ago.
With Hal, the game would be okay if it would run successfully in a window
rather than fullscreen.
Pressing alt enter to get the window back is fairly symple, however in the

Hi Ari,
Thank you very much. I'm glad that you enjoy my Simon game.
You know for memory, you could also play my game of concentration.
I hate to say this, but the things that you asked for are totally contrary to
the object of the game of Simon.

Hi.
I wonder if we couldn't just get an interpreter that can run all the different
types of text adventure games in an accessible manner on all these different
platforms.

Hi Shaun,
I see. Well, right now I am just in the brain storming stage so the
actual programming language, sound support, story line, etc is all up in
the air at this point.
For example, I imagine some sort of gamebook method using Sapi support
and menus might be more interesting to gamers
Now that's what I call getting it done!
Good job!
Can't wait to see how the progress is going to be coming along!

Have you tried using a screen reader other than Hal? You might want to
try something like NVDA just for comparison. I am rather fond of NVDA

It fixes the text chopping issue, thanks.
the crash I managed to fix earlier by basically manually recetting all my

I've actually played through the first adventure, and it was a fun litle

For me the highlighting isn't a problem.
I have enough vision to see the colour highlighting myself, I was simply
thinking about people who do not and so would find a text announced symbol
