To me Marco Polo was an explorer who traveled across China (possibly accompanied by Doctor who):D. All the best, Dark.

And, again, in terms of gaming, etc., yes, there are quite a few forms of smartphone games that use acceleration sensors in phones to offer physical interaction, etc., like blind ping pong for the android platform etc. as well, as well as another form of experimental version of blind marco polo using android phones where the idea was to let multiple players play the same game, against each other, using their android phones, in an environment of something like a football field, etc. - also similar to sort of global treasure cacheing that some guys take part in where they'll stash their own little packages in odd places, and try sharing clues, or something like GPS coordinates on bulletin boards, and think the sort of rule is that if you find/encounter something like

Re: [Audyssey] How Do You Move To the Next Level? Was Re: Audio Defence
Thanks guys. I fear I may have run into another version of the same bug. The statistics and kills are at the extreme bottom of my screen, and if I do a three-finger-page-down, it just says rows 4 to 8 of 8 and goes no further. So I have to go to the next challenge the long way, which I described in my first message. Time to report this one, too.
