[games_access] Re: audio: SVG Tetris: public domain?

[Jonathan Chetwynd]

Well the audio question does come up a fair bit...

SVG1.2 supports audio.

Currently the only popular browser not to support audio in SVG is  
mozilla.
However this support is not standards based.
The SVG support is native in Opera, Mozilla, and shortly Safari, with  
IE requiring the Adobe plugin.

Your Tetris didn't appear to have sound but let me know when you need  
pointers to sound support.

best wishes

Barrie, I love the work you guys are doing in the UK. I've lately  
seen some
wonderful work by Zach Lieberman and (I think) Soda, sponsored by the UK
lottery. We had a discussion about how it's tougher to get these art-AT
commissions on this side of the pond. I wish I could see your synth  
work in
person.

Jonathan, thanks for the info on SVG, I remember checking it out long  
time
ago but haven't used it so far. Does the language also include audio  
at this
point? I think that's an important component. Anyways - it's a good
alternative to consider for some of the macrodobe products : )

Hi Jonathan,

Yeah, I'm happy with tetris being in the public domain. Some of the
other SVG samples are taken from elsewhere (like the butterfly and
the tiger), and I believe them to be in the public domain, but I
wouldn't like to be held accountable for that :-)

Cheers,
Alex
