Re: [orca-list] Great news for blind gamers

According to Petr Bláha:
# installation is not possible without help of someone who can see the
# screen.

Unfortunately, this kinda defeats the whole purpose of accessibility. If 
I need someone who can see to read the screen to me during the 
installation process, I might as well have someone who can see play the 
game for me as well <smiles>. Actually, the installation process could 
be as simple as pressing enter a few times, which is, as I recall, the 
way Top Speed 3 works, which also runs flawlessly in Wine. In either 
case, we really do need more native Linux audiogames, rather than 
depending on Wine, as the Wine API's are incompatible with the Linux 
accessibility stack, so many things that can be done with native Linux 
applications are not currently possible in Wine, nor will this change in 
the near future, unless someone is working on something I hadn't heard 
of or read about yet.
