💡 What

Added aria-live="polite" and aria-atomic="true" attributes to the #score div in src/views/mario-game.njk.

🎯 Why

When the player's score updates dynamically during gameplay, screen readers typically ignore the DOM change unless specifically instructed. Adding these attributes ensures the score update is announced gracefully.

📸 Before/After

No visual changes.

♿ Accessibility

  • Instructs screen readers to announce the score when it changes without interrupting the user unnecessarily (aria-live="polite").
  • Ensures the complete updated text (e.g., "Score: 1") is read out instead of just the number that changed (aria-atomic="true").

Added `aria-live="polite"` and `aria-atomic="true"` to the `#score` element in the Mario game UI to improve screen reader accessibility.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.

Removed the `venv` module from `requirements.txt` because it is a Python standard library module and its presence causes `pip install -r requirements.txt` to fail since it is not hosted on PyPI.
