Hi, I was doing a google search for programming languages when I came across your site. I am blind, and use a screen reader called jaws version 7.0 from www.freedomscientific.com . I'd like to know the following.
1. Does the free version of phrogram compile .exe files? 2. will it work with jaws? if not, could jaws scripts be written to make it work with jaws? 3. Are there keyboard shortcuts for the development environment? which would make it easier for me to use since I don't use the physical mouse. the screen reader can simulate mouse clicks using keys on the numeric keypad. 4. Can audio games be created using the free versions of phrogram? Here's an example of what I want to do. The games I will make have no graphics in them or pictures of any kind. instead they use sound at different points in the stereo field panning from left to right or right to left. Suppose I make a space invaders type game. I want to be able to say. press the control key or f2 to activate a menu, choose machine gun from that menu. the menu uses .wav or .mp3 files to guide the player through it. I press down arrow in the menu and it tells me what choice I'm on by playing a .wav or .mp3 file. so then I choose my weapon from the menu press enter. I hear the sound of a plane panning from left to right from the left side of the stereo to right side. When the sound reaches the middle or a certain point in the stereo field, I can successfully shoot it down. If not, I cannot and enemy lands and I loose some points. Also, can phrogram control the frequency at which a sound is played, stereo, frequency, volume, pitch, panning, optional surround sound, etcetera? So basically all of the audio features of DirectX and phrogram, I am interested in. Is this language as easy to use or harder to learn or use than ruby or pithon?
