Actually, Jason got his Jaws code for entombed from me.
for a long time, entombed had no screenreader support other than SAPI,
and I wanted to help him get the game out there to as wide an audience
as possible, as it is a great game and he was really working hard to
create something new for the VI community.
I prodded him for a while on his entombed list to include jaws
support, but he had tons of other stuff to deal with, and being sighted,
didn't really realize the importance of including support for the
majority screenreader out there in a commercial game, so I went ahead
and sent him my screenreader code I was using for the blind adrenaline
card room.
Of course, Jason had to modify my code to fit into his system, but
there isn't much to including jaws support in a game if your setup is
modular.
At least that is the case with .net, with vb 6, I'm not so sure, all
I've ever programmed in is VB.net and c sharp.
However, if someone as inexperienced as me can do it, any experienced
programmer should be able to get it up and running in no time.
Frankly, I don't remember how I got docs for the .api, that has been
a while back, but its out there somewhere.
Also, I have a question about castaways. I love Jeremys games, and
want to check this out, but I unzipped it and read the read me text, but
that only lays out the keys.
I tried running the executable on this win 7 64 machine, but got
nothing at all.
Sorry if this has already been discussed on list, but is there a
trick to getting it to run?
Thanks

Hi,
Not sure how much Jason Allen could help as Entombed was written in C#
.Net where Jeremy's games are all VB 6.
That said, I believe the Jaws API is a standard com component and
there should be some kind of open specification or documentation on it
somewhere. Although, I haven't been able to find it myself. If anyone
has any documentation on the Jaws API I'd like to know as it could
come in handy.

Hi
aproan, I am just wondering, have you had any luck improving jaws
support for your games?
I think if we could play using jaws rather than sapi it would really
improve game play, particularly as its quite hard to get good sapi
voices running under windows 7 64 bit.
this is just a suggestion, but have you tried talking to jason, the
maker of entombed? as he got jaws support working quite well in his
game, though there are one or two issues still with it, but he can
probably tell you how to get support for jaws working properly.
