Painstakingly recreated and updated for OS X, Pathways into Darkness is now free and available for ancient grizzled fans and newcomers to the series. Sixty-four million years ago, a large extra-terrestrial object struck the Earth in what would later be called the Yucatan Peninsula, in southeastern Mexico. As their stories interweave in love and hate, redemption and revenge, one threat will eclipse their greatest fears: a being of utter darkness and its imminent return. THE DARK THAT DWELLS: essential for readers craving robust, character-driven adventures on fantastic alien worlds, bullet-ridden spaceships barely held together, and the expansive. You can find frantic shooters, low-key indies, grand strategy behemoths, and much more for your Mac. Here are the best Mac games you should have in 2021. Darkness Dwells is a first person horror game, placing you in the eyes of a child trying to survive the night until your parents check in on you.

Universal Access

If you're looking for KeyStrokes and SwitchXS, with the release of MacOS High Sierra (10.13) Assistiveware has discontinued these products.

In the last few releases of macOS, Apple has been adding to and improving the accessibility utilities included in the operating system. There are macOS solutions for issues with mobility, blindness and low vision, and speech generation.

For mobility, macOS has an on-screen keyboard suitable for direct selection with a mouse emulator and one designed for scanning with one or more adaptive switches. Origin Instruments provides a head-tracking, mouse emulator known as HeadMouse and several adaptive switches and switch interfaces for computers, tablets and phones.

For HeadMouse

HeadMouse users should use the 'Accessibility Keyboard' designed for use with a USB mouse or USB mouse emulator. You find it by selecting the Accessibility icon in the macOS System Preferences

After opening the Accessibility window scroll down the left side of the window and select the 'Keyboard' option. Then on the right side of the Accessibility window you will see two options at the top, select 'Accessibility Keyboard.'

This will reveal the configuration settings for the Keyboard. Most mouse emulators, including HeadMouse have a 3.5mm jack for accepting up to two adaptive switches for entering mouse button clicks. If you cannot use an adaptive switch for mouse clicks then select the 'Dwell Options…' button to open the dwell configuration window.

Always use an adaptive switch for mouse clicks, if you can – it's easier.

Dwell Options will allow you to click, double-click and right-click (control-click) any item by hovering over it for a programmable time. You can even use dwell to select, drag and drop any object across the Mac desktop.

Use the dwell settings to control the dwell time. You can use different dwell times while hovering inside the panel (on-screen keyboard) verses other parts of the screen.

Another important setting is the Dwell movement tolerance. With a HeadMouse it's impractical to hold your head perfectly still to trigger the dwell selection so an adjustable tolerance is built-in. If you stay within the tolerance region for the dwell time a mouse click will occur. After a dwell click you have to move the mouse pointer out of the tolerance region to reset for another dwell click.

Finally, you can modify the default panel (keyboard) layout or even create several custom layouts. Build different panels optimized for different applications or the task at hand. You can even make special keys for launching apps, and if you're really ambitious you can write your own applescripts and launch them with a custom key in your panel.

For Switch Scanning

Mac computers do not have an adaptive switch interface. One must be provided with the adative switch. Virtually all adaptive switches use a 3.5mm (1/8-inch headphone) audio connector. Even though they fit, these adaptive switches do NOT plug into the headphone jack on your device (computer, tablet or phone).

Swifty and Tapio are USB interfaces for connecting adaptive switches to a Mac computer (actually, almost any computer, tablet or phone). We offer Orby, our colorful button-style switch and two styles of a sip and puff switch.

macOS provides a simple, but powerful access solution that uses one or more switches to control the sequential scanning of an on-screen panel (keyboard). When operating in Auto scanning mode and the button you want is highlighted you press your adaptive switch to select it. The panels have a regular array of buttons with standard alphanumeric, punctuation, special function and mouse pointer control keys. You can even make special keys for launching apps, and if you're really ambitious you can write your own applescripts and launch them with a custom key in your panel.

You find Switch Control by clicking on the Accessibility icon from the System Preferences screen.

After opening the Accessibility window scroll down the left side of the window and select the 'Switch Control' option. This will open the 'General' settings for configuring Switch Control. This tab is where you launch Switch Control.

This screen is also where you launch the Panel Editor if you want to make your own custom panel (keyboard layout). Shown in the Panel Editor screen below is a special panel to facilitate navigating the mouse pointer and generating various mouse button button functions – clicks, double clicks and drags. Of course you can make traditional text centric layouts as well, such as alphabetical.

Check the Enable Switch Control checkbox to launch Switch Control, but before you do, you should configure your adaptive switch(es) and adjust the utility settings.

Click on the Switches tab to add and configure your adaptive switch(es). This screen is where you tell Switch Control how to use built-in buttons (mouse or hard keyboard) or external adaptive switches to scan the panel (on-screen keyboard) and macOS interface. It is also where you adjust some of the timing parameters for scanning, by clicking on the Timing... button near the bottom of the screen.

If you can, use two-switch scanning – it's easier.

The configuration shown below is for two switch scanning - one switch selects items and the second switch moves to the next item in the scan order. The scan order is how the highlight moves between keys on a panel (on-screen keyboard) or items in a program. This scan order is definded in advance and usually cannot be changed by the user. Two switches are Required and in the screen below the first external switch is labeled 'switch1,' the second switch is also external and it is labeled 'switch2.' switch1 is assigned the function of 'Select Item' and switch2 is assigned the function of 'Move To Next Item.'

As the assigned functions imply, you repeatedly tap switch2 to move from item to item and when the highlight is on the item you wish to select you tap switch1. If the highlighted item you selected was a panel key (on-screen keyboard key) for a letter that letter would be sent to whatever application on your device has focus.

For Auto scanning all you need is one adaptive switch. Tap the switch and Switch Control will automatically move the highlight from one item to the next. When the item you wish to select is highlighted, you tap your switch again to complete the selection.

Select the Timing… button to control how fast the Auto scanning highlight moves through the panel keys or other items in the user interface.

Darkness Dwells Mac Os X

A gliding & rotating cursor are two different methods of moving the mouse pointer to any arbitrary location on the screen.

Gliding cursor allows you to position a vertical and then a horizontal line on the screen and the mouse pointer is moved to where they cross. First tap your switch to start the vertical line sweeping across your screen. When it crosses where you want to position your mouse pointer, tap your switch. Next, the horizontal line starts sweeping down your screen. Tap your switch again when this line crosses where you want your mouse pointer. Then you can perform a mouse operation – click, double-click, etc.

A rotating cursor draws a line from the current mouse pointer location and sweeps the line across the desktop in a circle. When it crosses where you want to position your cursor you tap you switch and the pointer moves down that line. When it arrives at the desired location, tap you switch again to position the mouse pointer. Then you can perform a mouse operation – click, double-click, etc.

Automating your home—so the lights turn on automatically when darkness falls, the heat turns on a half an hour before you’re due home, or a security camera watches the house while you’re out—isn’t that hard to do. With a spare Mac and a bit of extra hardware, you can do it in a weekend.

What You Need

The Mac Any Mac that can run Mac OS X Panther (10.3) or later, and therefore has built-in USB ports, is a good candidate. You can use an older Mac, but you’ll also need a USB-to-serial converter. If you’re using OS 9, your software options will be limited.

X10 Modules You need hardware devices to connect your computer to your household appliances. For Mac users, the best choice is home-automation equipment that uses the X10 home-automation standard. While there are other technologies out there, X10 is the most cost-efficient and best supported; because it’s been around since the 1970s, there are plenty of compatible devices.

You’ll need an X10 module for each appliance you want to control. These modules are small boxes, about the size of two decks of cards, that you plug into the wall. You then plug the lamp (for instance) you want to control into the module. Each module is assigned a unique address, which your Mac uses when issuing commands. Those commands travel over your existing power lines. When a module is told to turn on, turn off, or dim a light, it does so by regulating the amount of power going to the lamp.

The best deals on modules are often at X10 Corporation’s Web site, but Smarthome has a larger and more sophisticated selection. Stores such as Radio Shack and Home Depot also usually carry a small selection.

X10 Interface You also need a way for your computer to communicate. Smarthome’s PowerLinc USB ($38) interface is the least-expensive option and a good choice if you want to ease into home automation. The similarly named PowerLinc Controller USB ($70) can also operate in a rudimentary fashion when it’s disconnected from your Mac (if you use the OS X-only application Indigo to set it up).

Mac Os Versions

For people who want to go beyond the basics, the ActiveHome Pro, from X10 Corporation ($49), can also work with wireless modules and security sensors. It’s frequently sold bundled with some X10 modules, which can save you money.

Software OS X users are lucky to have two flexible and well-supported home-automation applications: XTension, from Sand Hill Engineering ($149), has a long history on OS 9 and gives you powerful and flexible scripting options; Indigo, from Perceptive Automation ($90), conforms to the Aqua interface standard and lets you set up common automations without programming. Both work with Tiger, and both are available in free demo versions.

How to Do It

Probably the most common home-automation scenario for beginners is using a Mac to turn on lights, so it appears from the outside that someone is home. Unlike mechanical timers, the Mac doesn’t have to turn lights on at the same time every evening. (You can make the system activate at sunset as the seasons change.)

Let’s assume that you’re using two X10 lamp modules, one connected to a lamp in an upstairs bedroom, and one in the downstairs family room. Their X10 addresses are A10 and B5, respec-tively. You’ve connected your PowerLinc USB or ActiveHome Pro controller to a Mac, plugged the controller into a nearby electrical outlet so it can send and receive X10 commands, and configured either XTension or Indigo to use the controller you’ve selected.

Using XTension First, tell XTension about your lamps. Choose New Unit from the File menu. In the dialog box that appears, give the unit a name and a description. In the Address field, enter

. Under Unit Type, select X10; under Dimming Options, select Dimmable. Repeat this process to add the lamp in the family room, but use as the address. Click on OK to finish.

Then create a group that includes both of the lamps you added. Choose New Group from the File menu, give the group a name (such as Sunset Lights), and add the two lamps to the group by dragging them from XTension’s master unit list. Click on OK.

You’ll need to create a scheduled event that turns on the group shortly after sunset. Choose New Event from the File menu. Enter a name for the event, and choose Turn On from the Action drop-down menu. In the All Units pop-up menu, choose the Sunset Lights group. Select the Repeat Every option, and then select Sunset. (XTension uses your system settings to determine your local sunset time.) Finally, select Randomize option and enter a number, such as 15. This will cause the event to occur anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes before or after sunset, so the schedule is less predictable.

After you click on OK, you’ll see the new event in the Scheduled Events window, along with the randomized time that was selected for the next execution. As long as your Mac is on and XTen-sion is running, your lights will come on at the scheduled time.

Using Indigo Select New Device from the File menu. As with XTension, give the lamp a name and a description. Then select Lamp Module from the Type menu, and tell Indigo its address. When you’re done, click on OK and repeat for the second lamp.

Next, set up an action group that will turn both of your lamps on. Choose New Action Group from the File menu. Name the action Sunset Lights; then click on the New button to add the first action. In the Edit Action window that appears, select Send Device Action from the Type menu, choose Turn On under Action, and select your bedroom lamp from the Device list. Repeat these steps to add a second action that turns on the family-room lamp. Click on OK to finish.

Now set up an event that triggers your action group at sunset. Select New Time/Date Action from the File menu. In the Time/Date Trigger section of the window that appears, click on Sunset and enter

in the Randomize By field. Then click on the Action tab and choose Execute Action Group from the Type pop-up menu. Choose Sunset Lights from the Group pop-up menu and click on OK.

As with XTension, as long as your Mac is on and Indigo is running, your lamps should turn on at the scheduled time.

To fool thieves, have Indigo turn on your lights at a different time each night: when you set up a new action, use the program’s Randomize By field to set general parameters.Telling XTension about your lamps is easy: You give each one a name and unique X10 address and then tell the software about its capabilities.
