Hi Matthew,
Speaking of people with partial loss of hearing or near deaf I've been 
wondering on ways of improving mota ffor those with hearing as well as 
visual disabilities. I was wondering if I add a textbox which will allow 
you to use a braille display with the game if that would help. 
Unfortunately, most of what it would display is health, strength, 
location, and other stats. Though, you might be able to press a key and 
have the braille display tell you the location of a centaur, skeleton, 
harpy, or another monster. In your opinion would this be helpful?

And the hearing aids are like the loudest ones you can get.  Think I was

Well, Thomas, the problem is, You would need a screen reader running in the
background to get the braille to work wouldn't you?

Sounds like a good Idea as far as health and all.  But, might be a waist of
time. When I play your other game, I had no problem with needing a braille
to know my health and so forth.  And the sound panning helpped a lot.

Correct me if I'm wrong about the Braille part.  Just as I recalled, running
your game and a screen reader didn't go hand in hand.

Hi Sean.

H, how about online games such as Sryth? lots of stuff to do and no 
typing in commands.


then, there's the various gamebook style stuff, which is probably easier and 
less frustrating to play than If, sinse there's no typing in of commands.


For starters you could try ffproject.org, - though if you want a full 
list, just search audiogames.net under gamebooks (I can guarantee the 
entries there are uptodate).


Hth.

Beware the Grue!

Hi.
I am asking on behalf of a friend that is deff who wants to know what 
games he can play, this guy is blind and deff and has a braille display.
So far I have suggested the games at ifarchive.org, the times ashes 
collection
The dos games at kitchensinc.net and pcsgames.net but not sure if they are 
still up.

Also old card games for dos, etc.
Am I missing something out or is that all.
Oh this guy is dumb as a post where pcs are concerned.
I was thinking the rogue style but I suspect all the symbols would look 
real bad on a braille display.
If you have any extras you'd like  to give me just pass them privately 
unless you want to open another list topic, I don't mind, I have asked 
this guy to subscribe, well gave him the web address of this place so who 
knows.
Oh I also suggested to him games like kingdom of loathing, and alterego as 
well as muds in general.

I think I have everything but am not sure.
I am not deff so I don't know exactly what is required.

Speaking of playing games for some folks that are either able to hear some.
You can still play three D games, as long as you can hear in one ear well
enough like me.

What I've done, is move the computer speakers, or should I say power sterio
speakers on my right side, the left speaker is on my right front, and the
right speakers is on my right back.

That way when playing like shades of Doom, or something, I can tell if it's
left or right, depending on where the sound is.  Takes some getting used to
doing it.

Well, I can answer this one.  Since I'm pretty much labeled Blind/Deaf.
Yet, I can still hear some audio and play audio games.

But, any way.  All in play, Kindom of loathing, uhm, thrist,  furry-paws,
uhm, several others that I play with with nothing but Braille.  

The question is, can the said person read Braille good enough and comprehend
the mechanics of games.  If the person has been able to hear or see in the
past, makes it much easier.
