Accessible 2048 (self.Blind)
submitted by mooooolissa
Hi all! Does anyone remember the game 2048? Well if you haven't, it's a puzzle game that incorporates math and matching multiples of 2, in order to reach the highest number you can.

I'm currently on a team in Silicon Valley and we created a prototype of 2048 that is accessible to those who are color deficient or need to use screen readers.

We experimented with more contrasting colors and adding patterns to the background so that it's easier to differentiate. We've also incorporated ARIA as a screen reader so it's accessible to those have low vision/blind. It's nowhere near finished, but I would really appreciate some feedback regarding your experience playing the game!

$1 to the game, it's only available on web as of right now. Thanks all!

How exactly can you use a screen rader to move the tiles? It seems like you either have to use the arrow keys (and not get any auditory feedback) or switch between reading the cells and then making one move at a time.

You should make it an app and maybe add voice commands
