Announce progress accessibly

The problem

A visual HUD update may not be noticed by assistive technology.

Practical procedure

Place short, nonurgent state changes in a polite live region and avoid rewriting the entire page on every frame.

Worked scenario

After a pickup, announce 'Two of three cells collected' rather than reading every tile label again.

Acceptance check

Use a screen reader to check that announcements are useful and not repetitive.

Apply the method

Use the related interactive tool to try the concept on an inspectable example. Record the starting assumptions and expected result before changing settings, then compare what the tool actually does. Where the result differs, keep the release marked experimental and document the discrepancy.
