New Free Accessible Game, Terrestrial Invaders

Terrestrial Invaders is another take off the classic video game Space Invaders. This game includes several accessibility features that can be switched on
and off, both off-line and on-the-fly, such as:

List of 10 items
1. Adjustable game speed.
2. Adjustable size of all game graphics.
3. Separately adjustable FX, music and speech volume.
4. 2D sound for localizing objects on a 2D plane.
5. Presentation of spatially localised captions using text and / or graphics for visualizing all game sounds.
6. Reading aloud (for the visually impaired) and automatic scanning (for the motor-impaired) of the game menus.
7. Two high contrast modes (bright graphics on dark background and the inverse).
8. Two novel alternative types of audio descriptions that verbalise the relative position of attacking spaceships in relation to the player and warn for
incoming fire.
9. The option of using simple shapes (e.g., rectangles, ellipses) to render all graphic elements.
10. Controls can also be redefined, but currently this can only be done by editing the respective XML level description files.
