Hi Willem, I just did some research on supported Java platforms and it appears Mac X Leopard comes with Java 1.5.13 , and of course there is both Windows and Linux versions of Java 1.5.13. As a result if I write my future games in Java making a game cross platform should be a piece of cake. Java has it's own gaming APIs, the Java accessibility API, which happens to work with Jaws, VoiceOver, and Orca which means any games I create would work with the three major screen readers in question. Window Eyes still is behind with Java technology, but I can't help it if GW Micro is not on the ball with Java like other screen readers apparently are.
