What we aim for PictoMyst aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA . That standard is not written into the law that applies to us — the Equality Act 2010 names no technical standard — but it is the yardstick by which "reasonable" is measured in practice.

What is already in place These are not intentions. Each one is enforced by an automated test that stops a release:

Text contrast — 374 text/background pairs across the whole interface are measured against the 4.5:1 threshold. Exceptions require a written reason. Every icon-only button has a name readable by a screen reader. Dialogs trap keyboard focus and carry the dialog role — both, because it is easy to do one without the other. Skip link to the main content in both layouts. Visible keyboard focus — a single rule guarantees it despite 85 places that remove the default outline. Every animation stops when your system asks for reduced motion, and there is now a switch in Account Settings that does the same without touching system settings. Every image carries alternative text. Touch targets of at least 24×24 px enforced globally, 44 px on game screens. State is never signalled by colour alone.

What is not there yet Honest list, kept current:

We do not test behaviour at 200% zoom or at a 320 px viewport. Nothing is known to break; it is simply unverified. The Arena match timer cannot be extended. WCAG allows this for real-time events, and single-player mode has no time limit at all — but if that ever changes, this exemption stops applying. Parts of the interface are still English only for players using other languages. Consent texts are translated; some headings are not yet. The site has not been tested with a real screen reader by a person who uses one daily. Automated checks are not the same thing.
