[lighttechinteractive] Re: Problems with the hoarse racing game.

hello,

thank you very much for your comments! we really apreciate it!
yes, as a matter of fact we did come up with a flying battle simulation 
game(not airplains though). you were in command of an army chopper trying to 
defend your self and complete the various missions radioed to you...
how ever, we stopped developing that game due to the level of involvment it 
takes in order to make it propperly(and so it will not be another "shoot them 
all" game). how ever it doesn't say we won't in the future continue where we 
left off and develop that game.
btw I do like your idea of a smaller game based on simulating a flight senario, 
we may do something of the sorte after completing our current game(which you 
guys don't yet know about).

thanks very much again.
take care,
Yakir Arbib

  Hi Rob.  I wanted to write you publically and thank you for these fantastic 
games.  I am an avid gamer, and I have many games, both freeware, and 
commercially available, and I have to say that your games are just as fun to 
play and cool as the commercially available games, even better in some cases.  
Lite cars and lite locator are my absolute favorite games of yours to play.  I 
play them several times a week, and post sometimes to the score boards.  BTW do 
you sometimes reset the score board to get rid of old scores?

  I've had a dream for years now of wanting an airplane game for the blind.  
Either a fightter game, or just simply trying to fly a plane load of passengers 
safely to a destination.  I think if anybody could do it, you guys could.  I 
know that Draconis has a topgun table, I've never played it, but that's the 
only one I know of.  If GMA games put something out, their's no doubt in my 
mind that it would be very good, but a lot of us wouldn't ever be able to play 
it, much less understand the mechanics of flying, so that we could play it.  
What I have always dreammed of is a game where you could fly solely based on 
ear and hand cordination, much like lite cars.  You could have other planes fly 
at you, and you have to avoid them, or maybe something similar to top speed2, 
or something like that, and I think you guys could do it.  I wonder is this 
something that you've looked into, or would be willing to investigate?  All the 
best, and keep up with the great work, and thanks for all you have done for us.

  Hello all lighttechers,
  First of all, i'd like to welcome our newest subscribed members on the list!
  And now towards the dark, the horse racing game and the chambers of bugs.
  When you enter something to the config manager, and press the save button, 
the application will tell you that the information has been saved, and then 
it'll exit. After that, when you go back, your saved data won't be visible in 
the appropriate edit boxes, but that doesn't mean your data was not saved.
  About the game is locked up, i have no idea why, as i didn't manage to 
reproduce it. Try choosing another speech method, maybe the problem is with the 
window eyes support.
  Let me know what is the result, maybe we have another strange bug with thrg.
  Best regards,

  Rob

  Hi Nicol, 

  I have uninstalled it, and reinstalled, and I have even updated my version of 
directX, from version 8 to 9, and still no joy. Also after I have entered my 
info in to the edit boxes, and selected window-eyes and press enter on the save 
button, despite being told that the info has been saved, it hasn't. Because if 
I go back in to configuration the edit boxes are empty. 
  All the best
  Petrina,

  Well, this is usually why window eyes says that a program wants attention. 
Its window eyes' way of telling you that a program needs to be switched to in 
order to complete a task. Programs that flashes on the screen tell the user 
that he needs to switch to a program, the program is waiting for the user to 
complete the task. But in your case it might be a bug that causes the program 
to flash and then abort, asking you if you want to send an error report.

  A program ight flash for other reasons, maybe it might flash to indicate that 
its not responding but window eyes always sees the flashing as a request to 
switch to that program in order to complete a task. Window eyes is not smart 
enough to detect why a program is flashing. 

  Your best bet is to uninstall and re install.

  It never happened to me.

  All the best

  Appologies if what I'm going to say now has already been said.

  I also used window eyes. If window eyes says a program wants attention like 
horse racing game wants attention, it means the program is flashing on the 
screen.

  Its window eyes's way of telling you: this program needs to be switched to.

  Hi Rob,



  I can not tell you any more, than when I press enter on the icon on my 
desktop, nothing happens. And when I launch window-eyes, I am told the hoarse 
game wants attention, and the only way to get out of the game, is to press alt 
f4. And there is only two edit boxes one for my first name, and one for my last 
name, no edit box for my email address. 

  All the best

  Petrina

  Hello Petrina,
  Can you explain your situation in more detail please?
  For example, i do not understand "the hoarse game wants attention" sentence.
  Basically, you need to enter your name,your e-mail which is optional, and you 
need to select a speech method. After saving your data, you can start the game.
  Usually, quiting from a game with alt+f4 is not a good idea, it can cause 
unpredictable results. Choose it only if you have no other way to exit.
  Rob

  Hi all,

  I have installed the horse racing game, and filled in the edit boxes with my 
  first name and last name, and selected window-eyes as my screen reader. But 
  when I press enter on the icon on my desktop, nothing happens. Then after a 
  while I am told that the hoarse game wants attention. So I press alt f4 to 
  escape out of the game, and then I am told end game this game is not 
  responding. When this happens if I go back and look at the edit boxes, where 
  I filled in my name they are empty. I have also installed the Treasure Mania 
  1 game, and that is working fine. So I would be grateful for any help you 
  can give me. My operating system is windows xp.
  All the best
  Petrina,
