#introduction [FR]
Je suis un geek en Belgique. J'écris des histoires SFFF, je tiens un blog, je développe des outils autour de la littérature. J'adapte aussi des œuvres en audio. Je suis malvoyant sévère et j'essaie de rendre les choses plus accessibles par de l'impression 3D, et autres. À mes heures perdues, je joue au go, à des jeux de rôle et des jeux vidéos. J'écoute des livres, ainsi que des films et des séries audio-décrits. Vous trouverez un peu de tout ça ici, en français et en anglais.
#introduction [EN]
I'm a geek living in Belgium. I write some sci-fi and fantasy stories, I have a blog and I develop some tools for literature. I adapt some works into audio. I'm legally blind and I try to create accessibility with 3D printing and others. In my spare time, I play go game, sport (kickboxing), RPG and video games. I listen books and audio-descripted movies and series. You'll find all of that here, in English and in French. I'm learning Dutch and Japanese too.
Bon anniversaire @davidrevoy !
[EN] And now, not the final result because I need to #3DPrint a 19x19 one and note a 2x2 one. I can't wait to play go game with it! If you want all files (sorry I have to comment the code): https://procrastinator.nerv-project.eu/kujiu/goban/src/branch/main/with_marbles
[FR] Et maintenant, pas encore le résultat final mais presque, parce que je dois imprimer la version 19x19 et pas 2x2. J'ai si hâte de jouer au go avec ça ! Et si vous voulez les fichiers : https://procrastinator.nerv-project.eu/kujiu/goban/src/branch/main/with_marbles
This means that if you make a script that does something that only you personally will get anything out of, that's fine, make it as inaccessible as you like, only you will deal with any consequences that arise from that. But if you make something you're going to release to the public, and you don't know a thing about accessibility, don't you dare expect users to do to the work of learning your codebase, and making your thing accessible.
If you release a program for use by other people, accessibility is your responsibility.
If you create a website for other people to use, accessibility is your responsibility.
If you make a platform for people to come together and meet on, accessibility is your responsibility.
If you make a framework for other developers to build things on top of, accessibility is your responsibility.
[FR] Et il est temps d'imprimer en 3D un goban 2x2 ! Quoi ? Je l'ai déjà dit ? Des preuves ?
Sérieusement, concevoir un jeu accessible n'est pas si facile. Je tente d'utiliser des billes pour une couleur et des pierres de go pour la prochaine version. Toutes les pierres doivent être inamovibles car les personnes aveugles ont besoin de toucher sans bouger quoi que ce soit. Mais au final, dans tous mes tests du jour, il est difficile de retirer les pierres capturées. #3DPrint #GoGame #a11y
[EN] And now, it's time to #3DPrint a 2x2 goban! What? I've already said that? Any proof?
Seriously, designing an #accessible game is not easy. I've tried a lot of technologies. For the future version, I try marbles for one color and go stones for the other. All stones on the game must be inamovible because blind people have to touch without changing anything. But, in fact, it's hard to remove the stone when captured with what I printed today.
#Talkback users, what keyboard apps are you using on #Android? I don't like GBoard, and Swiftkey is only slightly better (slightly faster and doesn't require double taps for switching to symbols or sending a message). I liked the Samsung keyboard on my old phone, but I guess that is Samsung-restricted, because searching Aurora Store I only get clones. Anything else that works?
I'd love to use AnySoftKeyboard or another thing on F-Droid, but last time I checked, the keys weren't read at all.
Yes, I know the braille keyboard exists. Not really my thing unfortunately, although perhaps I should try practicing some.
