could you explain this?
surely, if you say that the man was condemned to death, then what would be
the point in setting up a room with some dead lions in it?

 Hi,
 I didn't think this one was all that hard but you really had to listen
 carefully. For those who do not want to know the correct answer yet now is
 the time to go to another email.

 The correct answer is:

 The room with the lions. As it was pointed out the lions would be dead
 after
 not eating for three years.

 Congratulations to all those who guessed it correctly.

  Hi,
  I have 3 new trivia questions to post and see if you can figur them out.
 I
 will post them one at a time. Here is question 1.

  A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms.
 The first is full of
  raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the
 third is full of lions that
  haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

  I will post the answer in a couple of days if no one guesses it, but I
 seriously doubt it will go unsolved.

Well, I would have said a newspaper but you said red (spelled R E D) rather
than read (R E A D). Here's a similar one: what is black and white and red

Hi,
Here is question 2.

What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw
it away?

I will post the answer in a couple of days if no one guesses it, but I
seriously doubt it will go unsolved.

Re: [Audyssey] Forcing accessibility was: deal or no deal

2007-02-17 Thread Azabat \(Steve Crawford\)
You can't force accessibility, for the reasons mentioned by Che and because
accessible is a subjective term. What is accessible to you may not be
accessible others. I make games for blind and partially sighted people but
they won't work with a Braille display so people who are Deaf-Blind can't
play them.

Game companies respond to the market but gathering a few dozen signatures
isn't going to change anything. Everyone here knows that the market is tiny
and few developers are managing to sell more than a couple of hundred copies
a year. Yet, there are 2 million people registered blind in the UK, I don't
know how many more in the US, and I've just read that India has almost half
a million blind children. The potential market is massive but until game
developers can penetrate this market, it's going to go unnoticed.

As a final thought, APH sell about 20 million dollars' worth of gadgets and
assistive products a year and they obviously reach a lot of people. I found
only one computer game in their catalogue, which was an antiquated word
game. If you could get them, or other distributors, to publicise your games
you would increase market awareness. Once you have a large enough market
you'll find more developers wanting to get involved.

Re: [Audyssey] Screen reader

2007-02-17 Thread Azabat \(Steve Crawford\)
Yeah, and what about the tutorial you promised on writing an Asteroids game?

Sky, there are some free screenreaders out there already. One that got a
pretty good review recently was Thunder, which you can download at
http://www.screenreader.net/index.php?section=Thunder. It's not just for XP
and works for Win2K as well.

Dear Thomas. How is your screen reader project coming along? I think some
time back, you menshened that you were creating a screen reader that would
replace the expensive ones.

 Hi,
 Agreed. The Blade of the Fox would really kick the tarn ratts in to next
 week. I don't remember what exactly I was carrying the last time I took
 them on in my last adventure, but I had no trouble clearing the barn of
 tarn ratts. I cleaned their clock and then some.
 It would be really funny if someone saved that mission until they
 obtained the Hale blade and then took them on. I'd say one roll of
 combat would be enough to squash all six like insects.

Re: [Audyssey] Forcing accessibility was: deal or no deal

2007-02-17 Thread Azabat \(Steve Crawford\)
 You know, there are a few blind people who have never heard of accessible
 games.


My point exactly. If you increase awareness you'll increase the size of the
market and once you've got thousands of people buying games and not just a
few dozen, larger developers will start to take notice. There's no shortage
of blind people. You don't need to create more blind people, you need to
create more blind gamers!

Hi Brandon,
I have acquired the blade of the fox recently and have my weaponry and
weaponry slashing skills up to 50. (the expert level)
Once I got the Blade of the Fox I was able to kill off the knights
quicker. I also like the new special attack system. I have 21 more rounds
with those knights. I just acquired the Ring of the Serpent.
Thank you guys for the help.
AC
