Howdy,
I'm wondering if there are still any blind players out in the Internet land
that still play these games? They were featured quite prominantly in the early
issues of Audyssey, as were classics like Fallthru.
I've begun trying to play a game of Nethack, and have encountered a few
problems--possibly because it's for Windows console mode, and Window-Eyes has a
great deal of trouble with that sometimes.
The main problem I have is somewhat difficult to describe. But I'll try to do
it below:
Eessentially, blank spaces aren't being represented in the view of the
screen I get with the mouse. While the vast majority of any Nethack screen is
symbols, it is still not all a regular grid shape and thus hard to figure out
sometimes. Areas which are especially difficult include determining when I've
run into a wall versus hit a corridor, and determining which direction
corridors lead.
A somewhat related problem is that when I move the mouse cursor down a line at
a time, this doesn't stick in the same collumn, and thus telling exactly where
things are is extremely difficult, because I have to go across the screen and
try to count. Ugh.
Michael? Anybody more experienced than I? Care to shed some possible light on
how to deal with this?
Thanks,
Zack.
