This is great. I'd love to see some accessibility aspects added.. This would be MASSIVE for schools with children who are learning to use switches or eyegaze or other access methods and could be educational too. (see https://www.helpkidzlearn.com/cm-info https://www.helpkidzlearn.com/cm-info for what is kind of doing this but downpour gives way more flexibility). So: Switch scanning ability. Highlight each part in a linear way. Allow space to select that item. Enter could move the item on
Im not sure if this would work but look at https://tools.openaac.org/ https://tools.openaac.org/ see https://tools.openaac.org/demo.html https://tools.openaac.org/demo.html and hit scan in top right for a demo
I'd be happy to offer more support on this..
- v21 3y agoHi! Thank you. The exported games run as ordinary HTML pages, so hopefully they're hitting a minimum bar for this kind of accessibility already (tab will cycle through links, enter will work to select it). The actual output format is open source (https://github.com/downpourlimited/engine https://github.com/downpourlimited/engine) so making games within Downpour, exporting them, and then adding in the AAC shim or any other technology should be pretty straightforward. I'm not sure what adding more support for this tech by default would look like, but I'd be happy to chat more about it - email me at v@downpour.limited ?
