Hi, As some of you may already know, the Accessibility Foundation is currently building a tool which should allow blind people to make their own games. Also see:
http://audiogames.net/page.php?pagefile=news_117 http://www.game-accessibility.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=15 We have a quick question concerning menu and key-configuration preferences. Audio Game Maker is likely to feature several menu's and we would like to know what key-configuration you prefer most. The menus will consist of a list of parameters. The goal is that you browse to a parameter and then change that paramater. A parameter could be a certain sound from a list of sounds, or a number from a range of numbers. So changing the parameter will maybe be like browsing through a list as well (although number variables also probably can be filled in using the number keys). Here are some possible options for key-configurations and we are wondering what your preferred configuration would be: Option 1: 1. browse parameter: cursor key up and down 2. change parameter (with the focus on a parameter): cursor key left and right 3. back/menu up: escape Option 2: 1. browse parameter: cursor key up and down 2. select parameter: enter 3. change parameter: cursor key left and right 4. confirm parameter/back: enter 5. back/menu up: escape Option 3: 1. browse parameter: cursor key left and right 2. select parameter: space 3. change parameter: cursor key left and right 4. confirm parameter/back: space 5. back/menu up: enter These are just a couple of suggestions. What keys do you usually use for navigating menus and what key configuration would you prefer. And yes, we know that the best configuration would probably be the one where players would configure the keys themselves (which is an option we are considering). But for now: what is your preferred configuration?
