Re: Arcane Fortune - Windows/Linux/Mac console-played grand strategy game
zkline: thanks -- I got it working. Speakup is great. I can see with some additional work on the text cursor placement how I'd be able to play it myself with only audio.
I'd probably use the windows in the Accounting menu somewhat frequently to orient myself because they provide the distances and directions your current location is from your various cities and units. That and I think I'd define custom map sectors to quickly nagivate to (in the "Go" submenu), for the case when there might be a battle or problem spot for me to come back to later (if you're attacked, the game automatically brings you to the location of where the attack happened).

Dragonlee: I definitely experienced what you described about the flashing, even in speakup, and now that I disabled it in the test version of the game I'm working with, it's a lot easier.
As to your point about speakup being beyond the ability of most here--I don't know why it would have to be that way. If I installed it in a portable emulator and got it all setup in the emulator, you could just download the emulator and run it on your computer. With a bit of work (from me in packaging it nicely), it shouldn't be any more difficult to just click and run than it is to run any other game you download online. The emulator would output its own audio, so you wouldn't have to worry about having your Windows screen reader parse what it's showing.
