Well, I'm incredibly sorry to report that the webpages which use the Ap are
about as inaccessible as you could imagine!
There is literally no text there Hal can read beyond the status bar at
all, ---- in fact I even tried saving the page as text and got nothing.
I'm certain that Silverlight is installed and running correctly sinse it's
there in the addon's section as an enabled Ie addon, however for all that
Hal can make of it the page which starts the ap might as well be blank, ----
though looking closely I believe I can see some writing there so I know it
is not.
I'm not sure what changes if any could be made to make the thing accessible,
sinse i'm not even sure what silverlight practically does to make pages
textless, but sinse as I said the 7th sense Java Lw program is equally
inaccessible and quite probably impossible to make so, I'll contact Dolphin
on Monday and ask about silverlight and Hal.
There may be experimental maps for it which I don't know about, ---- or
something might be in the works on a Hal upgrade. Sinse I don't know how
silverlight works I can't really say.
It's a shame though that both of the methods of playing lw conveniently are
so absolutely inaccessible, ---- particularly as both have extra options
such as a hard core mode and a scoring system which sound rather fun.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

If this turns out to be accessible, I'll be a happy man indeed.

Hi.
poking around the project.aon forums, I discovered someone has created
an online application to automate playing of lone wolf gamebooks. This
means no more stat and item keeping, looking up numbers on tables,
rolling dice or long drawn out combats.
In fact it would make the Lonewolf series function essentially like the
fighting fantasy project stuff.
For a long while there has been a java application called 7th sense
which does this, however sinse I can't read anything with Hal above the
title, it's a bit of a none starter, ---- especially as while some Java
applications can be incredibly screen reader friendly, when they're not,
they're not! and nothing short of a complete rewrite will fix them.
So, I was intreagued to here about this online version. The only trouble
is it apparently uses the Ms silverlight web addon.
I've heard a couple of bad things about silverlight, ---- but is this
dependent upon the webpage and design, or implicitely part of
silverlight itself.
Being as the Lw books are already html text, I'd theoretically assume
all Silverlight would need to do is handle all the backgrounds stats
etc, ---- but is this wrong?
have other silverlight driven projects proved utterly impossible?
Any information would be appreciated.
Beware the Grue!
