Re: [Audyssey] accessible games for the Mac and voice over?
Somebody told me about Second Life, which is a virtual game on the internet. Does anybody know how accessible that is? Laurel and Stockard On 5/3/12, Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Laurel, Well, the only way to know for sure is to buy them and try them, but I can say 99% of the time they won't be accessible. Not only do you have to worry about the fact that things like the menus etc won't talk most of the games out there for Mac are emulated. That is that they are run through a specific Windows game emulator like Cider which doesn't communicate onscreen information to VoiceOver. This pretty much insures the fact that even if the display was presenting straight text you couldn't read it with VoiceOver because Cider like all emulators doesn't expose the onscreen information to the accessibility APIs. Plus keep in mind mainstream gaming is highly graphical in the first place. Most first person, third person, and strategy games are inaccessible because they require sighted assistance in aiming weapons, moving around the game world, and so on. So you are pretty much out of luck if you are thinking of going down the mainstream gaming route. Cheers!

[Audyssey] learning how to write games
Hey, I have a question for those of you who write games and all. How did you learn how to write the games that you have created? For example, how did you learn the computer coding languages you needed, and how to build your game from an idea to an actual game. Was there a course you took, or something online or an accessible book you read that helped you? I have several ideas I'd love to work on, but I really don't even know where to begin. /smiles/ Laurel and Stockard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for an accessible version of risk
hm, maybe this is a dumb thought or question, but I wonder if a blind game developer could ever contact the company and get permission to make a braille version or risk, or an accessible online version. Think about it, there's braille monopoly out there that you have to pay for. Also, the company wouldn't be losing alot by giving somebody permission to develop accessible risk for us, either via braille or on the computer. We (us blind gamers) are not a relatively large community compared to the population as a whole, therefore as a whole compared to the rest of the world, the demand for an accessible risk isn't great. I know it's a big deal for us, but sighted people could care less. So I wonder if the company that sells risk would ever allow a blind game developer to create a version of accessible risk. I personally would even be willing to pay the standard selling price, $30 or whatever it is for a normal risk board, if I could have an accessible version of my favorite game. Just like I'd be willing to pay for an accessible version of monopoly, which thanks to Jim Kitchens and rs games we have for free. Anyway, just a thought, how plosible do I even sound? I don't know much about copyright laws or permission or anything, but is this totally out of the realm of possibilities guys?

Re: [Audyssey] looking for an accessible version of risk
Thanks, I'll check it out. You know, I just thought of something. Somebody could create a game like risk, but not named risk, and could even have countries. There are 293 or so countries in the world, so you could even use real place names but they wouldn't necessarily match up with risk or infringe on risk's copyrights. You could have like somebody else suggested, knights charriots and horses or some other combination and you could have a similar set of mission cards. Anyway, just a thought.

[Audyssey] board game writing question - programing language etc
Hey all, With our discussions about risk, monopoly and other board or classic card games, it brings up another question for me. I wanna know, what programing languages or codes do most people use when writing something like monopoly. If I were going to write a card game, like Texas Hold Em or War or something, or a board game like Risk or Monopoly, which codes or programing languages would be the easiest and most affective to use.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for an accessible version of risk
Y'all, let me tell ya. I have no developing knowledge and don't know how to write games at all. I do know how to play risk, and I love it. So if any of you developers would be willing to make an accessible risk version, I would be totally happy to help you in any way that I could. I would be happy to help you by telling you the rules, how you play etc. I could test the game for you and help you in that way, basically, I'm willing to do anything to help. I just want an accessible version of my favorite game in the world and I would be oh so happy if somebody would make one for me, and I'd be happy to help in any way I can. I'd even be willing to skype somebody or something if they wanted to talk in real time not just by email in order to work on making the game. I'm desperate lol. Laurel and Stockard P.S. maybe I can learn something about game building in the process as I have ideas for games and just don't know how to make them.

As I understood, there are 72 cards in total, one for each country, 2 jokers and 28 missions. But are unused missions always in the deck ? It looks strange... because you could guess what is your opponents' mission. so 28 cards may be unclear. * Battle rules kept me in doubt: they first say that you can't send more than 3 attackers against 2 defenders, and further they say that you can send any attackers as you wish and continue until a region is totally defeated. I must have missed something. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] looking for an accessible version of risk
Hi all, Are you guys familiar with the board game Risk? It's my favorite game, aside from monopoly. I can't find an accessible version of the game anywhere and was wondering if somebody would help me try to find one. I'm interested in either finding an online version, one for a windows operating system, or a version that works on the iPhone or iPad running IOS5. If anybody knows of a version available, free or paid, or knows of some one who would be interested/or is interested in developing an accessible version of that game I would love any info you could give me.

[Audyssey] Does anybody use the mIRC chatting client, related to IRC?
Hi all, I'm wondering if anybody uses mIRC. It's a chatting client that uses the IRC chatting program. This is real popular among gamers and stuff, and with one of the online games I'm playing (cyber nations) they use it alot. I use JAWS Screen reader version 11, and will soon update to version 13. If any of you use mIRC in combination with JAWS, could you please give me some pointers on how I can make mIRC work well with JAWS? I know you can configure the mIRC scripts to perform certain tasks and do things, but I'm just not sure how to make it work with JAWS. Any advice/help would be appreciated. I realize this is not game specific, but I felt that it was game related enough for me to ask on here. Sorry if I'm off topic at all, just figured somebody on here could help me out. /smiles/ Laurel and Stockard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi everybody, I need some help with something, and even though this isn't exactly game specific, it's still game related and you all could probably help me.

I know that the MIRC program can be configured for better JAWS use, but I'm not sure how. Can any of you all help me out? I'm using JAWS version 12 and the latest MIRC version from www.mirc.com. Any help/suggestions on how I can better configurate JAWS to work with this would be much appreciated. I just need pointers in the right direction as I'm not even sure where to begin. /smiles/ Thanks all, Laurel and Stockard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Blind Gamers Being Taken Seriously?
I love this. What you've said is a very valid and good point. I think for me as a beginner in learning how game developing works, I've always just been used to the playing games side, and I don't know much of the computer developing jargon for the game devs. One of my biggest challenges is learning how to explain to a game dev why I can't play their game, or use their iPhone app, and explaining how they can change things to make it more accessible. Often times I find that game/app developers are willing to lend me an ear and learn how to make things accessible, but I don't know how to best explain to them the steps they need to take in gaming terms. I hope that as I continue to learn how all the gaming stuff works and the game/app terminology, that I will be better at this.

Re: [Audyssey] kitchensinc games - installation question
ok, cool thanks. So you all are saying that basically if I hit the application key it will show me the run as administrator option. Should I select the file first and then find the run as admin option when it asks me if I wanna run, save or cancel? Or should I find run as admin before I even hit enter. And the other option is if I go to my control pannel and disable the user account control permission thingy.

Should I select the file first and then find the run as admin option when it asks me if I wanna run, save or cancel? Or should I find run as admin before I even hit enter. And the other option is if I go to my control pannel and disable the user account control permission thingy.

Re: [Audyssey] kitchensinc games - installation question
ok, I disabled the uac thingy, so it unzips fine and all. I still can't figure out how to pull up the applications key to find the run as admin option, lol this is so confusing but I'm gonna try and figure this out. Do any of you guys have like skype or msn messenger? Maybe I can get one of y'all to add me and talk me through the process. lol /smiley face/ I bet once I do it once, I'll get what the heck I'm doing. lol On 11/22/11, Bryan Peterson bpeterson2...@cableone.net wrote: You need to just be on the file.

[Audyssey] intro and questions
Hello all, My name is Laurel and I just became a member of this list. I want to tame a moment and introduce myself to you all. I also have a few questions for you all. I am from Dallas Texas and am a third year university student. I study French and Russian and love learning languages! I use JAWS screen reader along with an iPhone. I have a yellow lab female guide dog from Guide Dogs for the Blind named Stockard. I am interested in learning to write and create text based games as well as iPhone applications and other accessible games for blind people. This leads me to my questions. /smiles/ I know that in order to write apps and games I need to learn a computer language so that I can code properly. I also know that there are a tun of computer programs out there that can help you write and design your games and apps. My first question is what are the computer programs out there that are the most JAWS accessible? I am having a hard time deciding whether I should try to use c++, java or what because I don't know what is good with JAWS. My second question is, I'm wondering if any of you would be willing to menter me some. Like I said, I'm just learning how to do this and I'm still learning the different computer languages used to create games/apps. So would somebody be willing to menter me and help me learn how to do this? Basically, I need somebody to help me get started and point me in the right direction as far as resources and helping me choose which programs to use, how to go about creating a game etc. Thanks, Laurel and Stockard --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] hello
Hello all, My name is Laurel. I am a college student in Texas and I have a yellow lab guide, female named Stockard, from Guide Dogs for the Blind. I've recently gotten in to gaming, because I'm only now discovering the good variety of accessible games out there. I have two questions for all of you. 1, I'm interested in learning the computer language necessary to write a game. I study French and Russian, so learning codes and such is not hard for me. Would anybody be willing to kind of menter me and help me sort of learn how to get started? I'm not even sure which programs I can use that are compatible with my JAWS screen reader. 2, My favorite game in the world is Monopoly. I have the RS Games version of this. If any of y'all know where I can get other versions of this, please let me know! I also play cyber nations, which is a text based internet browser game. www.cybernations.net. My favorite games are like monopoly, risk, any kind of battle/war game, and I love text based games too. Especially like nation building games and empire games. What are some of the games, free or paid, that you all would recommend? I also love sports, but I've never found an accessible sports game like football, so if y'all know of any, let me know!! If you would be willing maybe to menter me and teach me some about computer language and game writing, please email me privately. Thanks all! Have a great day!
