to Dave. RE: [games_access] One Switch Controller Photoshop Challenge!

[Robert Florio]

I don't think we've met before David but I am Robert a quadriplegic game
designer 24 years old living in Maryland.  Excellent work with that document
I started reading some of it I started to realize it's a great resource of
everything I've been learning to reconnect and show to everyone a great
example of what making accessible games is about to explaining it.

I got invited to speak at a University of Maryland Baltimore campus I
believe about game health in October was wondering if I could reference your
document and your name if you could tell me a little bit about yourself also
while I am doing the speech about game health and accessibility?

I have to get back to school work studying game design in my fourth year the
art Institute online but look forward to hearing from you and learning more
about you.  Check out my site it will tell you everything.

Was there supposed to be an actual program set up you mentioned some sort of
resource for producers to do what again or is it just the document to read?

Hi

Been a bit of a lurker for the last few months!

This is an idea we have been thinking about for some time.  We do provide a 
some or resources which could be helpful in getting this idea on the road.

1 SAW (Special Access to Windows) which can add a switch interface to any 
window software - free from our web site

2.  Guideline for writing switch controlled software at

0E4D09C4&productid=39CDB568-3048-7290-FEC9DD682AB8BEC1

sorry about the URL - tiny next time!

3.  A project proposal and ideas forum which are stored on the OATS web 
site.  This site can be a focus for the development of an open source
product

http://www.oatsoft.org/Forge/development-ideas

For us this would be a great cooperative development project.
