I got to be a beta tester for this game. I like it a lot. For the first time I can play a game while talking to someone on Skype. Just mute the sounds and the only problem is the people asking what all that clicking noise is I'm making as I use the buttons on my first generation Humanware Brailliant32 to manipulate the shapes. I can't hear very well. I use two hearing aids at around the range of 90db level. I can talk on skype to people with good microphones and the right kind of voice and surrounding environment, but I totally can't talk and do anything else with sounds at the same time. No audio games, no email, no text chatting. Not gonna happen. I have the Brailliant around to help me with that, but I find it a little too clunky to use for reading emails and various other activities, so generally the expensive display sits forgotten. That was until Dotris came along. I found that Dotris after I got some practice in became awfully relaxing to play. It's just enough challenge to keep me alert but it's one of those games you can just sit back and enjoy, no need to be on the edge of your seat. I know the big issue with this game is that you need a Braille Display to play it. I'm happy that I have one. I'm hopeful that soon the price of them will drop dramatically, I'd like to see more people having the ability to play games like this. I had a good experience testing it. There didn't seem to be hardly any bugs. If you do have access to a braille display, I surely recommend this one. It's an all new kind of fun. There is a tutorial in the game that walks through the basics of playing Dotris, and the braille display goes through the motions being described. Very neat in my opinion. I would say hopefully some day we can figure out a way to make an audio capability for those who don't have the display, but right yet I can't think of how to do it. I played so much when I first got my hands on it I was actually thinking about playing and picturing shapes in my sleep literally. My highest score is 275, but that was done at a time that the game was a little easier to play than it is now so don't consider failure to kick my butt in the case that is so a bad thing.

I'm Nick from N A Soft and today I'm pleased to announce the release of our first Game for the blind, Dotris. Dotris is a computer game specifically designed for the blind which is unique in the Blind Gaming arena as it is the only game currently on the market that is played using a Braille Display. Dotris is a puzzle type of game where the object is to build a wall of dots on the left of the display using shapes which fly in from the right. Described as strangely addictive by one of the test team users position and rotate the shapes to build the wall and score points. Dotris doesn't depend on any particular screen reader and is supported on Windows XP, Windows vista and windows 7. It supports over 20 different types of display from the vast majority of Braille display manufacturers as it uses the same Technology used in the Dolphin Computer Access line of products to control the Braille display. I started to develop Dotris as a programming challenge. As a Braille user I've wondered for a long time weather a game like this would be possible using a Braille display. Well it can be done and it's a lot of fun to play. Rather than release the game for users to purchase or release it as freeware it is my intention to encourage the use of Braille through the game. With this in mind Dotris has been released as Donationware. This means that there is know charge to download the game however users are expected to make a donation to a charity chosen. Users are asked to value the game and donate what they believe its worth to the Clear Vision children's library. A charity which modify printed children's books by inserting Braille text enabling blind children or parents to read the books. Clear vision is a fantastic service which has enabled me to be able to read to my kids. I worry about the decline in Braille skills and trying to raise the profile and money for the clear vision library is my attempt to help slow this decline. As I used to hate reading Braille it's a complete turn around in my attitude to Braille in the last 10 years. Huge thanks to my volunteer test team and to the guys at Dolphin who have allowed

Given that the game is just an idea and a plan right now, I can't say a whole lot about it will or won't be. Like most of the things I build, it will probably start out as something simple that gets expanded over time. What I have settled on is a flat, two dimensional universe, with players starting roughly in the center near coordinates 0,0 and the edges being at around coordinates plus or minus two billion. I'm going to be keeping with the idea that one coordinate unit is about a light year, to make things easy. I've got code to create a handful of different types of galaxies, which will be scattered at random about the grid. Players will start about 3/4 of the way out on a 100k light year spiral galaxy, similar to where we sit in the milky way in real life. All this talk of galaxies is probably pointless, since as a player you're never likely to even leave the starting galaxy, but if we want to expand into them, we can. Even just the starting galaxy will have between 100 million and a billion star systems in it, depending on what I set the density factors for. To create the star systems and planets, I have a very detailed generator that has been lounging in my codebase for a long time. Things like the graphics for the planet surface are probably not needed for this project, which makes things a bit easier. Here's a list of some other stuff that I'm pretty sure will be in the final version: - a couple different nebula types, which may or may not have interesting effects on ships - naming star systems if you're the first one in it - submitting habitable planets as colonization candidates - interstellar wormholes scattered about that allow fast travel between regions Because of the way the star systems are constructed, I'll have to think about the best way to handle mining. I'd also like to add random alien generation as well, but I may simply have to just go with building them manually at the creator level. This said, talk is cheap. I'll let you know more as I progress on it, but there's a lot of other things in the way first, and I have to make sure I stay on top of Alter Aeon.

Hi Nick, Most of the accessible games out there use speech and/or audio for feedback. The reason is that braille displays are extremely expensive,and most blind computer users don't own one. The other reason is that there has been a huge migration from text based gaming to real time audio gaming and in a lot of cases the action moves too fast to review the information via braille. Speech feedback is much much quicker in an arcade, FPS, or side-scroller so most accessible game developers don't bother with braille display support.

Any recommendations or tips on using it? - Original Message - From: Dallas O'Brien dallas.r.obr...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 4:50 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon Blind Support Web Pages yeah. i have tested the tmc mud client, and pocket mud pro. i have to say, pocket mud pro is rather impressive. i have emailed the devolper to see if they could put in support for voiceover to have it automaticly read incoming messages while you are still focused on the text entry field, which would make things a lot easyer. it can be done, as i have seen other apps do it, but its a matter of waiting to see what he says. now we just need the sound pack from mush client ported to pocket mud pro and we are laughing. ahahaha dallas On 31/07/2012, Zachary Kline zkl...@speedpost.net wrote: Hi Dennis, On a similar note to what Michael says below, I have an update for the Mac mud clients. There is an accessible program called Mudder, which works extremely well. It can be found in the Mac App Store, for a small fee. Yours, Zack.

Therefore, it has a console with telnet on it, which works just like a linux telnet program would. By iOS, yes the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch are under that umbrella. There are several mud clients for that platform, most of which work with voice over. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are pocket mud pro, mud master, The Mud Connector game client, and possibly a few more I forgot.

I'm actually not even sure what these platforms are and/or how they work; for example, I thought Braille Plus was a printing service. Can you give me a quick overview?

Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon, Mush - z startup error
Hmm, you could just skip that error, then go to the open dialog and find the MCL file that way. I think it was trying to load the MCL from the creator's dropbox, but failed, because Z is not a valid drive name probably, I'm not really sure. But I know you can load the MCL file and it'll work fine. - Original Message - From: john jpcarnemo...@comcast.net To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2012 2:09 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon, Mush - z startup error I've got no help for you, save to say that I've scene this happening with others on the game as well.

Re: [Audyssey] How to start up Alter Aeon?
Start Mush-Z, if you get an error just press space and it'll be gone. Then press control+O, and go to the alteraeon folder in the Mush-Z\worlds folder. In the alteraeon folder you'll find alteraone.mcl. Open that. - Original Message - From: Keith S hea...@mchsi.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 6:43 AM Subject: [Audyssey] How to start up Alter Aeon?
