   somebody telling me they can't learn to code because they are dyslexic (but being blind apparently isn't an impediment.)
   
   i dunno about this. i feel like a spellchecker or similar would solve that but i'd need more details.

     there are a lot of people who "can't program" and its really just copey bullshit that they won't put in the effort. i know this because if you handed them klick and play, old game makers, or warcraft 3, or hell scratch and logo, they'd have the turtle doing basic little things soon enough.
     
     there may be real blockers but multimedia fusion launched may game designer's careers...

     @beardalaxy 1) they are blind, good job with the reading comprehension :blobcatnerd:
     
     2) apparently those don't work for any but the most basic cases

     @icedquinn they could just swap out the font for one that reads better for people with dyslexia, like opendyslexic

     @beardalaxy to be fair i don't really grasp the concept of blind dyslexia. they claim its why they typo a lot (though they mostly use speech to text which results in -other- hilarity.)
     
     i get that dyslexia is basically overdeveloped grid cells eating in to the space for other modules. they have trouble with small dimensional symbols because the brain is trying to encode them spatially (like ADHD has failed to prune the neural trees so they are overconnected and not properly being context boxed) but i don't know if this is just solved by a good auto complete (which i like flx matching anyway)
