Re: Visually-impaired MUDders

Don't forget, "visually impaired" doesn't just consist of those who are totally or legally blind - it also includes those who are partially sighted or have low vision.

I have a config option called "screen reader" which is (unsurprisingly) designed to make the game more playable for those who use a screen reader. But I also think it's worth considering options for people with other forms of visual impairment, such as customisable colour schemes for those who are colour blind, or (and this is specifically addressed at client developers) larger fonts for those with generally poor vision (the mud equivalent of a book).
