Hi Josh, Well, keep in mind that writing scripts for Window-Eyes is completely different from game programming. I know that Chip is a talented developer, is a skilled developer, but to my knowledge he has never written any audio games so probably is not the right person to ask about game programming. Game programming and general purpose programming are similar but not the same thing.
Also the classes Chip offers for Window-Eyes scripting are for Visual Basic Scripting. While possibly helpful from a general purpose programming point of view that will not help you with game programming accept on a very basic level. You need a programming language better suited to game programming, and will have to learn to use the various APIs for sound, input, speech, etc. BGT, of course, wraps all those things for you, but if you are looking into something a bit more flexable there are other options such as Python.
