Phrase speech bubbles #75

Open amyjko opened 1 year ago

amyjko commented 1 year ago

Allow phrases to have speech, showing a speech bubble, making it easy to do dialog and storytelling. Speech would be laid out with the phrase. This would just be another property on a phrase or group.

Design Idea: @amyjko @Joonpiter

Current Issues: Speech bubbles on the website are things that are not as obvious as a speech bubble. Initially, when I was testing the website it didn't occur to me that it was supposed to represent a speech bubble, rather it just felt like text on the screen. For this simple design idea, it was to make it more speech bubble-like so that users, especially in the ages of 11-15, understand that the icons are speaking to them with an icon that still fits with the aesthetic of wordplay.

Hi, overall this change looks good and doesn't break and of the accessibility standards were aiming for. Amy has to give the final approval, but I like this change

I think I need to clarify this issue: this was not about improving the visual design of speech bubbles (though that's a fine proposal to make). This was about letting Phrase output to have speech bubbles on stage. Imagine the letter 'a' having a conversation with the letter 'b' on stage.

If you want to propose this visual redesign of speech bubbles, open a new enhancement issue and propose that. This issue should remain about the extension of Phrase to include speech bubble support.

(Process hint for the future: always ask questions about an issue before doing a design: you want to make sure you understand the issue before designing for it, especially old issues like this one that are vague).

Initially, I thought this ticket was to re-design the speech bubbles in which the Stage characters use to talk to each other, however after clarification, it was to design for ex "A" to talk to "B" on the stage platform. Need to still finalize a design an output for these speech bubbles within stage.

@lasyasr, can you clarify whether you're continuing work on this issue? You're still assigned, which implies yes, but please unassign yourself if you are not.

I will not be continuing to work on this issue. I will unassign myself from the issue.
