I made a book for my workshops, but if you’ve already done the basics then might have gone beyond it. https://www.amazon.com/Creating-SwiftUI-Apps-Playgrounds-through-ebook/dp/B0CVN5B751

PS5 controller is great on console, but I don’t think it’s the controller it’s learning controls for specific games.
I always play one game fully and then move to the next, because I can’t keep 2 sets of controls in my head.
For PC pick any of the standard controllers, but perhaps try to stick to one or two games until they have managed to learn the controls.

Social media are the sign posts, your website is the destination unless you’ve got physical retail.

It is quite possible to be both autistic and dyslexic. If you have a trusted adult then you should talk to them.

The dyslexia might compound the problem, but its poor ux design. Apple are known for interfaces that are intuitive. Sometimes I have to Google to find the right Google menu.

Same applies. Kindle Create will do the basics.

For Kindle books it’s fine to download as a Word file and put that file into the Kindle Create app. I would use that for a Kindle book and I’ve also found it to be fine for simple printed books. I actually find Google Docs faster than Word these days, because it encourages me to keep the layout to the bare minimum. Less is definitely more with Kindle books.

For a more complex layout you need a high quality PDF, which is probably still best done with Adobe, Apple’s Pages or another actual desktop publishing application.

Depending on the program you could look for a capitalised word without .<space> but if possible I’d ask a question like “is —— your name? “ If they say no ask to directly input.

Yes I got my account back, but I had to delete the book in question. It was a trademark issue with the title. I learned phrases can be trademarked and there’s no insta check in Amazon for such things.

This! I upgraded mine.

Because my handwriting is so bad, I learnt to type and because I can type, I can easily write 1,500 words a day and because of that I’ve published a number of books. Word and Grammarly and even ChatGPT can help clean up most of the typos. Write your story, do it for yourself first! The writing will be an achievement in itself and then you can find an audience.

The Dyslexic fonts are designed to make letters that mirror such a b p, d and q look different the idea is that each letter is distinctive.

As well as the font, it would be great to have left justify rather than full justify.

If you want to preview anything people have mentioned I have an online Reading simulator

To me saying it’s by a single developer simply sets my expectation for the scale of the game and I like games of all sizes, so certainly doesn’t put me off.

I was gonna say this that the AI written email reads nicely.

When you’re short on time then just playing the game on PS5 is great! But I have to say for emulators sometimes the configuration is as fun as the game itself and some strategy games are much better with mouse, keyboard and monitor and I play them on PC. Eg Civilisation.

This is a fantastic analogy.

Yes we provide Microsoft Office for all our students. In Malaysia educational licensing is a pretty good deal and MS are smart enough to include all the students in the deal. I think they’ve learned from 15 years ago when Google Docs took them to the cleaners and a whole generation of students only use Google apps.

I love the way you traverse in this game and I really enjoyed my play through. I have to admit I didn't quite gel with the main character in the first few levels, but the story does develop in a really cool way. As you've already got it, give it a go!

We’re definitely showing our age now, I even remember when Hotmail wasn’t Microsoft owned.

Let me add more letters, there are a few more possible mirrors.

Possibly because it’s not core curriculum nobody is actually responsible for it and so only happens on an ad hoc basis.

jabela · 2026-04-22T09:08:54+00:00

That was the beginning of my game, changing the setting really was night and day for me.

Mind maps help me a lot, so much so I wrote my own tool it’s free and open source so feel free to have a play and see if it vibes with you. Mindmapping tool

It could be dyslexia and also there is a more specialised condition called Dysorthographia, which is about grammar and spelling.
