What is AudioQuake?
====================

AudioQuake is essentially a series of modifications to the game Quake
by id Software that enable blind and vision-impaired people to play it.
It is based on our earlier game, AccessibleQuake, and already provides
you with the ability to play Quake.  However, when AudioQuake reaches
version 1.0.0, it will provide the following outstanding new features:

* Full Internet multiplayer support - play with and against your friends
on-line!
* ``Implicit Accessibility'' - Enhanced fun and better accessibility
provided by 3D sound and special effects (currently the game uses stereo).
* Accessible level editing!

This version fully supports Internet play.  The other two features
mentioned above will be implemented as we reach 1.0.0.

There is a lot more to AudioQuake than this - the fact that it is Free for
everyone to use and modify along with the fact that it is a conversion of
a game that only sighted people were able to play.  The full user manual
(details follow) explains these points in more detail.


Learning and Using AudioQuake
==============================

This is not the full documentation for AudioQuake - the user manual and
reference explains how to install, set up and play the game (along with
many other things).  There are a number of sources of knowledge and help,
which you we strongly recommend you take advantage of:

* The Community & Support section of our web site.  This can be reached
at http://www.agrip.org.uk/CommunityResources

* In the ``AudioQuake-manual'' directory where you installed AudioQuake,
you'll find a multiple-page version.  To read it, open the ``index.html''
file.

* There is also a single page version - open
``AudioQuake-manual-singlepage.html'' in the directory where you installed
AudioQuake.

You can also read the latest manuals on our web page, at the following
address:

The manual was written in DocBook XML and has been converted to HTML for

the navigation accessible but if you have any suggestions, or would like
the manual in any other format, please contact us.
