[Audyssey] Silversword question
Hi, I just tried the Silversword game. It seems to be fairly accessible, but I can't read the manual. When I click on settings and then on help I only get a blank screen with three buttons. One of these buttons is for printing the manual and I don't really understand what the other two should do, but no matter which button I click I can't find any text there. Any help is appreciated, this actually looks like a great game, but I have to get some help on it first. :-) Best regards Sarah --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

If memory serves me correctly, one of those unlabeled buttons will allow you to email the pdf file to yourself as an attachment. If you have email set up on your iOS device, you can open the attachment and read it in iBooks. Allison On 12/13/2011 1:26 PM, michael barnes wrote: Hey, Sara.

Hi Michael, I found a Silversword_help.pdf file but it is graphic and needs an OCR package to convert it to readable text. I wrote to Mario and maybe he will put out a RTF or TXT version. Here is the section about the interface of the game that I used a OCR on, but there may be scanning errors: About the mechanics Silversword is a game in the genre of The Bards Tale. This means, it tries to simulate a roleplaying session like you might know from Dungeons Dragons. you control a group (your "party') of up to seven members. The first four slots are melee slots, meaning that this is the front line when facing enemies. The last three slots are the members in the second row, they have to use ranged weapons, special items or magic spells to participate in combat. Starting the game After having installed and started the game,you are taken to the Ruin Camp. In the Ruin Camp,you can find new heroes to join you on your adventure. It might happen that your party is already filled with some brave fellows, but you can of course create your own characters.

We will call it "Link" from now on. you can move by touching the view (upper left side of the screen) on its upper half, or at its sides. But it is more elegant to use the cross-hair panel, which you can activate by touching the cross-hair symbol on the upper right side of your screen. Change the position of the cross-hair panel by touching and dragging the symbol. you go into character view by simply touching a character new in your party roster, which fills up the lower half of your screen. To change order or to rename or discard a character, see the section "Managing your party". By touching the Spell Effects area,you can get an overview of active spell effects that are summoned by your party members. It is possible to end an effect before it fades by itself -just touch the entry and confirm. The party roster The lower half of the screen is reserved for your party members. you can form a party of up to seven characters.

Re: [Audyssey] Silversword question
Hey, I just had a great thought! On the silversword website there is a forum that you can join. One of the forum topic is features you would like to see added to the game. It would be a great thing if all of us who like the game to get on the forum so the developer and other blind gamers who are not on the list can read our ideas for the game. I am already a member of the forum. So please come and join me to make the game more accessible for all of us. The more that Mario see that blind gamers besides me is playing the game it will show the importance of accessibility for Silversword.

Re: [Audyssey] Silversword question
Hi Mike. I'm not sure what the button to the left of cast spell is. However, the way I generally find out info about unlabeled buttons is just to double tap them and see what happens. Generally, you're not going to break anything by doing that. As for visuals, I'm not sure if there are any as I'm also totally blind. The game was initially designed for sighted people though, so I imagine there would be pictures or artwork of some sort. Allison On 12/13/2011 5:11 PM, michael barnes wrote: Hey, Allison.
