For quite a while I have been thinking of trying my hand at some

I really like the single letter navigation/items idea. I also like the
ability to either pick a screen reader to provide the output, or the
Sapi/dispatcher for the output. I also think that availability of a game
on a cell phone, specifically the iPhone would be very cool!

Hi Lori,
It is certainly possible. Of course I wouldn't spend a lot of money on
sounds and music like I would on a production like MOTA because these
are suppose to be free casual games. However, to get back to the
point, yeah, they could have some sounds/music.
All I'd have to do is use a cross-

Hi,
Well, since I am not planning on using any platform specific API for
handling keyboards I probably won't have access to the arrow keys,
page up/down, home and end keys, etc because those require specific
scan codes. If I want to get access to those keys I'd have to use SDL,
DirectInput, or som
HI Thomas and all.
Oh yes I am familiar with gnome and am currently working on getting a spare
box up and running with vinux at the moment. The learning curve I was
referring to mainly has to do with trying to get the system up and going and
maintaining it which one can do at least somewhat easil

They wouldn't need to be much.

programs like arena.
or fdisk thats how some of the old stuff was done if you wanted to be

Just download it from my games pack on braillesoft.net and install it to a

Hi Lisa,
I don't think that would be a problem. Just asign it to the question
mark and have it bring up some kind of help system.
Cheers!

Hi Lisa,
Well, I certainly haven't forgotten about the deaf blind gamers.
