Accessibility: Blind Users Cannot Access Card Flavor Text #1988

Open BlindGuyNW opened 4 years ago

BlindGuyNW commented 4 years ago

User Impact: Much of the enjoyment from games is found in the various bits of flavor text found on given cards.

Background: Arkham Horror, and presumably other games, has a lot of flavor text on its cards. At the moment it doesn't seem to be exposed to screen readers, thus making it a little less fun to play the game.

Expected Behavior: Expose the flavor text in the description or other means of communicating with screen readers.

the tooltip will not show any properties that are set to be hidden from the deck editor or from pile filters. Its something that has to be decided by the game developer

that is the current behavior, however this issue should server as a reminder that the content of the tooltip (and AutomationProperties.HelpText) should be directly configurable by the game devs, (e.g. through a list of properties defining the content and order of card text.) this should also serve as a reminder to encourage inclusion of flavor text in those properties (though probably last).
