I agree. A table would be easy once you got used to it.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A Question About the Best user Interface
Hi Dark,
That's actually one very good reason to put everything into a table on
one single screen. Almost every screen reader I know of has some sort
of find/search feature that will help someone search for text on the
screen. In NVDA, for example, it is insert+control+f in desktop mode
and capslock+control+f in laptop mode. A dialog comes up, you type in
the text you want, and NVDA will move the review cursor to that spot
on the screen if found.So examining this table of performers wouldn't
be that hard using the screen reader's find or search command. That
feature wouldn't work if it was split up over multiple screens.
Cheers!

Hi Tom.
To be honest you'll always have that problem, whether you use one screen
or
many, since you'll still need to read through all the performers. Other
than
having some sort of search routine in the game where you could type a
name
and have a list of results displayed, I'm not sure if there is a way
around
that.
This is one reason I suggested alphabetisation, since then at least you
can
find who you want a little quicker.
Btw, this is where supernova's ability to find specific text on screen
and
jump straight to it is very useful, since however things are arranged
just
typing say "hulk" when I wanted hulk hogan I could find out what number
he
was fairly quickly, indeed I've done this before in text adventure games
with large tables of information.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
