c. Reasons to use the typing game.

This game is designed to help the visually impaired while also appealing to the general public.  It is especially useful for the visually impaired, since they will be able to play the game just as affectively as the sighted, but will still receive the same skills by playing.  The game is good for children, since it is fun and educational. 

           

 

2. Game Objective and Description

When the program has been started there is a machine at the top of the screen that will drop a letter while simultaneously saying the letter.  There is a bug at the bottom of the screen.  Once the letter has hit the bottom, the bug and the letter will move closer together.  There will be beeps that tell the user the approximate location of the bug and the letter.  The beeps will speed up as the distance grows smaller between the two.  The user must hit the correct computer key for the letter that was said before the bug and the letter reach each other.  If the wrong key is pressed an error message is related back to user saying, “Wrong letter!  Try Again!”
