Also -- we are submitting an "accessibility" intro to help answer the needs of developers who need a "crash course" in accessibility before they attend a programming talk. So at this year's GDC we are trying to meet the needs of people just beginning to learn about accessibility as well as those who want implementation solutions.

Hi Sandra

yes, I propose a coding framework for implementation in my master thesis (GAIM), and Eelke provides design patterns for accessibility.

Also, mainstream games wih accessibility implemented are e.g Doom3[CC], Half-life 2 and AudioQuake. Then there also a number of general / hardware approaches.

This will be part of the Tech talk session.

Hello,

this is only one thought:

There is a nice GameOver! Game and some nice GA Rules.
But how do developer use it ?
How can they adapt the rules to their game ?

The best way (maybe) is to show an example with a mainstream game.
For example Need For Speed:

Show how the "Unified Design for UA-Games" works.
Where to start, how to do it.
What is important, how to work together with the gamer.

And at the end present an accessible Need for Speed Game Design.

Regards,
Sandra
