But the more challenge the better in my view

For the record, *EVERYONE* complains about difficulty. I don't think
it's fair to pin this specifically on blind people, fun as it may be
to do so.

Hi. Well, I intend to go steps further and write a commercially
viable
game that can be played by both the sighted and the blind. I've
invested
lots in learning software development, and it seems to me a huge
waste of
all that money if I don't put what i learn to practical use,
hence my
intention to write a video game which is also accessible. Cheers!

So far as I know most audio game devs don't even bother with
graphics
since they're totally blind or visually impaired enough that
graphics
wouldn't do them any good.

Subject: [Audyssey] Questions for all you game developers on the
list
Hi All. I am in the midst of writing an accessible video game
and have
a few questions
to ask. First up, I'd like to know which open source engine is
most
frequently being
used by all you experienced developers, or hav you had to build a
graphics and audio
engine for your game from scratch? Second, I am still juggling
in my
mind as to
whether I'll code my game in cSharp or c++. In comparison, are
there
any significant
drawbacks or significant advantages in terms of performance and
reliability if i
were to choose one above the other? I am quite profficient in
both,
although I've
taken a microsoft certified course in cSharp, whereas for c++,
it has
been mostly
self taught. Also, if anyone of you could point me to a good
tutorial
on keyboard
input, especially for triggering audio events, I'd really
appreciate it.
my last
question is, if i had to resort to Microsoft's DirectX SDK for
developing my game,
is there a way to make the keyboard controls accessible? Any
input is
extremely
welcomed. Cheers! and thanks
