rbx-accessibility

When to load

Every UI token pass (the floor below is part of the token contract), any settings-menu build, any screen-shake/flash effect, and any player report containing "can't read", "can't tell apart", or "makes me dizzy".

Color: meaning never rides on hue alone

Roughly 1 in 12 male players has some color vision deficiency — on a 40-player server that's 2–3 people who cannot parse red-vs-green.

• Every color-coded meaning gets a second channel: icon, shape, label, position, or

pattern. Rarity = stroke color + a named tag ("LEGENDARY") + glow intensity. Teams = color + team icon over the head. Danger zones = red tint + hazard stripes.

• Ban the red/green pair for opposing states. Blue/orange is the safe opposition; it

survives protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia.

• Health bars: pair the green→red drain with a numeric or fractional label, or make the

bar length itself the signal (length reads fine colorblind).

• Test: Studio has no colorblind simulator — screenshot the UI and desaturate it. If two

states become identical in grayscale, they were color-only.

Text: scaling with bounds, contrast with a number

• Body text ≥ 14pt equivalent at 720p; never below 13. Buttons and HUD numerals ≥ 16.
• TextScaled = true always pairs with UITextSizeConstraint (MinTextSize 14,

MaxTextSize 28–36 by role). Unbounded TextScaled gives billboard text on tablets and ant text in squeezed cards — both are AI-tells.

• Contrast: 4.5:1 minimum for body text, 3:1 for large display text (the WCAG numbers;

compute from the actual hex pair, don't eyeball). Text over 3D scenes or busy art gets a backing plate (dark fill, 0.3–0.5 transparency) or a 2px UIStroke — thin light fonts floating over gameplay fail on every sunlit map.

• Fonts: geometric/rounded faces (GothamMedium and heavier weights) at UI sizes; decorative

faces only for titles ≥ 24pt.

Motion: a reduce-motion toggle is a settings-menu law

• Ship a Reduce Motion toggle in settings (rbx-ui-settings), stored per player. When

on: screen shake amplitude → 0, camera bob/tilt off, full-screen flashes replaced with a ≤ 0.15s 20%-opacity vignette pulse, parallax/idle UI drift off. Gameplay-critical telegraphs stay — swap the motion for a static indicator, never delete the information.

• Flashing above 3 flashes per second is a photosensitivity hazard and a moderation risk —

cap all strobe-like effects below it even with the toggle off.

• Every rbx-juice-screenfx consumer routes amplitude through one shared

MotionSettings attribute so the toggle actually reaches all shake/flash call sites.

Sound and haptics: never the only channel

Deaf and muted-phone players are the majority of mobile sessions. Every audio cue that carries gameplay information (incoming attack, purchase success, timer end) pairs with a visual: a flash on the damage source, a checkmark burst, a color change. Sound is reinforcement (rbx-psych-feedback), never the sole signal.

Sharp edges

• CRITICAL — Rarity, team, or danger encoded only by color: unplayable for 8% of the

audience and invisible in grayscale screenshots. Add the second channel.

• HIGH — TextScaled without UITextSizeConstraint: text size becomes a function of

container size, which becomes a function of device — unreadable at both extremes.

• HIGH — Full-screen white flashes or strobes above 3 Hz on hit/reward effects:

photosensitivity hazard, moderation exposure, and it reads as cheap juice anyway.

• MEDIUM — A reduce-motion toggle that only some effects respect: worse than none,

because the player turned it on and still got shaken. Route all motion through one gate.

• MEDIUM — Contrast checked on the designer's bright monitor: compute the ratio from

hex values; 4.5:1 is arithmetic, not taste.

Load with

rbx-ui-tokens (the floor lands in the token contract — don't ask, include it), rbx-ui-settings (the Reduce Motion toggle lives there), rbx-juice-screenfx (shake/flash must route through the gate), rbx-ui-mobile (touch targets and safe areas), rbx-localization (shared TextScaled bounds).
