<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Introducing Audio Showdown, a new game that @ChanceyFleet and I built! She built the original web version after being inspired by the Power Showdown table at the #NFB Jernigan Institute, and I ported it over
to #iOS to take advantage of VoiceOver's Direct Touch feature. This is audio-based air hockey or Showdown, where you track the location of the puck using customizable sound cues. Listen for the puck location and movement, then use your finger as the paddle.
Use "Where the duck is the puck?" mode to hear how the sounds change in different parts of the table. I even built in little features like a Board Ball, a penalty for hitting the puck too hard in Showdown mode. Multiplayer and Game Center are in the works,
but for now, play against your computer opponent! \u2026<o:p></o:p></span></p>
