Hi folks, Just subscribed here after having a poke around in the archives. There seems to be a few developers on the list and hopefully a ton of newbies like me, so this shouldn't be too much of a taxing question for a first post. I'm a totally blind guy from London UK. Currently undertaking the last few modules of a music technology degree, and I have a module starting in a few weeks entitled Experimental Sound. In an ideal world, I'd create a little cross platform game that my marker could play (there is an emphasis on little here lol) with a couple of chalenges they have to work through as a blind person. The maps would be very basic, environments/objects/landmarks/all sounds can be collected easily with a few hours work and a decent recorder if I can find a day when it's not raining here hehe. My issue is, I can't code for toffee. I took a few classes in delphi many moons ago, know a fair bit of html and css stuff, so the concepts of programming aren't totally alien to me, but I've never attempted anything like this. So I guess what I'm looking for is advice to get me started. Is there a simple-ish way of generating something that would run on windows/mac in particular? Are there any tutorials/podcast/articles you'd recommend to get me started? If it helps, I can give an outline of the first mission I had plans for to give you a better idea of how simple this needs to be in comparrison to the commercial audio-based titles, but I'll keep a lid on it for now seeing as this is getting long already.
