Hi Thomas, I do like the warning at the edge of traps for several reasons. In a sighted game or in reality, you would know exactly how far you were away from a trap just by seeing it. Before the edge warning, I had to go into view, fine the specific trap and hit enter. The distance is in meters

Hi Thomas, I don't mind the distance in meters. I have a problem when the game rounds off the distance to the nearest meter. If I knew that the trap was .3 away then I would be sure that one step would bring me to 0. But the game says 1 meter if you are .3 or .6 away from the trap. I think the

Hi Thomas, If you rounded off the floating point value to a tenth of a meter you would only need to record 9 new sound files. The distance and how accurate the measure is, doesn't matter since you can not vary your step. How about a tip toe hot key that would move you by .1 of a meter and also
