💡 What

Added ARIA live region attributes to the Mario game score counter.

🎯 Why

The score counter updates dynamically via JavaScript without a full page reload. Screen readers needed a way to be notified of these ongoing changes so visually impaired users can track their progress during gameplay.

📸 Before/After

No visual changes.

♿ Accessibility

  • Added aria-live="polite" so screen readers will announce score changes without rudely interrupting current speech.
  • Added aria-atomic="true" to ensure the entire updated score text (e.g., "Score: 5") is read, rather than just the changed parts.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 18360206081297869455 started by @EiJackGH

Added `aria-live="polite"` and `aria-atomic="true"` to the score counter
in `src/views/mario-game.njk` to ensure screen readers announce score
updates correctly.
