[nabs-l] Question about programming

[Chris Nusbaum]

Shawn,

How wonderful it is to see you on this list! I love that you are getting more involved in the Federation and NABS, both at the state and national levels. It was great to see you at convention and even more awesome to hear about your experiences at LCB. I'm glad to hear that you are interested in getting more involved in MDABS. Feel free to contact me off-list about this and we will find a place for you.

Back to your question, I unfortunately can't give you any personal knowledge or experience. However, we do have a list which is mostly made up of blind programmers and IT professsionals. It's called NFBCS, and can be subscribed to by emailing nfbcs-request at nfbnet.org with the subject Subscribe. This may be a place to get some good information from those who are professionals in that line of work. Hope this helps.

Chris

Right now, we're using a lot of a program called Live Code, especially in designing simple games.  Games with dragging and dropping objects across a screen and so on.  Live code seems to be virtually inaccessible because it is so visual.  Does anyone know of any tools or techniques that could help me? Later we'll be moving on to Python and Ruby languages, which I know are accessible, but are there any ways at least to design games accessibly on a mac?
