Description
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark is a multiplayer computer game, dedicated to animate parties. The purpose of the game is to find the answer related to a sound. The faster to react can answer, and take the points.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Due to the abstraction of the game, multiple games can be played :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who sings this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the interpret of a song has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's this song ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the name of a song has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the origin of a sound has to be found (animal, cars, common items, ...)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who tells this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where a known personality has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;and much more ...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
The Game
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The gameplay is pretty simple, and uses only the keyboard and the mouse (to navigate during the configuration). Each player (from 1 to 4) is associated with a key, that she has to press when she thinks she has the answer. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Each game can be easily configured with different settings, reflecting the choices of the players. The settings include :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The time to answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The points gained for a good answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The points lost for a bad answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The time the sound is played&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
List of sounds
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark doesn't provide any sounds. It's up to you to create lists to confront your friends. Think of themed lists, such as the &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Top of 80's&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Feral Creatures&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Series Celebrities&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; and other. The &lt;b&gt;Tracklist Manager&lt;/b&gt; provided make the creation of lists easier. Any thoughts on how imrpove it are welcomed !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Because anyone is not forced to know the exact spelling of each name, Blind Shark integrates a misspell detection system, which compares the number of differences between the exact answer, and the proposition. There's also the possibility to get multiple answers for one sound (i.e. : &lt;i&gt;The Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Stones&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
To Come
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark is still in development, and new functionalities and improvements are still to be developed. The Tracklist Manager is the next part of the development.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This wiki will also be improved with pictures, more informative pages, and the french version will be updated (because I'm french, and the development is made by french people --&amp;gt; me).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you want to join and help me building Blind Shark, feel free to post in the Discussions part !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
Technical things
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark uses the following technologies / programs :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Developed in C# 2.0, using the &lt;a href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/" class="externalLink"&gt;SharpDevelop&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; IDE&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Graphics&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Input&lt;/i&gt; are managed by the &lt;a href="http://cs-sdl.sourceforge.net/" class="externalLink"&gt;SdlDotNet&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; library&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Audio&lt;/i&gt; is managed by the &lt;a href="http://www.fmod.org/" class="externalLink"&gt;FMod&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; library&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Compressing&lt;/i&gt; is managed by the &lt;a href="http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html" class="externalLink"&gt;LZMA&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; library&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Installer&lt;/i&gt; is created with &lt;a href="http://dreamshield.developpez.com/" class="externalLink"&gt;DreamShield&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

The FAQ has been updated.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I'm currently working on two parts of Blind Shark.&lt;br /&gt;The first is the refresh of the Tracklist Manager, which don't manager only the Tracklists now. The profiles and avatars can also be manage by this indenpendant program. &lt;br /&gt;Then, I'm working on a new &amp;quot;End Game&amp;quot; screen, with much more informations. All the games can also be saved. Statistics are not far !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All this in the next version, maybe the 0.6 !&lt;br /&gt;

Qu'ai-je besoin pour jouer ?
&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Vous avez besoin d'un ordinateur tournant sous Windows XP ou Windows 2000. Je n'ai pas test&amp;#233; Blind Shark sous d'autres syst&amp;#232;mes d'exploitation, et il semble y avoir des probl&amp;#232;mes sous Vista.&lt;br /&gt;Le &lt;a href="www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5" class="externalLink"&gt;Framework .Net 2.0&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; doit &amp;#233;galement &amp;#234;tre install&amp;#233;. Cet outil est fourni par Microsoft, et permet l'ex&amp;#233;cution des programmes construits &amp;#224; l'aide du .NET Framework. L'installeur prendra soin de cette &amp;#233;tape.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="question2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;
Quels types de fichiers musicaux sont jouables ?
&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Les formats de fichier suivants ont &amp;#233;t&amp;#233; test&amp;#233;s avec succ&amp;#232;s :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;mp3&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;wav&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;ogg&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="question3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;
Pourquoi l'avoir appel&amp;#233; &amp;quot;Blind Shark&amp;quot; ?
&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Le nom &amp;quot;Blind Shark&amp;quot; a deux origines.&lt;br /&gt;  Le mot &amp;quot;Blind&amp;quot; (aveugle en anglais) vient du principe du jeu. On appelle &amp;quot;Blind Test&amp;quot; ce genre de jeu o&amp;#249; l'on doit retrouver une musique. Voil&amp;#224; pour &amp;quot;Blind&amp;quot; ...&lt;br /&gt;  Ensuite, je cherchais un nom original pour le jeu. &amp;quot;Blind Test XP&amp;quot; ou &amp;quot;Blind Test 2007&amp;quot; ne me plaisait pas vraiment. Comme je d&amp;#233;veloppe le programme en C# (# = Sharp en anglais), j'ai trouv&amp;#233; &amp;#231;a cool d'associer les deux. J'ai l&amp;#233;g&amp;#232;rement modifi&amp;#233; le nom pour aboutir &amp;#224; &amp;quot;Shark&amp;quot;. Voil&amp;#224; pour &amp;quot;Shark&amp;quot; ...&lt;br /&gt;  Et plus tard, j'ai d&amp;#233;couvert que le &amp;quot;Blind Shark&amp;quot; &amp;#233;tait une v&amp;#233;ritable esp&amp;#232;ce de requin (requin aveugle des roches). D'o&amp;#249; le logo !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</description><author>Gulix</author><pubDate>Thu, 06 Sep 2007 14:22:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">UPDATED WIKI: fr_FAQ 20070906022253P</guid></item><item><title>UPDATED WIKI: FAQ</title><link>http://www.codeplex.com/blindshark/Wiki/View.aspx?title=FAQ&amp;version=2</link><description>&lt;div class="wikidoc"&gt;
&lt;a href="#question1"&gt;What do I need to play ?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.codeplex.com/blindshark/Wiki/View.aspx?title=What%20kind%20of%20music%20file%20can%20I%20play%20%3f&amp;amp;referringTitle=FAQ&amp;amp;ANCHOR#question2"&gt;What kind of music file can I play ?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.codeplex.com/blindshark/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Why%20did%20you%20name%20it%20%22Blind%20Shark%22%20%3f&amp;amp;referringTitle=FAQ&amp;amp;ANCHOR#question3"&gt;Why did you name it &amp;quot;Blind Shark&amp;quot; ?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="question1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;
What do I need to play ?
&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You need a computer running under Windows XP or Windows 2000. I haven't test Blind Shark under Vista myself, but it seems to have problems.&lt;br /&gt;You also need to install the &lt;a href="www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5" class="externalLink"&gt;Framework .Net 2.0&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This program is provided by Microsoft to enable the execution of the softwares build with the .NET Framework. The installer will take care of this step.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="question2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;
What kind of music file can I play ?
&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Current file formats have been tested successfully :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;mp3&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;wav&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;ogg&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="question3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;
Why did you name it &amp;quot;Blind Shark&amp;quot; ?
&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The name &amp;quot;Blind Shark&amp;quot; comes from two origins. &lt;br /&gt;The word &amp;quot;Blind&amp;quot; stands for the purpose of the game. It's called a &amp;quot;Blind Test&amp;quot;. So for the &amp;quot;Blind&amp;quot; ...&lt;br /&gt;Then, I wanted to find an original name. &amp;quot;Blind Test XP&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Blind Test 2007&amp;quot; didn't suit me. Cause I develop the software with the C# language (C sharp), I find this cool, and change it to &amp;quot;Shark&amp;quot;. So for the &amp;quot;Shark&amp;quot; ...&lt;br /&gt;And later, I discovered that &amp;quot;Blind Shark&amp;quot; was a true specie of shark. Then I found my logo !&lt;br /&gt;

Description
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark est un jeu sur ordinateur ax&amp;#233; multi-joueurs, d&amp;#233;di&amp;#233; &amp;#224; l'animation des soir&amp;#233;es.Le but du jeu est de retrouver la r&amp;#233;ponse associ&amp;#233;e au son jou&amp;#233;. Le plus rapide &amp;#224; r&amp;#233;pondre prend les points.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark permet de proposer plusieurs types de parties :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Qui chante ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;o&amp;#249; il faut retrouver l'interpr&amp;#232;te d'une chanson&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;C'est quelle chanson ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;o&amp;#249; il faut retrouver le titre d'une chanson&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Qu'est-ce que c'est ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;o&amp;#249; il faut retrouver l'origine d'un son (animaux, v&amp;#233;hicules, objets courants, ...)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Qui parle ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;o&amp;#249; l'on doit retrouver le &amp;quot;propri&amp;#233;taire&amp;quot; d'une voix&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;et pleins d'autres  ...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
Le Jeu
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Jouer &amp;#224; Blind Shark est assez simple, et ne requiert que l'utilisation d'un clavier et d'une souris (pour la navigation dans les menus). Chaque joueur (de 1 &amp;#224; 4) se voit associer une touche du clavier, sur laquelle il devra appuyer pour pouvoir r&amp;#233;pondre.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Chaque partie peut facilement &amp;#234;tre configur&amp;#233;e selon diff&amp;#233;rents param&amp;#232;tres, refl&amp;#233;tant les go&amp;#251;ts et les envies des joueurs. Parmi les param&amp;#232;tres, on trouve :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Le temps accord&amp;#233; pour entrer la r&amp;#233;ponse&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Les points gagn&amp;#233;s pour une bonne r&amp;#233;ponse&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Les points perdus pour une mauvaise r&amp;#233;ponse&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;La dur&amp;#233;e de lecture d'un son&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
Liste des sons
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark n'est fourni avec aucun son. C'est &amp;#224; vous de cr&amp;#233;er vos propres listes, auxquelles se confronteront vos amis. Pensez &amp;#224; des listes &amp;#224; th&amp;#232;mes, comme &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Le Top des ann&amp;#233;es 80&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Cr&amp;#233;atures F&amp;#233;roces&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Les Voix des Guignols&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; ou d'autres encore. Le &lt;b&gt;Gestionnaire de Tracklist&lt;/b&gt; fourni permet de cr&amp;#233;er facilement des listes. Toute id&amp;#233;e pour l'am&amp;#233;liorer est la bienvenue !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Comme tout le monde ne conna&amp;#238;t pas forc&amp;#233;ment l'orthographe exacte des groupes, Blind Shark int&amp;#232;gre un syst&amp;#232;me de d&amp;#233;tection des erreurs, qui compare le nombre de diff&amp;#233;rences entre la r&amp;#233;ponse exacte et la proposition. Il y a &amp;#233;galement la possibilit&amp;#233; d'avoir plusieurs r&amp;#233;ponses exactes pour un m&amp;#234;me son (&lt;i&gt;The Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Les Stones&lt;/i&gt;, par exemple).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
A Venir
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark est toujours en d&amp;#233;veloppement, et de nouvelles fonctionnalit&amp;#233;s, ainsi que des am&amp;#233;liorations, doivent encore &amp;#234;tre d&amp;#233;velopp&amp;#233;es. Le Tracklist Manager va &amp;#233;galement &amp;#234;tre r&amp;#233;&amp;#233;crit pour la prochaine release.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Ce wiki sera &amp;#233;galement &amp;#233;toff&amp;#233; avec des captures, des pages de manuel pour les diff&amp;#233;rentes fonctions. Le wiki anglais sera prioritairement mis &amp;#224; jour.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Si vous souhaitez rejoindre et aider le d&amp;#233;veloppement de Blind Shark, manifestez-vous dans la section Discussions !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;

Description
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark is a multiplayer computer game, dedicated to animate parties. The purpose of the game is to find the answer related to a sound. The faster to react can answer, and take the points.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Due to the abstraction of the game, multiple games can be played :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who sings this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the interpret of a song has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's this song ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the name of a song has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the origin of a sound has to be found (animal, cars, common items, ...)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who tells this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where a known personality has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;and much more ...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
The Game
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The gameplay is pretty simple, and uses only the keyboard and the mouse (to navigate during the configuration). Each player (from 1 to 4) is associated with a key, that she has to press when she thinks she has the answer. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Each game can be easily configured with different settings, reflecting the choices of the players. The settings include :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The time to answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The points gained for a good answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The points lost for a bad answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The time the sound is played&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
List of sounds
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark doesn't provide any sounds. It's up to you to create lists to confront your friends. Think of themed lists, such as the &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Top of 80's&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Feral Creatures&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Series Celebrities&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; and other. The &lt;b&gt;Tracklist Manager&lt;/b&gt; provided make the creation of lists easier. Any thoughts on how imrpove it are welcomed !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Because anyone is not forced to know the exact spelling of each name, Blind Shark integrates a misspell detection system, which compares the number of differences between the exact answer, and the proposition. There's also the possibility to get multiple answers for one sound (i.e. : &lt;i&gt;The Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Stones&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
To Come
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark is still in development, and new functionalities and improvements are still to be developed. The Tracklist Manager is the next part of the development.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This wiki will also be improved with pictures, more informative pages, and the french version will be updated (because I'm french, and the development is made by french people --&amp;gt; me).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you want to join and help me building Blind Shark, feel free to post in the Discussions part !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
Technical things
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark uses the following technologies / programs :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Developed in C# 2.0, using the &lt;a href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/" class="externalLink"&gt;SharpDevelop&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; IDE&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Graphics&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Input&lt;/i&gt; are managed by the &lt;a href="http://cs-sdl.sourceforge.net/" class="externalLink"&gt;SdlDotNet&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; library&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Audio&lt;/i&gt; is managed by the &lt;a href="http://www.fmod.org/" class="externalLink"&gt;FMod&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; library&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Compressing&lt;/i&gt; is managed by the &lt;a href="http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html" class="externalLink"&gt;LZMA&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; library&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Installer&lt;/i&gt; is created with &lt;a href="http://dreamshield.developpez.com/" class="externalLink"&gt;DreamShield&lt;span class="externalLinkIcon"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Pensez &amp;#224; des listes &amp;#224; th&amp;#232;mes, comme &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Le Top des ann&amp;#233;es 80&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Cr&amp;#233;atures F&amp;#233;roces&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Les Voix des Guignols&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; ou d'autres encore. Le &lt;b&gt;Gestionnaire de Tracklist&lt;/b&gt; fourni permet de cr&amp;#233;er facilement des listes. Toute id&amp;#233;e pour l'am&amp;#233;liorer est la bienvenue !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Comme tout le monde ne conna&amp;#238;t pas forc&amp;#233;ment l'orthographe exacte des groupes, Blind Shark int&amp;#232;gre un syst&amp;#232;me de d&amp;#233;tection des erreurs, qui compare le nombre de diff&amp;#233;rences entre la r&amp;#233;ponse exacte et la proposition. Il y a &amp;#233;galement la possibilit&amp;#233; d'avoir plusieurs r&amp;#233;ponses exactes pour un m&amp;#234;me son (&lt;i&gt;The Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Les Stones&lt;/i&gt;, par exemple).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
A Venir
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark est toujours en d&amp;#233;veloppement, et de nouvelles fonctionnalit&amp;#233;s, ainsi que des am&amp;#233;liorations, doivent encore &amp;#234;tre d&amp;#233;velopp&amp;#233;es. Le Tracklist Manager va &amp;#233;galement &amp;#234;tre r&amp;#233;&amp;#233;crit pour la prochaine release.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Ce wiki sera &amp;#233;galement &amp;#233;toff&amp;#233; avec des captures, des pages de manuel pour les diff&amp;#233;rentes fonctions. Le wiki anglais sera prioritairement mis &amp;#224; jour.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Si vous souhaitez rejoindre et aider le d&amp;#233;veloppement de Blind Shark, manifestez-vous dans la section Discussions !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;

Description
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark is a multiplayer computer game, dedicated to animate parties. The purpose of the game is to find the answer related to a sound. The faster to react can answer, and take the points.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Due to the abstraction of the game, multiple games can be played :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who sings this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the interpret of a song has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's this song ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the name of a song has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What's this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where the origin of a sound has to be found (animal, cars, common items, ...)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who tells this ?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;where a known personality has to be found&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;and much more ...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
The Game
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The gameplay is pretty simple, and uses only the keyboard and the mouse (to navigate during the configuration). Each player (from 1 to 4) is associated with a key, that she has to press when she thinks she has the answer. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Each game can be easily configured with different settings, reflecting the choices of the players. The settings include :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The time to answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The points gained for a good answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The points lost for a bad answer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The time the sound is played&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
List of sounds
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark doesn't provide any sounds. It's up to you to create lists to confront your friends. Think of themed lists, such as the &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Top of 80's&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Feral Creatures&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Series Celebrities&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; and other. The &lt;b&gt;Tracklist Manager&lt;/b&gt; provided make the creation of lists easier. Any thoughts on how imrpove it are welcomed !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Because anyone is not forced to know the exact spelling of each name, Blind Shark integrates a misspell detection system, which compares the number of differences between the exact answer, and the proposition. There's also the possibility to get multiple answers for one sound (i.e. : &lt;i&gt;The Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Rolling Stones&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Stones&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
To Come
&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Blind Shark is still in development, and new functionalities and improvements are still to be developed. The Tracklist Manager is the next part of the development.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This wiki will also be improved with pictures, more informative pages, and the french version will be updated (because I'm french, and the development is made by french people --&amp;gt; me).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you want to join and help me building Blind Shark, feel free to post in the Discussions part !&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;
