Accessibility

Our goal

We want JackiOh to be usable by as many players as we can make it. It has had an automated check against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at levels A and AA, and no audit by a person. We do not claim that it conforms to WCAG.

What we checked

On the date above we checked every screen with axe-core 4.14 in Chrome, against its WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 rules at levels A and AA, and fixed every serious or critical problem it found, except those listed below. The same check runs every day, and fails when a new one appears.

• The home page, signing in, creating an account, resetting a password, the invite code screen and the screen that asks for your date of birth and agreement to the terms.
• Play, Decks, Account and the leaderboard.
• The Almanac, Patch notes and Stats.
• Practice, its setup and a game, and a game on one device.
• The Privacy Policy, the Terms, this page and the Copyright page.

Current support

• Menus, the deck builder, and the board’s cards, zones and prompts can be used from the keyboard.
• Focused controls are marked, and each screen has headings.
• Card art is decorative and hidden from screen readers; each card’s name and text are on the card as text.
• Reduce motion, effects and sound can be changed in Settings.

Known gaps

• A card shown as a button, on the home page, in the Almanac’s card pool and in a game’s prompts, is named by a short summary that names the card, not by all the text on its face.
• Dragging a card to play it needs a mouse or a touch screen. Choosing the card and then where it goes does the same, by click or by Enter on each.
• With a mouse, the card names in the game log are closer together than 24 pixels; on a touch screen each line is 44 pixels tall.
• Colour contrast is checked only where the tool can measure it, so text over card art and gradients has not been checked.
• No one has tested JackiOh with a screen reader or other assistive technology yet.
