>>
>>
>>
>> UNC students have created Braille Squad - a free game for emerging 
>> braille readers.  The game uses the iPad paired with the refreshable 
>> braille display (RBD).  This is a great first pass at this game; the UNC 
>> students would like your feedback on how to improve the game. Please send 
>> any comments back to me: dianebrauner at me.com
>>
>>
>>
>> Before playing the game, you will need to confirm that your braille 
>> settings are set correctly for this beginning braille game.  Go to 
>> Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Braille.
>>
>>          Contracted Braille - Off
>>
>>          Automatic Braille Translation - On
>>
>>          Eight-dot braille - Off
>>
>>          Status Cell - Off
>>
>>          Equations use Nemeth Code (no Nemeth code is used in this game, 
>> so this setting does not matter)
>>
>>          Show Onscreen keyboard - Off
>>
>>
>>
>> To add Braille Squad game icon to your Home screen (so you do not have to 
>> go to Safari and type in the address each time you want to play):
>>
>> The first time, click on the link provided in this email or launch Safari 
>> and type in the game URL.  When Braille Squad is open, type the Share 
>> button (a popup appears).  Tap on ?Add to Home Screen?, which is located 
>> at the bottom of the line of the popup.  The Braille Squad game will now 
>> have an icon on your Home screen.  (It will automatically be placed as 
>> your last app on your last Home Screen.  Next time you play the game, 
>> simply go to your Home screen and tap on Braille Squad.
>>
>>
>>
>> This game is designed for the iPad to be in portrait position, to be used 
>> in conduction with the refreshable braille display and to be used with 
>> VoiceOver on.
>>
>>
>>
>> Games:
>>
>>
>>
>> Scribble: Use the refreshable braille display to make letters.
>>
>> Students can ?scribble? by making any combination of braille dots. 
>> Example: The student can press dots 1 and 3; the game will say ?K?.
>>
>>
>>
>> Matching: Buttons On/Off (This toggles between using the braille display 
>> and using the on-screen keyboard.  If someone with vision is learning 
>> braille, then activate the Buttons On/Off so that the individual visual 
>> letters on the iPad screen can be selected. However, in this mode the 
>> braille will only display ?btn? for ?button?; the individual tactile 
>> braille letters on the RBD will not be displayed.  Activate the Buttons 
>> On/Off again to use the tactile braille letters on the RBD.
>>
>>
>>
>> Four braille letters appear on the RBD.  The game will say a letter and 
>> the student will select the correct letter by pressing the Routing button 
>> directly below and one space to the right of the desired letter.  (The 
>> Routing buttons are the small black raised circle below each braille cell 
>> on the RBD.  Pressing the Routing button will move the blinking VoiceOver 
>> cursor to that braille cell.)
>>
>>
>>
>> Easy Typing:
>>
>> The game will say, ?Type the letter ___?.  The student will type the 
>> desired letter.
>>
>>
>>
>> Hard Typing:
>>
>> The game will say, ?Type the letter ___.?  The student will type the 
>> desired letter.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Training:
>>
>> The game will say dot numbers to make a specific letter.  The student 
>> will press the desired braille input keys to create the letter.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Hints:
>>
>> To go back to the Braille Squad home screen, select Menu.  (Remember, 
>> VoiceOver is on, so you must touch Menu (listen to VoiceOver say ?menu?) 
>> and then double tap.  If the Menu button does not appear at the bottom of 
>> the page, use three fingers and drag up to move the screen up in order to 
>> reach the Menu button.  Activate the Menu button by touching, (listen to 
>> ?menu?) then double tapping.
>>
>>
>>
>> There is currently an Apple glitch with the on-screen keyboard.  (The RBD 
>> command to hide the on-screen keyboard currently does not work.)  The 
>> on-screen keyboard should not appear (as we turned it off in Settings); 
>> however, currently the on-screen keyboard will appear sometimes.  If it 
>> does, activate Hide keyboard button (bottom right key on the on-screen 
>> keyboard - remember VoiceOver is on, so you tap, listen to Hide Keyboard 
>> and double tap).  Then activate the Restore Focus button at the bottom 
>> left side of the screen.
