hi michael, wow man, this app is just amazing, all these classic beeps, and all the games we can now play on the go. i think that the ios devices still need many many more games for the blind, i know,it's easy to say and not do anything,but i'm not a programmer, and now considering that there are 6 games in the pack,even including monopoly! and all for free,this is just unbelievable, it made my day. so far i just played casino, i have some suggestions to the screen layout, for example,when it asks for the bets,it could switch you automaticaly to the numbers and instead of having all these simbols it could display only the 9 numbers,for example similar to when you're making a call, and then show the delete/confirm option at the bottom right corner of the screen,i don't know if it's possible though,because i know that it just simulates the dos prompts,it's not a big problem. later on i'll play some of the other games,and if i have any other suggestions i'll tell you here. thanks again. -----Mensagem original----- De: michael barnes <c...@samobile.net> Para: gamers@audyssey.org Data: Quarta, 30 de Novembro de 2011 00:16 Assunto: [Audyssey] The app is finally here!
Hey, Everybody. The app is in the app store and the great thing about the app IT IS FREE! The name of the app is call De Steno Games and here is the description of the app. This app has six classic text games with sounds and music, and it is fully accessible with Voice Over. The six games were originally developed by Richard L. De Steno, and were very popular with people who were blind or had low vision back in the 90's. A blind person would use a screen reader, which is a piece of software that allowed a person who was blind or had low vision to play these games just like a sighted person. Here is a description of the six games. 1. Atlantic City Blackjack: This game of blackjack is played by the rules set by the NJ Casino Commission. 2: Casino: This game has a selection of four games which are blackjack, slot machine, flash poker, and minibaccart. 3. Dodge City Desperados: You are the sheriff of the wild west town of Dodge City. Your mission, take out the Desperado Brothers before they take you out. 4. Destination Mars: In this game you will be taking a 35 million mile trip from the Earth to Mars, but it won't be easy. You will encounter different obstacles on this journey. Good luck space pilot 5.
