Computer games

The games are in Swedish. There are two categories of games:

• Image-based games (Spel med bilder)
  The image-based games are based on that the player has some sight because the interface is picture based. The image-based games are all played by using the mouse.
• Sound-based games (Spel med ljud)
  All the sound-based games have sound interfaces and are designed primarily for children that have no sight. The sound-based games are played via the computer keyboard because most visually disabled computer users avoid using the mouse.

The games have been designed for standard home computer equipment only; this means that users need a computer with a standard soundcard and a pair of headphones or loudspeakers to play the games. Since the games are web-based the computer can be either Macintosh or PC, as long as it is equipped with a web browser using the Flash plug-in.
The games can also be distributed on CD to be played in a web browser without an Internet connection.
