Re: Swamp, zombie fps by Aprone
Hello all. Found some interesting news on the Russian site. I represent your attention a machine translation. At the end of the message will contain a link to the original news.
Blind student from Karaganda developed computer games for the blind
Sixteen-year student from Karaganda Adil Uralbaev developed computer games for the blind, the newspaper The New Herald.
As the newspaper writes, Adil Uralbaev fascination with computers began four years ago when he was only 12 years old.
According to the student, first using Audio management interface he has mastered the basic programs and learned how to write text on the computer.
Later mastered the internet. And one day, in a search engine by typing the word "audio games" found anything like this in the Internet simply do not have.
- I was very surprised - says the boy. - Of course, I was disappointed that I did not find anything. Ring games are not suitable for the blind, because they rely o
n visual perception, and I needed those based on the sound.
After thinking a few days, Adil decided to take matters into their own hands and write a game himself. He took a simple idea: the players just had to drive a virtual bird into the house, having a maze of pipes.
The names of this game and did not appear, but their audience is still found. Delighted, Adil decided not to stop there and create a few more games.
Some time after the release of the first game schoolboy became actively communicate in one of the social networks for people with visual impairments. It was there that he met a guy from Australia who also was blind. As Adil learn English and have mastered it at a sufficient level, it was easy to tell a new friend about his thoughts and plans.
Australian schoolboy supported the initiative, and together they created a program that the voice of all the action taking place on the monitor. With the help of such a program for blind people can learn much
faster computer and work with it becomes much easier.
Later, together with the same partner and their new mutual friend Jeremy from the U.S., who was also registered in the specialized social network, they created the game "Swamp" also focuses on blind users. Jeremy was the owner of the game server, which agreed to provide for the game and created Adil. Now in the "Swamp" play every day for about two and a half million blind. The game is translated into 43 languages, but neither Russian nor Kazakh until Swamp came out. Over her transfer only active work.
Meanwhile, plans to officially register their friends association as a company engaged in production of computer games for blind people.
