Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with Voiceover support got an update
That assumes though that you have selected vertical navigation on in the rotor selection menu Settings, General, Accessibility, Voice Over, Rotor, Here is a list of items you can add or remove from the rotor. Single finger double tap to select or deselect.

In most instances I have found it to be virtually useless. For instance, I tried to use it in other table-oriented applications, such as Numbers, and it was completely useless. In the Robo-E game it works quite well though. Thanks, Denny On 4/3/13, Phil Vlasak p...@pcsgames.net wrote: Hi Christopher, Thanks for the suggestion turning Vertical Navigation on When the rotor is set to this option, the user experiences control of VoiceOver which is similar to using arrow keys on a desktop computer. Flicking up/down moves the user up/down, while flicking left/right continues to move the user horizontally. This feature will be especially helpful to those who frequently navigate with VoiceOver via a connected BluTooth keyboard, as well as in grid-based games or table layouts. The feature, interestingly, ignores artificial boundaries, meaning that if you navigate upward from the top row of a Home screen, you will find that VoiceOver focus has moved to the status bar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update
although I am not familiar with the particular puzzle game, there is a way to move up and down a column. You will need to add Verticle navigation to your rotor, if it is not already there. Add it by following these steps. 1. Open Settings. 2. Open General 3. Open Accessibility 4. Double-tap the VoiceOver button 5. Open Rotor Settings 6. Locate Verticle Navigation and double-tap it Now, when you are in the puzzle app and you want to move to the space below your current position, turn the rotor to vertical Navigation and perform a single-finger swipe down. Move up the column with a single-finger swipe up. Hope this helps! Philip M Kragnes, M.S.

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update
Hi Christopher, Thanks for the suggestion turning Vertical Navigation on When the rotor is set to this option, the user experiences control of VoiceOver which is similar to using arrow keys on a desktop computer. Flicking up/down moves the user up/down, while flicking left/right continues to move the user horizontally. This feature will be especially helpful to those who frequently navigate with VoiceOver via a connected BluTooth keyboard, as well as in grid-based games or table layouts. The feature, interestingly, ignores artificial boundaries, meaning that if you navigate upward from the top row of a Home screen, you will find that VoiceOver focus has moved to the status bar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update
Hi, I was mildly surprised to find that the virtical navigation worked with this game. In most instances I have found it to be virtually useless. For instance, I tried to use it in other table-oriented applications, such as Numbers, and it was completely useless. In the Robo-E game it works quite well though.

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update
It's a puzzle game in which you push balls into rings. It has a space theme, which involves a robot interacting with energy rings. The most difficult levels have nine or ten balls to place.

Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update March 16, 2013
Hi Folks, Here is more info about Robo-E by MPaja software. I hope it will answer some questions about the game. Robo-E is in charge of cleaning up the galaxy from toxic waste. But he needs your help as his positronic brain is confused after a nearby supernova went off. You must guide Robo-E in pushing all the red waste balls on top of the yellow energy rings to activate their transfer to hyperspace. Robo-E brings you the classic game of Sokoban with beautiful graphics and and intuitive UI. Includes hundreds of built in levels. Sokoban originally was a Japanese puzzle that involved moving boxes around a room. Without planning several moves in advance you could easily box yourself in. Robo-E is a spin on this classic puzzle with a Sci-Fi theme. You play on a grid with walls, Robo-E, your character, balls and energy rings. You can have more than one ball at a time. you push the balls in the empty spaces and finally into the energy rings. Robo-E is playable with Voice Over, so for the ultimate challenge activate Voice Over from the device settings and play blindfolded, trusting only your touch and ears. There is a review screen feature. By running your finger over the screen the type of cell is announced and what is in it. For the first three levels a hint is given as to what you can do. As you go up in levels sometimes the grid gets larger and there are more balls. At level 1 the grid is 5 by 5 with 1 ball. At level 12 the grid is 9 by 10 with 4 balls. At level 13 the grid is 6 by 6 with 5 balls. The three finger swipe to move only works if the user has VoiceOver on. On the very first level you are above the ball in the starting position. The energy ring is below the ball. If you run your finger from top to bottom, you would hear, wall, empty, Robo-E, ball, energy ring, empty, wall. So you just need to swipe down to push the ball into the ring. Once a ball is in an energy ring, you can't move over it. Often you in fact need to push a ball away from an energy ring temporarily in order to get access to another ball. Or sometimes a ball sits on an energy ring already at the beginning of a level, but must be moved away, temporarily, to end up on another energy ring. Only in the end all the energy rings need to be occupied to complete the level. Both you and the ball are blocked by the walls, so once a ball is against a wall it can not be moved off it, but can be moved along it. If a ball and energy ring are on the same wall, only that ball can go in that energy ring, even if there is another ball closer to the ring. If you move a ball to the corner, there is no way to get it out from there, except by undoing the move. Even though the rules are simple, the locations of the walls, balls and rings make the game almost as complicated as chess. This type of puzzle is very challenging, and your success like in a chess game, will depend on how many moves ahead you can store in your mind. version 1.4 added new sounds and support for Game Center. And Translations to Finnish, French, Italian, Portuguese. There is now a different sound for moving one square, going over multiple squares, pushing the ball, pushing the ball over ring, trying to push a ball that cannot move, and bumping into walls. Game Center support is also there for high-score tracking. There is no free version and the price is $1.99 US.

Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update
Hi, I haven't seen Robo-E mentioned in this group. It is a puzzle game with full VoiceOver support. http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/games/robo-e The update includes more sound effects to make it clearer for VoiceOver users that the move registered and what kind of move it was. It also adds Game Center support and translations to French, Finnish, Italian and Portuguese. Full disclosure, I'm the author of Robo-E. Happy gaming, Harri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update
Hello Harry, I heard this game demonstrated on AppleVis and picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Nice job. It's a fun game. I'm glad you added sound effects. Thanks for making it accessible and for being on the ViPhone list. Best, Anna On Mar 16, 2013, at 11:30 AM, Harri Pasanen hpasa...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I haven't seen Robo-E mentioned in this group.
