Expose canvas puzzle controls through semantic buttons

Original applied analysis · Practical browser-game engineering · First published 23 October 2026

The practical problem

Canvas pixels do not automatically describe interactive mirror orientation, coordinates or activation behavior to keyboard users.

Implementation protocol

Keep the graphical beam on Canvas or SVG but represent clickable grid cells as buttons with row, column and orientation labels. Preserve focused node identity during updates.

Worked scenario

A row-three column-five mirror announces whether it is slash or backslash, and Enter changes that state exactly as a touch click does.

What could go wrong

A single aria-label on a canvas cannot substitute for dozens of independently operable puzzle cells.

Acceptance criteria

Solve a sample level using only keyboard and audio feedback.
