Oof!! You're right, that would be a challenge. Sorry to say, though, I haven't heard of any game remotely similar unless you accept being an airplane pilot or truck driver instead. On Feb 20, 2024 1:36 PM, Gene Warner wrote: > > That version is probably in some flavor of C which I don't know. B

That version is probably in some flavor of C which I don't know. But thanks for that anyway. I realise that even the original version isn't going to be screen reader friendly simply because of that map. The original version comes closest to being screen reader friendly because it was turn base

If what you're looking for is source, you can probably use the bsdgames package as a starting point: https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames However, I think an end product would need to rely on audio: as with many such games, it uses an ASCII map. The issue here is that the map is rather large an

It looks like I'm going to be spending some time at our local library. I first learned about this game in a magazine article that had a BASIC language listing of the first version. From there the idea went commercial. If I can find that article, I could use that as a launching point to make m

There's definitely a version in the bsdgames package for Linux that was brought up here a while ago, but I don't believe that would be playable with a screen reader. On 2/20/2024 10:50, Heather Seaman wrote: Although I have heard of games where you can fly planes, such as Eurofly, and drive

Although I have heard of games where you can fly planes, such as Eurofly, and drive trucks, I haven't heard of any game on any platform that allows you to play as the air traffic controller. If the original ATC text-based game was a dos game, you might be able to run it using something like DOSB

Thanks for the suggestion but a flight simulator is on the wrong side of the radio. And I already looked at audiogames.net and they had nothing though I have no idea how long its been since their database has seen any maintenance or any new games added to it Gene... - Original Message

Hi there is a game where you can fly a plane I think it is flight simulator that is accessible using jaws. I am not shure of others. Maybe try audiogames.net there are a lot of different audio games there that might help. I hope that helps. From Mich. -Original Message- From: blind-game

Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a great 2024 so! Before I lost my vision one of my favorite games was Tracon, a quite realistic air traffic control simulation, and the original which was text based and simply called ATC. I was wondering, is there a blind accessable air traffic control
