Re: [Audyssey] Towers Game

Hi,

Definitely not. Visual Basic 6 is a totally Microsoft thing. People
who write in that language are by definition only concerned with
Microsoft Windows and nothing else.

That said, it is sometimes possible to get VB programs running under
Mac OS and Linux via wine. In fact, I'm trying to get that going right
now as I want to play a number of accessible games under Linux, but of
course they all use a crappy non-standard language like VB 6 which
means setting up a Windows emulator like wine to play non-Linux
programs written in strictly Microsoft proprietary languages.

Good point, I think I was getting confused with hitting ctrl on towers to 
upgrade them.

You can also do some cool things in the latest version like pressing 1 or 
shift 1 to review the row and column, press the graave accent key next to 1 
to have an ascii file of the current map in the games folder in case you 
want to braille it (one chap on the forum did).

Pluss apparently more towers are on the way too.

Beware the grue!

There are land tiles (two types), which you can build on, and water tyles

you lose a life.


To fight the monsters, you can buy towers and place them on squares (press

on a genre of mainstream stratogy games popular on pc's and Iphones and such 
(look up tower defense games on wikipedia for details).


Basically, you have a 10 x10 audio grid ala time of conflict or similar. 
There are land tiles (two types), which you can build on, and water tyles 
which you can't. A path runs across the map (use shift E or e for 
description).


When ready ie, when you press spacebar and enter, a bunch of monsters will 
start walking across the path. For every monster that makes it to the end, 
you lose a life.


To fight the monsters, you can buy towers and place them on squares (press 
ctrl on a square then use the tab key), which do various types of damage in 
a circular area around the tower. The towers can then be upgraded to do more 
damage, have a wider range, or fire more times per minute.


The catch is,you only have a limited amount of money, so need to spend 
wisely,  for instance putting towers where they can reach multiple areas 
of the path (B7 to E7 are great places on the first map for instance).


When you've placed your towers, hit spacebar to start the monster attack, 
(you'll be told what sort of monsters are in the next level and their stats, 
then be asked to press enter to confirm).


What your towers fire (you can hit B on each tower to see what it's doing, 
but also moving around the grid will give you audio feedback), then if you 
make it through, start using the gold you got from that bunch of monsters to 
upgrade your towers or build more in preparation for the next wave.


As I said, check the posts, sinse lots of stuff gets added literally every 
day (I've never seen a game be developed this fast), for instance most 
recently for instance the appocalypse mode, which substitutes the normal 20 
levels of monsters for wave after wave of zombies increasing in difficulty.


I hope this gives people a better idea of the game.

I'd deffinately recommend it, it's really quite addictive, and surprisingly 
fun, not to mention more complex than it looks at first.


Beware the grue!

Dark.

Hi,
You're using the arrow keys to try to navigate the menu, which is not the 
way to do it in this case.  Tab and shift+tab are what you need.

Hope this helps,
Zack.
