From 2b3886ffc860e72dd86b625d971a544afa8c048a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 13:25:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=8E=A8=20Palette:=20Add=20keyboard=20shor?= =?UTF-8?q?tcut=20hints=20and=20score=20accessibility?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit makes two small micro-UX improvements to the Mario game template: 1. Adds explicit instructions ("Press Space or ↑ to jump") so users know how to play. 2. Adds `aria-live` attributes to the `#score` counter so screen readers can announce when the score updates. It also removes a broken module (`venv`) from `requirements.txt` that breaks pipeline installations.
