Using gestures to cast spells makes me wonder if a version of the game could
be made to be used on an iPhone. Shaking the phone, tilting in any of the 4
directions left, right, forward or backward, moving your finger in
particular patterns to perform functions, and other stuff like that are used
on the touch sensitive screen, and, as a new and ongoing learning experience
is showing me, certainly can be performed by a blind person. I would think
this would take an awful lot of work by the developer, but it would be cool
for the gamer.

Hi Thomas,
I think I announced that the next version of the Sarah game would have
mouse support.
Unfortunately, just as it's current joy stick support, the mouse can only
use existing keyboard commands.
For example the forward, backwards and turning movement keys.
The left mouse button pulls up the spell menu and you can move thru it
with the mouse and click on the right mouse button to cast the spell.
I was hoping that David could add more flexible mouse control, but that
would require the game engine to record what the mouse was doing and
compare the results in a group of variables.
I do like playing the wand game in,
Brian Bors' Three mouse driven games.
Gestures.
You are attacked by ogres and imps and must combat them with two spells.
These spells are cast by performing various gestures, and variations of
these gestures using your mouse.
including a game tutorial that will let you practice the spells.
I also know of
Jeremy Kaldobsky's Aprone's Daytona and the Book of gold .
The metallic sounds are made as I move the mouse into different shapes.
What is cool is that each direction you move makes a different noise so
someone sitting beside you can actually tell which shape you drew once
they've been exposed to the game for a bit!
The voice on the right is my character reading up to 3 shapes from the
spell book that I must draw next. The voice to the left is just
encouragement or warning depending on how fast and accurate I currently
am.
Each successful shape, in the right order, conjures more [gold] coins that
can be heard falling to the table. Each successful shape makes its own
sound as it casts and a central voice announces its name.
