FOrge of Darkness, AKA Forge accessibility for the Blind

[Elwin]

Hi there,

I just wanted to write as a newbie to Forge and Magic in general. I discovered the app recently and have been exploring some fo tis features. I am a totally blind player, and was amazed to discover that the entire experience thus far has been quite pleasant, at least on my MAc with screen reading software. THis is very rare, especially for independently-developed projects, and doubly so for Java.

I just wanted to gush a bit and thank the folks behind this program. I look forward to exploring it in more depth, but for now I just wonder how to turn off the music? It is a bit hard to understand what's going on with the screen reader talking on top of it

Thanks much, and I can't wait to continue seeing what this app has to offer.

Well, I figured it out, at least the music bit. I just need to figure out why the experience on Windows is poor, I suspect the app isn't as keyboard-accessible as I wish it were.

Is there any recommended approach for someone who is both new to Magic and new to the app? I feel mildly overwhelmed at the moment

Hi

Wish I had seen this earlier, after some playtesting using screen reader software, I can imagine this would have been "chaotic" to say the least.

Looking forward to the first test match this evening
