Hello I'm not sure how many people are in to the simutronics text based games found at www.play.net, but I thought I'd post this in case there are interested people.
Play.net offers several very well-written muds that can be played. The issue is that you can either use their client which is totally inaccessible, or you can use Zmud which by itself is fairly accessible, but will not read anything automatically. The solution of course is to set your screen reader of choice to read the entire screen in hopes that it would read the newest text to appear. This system isn't very relyable and can cause headakes when your screen reader likes to read random words and letters. What can be done? How about a full-featured plugin for zmud that will interface directly with popular screen readers. That is my plan, and I'm making it a reality. I wanted to post to the list to see what interest there would be in this kind of project. The one thing to note however, it won't be a free product, but I will not charge ridiculous amounts of money for it. I'm thinking in the realm of 8 to 10 dollars. to produce plugins for z mud, a developer has to purchase a license to do so. As well as purchasing a copy of zmud itself. Let's just say it's not exactly cheap. If people are against paying, I will just make a simple plug in that does the bare minimum, but I wanted to add things like sound support, line gags, and stuff. And all that will take a fair amount of time. Let me know your thoughts. I'm interested in getting opinions on the concept.
