Re: [Audyssey] Q9 Has a New Home
Which is basically everybody's point. I also don't think that anybody's actually come right out endorsing piracy, or at least most aren't. There is a difference between endorsing something and just saying that one will feel little or no sympathy for someone if said thing happens to him.

Re: [Audyssey] Good browser game for learning vo
Hi Dark, I have to offer a note of caution that a Mac as a machine primarily for browsing probably isn't a wise move. For one thing, though there have been a recent spate of bug fixes, browsing with VoiceOver still leaves much to be desired if you need efficiency. For another, the transition to either a different browser or a different version of Windows would be quite a lot cheaper and less effort. Don't get me wrong, there are things that the Mac does well at (enough for me to have owned several of them), but IMO browsing isn't one of them. Even on I7 machines with SSD's and 8gb of RAM or more, I frequently get busies from VoiceOver for extended periods when browsing ... a joy that you won't have experienced yet if you're coming at this from an iPhone.

Re: [Audyssey] Good browser game for learning vo
Hi Scot. I've seen enough people using the net successfully on a mac to make me think it's doable, just with much less easy commands from the demo I had today. It struck me that a mac was the best option, sinse I have no interest in post xp windows, or rather post xp windows offers nothing that xp doesn't do better apart from the internet, where as with a mac I'll get compatibility with my Iphone and a different set of programs to play with. true, no games, but there are some things online I've wanted to do such as starting a blog which might be more possible on a mac than currently with xp, and who knows what happens in the future.

Well, as long as you're going into it informed then I shall wish you good luck. Call me cynical perhaps, but while we're here talking about it I may as well take the opportunity to point out that, should you decide VoiceOver is a steaming pile after a while, you can get Windows running very nicely on Apple hardware nowadays. It wouldn't be XP unless you run it in a virtual machine (seeing as Apple dropped support for XP long before Microsoft), but at least there'll be a way back of sorts. Good luck man.

All of the functions in the library take a parameter of wchar_t. Is that the same as char* (bgt's way of passing a string)? The specific function I'm trying to get work is brailleMessage, but whenever I try giving it some info the display just puts up its I don't know what these characters are ascii codes. I know there must be a way of interfacing with the library, as its used in the built-in screen reader speech functions, but I can't seem to figure out what it is. Does anybody know how I can make this thing work, or have some pointers (no pun intended) to get me going in the right direction?

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 Has a New Home
+1 Nick Adamson. Also remember that many developers read the audiogames.net forum and this mailing list. Seeing how community members respond to one developer's choices is an easy way to guess how they would act towards other developers whenever they find something disagreeable. Expressing frustration in a civil manner is one thing, but name calling and open endorsement of piracy is entirely different. ~ Ian Reed Try my free games at http://BlindAudioGames.com On 7/29/2015 12:17 AM, Nick Adamson wrote: Hi all. The content of this thread is making me a little uncomfortable. You may not agree with what has happened but encouraging piracy and personal attacks makes no one look good and especially from people normally respected in our community. As there is nothing you can do about the Q9 situation why not try to see the positives. People who wouldn't normally play audio games are being introduced to them and that may lead to them finding out what else is out there. Thanks.

[Audyssey] bgt dll call interface question
Hi all, I just spent a while playing around with the dll interface in bgt, working on trying to interface with NVDA's controller library, and now have a couple questions for anybody who knows how dlls work better than I do (that's everybody). All of the functions in the library take a parameter of wchar_t. Is that the same as char* (bgt's way of passing a string)? The specific function I'm trying to get work is brailleMessage, but whenever I try giving it some info the display just puts up its I don't know what these characters are ascii codes. I know there must be a way of interfacing with the library, as its used in the built-in screen reader speech functions, but I can't seem to figure out what it is. Does anybody know how I can make this thing work, or have some pointers (no pun intended) to get me going in the right direction? I'd really like to try implementing braille support into some stuff, and even more so to start learning how to make the dll magic go. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Good browser game for learning vo
Tomorrow I probably will be buying a mac as an iternet machine. i will still have my xp box (when the error is fixed), and don't plan to move too much of my activities off it (for one thing Itunes is evil), however net browsing and xp isn't being friendly due to microsoft being stupid. I'll still of course have my xp machine for games and probably most things, however obviously I'd like to get used to vo on a mac and nothing helps so much with that than games. i know that there aren't many dedicated games for mac (virtually none in fact), however, it would be great if there were some games kicking around that I could practice using vo on. I'm thinking particularly of things like browser games, sinse it's net browsing I'll be doing, maybe interactive fiction or other text games. Any suggestions? oddly enough iI'm not particularly playing any browser games at the secondd, though as I said any thoughts would be good. 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] bgt dll call interface question
Hi John, wchar I believe is a unicode character, so in other words a 16-bit character instead of 8. If you like, you can contact me offlist. I'll try to get you going with this.

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 Has a New Home
Hi Josh, Yes, lets drop the stealing topic. It has no place on this list, and it is getting very close to breaking the list guidelines. So with that in mind I consider that subject closed.
