The reason that it's non-trivial is that it requires a physics engine to
control the ball, and a way to give the player a lot of information at
the same time - number of bricks, position of the paddle, angle and
speed of the ball, etc. Fortunately, I have a great group of blind
gamers that can tell me what works and what doesn't.

Hi.
Awesome! As I said, I've never understood why there haven't been more
attempts to make accessible versions of breakout. From a sound scape
perspective it's not too different from pong, and yet the gameplay is
far more interesting and can have far more potential variations,
especially when you add analogue style control such as the gyro of Ios
devices into the mix.
I'll look forward to that one.
All the best,
Dark.

Actually, breakout is the next game i'm building. Ken Downey gave me
some good audio files that I need to check out. I've been kind of
busy dealing with 12 games in the app store that broke due to changes
in ios9 text-to-speech. Most of that work is done now, so I can get
back on track.

Hi David.
This is exactly why I'm personally waiting to upgrade to Ios 9 until
at least 9.1, so that all the kinks can be worked out.
Personally, I'd most like an accessible version of breakout with the
bat ball and blocks. not only is it an arcade classic which there
are no real accessible versions of (the version on Pcs is a good
game but not imho close enough to the original to really give the
experience), but also it's a game where the gyro for moving the
paddle to bounce your ball would add something to the play.
Still, we'll see what Marty fancies doing. actually I need to play
more of his games and add them to the db, although I confess my mind
hasn't been on games lately.
All the best,
dark.

Hi Dark,
I emailed Marty recently and put forward a couple of suggestions
to him, my first one for an accessible version of Packman and my
second one for a space-invaders type game. I know we have a few of
those already but another clone would be good, since Audio Defence
doesn’t work for now under IOS 9. Marty and I discussed Packman and
he thought it would be good to start with a maze game first before
tackling Packman, to which I agreed. Marty was concerned about how
we would know when we were approaching the ghosts in Packman so I
was explaining “Packman Talks” and how it was played.
Getting back to Audeio Defence, I have reported the problem I am
experiencing under IOS 9 to the developer.

isn't an accessible 1000 miles on the Iphone you might suggest
that one to him to add to the range.

Hi Leo,
I tried “1000 miles” on my iPhone a few months ago but didn’t get
very far with it. You should have been able to just double tap on
a card to select it but the process was more complicated than that.

Hi Gamers,
I am looking for any 1000 miles games for the IPhone that work
with V.O?
I wanted to also about any monopoly games for the IPhone.
It would be preferable if they were free games but if not, I can
do that too.
Not looking for any online games just a computer, but if I can
1000 miles or monopoly online, that would be a bonus.
Thanks,
Leo
