Brailliance

I was making a braille learning app when I came up with this game idea. You count the braille dots to guess the word. https://www.themisgames.com/brailliance/menu

Do you think it’s too hard? I want to experiment with ways to make it easier. I’m also actively working to add more iOS-specific VoiceOver support with a native app. Perhaps make the perkins input easier.

    Wow, that looks great! I was beginning to think you’d missed my comment, or, worse, that it was too annoying 😅

    Happy you managed to translate the acronyms and found some of it helpful; I spent way too much time on it 😅

    Think the changes are really good! Being allowed to enter words that don’t live up to the dot requirement really takes a lot of friction out of it and makes it so much more enjoyable!

    Looking forward to seeing future updates, keep up the good work!

    I actually stumbled upon a small issue: in Chrome on my Android phone, I’ve enabled a flag to force dark mode, and it doesn’t play nicely with the game. An edge-case for sure, but might be worth looking into. See screenshots below 😊

      That experimental flag is frustrating. I ran a quick test to see if it would honor the w3 dark mode guidelines and it doesn’t seem to on my test devices. Our game already asks the browser for the system theme preference and assigns dark mode accordingly. The flag set to force CSS changes might just never be compatible.
