Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker As in post 24, are we suggesting an embosser, or also a braille display?  Likely a braille display would not suffice.  Brings up some other questions:  In general, how many peple interested in this tool have access to a braille embosser?  How much do they

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker Hi there,I'm also interested in your tool. It would be useful to have auditory feedback but it would be neat to be able to send images to a braille embosser that does tactile graphics as well. That would allow me to check the layout of things. URL:

Re: An accessible graphics maker Thank you, magurp244, your BrushTone looks very impressive and I do not wish to duplicate such a useful asset.  It might however prove that my idea above compliments your more sophisticated tool.  For example a user who is able to visualize my 10 by 10 grid

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker @20, I was thinking you could do some kind of controller model. You'd need a controller with force feedback (and if that fails, you could just use a sound), but if we could apply auditory feedback to the image, the user could move around the image and

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker As stated Ethin, I am currently thinking the input as a text file.  The upside to this, is that the user will not have to be a programmer, any amendments are easily edited, and it is doable in terms of my time.  Would like to hear your ideas. URL: https

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker Just to clarify a couple of things, this is not a substitute for a programming language.  It is simply a method of turning an imaginary plot on a grid into a graphic.  Yes, scaling will certainly be there, but there will be no audio feedback from the

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker It does sound like a great project. It should be open sourced... we could do so much with that. We could make it possible for blind people to create graphics of all kind, whether they be static ones like GIFFs or ones you'd use in a game. URL:

Re: An accessible graphics maker Hi.Sounds like an awesome project. However, I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it, but I'll at leased give it a try. It might be difficult for me to think about a picture or logo I wanna make. But it would be cool if I can make anythin

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker I meant like static BMPs and things like that. I've heard that using those can cause... interesting but unwanted side effects. But I'm no master of graphics programming, I've just started investigating OpenGL since Vulkan is too new right now

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker Would it be possible to have this translate graphics you make into something like OpenGL/Vulkan shaders? Every mainstream game almost never uses static imagery because it can rip and tare (if I understand things correctly) and instead use matrices, shaders

Re: An accessible graphics maker Hello folks! Loved the idea, hope we'll be able to make more accessible games using something like this, I mean, both for blind and sighted players alike, even being simple images.Best regards, Haramir. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/4

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker I did something like this for JS circa 2007, but mostly just to simplify drawing scripts, rather than to create images directly. For that, I'd just write a Java program to do it. So this is probably more convenient. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net

Re: An accessible graphics maker

Re: An accessible graphics maker Almost certainly, depending on what you want.  It is possible for me to add in shapes other than polygons and perhaps also font.  The green tavern Inn in dragon village actually has the name in tiny font for the sign on the building.  Though these extras

An accessible graphics maker

An accessible graphics maker I have code for turning a simple text file into a simple graphic.  In my prototype, the user can edit a text file and output an image file for later use in a project.All my graphics in dragon village were created with this technique.  The output tends to be
