Question about supernova!
Andrey Kochetkov
I am user of stars for about one year. Currently I have version 2.6. The
strange thing is that I am blind player. It causes some problems, but I
play against my computer mostly succesfully at any level. The thing I am
worried about if the supernova interface will be unaccessable for me. So,
if anyone knows how it will display information on the screen, please,
write couple of words. Of course, if anyone knows where to get betta
version to look at, I would be very much thankful for it.

interface and, apart from sounding *very* nice, I'm sure that and
suggestions to him from you may have an impact on the design - But,
please, do not go there thinking he'll go ahead and do everything you
him to do.

That is not very complicated. I just use screen access program such as
windows bridge by synthavoice. It reads all information on the screen. So,
I can build ships and send them to other planets for different tasks. If
you want to try it you can visit www.synthavoice.on.ca and download
windowsbridge demo with dectalk speech synthasyzer.
Thanks for interest!

Thanks a lot. Though I just hope that new style of displaying information
won't be much different from stars 2.6 or 2.7. That would be just enough
for me.

Umm. This might be a stupid question, but how do you play if you're blind?

The question is not that much. Some people even think that blind means
stupid, though Me and many others of us are having or going to get PHDs or
other clever things. To the question, I have software for viewing screen
information and it reads me all I need. I can design ships and point them
to needed planets, it has some limits, I cannot play with much of planets
more then 128 or about. Though when you play just against your computer it
is enough. So, if you are interested in question of screen reviewing then
visit www.hj.com or site of synthavoice and download jaws for windows demo
with speech or windows bridge with dectalk speech synthasyzer. Just try it
yourself. You will see that blind can play stars! too.
Anyway, I hope that some people will also write to me about supernova. In
any case, thanks for interest. All the best.

Andrey,
BRAVO!!! I salute your dedication!!! We are honored to have you in
our midst, and hope that SuperNova will be as friendly to your
disability (though most blind people think WE are disabled) as well to
keep you playing with us.

it had already existed in some basic form when I was hired.
I know how much we all love clarity here:)
