Re: Could Jim Kitchin's games possibly get screen reader support
maybe, if someone could get the source code. I remember a phone conversation that I had with Jim back in 2014. He said that the reason he never upgraded from Savi was because he thought he wouldn't be making games complex enough for that, and that also, he thought he wouldn't be making new games and updates to games after 2005, so thought that screen reader support wasn't necessary. As you all might know, JAWS, window Eyes, and Super Nova were the only widely used screen readers in 2004 and 2005, so, since Pure Basic didn't have the ability to work with JAWS, well enough, it wasn't practical, unlike the DOS ages, where the screen reader read out the command line. Mind you this is basically a summary of Jim's words from what I can remember, but it's possible. If he wanted to, he could use the old DOS technique, and rout it all to the screen, but that would mean, basically rewriting the whole game, basically.
