Re: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games
Would it not be possible for the user to assign dictionary entries into their screenreader so they could have it reed the cards in whatever fashion they want? It looks like the games may be ready to go as is with some combinations of screenreaders and braille displays, as I have kept everything fairly standard in hopes of allowing as many people as possible to use their own screenreaders instead of sapi. For those of you that wish to test the games, please email me off list at c...@blindadrenaline.com and i'll hook you up.

Then the Jaws or Window Eyes user could review the text with his/her braille display. I assume then here with you not being a braille user yourself you would aim for grade one braille support. That is Everything would be spelled out letter for letter, word for word, without any braille contractions. If you want contractions then one of us would have to translate the words into grade 2 contracted braille. For example King of Hearts would look like K+ ( He>ts in grade 2 braille. Che wrote: Hi all, I am almost done with my online card games hearts and hold em poker. I am wanting to include braille output for those dependant on braille displays. Both games can currently use jaws as the speech engine as well as sapi, so it seems it wouldn't be too hard to convert the output to work with braille. I cannot read braille myself, but if anyone is on list that can either test the games with a braille display or let me know where I can get more info on making jaws play nice with braille displays, I'd really appreciate it. And before anyone says it isn't worth the time due to the few folks playing games with braille, sometimes you just got to do the right thing and put yourself in another persons shoes. I know if I were deaf and blind, I would very much appreciate having access to entertainment like this.

Hi Charles, That is as good an explanation as any I've heard for object oriented design. In a way creating the classses is like creating an outline of the program, organizing everything by type or relationship, and then filling in the blanks once you do that.

Re: [Audyssey] Top 25 Web Sites for Gamers who are Blind
Hi John, Muchos Gracias! Ries - Original Message - From: "John Bannick" To: Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2009 12:01 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Top 25 Web Sites for Gamers who are Blind Hi Richard, Thanks for your help with the Audiogames.net entry. I just made the changes. Here are the details (warning, it's lengthy): 1) Platforms: Windows. >>> actually, we include ALL platforms - hence our listings of more experimental games like Demor but also Nintendo DS games like Sound Voyager. Since you are no dummy, it's obvious that we didn't make clear that we cover only Windows and Mac. So I did two things: a) Changed the Methodology section to emphasize this. b) Added Macintosh to your entry. (Sorry I missed that.) 2) AudioGames.net was founded in 2002, not 2003. I got that date from the Wayback Machine at archive.org, where your earliest entry is 2003. I changed the date to what you said. 3) You forgot to mention that - similar to PCS Games - AudioGames.net also links to A BIG LIST of free games that cannot be found anywhere else. This includes three exclusive Playcenter Games: Drive (Sneller), The Curb Game and Sudo-San, as well is NO LESS than 42 ! Indie audio games - all available through The Experimental Audio Games Section (http://www.audiogames.net/playcenter/index_exp.php). We not only link to these games, we also host them! We did indeed say that you offer ".over 300 FREE downloadable accessible games." BTW. Dark bonked me on the head earlier to be sure I said that. I added a reference to your excellent links page and a note about the 42+ Indie audio games. Thanks for that. Didn't mention the hosting because, again, Marketing wants this focused only on PCs and Macs. 4) Categories: Community, Games, Information, Reviews, Help. >>> don't know if this falls under the "information" category, but we are one of the very few websites out there to list (in an annotated fashion) academic-related material about audio games, such as academic papers, articles, etc. (including inaccessible material made accessible). This may not seem like a big deal, but actually our Resources page (http://www.audiogames.net/page.php?pagefile=articles) has ended up in various important publications - something of which I'm personally quite proud of. Done. And you should be! 5) You forgot to mention that we also host MOD downloads to various games (http://audiogames.net/page.php?pagefile=mods) . Damn! I never considered mods. Had to add that one too. Sorry for the oversight. 6) The audio reviews are not ours (may seem like that how you list it), we only provide a list of links to audio reviews on other websites. Thanks. I clarified that. It's a good list of resources. So I think that covers about everything. If you see anything else egregious, please let me know. And thanks again for the corrections.

Re: [Audyssey] what's involved in making a game?
To put it simply, do you create the rules, then make the outline, then fill in the blanks and modify them to follow the rules? --- If guns cause crime, pencils cause misspelled words. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 9:03 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] what's involved in making a game? Hi Shaun, Quote tom I think the first question should be what was the first thing you coded, or the first part of the game minor or major did you do first, ie the menu, the interface, etc. End quote Well, if you are starting a game from scratch you can't really jump in and start programming menus etc. You have to program the more low level portions of the game such as global variables, classes, objects, etc. You really can't do anything until you have created the foundation classes that the program/game runs on. You can't create player's, enemy monsters, or even menus until you work on the classes that stores all the information for the game. Let's explain this in English instead of techno speak. Most modern languages such as C#, Java, VB 2008, etdc are created using a programming methodology called object oriented programming. Objecs are simply people, places, and things that make up your game world. The main character is an object, your weapons might be objects, all enemies might be objects, the game world itself might be an object, the Window that your game plays in is an object, etc. In other words you start with a simple idea, say a person, and then you set about creating that object from the ground up. You can't just create a game player character until you create its class which defines what a character is. Your main character class might have variables/functions which holds the character's location, health, direction facing, whatever. Once you have created the class containing all of the character's essential features then you can then create a new instance of that character called an object. The object therefore is the character we want and its class describes or defines what that character is or can do. Bottom line, you have to start by defining what things are before you can actually create them. I know this probably sounds more complicated than it really is. In fact, object oriented programming is much easier, less complicated, and more programmer friendly than older procedural languages. There are lots and lots of reasons why object oriented programming is all around better, and why object oriented style programming is much more common today then procedural programming. Main reason is everything is arranged by class and object type which allows you to work directly with concepts like a game window, person, place, or thing rather than a bunch of variables and functions tossed together in a source file that may or might not be related.

Re: [Audyssey] Using braille displays with accessible games
HiKen, That makes sense. That also is much easier than translating grade 1 into grade 2 which many new braille users might not know.

Re: [Audyssey] what's involved in making a game?
Hi Shaun, Quote tom I think the first question should be what was the first thing you coded, or the first part of the game minor or major did you do first, ie the menu, the interface, etc. End quote Well, if you are starting a game from scratch you can't really jump in and start programming menus etc. You have to program the more low level portions of the game such as global variables, classes, objects, etc. You really can't do anything until you have created the foundation classes that the program/game runs on. You can't create player's, enemy monsters, or even menus until you work on the classes that stores all the information for the game. Let's explain this in English instead of techno speak. Most modern languages such as C#, Java, VB 2008, etdc are created using a programming methodology called object oriented programming. Objecs are simply people, places, and things that make up your game world. The main character is an object, your weapons might be objects, all enemies might be objects, the game world itself might be an object, the Window that your game plays in is an object, etc. In other words you start with a simple idea, say a person, and then you set about creating that object from the ground up. You can't just create a game player character until you create its class which defines what a character is. Your main character class might have variables/functions which holds the character's location, health, direction facing, whatever. Once you have created the class containing all of the character's essential features then you can then create a new instance of that character called an object. The object therefore is the character we want and its class describes or defines what that character is or can do. Bottom line, you have to start by defining what things are before you can actually create them. I know this probably sounds more complicated than it really is. In fact, object oriented programming is much easier, less complicated, and more programmer friendly than older procedural languages. There are lots and lots of reasons why object oriented programming is all around better, and why object oriented style programming is much more common today then procedural programming. Main reason is everything is arranged by class and object type which allows you to work directly with concepts like a game window, person, place, or thing rather than a bunch of variables and functions tossed together in a source file that may or might not be related. HTH. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
