See this is why a lot of programmers don't even want to touch games
for the blind. The blind on this list pick them apart, moan and grown
until the programmers changes it to meet there gripes.
Well what about the programmer? They put the game out there for you
to play. It is not like there are a lot of games for the blind. Who
cares what kind of denomination the game uses.The numbers are still
the same and mean the same in the game. A game should be put out
without blind community influence or maybe those bitching would like
to do the programming? I can understand fixing bugs, but changing the
game to fit your petty egos?

I disagree completely Ryan, broccoli is lovely, especially lightly crisped :D.
seriously, I actually would've preferd tones. My problem in Change
reaction as I said isn't anything particularly against american
things, indeed I'm quite happy to play poker in dollars for
instance, it's just that the game is based on physical coins. You
hear the sound of the coins fall, you here the amounts of the coins
explode etc, you gain money by what you blow up etc.
that all seems implicit on knowing and being familiar in a far more
physical sense with the actual coins, sort of the idea that the
computer game of change reaction is a similation of what you could
do with lots of piles of coins, several bombs and a teleporting machine :D.
Seriously, that is really my problem, it is as if the game were
being played with totally abstract things with no physical meaning,
and if that is the case, I'd prefer something more logical and
consistant than these coins It that I have never seen.
Imagine for example that I created a game similar to jim kitchin's
skunk, called Blackpool tower. In this game, you rolled the dice to
move higher and higher up the tower, and the object was to get as
high as possible and then stick, sinse if you rolled too high you'd fall off.
now, everyone could play this in the abstract, however for myself
and anyone else who has been to blackpool, and has up the tower,
which is close to 200 feet tall, this would have more of a meaning,
as would the sound effects used for the game, seaside organs,
perhaps the sounds of waves etc, sinse blackpool is a
popular resort town over here.
thus the game would have far more immediacy for people with that
experience, than for everyone else, where as if I replaced blackpool
tower with say a fantasy mage's tower, with sounds of bats, evil
spells etc, everyone has the same ability to imagine it for themselves.
#this is the difference for me, a level of physical experience
immediate to the game.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
