Well, if I get help in this comminity project it'll go far enough where
people can start using it to make salable games. That's the beauty about
this project--it's totally open all the way. Once it's built up, new coders
will be able to see exactly how it all goes together and get ideas for their
own games. That's how I did it. thank you Justin from BSC for that chopper
patrol code! I would have never gotten started if it weren't for that, which
is why I'm still hoping a simple game in vb.net comes along.

And as I've observed in other posts Joke Rehab as I like to call it is no
real help. That's why I'm glad that while I eventuall hope to be able to
make and sell commercial games I haven't yet. I know they'd ct most of my
SSI, to the point where Iwouldn't be able to support myself.
But thou must!

Well the more corrupt you are with the US government. The more you
get. Even though our forefathers did it the honest way. A corrupt
government sees that as not needing help for anything. I see more
people filling jobs the blind can do with ease. While the blind get
told the job is not accessible for them to do. I had one real good
job working in the tech field. They tried to make the software I used
not accessible just so they could remove me and it worked. When jaws
scripts won't work and more graphics come into play you lose every
time. See they put those graphics there so people not knowing
anything about computer systems can just click on the picture of the
problem and get solution. That system cuts down on training. So most
of those techs you call for help only know the pictures in front of
them and not anything about computers or the system your having problems
with.

This post implies that blind people are lazy and not looking. I recently
put up my resume at every spa, beauty salon, doctor's office, and so on
that was in the area. I even went to a few salons. One hair stylist
actually had heard of me, and said she heard I was the best massage
therapist around. I was flattered and figured i'd get the job for sure,
but did I? No. Not even a callback explaining why.
So what am I going to do, take all my excess money and sue for sexual
discrimination? After all, nobody wants a man touching their bodies. The
guys want women, and the women want women. Or should I sue for blindness
discrimination? I don't think I can satisfactorally prove either case
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
My point is that there are blind folks looking for jobs and not finding.
Yeah, it's easier to stay on SSI, but is it desirable? Is it conscionable?
Are we getting fat and rich on the system? Absolutely not.

Tom,
I agree with 95% of your post below. Developing games isn't a walk in the
park, financial or otherwise. But there is one comment you made that I
want
to underscore.
"Developing high quality games costs lots of money. Far more money than
the
average blind American collects from SSI checks each month."
Absolutely true, which is a great incentive for blind people to get jobs.
Ryan
