  • Blind

    From Sisyphos@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 8 12:19:45 2023
    Are there any blind players here?
    According to the guidebook, there is a possibility.

    These days this newsgroup generally isn't populated any more
    (compared to the times when NH-343 came out), and probably even
    less by blind folks. So chances are not that good that you will
    get a response.

    I seem to recall, though, that long ago there was some interest
    and some exchange here concerning that topic. So you might find
    some hints if you google/search the newsgroup archives of RGRN.

    Not me, sorry, but I'm really interested in this topic, for various
    reasons: if you learn some concrete and good solutions, could you please
    post them here?

    I spent some time reading a Master thesis published some years ago where
    an attempt was made to describe the map, but it was rather limited;
    I even asked 2 interns to think about it from recent AI perspective, but
    they did not progress enough in this direction, it was too hard.
    So far, afaik, it boils down using a basic screen reader, but that's
    quickly really very annoying I can imagine.

    The map can be printed to paper with a Braille-like tilemap. Many of the tiles could be printed as they are,
    alphabet would require Braille. Assume you have this, what could you do with it?
