Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Hi Shaun, Well, they weren't really fully accessible until Windows 7, but even so saying the Microsoft games were never for us totally ignores the good access work Microsoft did to make those games accessible in Windows 7. Not sure where you get your attitude, but I find your comments a bit rude and slightly inflammatory in light of the improvements in accessibility regarding those games. Do you always put people down even when they make improvements in a product in your favor? Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Hi Shaun, Well, and that is precisely the problem. You come on this list acting as though you are experienced, have a lot of knowledge, that you know things you actually don't, and then someone has to correct you when you are wrong. You frequently assume things you don't know for certain, state your opinion, and then someone else ends up having to correct the errors in your comments. A lot of it comes down to the fact it hadn't occurred to you to verify your facts like the accessibility of the Windows 7 games. You just form an opinion based on older versions of the program and just assume it holds true for later versions of it as well. So please let this be a reminder to verify facts before just assuming your information is factual. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Hi Dark, Sure. I like the Spoonbill games as well. Although, my basic point was they are not exactly a one to one replacement for the Microsoft games. However, for someone not running Windows 7 they are a decent enough alternative and are free. While I do know the BA Card Room exists the problem there is that it is a paid service where the Microsoft games are free to play. I don't know of many blind players that play them online, but it is an option for those who are into that sort of thing. At any rate I'm sure you are right. Sooner or later Drafts and Spades will be add to Ian's Spoonbill games, because he has pretty much written everything else in the card and puzzle genre. It is easy to assume he'll get around to developing accessible versions of those two as well. Cheers!

I suspect draughts and spades will be added to the spoonbill lineup at some point in the future. Also I confess I like the spoonbill games especially their crossword puzzle. they may not have online play but I find them very well designed, although I do wish their computer opponents were a little more challenging at hearts :D.

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Free Cell is a form of Solitaire. There are an additional set of 4 spaces into which you can move a pile of upturned cards for future use. Then, you turn the top card in the remainder of that stack face up. If you have 4 piles of upturned cards in these 4 extra spaces, you empty one of those spaces by moving them back onto the main stacks. For example, if the bottom card of one of those piles in safety is a black 3, you can move that pile back onto a red 2. Then, you have a free cell into which you can move another stack when a play off the main stacks or the top face up card in the discard pile cannot be used. Mine Sweeper is a game in which all tiles are not marked. It on, I think, a 10 by 10 grid. Mines are randomly placed on squares. Reveal a square, and, by deduction, try to not reveal a square that has a mine on it. When you reveal a squares, all of the unmined adjacent squares are revealed. Each unmined square has the number of mines that are in adjacent squares. If you reveal the top left square, and all of the top row becomes revealed, they are all safe. If the top left square has a 1 in it, you know that there is a mine directly below, or southeast of that top left square. If you reveal the square directly below, or south, of the top left square, and there is a 1 in that square, you know that the square to your right is mined. You have found the first mine, and can flag it as being mined. Continue playing until you have either correctly flagged all of the mined squares or have blown up by stepping onto a mine, in which case, you have lost the game. --- Be positive!

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
All of them should be accessible, presuming that you know how to play the game beforehand. The games don't come with tutorials other than the windows help, so I would recommend having a working knowledge of them before you start trying to play them. That said, its perfectly possible to play the games if you know how they work. -- From: Dacia Cole dacia.l...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 10:47 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft Besides Hearts and Mine Sweeper which I'm trying to figure out how to play, which other ones are accessible? thanks, Dacia On 10/31/14, john jpcarnemo...@gmail.com wrote: If we're talking about windows 7, they aught to work with any screen reader out there. -- From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 8:59 AM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft Hi Dacia, Not sure about Jaws since I haven't used Jaws myself in years.

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Hi John, For the most part that is true. Although, I do recall a number of years ago someone releasing set files for Window-Eyes that were compatible with FreeCell, Solitaire, and a couple of the other games for XP. So it is possible to access the XP version of those games, but I don't know of any other screen reader besides Window-eyes that ever supported them because they were purely graphical. So for the most part the XP version of those games aren't accessible. With the Windows 7 version of the games though everything has buttons and other standard UI elements accessible to any and all screen readers. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Hi Dark, Actually, I can think of a number of games that comes with modern Windows that Spoonbill do not have versions for such as Backgammon, Checkers, Mahjong, and not sure if they have a version of Spades yet either. Plus a lot of the Microsoft games for Windows aren't exclusively stand alone games any more. Backgammon, Hearts, Spades, etc can be played online against a human opponent which also makes a difference when recommending the Spoonbill games as an alternative since their games are stand alone games with no online play.

Hi Tom. that's true about online games, though it's worth noting there is online accessible hearts and spaades in blind adrenaline cardroom, Online draughts (checkers), in the Quentin C playroom, and and online backgammon in pontes backgammon, still I take your point. I suspect draughts and spades will be added to the spoonbill lineup at some point in the future. Also I confess I like the spoonbill games especially their crossword puzzle. they may not have online play but I find them very well designed, although I do wish their computer opponents were a little more challenging at hearts :D.
