Adding accessibility features to Echo Bazarre?

[kestrell]

A week or so ago Alexx posted about
a Web game called Echo Bazaar
http://alexx-kay.livejournal.com/297897.html
and how he thought it could be made accessibile with relative ease.

I encourage blind readers interested in accessible games to follow the link to the game's forum and either add your comment or vote up Alexx' suggestion (I found this latter task to be kind of confusing myself but I did add my own comment to the thread's vote).

Also, don't bazaar and bizarre sound almost identical with a screen reader?

Indeed, many sighted reader confuse them in spelling. I've heard Farsi speakers say BEE zhahr.

Honestly I am very glad I don't play any computer games, because fanfic is enough.

I have been reading "HP and the Metholds of Rationality," but Harry's CHristmas dinner speech and his subsequent rationalizations have gotten me steamed to a point where I'm pretty disgusted and may not continue. I loved the Hermione bits, of course, but Harry's attitude that it's okay to manipulate and withhold information from people because you think you can make better decisions about what actions they should take--let's just say that those are the two things I find most unforgiveable and I cannot believe that none of the other characters have called him on it.
