Isolating a Subsector

[BlindGuy]

Trailing edge of Foreven works for me, I understand that conflicts will happen. That sub sector is still in flux, of course.

Regarding testing, I don't know any other blind Traveller players I'm afraid. Granted, sighted folk can use VoiceOVer too, but it's not quite the same.

Coreward and rimward will work just fine this way, but trailing and spinward would need text rotation and this is currently not possible (at least not in a neutral and reliable way, as far as I know).

In this case, we're optimizing for the iPad and voice over usage, so we can assume WebKit and CSS transform support.

Surprised my original required scrolling - it didn't on my iPad. I'll try and find time to test and tweak more.

Maybe it's the fact I technically have a mini? Though I thought they were pretty equivalent for display purposes, no idea.

If I didn't rotate the text, than the map's width would be much wider than a portrait oriented screen

Oh, helpful tip - with the screen reader, it doesn't matter if the text is visible. So you can do things like:

<a style="display: block; position: relative; width: 40px; height: 500px; overflow: hidden;"> very long text here that doesn't fit </a>

The dimensions provide the hit target, the fact that it's an 'A' tag describes the interaction model, and the text is what's read aloud.

Oh, that's cool. I will update the page tomorrow. Now my bed is calling, it's 3 AM here in Germany.

Brief bump - I updated the voice-over friendly page:

http://calormen.com/tmp/vo.html

I included (and tweaked) the mods by thalassogen to include navigation to adjacent subsectors and positioned them around the perimeter.

The page fits in Safari in portrait mode on my iPad but if for some reason it still requires scrolling it's easy for me to adjust the scale.

Thanks, and apologies for vanishing

Hi All,

As it tends to do, real life and school got in the way of anything Traveller-related for a while. I hope to start up something here in the new year, even if it's just a solo free trader campaign in a sub sector.
The map seems to work great on my iPad. Much appreciated!

More soon,
Zack.
