Pundaze is committed to being accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for
all pun-lovers.
As a one-person team and first-time web developer, I'm constantly
learning and working to improve accessibility. Your feedback helps
make Pundaze better for everyone.
Visual Accessibility
I've implemented several features to improve visual accessibility:
-
Dark mode option to reduce eye strain in low-light environments
-
High contrast between text and background for improved readability
- Resizable text that scales with browser settings
- Alt text descriptions for all puzzle images
- Expandable images so you can zoom in on details
- Visual feedback for interactive elements
All colors have been tested to meet WCAG AA contrast standards for
text legibility.
Keyboard Navigation
Pundaze is designed to be fully navigable using just a keyboard:
-
All interactive elements are properly focusable using the Tab key
- Focus indicators are visible and clear
- Letter input boxes can be navigated sequentially
- All buttons can be activated using Enter or Space
-
Modal dialogs trap focus appropriately and can be dismissed with
Escape
Keyboard shortcuts are being considered for future updates to further
enhance accessibility.
Screen Readers
Ongoing improvements for screen reader compatibility include:
- Semantic HTML structure to provide proper document hierarchy
- ARIA labels for interactive elements
-
Descriptive alt text for puzzle images that balances information
with avoiding spoilers
- Announcements for dynamic content changes
- Error messages that are properly announced
Screen reader support is an ongoing focus area, with regular testing
and improvements.
Cognitive Accessibility
To make Pundaze accessible to players with different cognitive needs:
- Clear, consistent instructions and UI elements
- Unlimited hint system for additional help when needed
- No time limits on solving puzzles
- Simple, straightforward language in game instructions
- Error messages that clearly explain what went wrong
The unlimited hint system ensures that players of all abilities can
enjoy Pundaze at their own pace.
Future Accessibility Improvements
I'm committed to continuously improving accessibility. Planned
enhancements include:
- Ability to adjust font sizes and styles within the game
- Additional color contrast modes
- More robust keyboard shortcuts
- Improved focus management
These improvements will be implemented over time as resources allow.
