💡 What

  • Added a visible on-screen instruction panel explaining the keyboard controls for the game ("Press Space or Up Arrow to jump").
  • Added aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" to the dynamic score counter.

🎯 Why

  • Without explicit visual instructions, users had to guess which keyboard inputs would trigger an action in the game. Adding explicit instruction text eliminates this friction.
  • Previously, screen readers would not dynamically announce the score updates when they changed during gameplay.

📸 Before/After

  • Before: A blank game UI with only the score, and custom keyboard events requiring guesswork.
  • After: A translucent instruction panel is visible in the top right corner indicating the correct controls.

♿ Accessibility

  • Implemented aria-live="polite" on the score component so screen readers announce dynamic point changes as they happen without aggressively interrupting other critical browser announcements.

Added visible instructions for keyboard controls in the game view to help users
understand the custom interaction mapping. Also added aria-live attributes to
the score container to allow screen readers to accurately announce score updates.
