Wow, excellent find! Really amazing! Is Dennis in contact with the SIG? Only one small remark about something that I encountered and that is the Hue-setting might not be a sufficient solution for colour blind gamers. See this example:

In this game you have to select two pieces that are the same shape and colour. In the example above I was playing without any colour and encountered the mistake above. The solution is below:

I like the Hue setting very much though...

Great find, Barry!

Greets,

Richard

  Don't know if you're all aware or not of Dennis Asher's excellent Nanogames accessible web games project:

  http://www.nanogames.com/

  This from the front page:

    a.. Adjust the speed and difficulty of the games through a very wide range.

    b.. Support for alternative access methods. Nanogames can be controled using a mouse or the keyboard and even played as single switch games (controled using a mouse click or key press or any device that emulates the keyboard or mouse click). There are a wide range of such devices available from miniature and expanded keyboards, through to mouse emulators like head mouse and touch screens. 

    c.. Built-in Single Switch Scanning - all games can be played using a single switch. 

    d.. Low Vision support - the game size and contrast can be increased for seniors and low vision game players.

    e.. All the Nanogames use a uniform interface. There is no need to learn a new adaptation method for each game. It will take a little time learning how to adapt the first game, the rest is easy.
