Reid,
What visual clues do I use to indicate sounds in CC?
Right now I'm using brackets.
For example, a kids game I'm currently coding says the name of an animal,
then plays its sound.
I want to distinguish the sound from the name.
So I'm currently sending our CC display the string:
Squirrel <Chitter>
Similarly, a story game I'm working on has dialog and incidental sounds.
I'm currently sending our CC display strings like:
Detective: Where were you on the night of the twenty-third? Mr. Pernicious:
<gasp> Why, that is a personal matter, Detective!
I suspect that there is no universal standard.
However, you would know if there are general user expectations on this.
And if they are specific by culture: American, British, etc.
Thanks,
John Bannick
