looking for a little help and suggestion , I want to try, at least
consider the sims 4 is an old game and somehow easy to understand,i'm not posting this to coding room because I think we need to talk a bit first, for funtions, worrying and more.
another reason of posting this, because i see how good the factorio mod is, and the sims 4 even easier than factorio
I want to make a mod for the sims 4 to communicate with screen reader, like NVDA about the worrying
i'm not a very good coder, and don't have experience about communicating in two softwares
the most worrying is NVDA will upgrade to python3.11, and the sims 4 won't upgrade, will still in python 3.7
will it make it unuseable in some case
basic funtion may not that hard, because large amount of the game is menu base
for example, you get a microwave, it will have menu to make dinner, have tab like popcorns pizza and below it have options, you hit an option so the person will do it.
similar with most objects, other people, as long as the person can see it, you hit it, and a menu will pop up.
we need to let the mod to read each stats of the persons, objects
harder funtions are
1, we need to know what objects around the person, so we can hit it with mouse, let the person do what we think.
2,camera length, because it's a god mode game, so we as player have camera, it's not always follow the person we are controling.
3, map, it's even harder, but the map in the sims 4 is easy to understand
each world split to different areas, you would think worlds are cities, and areas are different large areas around the city, range from apartments area, shopping mall
each world have few areas to choose from, when we open the map,, it's just a special menu
the harder part about the map is, we need to see different buildings in the area when the person is standing.
thinking about the camera mode in the factorio, if we can get x/y number and the stats of the object , just like what I think in camera length, it should be fine.
the most difficult part is, the build mode
it's called manage worlds, or build mode, let you buy most large things, from tables to computer to TV, but it's also the mode we can design the house, it's
it's really difficult, consider the hard part you try to design the factory in factorio
but if we can make the camera mode work in build mode it's mostly done.
thoughts? and more?
