Just for the hell of it, I've been working on a screen reader in PB (don't ask why). Currently it (well once I un-break TTS), reads foreground window when it changes. However, I know that I'm going to need to handle UIA/MSAA/IAccessible2/etc. events. Does PB have WinAPI functions wrapped for this ...

I'm currently working an an FPS game that uses audio and keyboard as it's only methods of input and output (so I can play it) . Also working on a networking project (chat client) but it doesn't work atm

Wo cool!

Hi.
Initially, I did use just PB calls. But the MOTD and online packet, for example would get mashed. Or if two users sent a chat at the same time. So I tried using recv_() and send_() to insure the packet arrives before sending the next one, but it doesn't work...

Alright, here are the networking parts of my code. I took out the gadget and sound playing bits, as I don't think they would effect it at all.

Server
Global NewMap Users.S()
#MSG_WAITALL=$8
Declare Main()
Procedure Main()
OpenConsole("Talk Server.")
InitNetwork()
Protected Port=6832
Delay(50 ...

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not surprised, but personally think it's stupid that just because something like this *IS* illegal in the U.S., and not necessarily in other countries, it's banned globally.
Also, you can do
pip install youtube-dl
and all the code will be in PathToYourPython/lib/site ...

This just... Wow. I can not believe it.

I think it's just TCP, I just used InitNetwork() and OpenNetworkConnection().

Okay,
Firstly, no, the issue is if more than one packet is sent at aaround the same time, the text from them gets mashed.
And second, I'll take a look at that lib.
Thanks all for the suggestions!

+50 from me.

So I have an application that uses networking, E.G., initNetwork(), NetworkServerEvent() etc etc. However, I am having issues with Packet mixing. E.G., if two packets are sent at the same time, the text get scrambled together. I tried to solve it with a delay but this makes it lag, for quite obvious ...

Fun fact, I actually modified the Narrator Screen Reader in this release, built it, and managed to get a fully working Virtual Machine of Windows Server 2003 from source code!

Hi.
From what I've seen, gadget tooltips can read, if the setting is turned on. So this does work, however, I doubt many people will put one...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I will look at these!

Hello,
ButtonImageGadgets are not currently accessible to screen readers, as would be expected, as they simply have images, which screen readers can't read.
It would be great if an optional parameter could be added to them, Text, similar to ButtonGadget's text, so I could tell what the buttons were ...
