maybe a crowd-sourcing or some sort of funding campaign could be set up
to raise money for blindfold games on android?

Hello
Android and IOS are two very different systems but
it is as easy to produce accessible apps from both.
The problem is the return from Android is very low to nil even with the
low developing costs.
IOS is very expensive to code for but is offset by the numbers who
download and are willing to pay for apps.
The workload Blindfold games would have to do is huge and would be for
probably little or no return.
I would suggest that Blindfold Games start a funding drive to cover the
costs of converting the apps to Android such as kickstarter or some such
service.
I wish them all the luck in the world.

Android 2.1 was when I stepped in to the world of Android and even

excited though.

HI
I wonder why the developer never gave thought to developing for Android?
Oh
wait, I know; Android IS NOT accessible!! No, it is ONLY PARTIALLY
accessible and NOT ENOUGH blind users!!" So dead on, when I was at
LWSB as an assistant instructor I tried my darndist to educate Dean
the head instructor about androijd. His answer "My friend says
android is not as accessible, he owns an android device". Me, "I'm an
android generation 1 user, I've had several android devices, what do
you not find accessible?" Dean "it can not perform taskks as well as
voiceover on the IPhone". Sadly the blind institutions still push IOS
over IPhone and this dev fell for it line, hook and sinker. Parden
the pund, the dork even blew me off as well. I'll go out on a lim
here as well, Steve nut and a select few have me be by 1.6 or donut.
I came in 2.1 have been around for a lot of time. I have a board on
zonebbs "The Boards - Recommended android apps
" see link: https://www.zonebbs.com/boards.php?t=24861 its still
kept updated to day. So while I would love to help marty should my
coding classes pan out, marty has to pull his head out of the past and
approach a android dev or me later on.

Ps LWSB in little rock AR has zero excuses for teaching android, a
tablit was donated by me running lollipop 5.1.

I agree. Would love to have them on the play store. I know Marty
couldn't, or wasn't interested in bringing them to android or even
windows. I hope someone will a lot of them sound like fun.

Yes, but there are really blind people out there who still believe
that
because they have been told it.

oh come on you gotta be kidding me! android not accessible or
partially
accessible? that is rediculous! maybe that was true with android
gingerbread
and icecream sandwitch in 2010 and 2011 but starting with jellybean in
2012
android accessibility began to greatly catch up with IOS. These days its
just as good as apple stuff, but without the high development costs of
apple. I had a tablet running on 4.1 jellybean and it worked fine. My
android marshmallow tablet is better than that one and I'm sure android
nougat and the later oreo will be even better. but not really because
everything in android is an app. so i get webview virtual web buffer
updates
and talkback updates and accessibility API updates even though my
devices
may still be on android marshmallow and lollipop.

Josh, you won't need to buy an iOS device for the Blind Fold games.
Why?Well, Apple changed some format; the developer MUST MIGRATE to the
newformat for continued development. Developer believes that such a
migrationwill be an expensive proposition and therefore unwilling to
dance
to thesound of Apple's drums! Therefore, there shall be NO FURTHER
development orupdates for Blind Fold games. In addition, developer
only
made money within a three-month period followingrelease of games;
otherwise,
it's flat land here and there. I wonder why the developer never gave
thought
to developing for Android? Ohwait, I know; Android IS NOT accessible!!
No,
it is ONLY PARTIALLYaccessible and NOT ENOUGH blind users!! Anyway, if I
can
find more extracts from the developer, I'll post in thisspace.
