ASSISTANCE OR ADVICE

Christo Vorster
 

Hi Group

 

The Institute for the Blind, or as it is known after a name change, Kaleidoscope, opened a hightech training centre for the training of vision impaired people, world wide, on I-phone, or IOS based equipment.

 

Of the intended trainees will be the students at the Pioneer School for the Vission Impaired in Worcester, South Africa.

 

Can anybody advise us on the availability of educational games, or any other games, that might be suited for the initial introduction of children aged from 5 to 10 years. Advice on games for teenagers and adults will also be welcome.

 

The games must be I-phone or IOS based. If the games are free, it will be fantastic, but if not, we’ll buy. The bottom line is just that we need to get such games to use for the introduction of children to the I-phone/IOS environment.

 

I hope that someone will be able to give us some information

 

Regards, and thanks

 

Christo Vorster (Worcester South Africa)

looks like a useful list, if you haven't found it already.

However, I think you may be better off asking such a question on a more iOS-
oriented list such as http://groups.google.com/group/viphone (which I found at
http://blind.wikia.com/wiki/IPhone ) rather than on this Windows-based NVDA
list.

Hi Anthony

Yes, you are probably right, but we figured we'd post it on all the groups
we have access to.

Thanks anyway.

Regards

Christo

Hi, Christo,

We are a small indie gamedev studio (Dawn of Play), based in Slovenia, and are working on a spatial-memory game for two players.
 
Flip the Dice could fit what you're looking for:

Let me know, if it looks interesting to you - it is still in development, but I could provide you with a testflight beta build, if you want to try it out?

Kind regards!

Sounds interesting.

When the site says "coming soon to your mobile" - do you mean "iPhone" or will it be available for Android as well?  I notice the line further down which mentions working with VoiceOver, but doesn't say anything about TalkBack.

If so, will it be playable between platforms (ie I have an Android and my wife has an iPhone, will we be able to play each other)?

Kind regards

Quentin.
