From 3f7b1815708ac6e9621dd595432db8d82274d75d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:58:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=8E=A8=20Palette:=20Add=20ARIA=20attribut?= =?UTF-8?q?es=20to=20Mario=20game=20score?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Added `aria-live="polite"` and `aria-atomic="true"` to the dynamic score element in `src/views/mario-game.njk`. This ensures that screen readers announce score changes, making the game's state accessible to visually impaired users. Also documented this accessibility pattern in the Palette journal.
