Re: [Audyssey] jim's concentration game
Hi Nicol, In the original TV game show Concentration every time a player would match a prize part of the visual puzzle behind that prize would be revealed. The player had to guess the answer of the puzzle. I do not believe that it ever defaulted to the player with the most prizes. I guess that could work for my game though. Either that or just keep letting the players guess at the number until someone got it. And I could probably let you use the arrow keys like in my battle ship game. But I probably would not get rid of the that was an invalid space message. Truthfully I had no plans to work on my concentration game. I have several other things in mind to work on. But maybe when I get them done... Thank you very much for saying that you do like my Concentration game.

Re: [Audyssey] jim's concentration game
Hi Nicol, I was just thinking, you could check out my simple sample guess the number game. You know, just to practice at guessing the number for my Concentration game. I believe that the best thing to do is to bracket your guess. That is the first guess might be 50. If the number is higher guess half way between 50 and 100 like 75. If lower than 75 but higher than 50 guess at half like 62. keep bracketing the number like that and you should be able to guess the correct number before using up all of the prizes in Concentration. The guessvb.zip file can be found on my free windows sapi5 text to speech games page. guessvb.zip. is a simple sample guess the number game with it's VB6 source code. It uses the sapi5 text to speech engine and DirectX. I have commented the code hopefully so that one can tell what each line of code does. All of my code is in the guess.frm file and starts with the line that reads ' Sample guess the number game By Jim Kitchen Everything above that is put there automatically by VB6.

Re: [Audyssey] jim's concentration game
Hi Jim Thanks for writing back. I will try out your method of bracketing the numbers. But I still need to know why I was stuck in the game. Why didn't the game finish after I match the last pair of items? Is it because I didn't guess any numbers correctly? -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Jim Kitchen Sent: 26 November 2010 12:58 PM To: NIcol Subject: Re: [Audyssey] jim's concentration game Hi Nicol, I was just thinking, you could check out my simple sample guess the number game.

Re: [Audyssey] jim's concentration game
Hi Nicol, Yes, my concentration game has no provision for a person or the players not guessing the correct number before running out of prizes. And that is what you said that you did. The game would have ended and said who won and listed the prizes if one of the players had guessed the correct number.

[Audyssey] jim's concentration game
Hi Jim I'm posting to the list so that others who play your concentration game can comment if they wish. I enjoy your concentration game a lot. In fact, I think that your concentration game is better than Ian Humphreys' brainiac game because your concentration game has a guess the number game included and the pairs of items in your game is much more exciting. I wish to give you some feedback. 1. Yesterday evening I was playing your concentration game. I got stuck in the game. I couldn't finish the game. I had to exit with the escape key. I didn't manage to collect any prizes as I couldn't guess any of the numbers between 1 and 100. But I was stuck in the game. I managed to match all the pairs of prizes. There was no prizes left to match. I pressed the different grid locations from a1 to e8 but each time the game informs me that its an invalid space. Is this a bug maybe? After matching all the prizes, isn't the game supposed to end announcing the person with the most correct matches as the winner? I pressed a1 through e8 many times but each time I was informed that its an invalid space. IN other words, the game did not end after I managed to match all the pairs of prizes. Its Nothing major, I just thought of informing you in case it's a bug. 2. In ian's brainiac, the player move with the arrow keys around the grid, pressing enter on an item to match a pair of items. Is it possible to add this feature in your game? It will make it a bit easier if I can move with my arrow keys to an item instead of pressing a letter and number each time. Again, its nothing major. Just a suggestion. 3. If I accidentally press an invalid letter or number, the game tells me to press any key to continue. If you are unable to add the feature to move with the arrow keys in the grid, is it possible for you to remove the prompt to press any key to continue? In other words, if the player press an invalid letter or number accidentally, is it possible for the game to just immediately again prompt for the first or second letter and number combination? Thanks once again for concentration, I enjoy it a lot. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] jim's concentration game
Hi Nicol, The only prize in my concentration game that has a price of $75 is Braille monopoly game. There is also a watermelon for $3.75 and a brand new brick home for $755999.95. But they all have always worked for me. There is also several prizes in the adult version with a price of $75 but they all also have always worked for me. So I am not sure what to tell you. - Original Message - HI jim I have noticed something. One of the prizes in the grid seems to be 75 dollars In hard cash. Sappi will sayh for example Worth 75 dollars. While with all the other prizes it will first say the prize and then the amount such as: Can of cream corn worth 1 dollar. I looked in the concentration.dat file, I haven't added 75 without a prize. Have you included this 75 dollars as a cash prize or is the concentration file corrupt? Nothing major, I enjoy the game a lot. I was just wondering where this 75 dollars without a prize name came from. thanks Jim Vista; A distant view, as through a passage or opening.
