I can certainly advise the gestures game, ---- even the tutorial is rather
fun, ---- because the mage giving you instructions gets so irritated if you
do someonthing wrong, lol!

Hi Phil
I appreciate you sending out this reminder about the mouse optional
games.
I actually downloaded the first of the three games Fireman. I have to
honestly admit I played four times two with the keyboard and two with the
mouse. As unused to working the mouse as I am, game four with the mouse
was
for sure my best in rescuing falling people.
Time to go back and look at the rest of them.
Ron

Hi Folks,
I was so impressed with mouse support I created a list of all the mouse
driven games for the blind.
Before you discard the mouse try the Fireman game.

Although most sighted games use the mouse for aiming, that shouldn't
preclude us from using it for other purposes. I realize not a lot of you
have used the mouse to play games, given the very few available, but I
can
tell you, we're missing out on a very good input device for the blind,
and
I
really don't understand why the resistance.
Is it just because it is something different that folks haven't done
before? Are folks afraid they can't learn to use it?
What is the thinking out there? I for one hate playing exclusively with
the keyboard, there is just no subtlety of control there, but with the
mouse
you have an entirely new dimension of control if it is programmed right.
For instance, I am still kicking around the idea of doing a mouse driven
golf game. Imagine how cool it would be to have control of your golf
club
speed depending on how fast you moved the mouse. It would feel a lot more
like actually playing golf instead of trying to hit a moving target with
a
dart, as is the case with a keyboard setup. No slam meant to Jim's golf
game here, obviously what he has created has been accepted and played by
throngs of accessible gamers and my hats off to him for providing it for
free, and coming up with an interface that works very well.
But my point is, we're limiting ourselves for no good reason here, and I
wish someone would explain to me why it is taking so long to get
accessible
gamers to accept the mouse as a primary input device.
I'm not trying to come down on anyones opinions here, but when I see
folks
not taking advantage of something that is capable of improving things on
any
level, I just have to scratch my head and wonder why.
Thoughts?
Thanks for reading my diatribe here, ehahah,
Che
