Quentin,

Thanks for making this possible.  The playroom is a blast, and I enjoy
all the ways you've tried to make it interesting and kept expanding in
new directions.  Excellent work, and thank you and all your
assistants.  Take care,

[blind-gamers] 10 years of playroom!

[QuentinC]

Hello all,

I have released this evening a new program to play card games online in 
an accessible way.
I have called this program the playroom. Yes, that's a room where you 
can play games, hance this very simplistic name.


Ten years ago, smart was the one who could predict that the above 
innocuous lines would launch a small revolution in the world of 
accessible gaming.
In any case, if you told me so at that time, I would have found you 
completely crazy.
Think a little, just a tiny card game! I belief I would draw interest of 
no more than a couple casual players. I was far from imaginating that it 
would go to that huge extent, and even less that it would be so fast!


I think I shouldn't go red about the term revolution: beyond a simple 
game, the playroom has become a true city.
A city with people coming in and going away. A city with those who live 
there, and those who only pass or stay for a while.
A city with its good stories, its less good as well. But a city who 
live, day and night.


Today, the playroom is ten years old!

If this big city has been able to flourish, that's because of everyone.
Wheter you have contributed to this great adventure in a way or another, 
be it as an administrator, helper, translator, quiz validator or writer, 
we would like to say you a great thank you for your support, or simply 
for your faithfulness presence. Without you, the playroom wouldn't be 
anything.
WE also need to warmly thank all players, yes, you! You have carried on 
games one after the other. You have shared good times and fun laughs. 
You have created or participated to tournaments. You made us be known, 
to your near friends as well as everywhere around the world, without 
ever the need for us to praise or advertise. You have all built up this 
platform together and keep making it live. Really, you deserve a great 
thank you king size!


This message is perhaps the occasion for those who hardly or never come 
to our forum to express yourself about what you liked, what you liked 
less, what you imagine for the future of this universe, or maybe to 
share a few small funny anecdotes.
Our forum stays the privileged way of communicating, but we can 
certainly make a small exception for a while in order to celebrate this 
decade, can't we?


We will of course have the occasion to share this soon around a virtual 
table.
Given that our respective personal lives are much more full than in 
2010, no date hasn't yet been fixed for a special event. Be sure that 
there will soon be one, though. We must celebrate it!


What's the future is going to be on our beloved platform?
At short term, a small surprise. At the moment, I can only tell you that 
ducks are implied (No no, don't call ASPCA, I only talk about ducks for 
bath, obviously!)
At middle term, a 3.0 client entirely made from scratch, and the 
concretisation, I hope, of what I started five years ago. No, I haven't 
forgotten, I only took bad directions and I lose my way. It can happen 
to anyone!
And at long term, I don't know. Maybe one day there will be a client for 
Mac, for iOS, a nicer interface for sighted people, or maybe none of all 
these. Nobody knows. Maybe we will need to wear a mask to come in the 
playroom, who knows?
Smart is the one who know where we are going to be in 2030, especially 
with the general uncertainty and the deep questionnings we are all 
living right now. What is sure, though, is that we will continue to do 
our maximum to preserve what have made the playroom a success until now. 
The best shouldn't change!

Let's talk about it again in ten years?

Thank you very much everybody, and long live the playroom!
Happy birthday!

Re: [blind-gamers] swamp error

Well it still isn't working, it doesn't matter where I extract the 2 
parts of swamp and the patch, i'm still getting the same error about the 
maps being wrong.

Hi I've just downloaded the latest version of swamp but am
getting an error when trying to play.  I'm being told I don't
have the right maps, even though I coppied over everything
from the patch as normal and the maps folder is all there. 
Not sure how to resolve this error, has anyone else had this
problem?  Thanks from Lori.

Re: [blind-gamers] swamp error

[Yusuf Osman]

I’d rename that folder swamp.old and unzip both updates to a completely new 
Swamp folder, then unzip the patch to the same folder. That’s what I did and 
I’m not having any issues.
