don't get me wrong, I do not mind if anyone will include mouse support as an
option, but just would not want to see it as the only option to play a game.
if people can choose then it is okay, as everyone can play according to
their personal preference.

Subject: [Audyssey] The fun little mouse, was:: MOTA Mouse Support
Although most sighted games use the mouse for aiming, that shouldn't
preclude us from using it for other purposes. I realize not a lot of you
have used the mouse to play games, given the very few available, but I can
tell you, we're missing out on a very good input device for the blind, and
I really don't understand why the resistance.
Is it just because it is something different that folks haven't done
before? Are folks afraid they can't learn to use it?
What is the thinking out there? I for one hate playing exclusively with
the keyboard, there is just no subtlety of control there, but with the
mouse you have an entirely new dimension of control if it is programmed
right.
For instance, I am still kicking around the idea of doing a mouse driven
golf game. Imagine how cool it would be to have control of your golf club
speed depending on how fast you moved the mouse. It would feel a lot more
like actually playing golf instead of trying to hit a moving target with a
dart, as is the case with a keyboard setup. No slam meant to Jim's golf
game here, obviously what he has created has been accepted and played by
throngs of accessible gamers and my hats off to him for providing it for
free, and coming up with an interface that works very well.
But my point is, we're limiting ourselves for no good reason here, and I
wish someone would explain to me why it is taking so long to get
accessible gamers to accept the mouse as a primary input device.
I'm not trying to come down on anyones opinions here, but when I see
folks not taking advantage of something that is capable of improving
things on any level, I just have to scratch my head and wonder why.
Thoughts?
Thanks for reading my diatribe here, ehahah,
Che
