Hi Zach If I recall Michael did an extensive review in an older Audyssey issue about Nethack. If I recall it said something about changing a file to make the walls and such appear as asky symbols. Not sure if this is the exact answer you need but hope it helps you out.
Happy New Year Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zachary Kline" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 30, 2006 7:31 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Help with Roguelike games 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. _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
