Hello,
I have some potentially interesting audio game ideas up my sleeve. But before I jump right in and get side-tracked by reinventing the wheel, I would like to ask those of you with development experience:
What do you think is the best free IDE for blind programmers to produce audio games in?
Here is a list of things I would like to be able to do:
1. Create minimalist GUI windows (e.g. menu bar, a list box and two buttons) without worrying too much about absolute positioning.
2. High-precision timer for game loop.
3. Locate sounds in 3d space; funky stuff like Doppler effect would be way cool, as well as audio environments (cathedral, outdoor court etc.)
4. Network communication (don't need anything more abstract than a socket).
5. SAPI.
Can anyone recommend a combination of language/ide that worked for him/her?
Sorry but I am currently unwilling to give away any details concerning the nature of my blueprints. I wouldn't want to be adding to the pile of unfulfilled game promises out there. What gets done, gets done. Thanks for your understanding.
Greetings,
EternalGamer
