Hello Computer Sports Gamers!fans. I am going to begin a new feature on the gamer listcalled Game shots. This will allow you to learn about the Strat-o-Matic games. I will show a screen shot then give detail information what your text reader isreading. As this time the SOM games have Jaws configurations to make the games accessible.
With new features being add to the different sport games I needed a nice linear way to update my help files and audio instructions in the http://www.playball.ws Strat Instructional Jukebox. So, by working on this I will take this chance to kill two birds with two stnes. Hmm? Please don't tell any don't be cruel to animals organizations. Let's get started! Below is a the first screen that appears in the Strat Baseball Game. graphic 976 Manager Leagues Teams Players 1939 HRFL 1939 Free Agents Appling, Luke 1940 HRFL 1940 Boston AL Clift, Harlond 2006 Multi-Cards Boston NL Dietrich, Bill 2006 Major Leagues Brooklyn Eaves, Vallie 2006 Non-Carded Players Chicago AL Garms, Debs Chicago NL Gleeson, Jim Cincinnati Grove, Orval Cleveland Hallett, Jack Detroit Heffner, Don New York AL Hemsley, Rollie New York NL Jacobs, Bucky Philadelphia Kennedy, Bob Pittsburgh Knickerbocker, Bill St. Louis Knott, Jack Washington Kolloway, Don Kreevich, Mike Kuhel, Joe Lee, Thornton Lyons, Ted Marty, Joe McNair, Eric Mulcahy, Hugh Rigney, Johnny Rosenthal, Larry BATTER AB DO TR HR RBI AVG BB SO SB CS OB% SL% OB+SL L.Appling 651 31 15 0 91 .348 79 40 3 6 .420 .442 .862 101% 38 3 1 0 4 .447 2 2 1 1 .475 .579 1.054 YEAR TM PWR B BAL Vsl BNT H&R STL RUN DP CLAv FIELDING OF CA 1940 CHA W/W R E 41% A B C 14 40 .359 SS2 e37 ************* AS we see the first item is the title bar. DuringGame Shots the Menu bar is not shown. For some reason the Virtualize the window command does not pick up the menu bar. Next, we see there are three lists. A League list, a Team and player list. Clicking on a League allows you to then click on a certain team. ONce a team has been selected you can then click on a player. What ever list has focus information is displayed at the bottom of the screen. In this game shot I have clicked on 1940:Chicag AL:Luke Appling. The display area for a player is broken down into two parts Player stats and ratings. I have created a nice little Jaws script to allow one to able to check out players percific stat tracker. This works like this you move the Jaws cursor over a certain item on the players stat or rating. Then using the Insert+down arrow key, the PC cursor will then move down the list say the name of the player and then reads the word under Jaws. So if you wanted to know how many doubles each player has on a team this Hot key is very useful. This Hot Key is used throught the game and is one of my Jaws scripting or Framing to help make this and other Strat games accessbile, playable and fun. To find out more on my work with the Strat games and how you can pickup a Demo baseball game swing on over to http://www.playball.ws Next Time on Game Shots we take a peep at the Lineup screen to set your line ups.
