Hi all.

The subject pretty much says it all I guess.  I've been desperately seeking 
a VO-accessible Spades game for about 2 years now, and I haven't yet found 
one.  I've emailed developers of the current Spades games out there, and, 
if I received a reply at all, the best response I've received is along the 
lines of, "We have a public forum, and if a suggestion gets enough support, 
we'll definitely consider it."

I know diddly-squat about programming, so I looked at GameSalad.  I figured 
that, since I have been an avid Spades player for years, and since I 
couldn't seem to get help any other way, I'd try it myself, using something 
that did the programming for me, which is what I freely admit that I have 
no idea how to do. *GRIN*  Well, I learned that, currently, it seems that 
GameSalad doesn't support the accessability frameworks of IOS and Android, 
so, unfortunately, I couldn't accomplish what I was trying to do.  However, 
GameSalad has a public forum, and if my suggestion to include the 
accessibility frameworks got enough support...  Well, I'm sure you get the 
idea. LOL

So, is there any developer out there willing to help with developing a 
VO-friendly Spades game?  If you do a search for Spades in this group, 
you'll see that there are quite a few of us that want it.  I myself have 
been playing Spades for over 35 years with my family and friends, and I 
know, love, and have played quite a few variations of the game.  If, as a 
developer, you're concerned that it just won't make enough money as 
compared to the time/effort that you'd have to put into it, please remember 
this.  The card game section of VO-friendly games is small at best.  You 
could develop Spades, Hearts, Pitch (AKA Setback), Phase 10, Skip-Bo, Five 
Crowns (Or, if you'd prefer to use a regular deck of cards, a variation of 
that game called Three Thirteen), and many more.  If you're a developer 
interested in helping to make an accessible version of Spades actually 
happen, please feel free to contact me off-list.  My email address is:

aharri...@icloud.com

Hopefully, there'll be one or two developers out there who are willing to 
help a desperate Spades junkie who's going through major withdrawal out! LOL

Thanks guys!

Amy
