hmmm I wonder if such games would run in virtual machines? if not I may
need to eventually buy a refurbished machine with windows8 on it to play
touch screen games but I have a feeling that won't happen for awhile
yet. maybe 5 or 10 years or so. and remember thomas that me, personally?
if I wanted to play touch screen based games I would just get an android
or ipod touch or ipad. why lug around a windows8 laptop? I'd at least
get a windows8 tablet and not a full laptop or full desktop for that
purpose.

Hi Dark,
Well, one thing about Windows 8 has me excited is the support for
touchscreens. I haven't looked into how to integrate that support into
a game, but I think it would be awesome if any game of mine had
touchscreen support and I could simply flick my fingers left or right
to move in that direction etc. The only problem is even if I added it
into a game the majority of blind gamers, I'd say about 99% right now,
don't have the hardware or software to make adding it into a game
worth my time. So until I see more Windows 8 users I'm probably not
going to put that list of potential features high on my list to
develop. At least not right away.
The reason I would not do so is for very practical reasons. If you are
running XP and I want to sell a game to you that means I have to make
the game XP compatible. I would be better off not adding some features
and extra code that I'd have to rewrite or completely remove to run on
XP.So everyone does without. So if you are waiting on me to create a
game with all the new technologies it will never happen until you
upgrade first. Once you do and then I'd consider upgrading my game
with new features. :D
Cheers!

Well tom I wasn't around for any of the previous debates, but please don't
missrepresent my position.
I never said "I won't upgrade", only that I want a good reason to.
if you think you can make something good with all these new audio and what
not, ---- go ahead, and it is that very fact which would make me want to
upgrade.
Beware the Grue!
