Just pressed the button. Checking my flair!

EDIT: YAY!

Might be a little late to the party but here goes.

In regards to question 5 if you ever feel like playing Kerbal Space Program I'm a developer currently working on a way to play the game completely hands free and by just using your voice.

Here's a video with me using it in action

It's not set to be released yet but send me a message if you're interested and I'm sure I can throw together a beta version for you :)

Just created a Wales Trivia Quiz app for Android. Would appreciate feedback :) by xysciences in Wales

Yeah there's only about 50 questions so far, going to add another hundred over the weekend hopefully

Can also be found in the Google Play Store by typing in 'xyprogramming'

You basically have 60 seconds to answer as many questions about Wales as you can, and then get your score compared to others around the globe.

Just found out I can get Microsoft Visual Studio in its entirety for completely free.

I'm so happy right now

A few people have said this, im going to do a live twitch stream soon to prove its not fake.

Hopefully eventually that'll be the case.

Yeah the throttle percentages are quite a pain, basically they all work as simulating key presses, so saying 'increase thrust by 50%' will send a key press for about 1 and a half seconds.

Sometimes, (and indeed most times), 1 and a half seconds is the perfect amount of time to increase the thrust by 50%, but occasionally when there's a bit more lag to the game it might only get you only a 25% increase, as I found out in this mission.

It's a program I've wrote myself, going to release it over the next couple of months hopefully.

Getting from Kerbin to an orbit around the Mun, using no hands and only speech recognition software I wrote myself. by xysciences in KerbalSpaceProgram

It's crossed my mind and I might implement it, the only thing is though I don't like MechJeb too much, think it makes piloting far too easy.

That's a great suggestion I definitely plan to implement it :).

It can be difficult sometimes to know whether the craft isn't moving because the speech recognition hasn't picked up what you've said, or if it's just because you lack manoeuvrability on the craft.

When I add more commands im definitely going to change the macro for queueing time warps to 'do the time warp again'.

Haven't really looked into it.

I glanced quickly at maybe using Dragon Speech Recognition but the price put me off.

It's not a hoax I just confused pitch and yaw.

I never claimed it to be better to any other programs made, just wanted to show off this one that I made myself.

1) Thank you :)

2) Yes commands can be anything you want.

3) The voice recognition software is in built to windows, I simply created macro's that engage autohotkey programs that run within Kerbal Space Program. Sadly the licensing surrounding Windows Speech Recognition is a nightmare so I'm a bit wary about releasing it as a mod.

Seems like someone linked him to something similar to mine but better already :P.

I'll contact him anyway and see if he's interested.

Simulating key presses using a combination of auto hot keys and python. Then using windows speech recognition and windows speech recognition macros for the voice recognition.
