It depends if its a comercial game or not. I guess if you left it in source format bgt for mat you could run it. Python could be an option visual studio. Oriol is doing java, its called electron and while it has its issues it seems to  run fine. Sadly yeah the engines. Unreal does work and

Hi. So would you then recommend me using blast studio tool kit or some thing else. Or just code it and then design like in visual studio 2017. Pity there's no accessible game engine, not even unreal is accessible. Any thoughts, ideas. Construct 2 d is accessible with jaws. Thanks.

Hi, a few months ago, stencil was accessible with jaws, but with windows 10 1803, or the new jaws 2018.0.46.24, or maybe need the latest java sdk, stencil is not accessible with jaws, and have to use the ocr function a lot, just to load two sample games, open, save, then run and publish. So, any i

yes my sighted son and I both use windows10. I put exceptions in the windows defender antivirus and now all my favorite stuff runs very happily. I would never go back to windows7 not even if you paid me to do it.

Windows 10 isn't horrible. Its bad, don't get me wrong, but you can bludgeon it into a perfectly usable state. A good implicit deny firewall is a must. -- From: "Damien Garwood" Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2018 8:39 To: Subject: Re: [blind-gamers] Comi

Hi Damien. Just as someone who used Xp for a very long time and only switched when it was inconvenient, I can say I've got on with windows 10 fairly well, since between using classic shell to layout the interface as i'd prefer, and C cleaner to get rid of anything I@m not interested in I've f

Hi, Honestly, that isn't a smart idea. I didn't have an antivirus for about a year, in between the downfall of Avast's accessibility and finding out about MSSE, and I must have obtained about a dozen viruses. Unfortunately, inaccurate though they are, they're our only active safety net. Especia

Hi, To be honest, I thought it targeted the fact that BGT executables can have data tacked onto the end of them. Then again, I guess this is only the same as how installers and self-extracting archive files would work, so I don't know. Generally, I use many an unsigned program with no issues, a

Hi, Right. But then what if you get a real virus in one of those folders? Basically, you're screwed. My motto: Never, ever, use, exceptions. They're probably the very reason, or at least one of them, why Windows 10 is 100% paranoid about security now. Cheers, Damien. On 19/05/2018 10:11 PM, J
