(Voicing) - Please remove repetition of last stop responses at ends of position/distance sliders #292

Closed terracoda closed 3 years ago

terracoda commented 3 years ago

In https://github.com/phetsims/gravity-force-lab-basics/issues/291#issuecomment-888333627, we noted a voicing issue for the move spheres slider interactions.

When a learner hits the edge, and tries to go beyond the min or max position, the last-stop-changing-force response repeats.

Please make it so, nothing voices after a learner hits the last stop.

Note that this is not an issue for the mass interactions. Nothing voices when trying to go beyond the max or min mass.

Additional comments: Hopefully, the visual design, the bump sounds and the "last stop" phrase indicate to learners they cannot explore further in that direction and getting not further feedback should make it clear that no further changes are happening.

In addition learners are able to access current state information by investigating the spheres, accessing the reading blocks (force or distance), and/or by playing the current details.

Done in the above commit. Will prepare a new version for review shortly.

@terracoda can you please review in this version? https://phet-dev.colorado.edu/html/gravity-force-lab-basics/1.1.0-dev.36/phet/gravity-force-lab-basics_en_phet.html

Sounds great @jessegreenberg. No repetition of force response, that is nothing after last stop. Thanks!
