Hi Nick, Welcome to the list, and I only say that because its normal and not because I'm a moderator. However, I wish to make a suggestion. How about implementing sounds for the game so that people can play without using a Braille display: since I've never owned one and have no plans to do so in

Dark, All I can say is such a braille display would rock. I know one of the things I like about the GMA Engine is you can braille maps of the levels in Shades of Doom, Packman Talks, etc to get an idea of how the level is laid out. Plus figure out where you are and where you've been. I'd love to h

Hi Dark, Well, as with everything else in life I think how useful a braille display is depends on what a person uses it for. I've found plenty of times where a braille display comes in handy. Especially, when it comes to proofreading my e-mails, writing code, or just reading an e-book rather than

Hi Ryan, Agreed. I didn't mean to indicate that this shouldn't be tried. I merely wanted to point out that not everyone has a braille display and the tendency has been up until now to focus on audio output. That said, I've been thinking about writing some text based games myself where I could use
