Hello, dear friends; I hope you are all doing well.
I’ve been a bit absent lately, but I’ve been keeping a close eye on the posts at AppleVis. I’ve noticed that there are far more posts from app and game developers these days than there used to be. So, I’m going to repeat a suggestion I believe I’ve made here before: how about an accessible fighting game—but one that’s different from the traditional ones?
What I have in mind—and always have—is something like a sword fight where you move your iPhone toward your enemies, simulating the motion of a real sword and using audio cues for guidance, yet something that sighted players can enjoy too. Of course, the idea isn't to actually crash two iPhones together—for heaven's sake! It’s just about moving the device toward the other while maintaining a safe distance. We could also attack virtual in-game enemies this way or battle friends online. Naturally, headphones would serve as the primary guide, alongside haptic feedback.
I could even get involved in the project myself, though coding isn't exactly my strong suit—even though I studied Systems Analysis and Development in college (which is actually where this idea first came to me).
Am I going crazy—as a professor once told me—or could this actually become a reality? I’d pay whatever I could to get my hands on something like this.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and I’ll leave you with a "see you soon!"

Your idea is super
Hi! It would be incredibly cool if someone took on the development of a game like that. You could also use the same principle to create a game where you control an airplane or a spaceship by tilting your iPhone. Although, that’s not nearly as cool as your sword idea!
love this idea
This would be AWESOME! I enjoy playing Chambara in Nintendo sports on the switch, and it works reasonably well since there are sound cues for successful hits and blocks, but an app for the phone that was designed with accessibility in mind would be even better! Especially if we could play against sighted players on equal ground.
