I understand his reasons, bt they are still frustrating. 95% accessible is hard to swallow. Best, Zack.

When i raised the issue of an alternate display of the same information ala the the startraders nav menue, he told me he'd already looked into that and decided against it. Frankly I doubt his abilities at looking at alternate solutions sinse genrally speaking most sighted developers are not good at finding alternative ways of desplaying graphical map info, which is one reason why it's often a good idea to discuss these things. > > The STarbase orion dev just seems narrow minded, and I'm tempted to go and give starbasee orion a zero star rating because of that. > > I have said if he wants to discuss alternatives I'd be happy and have come as close to politeness allows to calling him a closed minded arrogant so and so, (I did use the word intractable). > > So, unfortunately it seems no access fixes here, which is pretty bad and not what I was hoping for (I am usualy at least a little more successful at this), though now that Trees brothers (the chaps who make startraders rpg), have moved into game developement we might see an accessible 4X game for the Iphone in the future. > > All the best, > > Dark. > --- > Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] > If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected]. > You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at > http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org. > All messages are archived and can be searched and read at > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]. > If you have any questions or concerns regarding the management of the list, > please send E-mail to [email protected]. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
