Hi Ian, I like the sound of that compromise.I'm sort of game, time pending. I never seem to find enough time for things these days!
1. 4 years in C# .NET, 6 months commercial experience in that. Javascript for 8 years or so. Other than that, smatterings of Java, C++, Eiffel and Visual Basic. And a casual interest in anything else lol. 2. I think I'd like to make something more efficient for one unit turning into another, such as landing flying units that also have a ground movement mode, without going through the death/summon phase. Other than that, not sure yet.
I've also got a feature request, now you've mentioned about the SAPI thing. Could we use the ScreenReaderAPI if possible? I know it adds a few dlls to the distribution, but it'll mean people can use their own screen reader's voices. I got the idea from Branden (on AudioGames)'s audio review. I've written a wrapper for .NET, if it'll come in handy here. I'd trade off one of my list of 3 for that if I can, but I can't remember what my 3 were now anyway lol.
Hope this helps Craig
