WCAG 2.2 for game menus and UI

W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (a W3C Recommendation) are written for web pages. Most of them describe problems that game menus, HUDs, dialogs and settings screens have too. This page reads every success criterion as a rule for Godot UI, says how Godot 4.7 meets it, and where the kit checks it. The ui-accessibility skill is the short, working version of this page. Microsoft's Xbox Accessibility Guidelines, written for games, are mapped onto it near the end.

Sources: the criterion texts and the contrast and flash formulas come from W3C's machine-readable wcag.json. Every Godot property and default named here was read from Godot 4.7.2 itself (ClassDB, ProjectSettings, InputMap, the C# API documentation), and the skill's C# compiled against it, not taken from memory. Following WCAG makes a game easier to play; it is not a compliance claim, since WCAG does not define one for games.

How the words translate

WCAG says	In a game
web page	a screen: title menu, pause menu, settings page, dialog, HUD, shop
set of web pages	all the game's menus
keyboard interface	keyboard and gamepad focus navigation (the `ui_*` input actions), each on its own
CSS pixel	1 px at 1080p on a desktop monitor. CSS defines it as an angle (one pixel at 96 dpi, seen from 28 inches), so on a TV seen from the couch it is about 1.5 to 2 px at 1080p; on phones, a density-independent pixel
large-scale text	18 pt or 14 pt bold: 24 px, or 18.7 px bold, at 1080p. The Xbox guidelines, written for games, set it higher: 36 px on PC and 52 px on console (below)
change of context	leaving the screen, starting or loading a game, applying a display mode or language
status message	a toast or notice that appears without taking focus: "Saved", "Controller disconnected", an achievement
time limit	a menu that times out, auto-advancing dialogue, a timed prompt ("press within 5 s"), an idle kick
authentication	signing in to an online account
user agent	the engine and the operating system

Formulas

Contrast ratio (L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05), L1 the lighter colour's relative luminance. In Godot, color.SrgbToLinear().Luminance is exactly WCAG's relative luminance (checked to four decimals: #767676 on white is 4.54:1). Plain color.Luminance reads the sRGB values as linear and overstates dark greys by more than double.
Flash a pair of opposite luminance changes of 10% or more of full white, while the darker one is below 0.80. More than three in any one second fails, unless all the flashing at once covers no more than 25% of any 10 degree field of view. Saturated red flashes count separately. A full-screen flash is never small enough.

Every success criterion

Kind: Applies (as written), Transformed (the same need, in game terms), Not applicable (nothing like it in game UI). Checked by: look (screenshot critique against docs/STYLE.md), flows (a UI flow), review (an agent reading the scenes and code), doctor (a project setting it reads), proposed (see the end of this page). 4.1.1 Parsing is obsolete in WCAG 2.2 and left out.

Xbox Accessibility Guidelines

Microsoft's Xbox Accessibility Guidelines (XAG v3.2, 2023) are written for games, so where they are stricter than WCAG, follow them. Each guideline below is summarised from its own page (.../xag-deep-dives/xag-1NN-...), with the WCAG criteria it overlaps. Like WCAG, the XAGs say they are not a compliance checklist.

Where the XAGs are stricter than WCAG for game UI:

Text size (101). Minimum body height (ascender plus descender, not font size) at launch: 26 px at 1080p and 52 px at 4K on console and TV, 18 px and 36 px on PC and VR; on mobile 18 px at 100 DPI, scaling with DPI. Text scales to 200%, and icons scale with it.
Large text (102). Text counts as large, and may drop to 3:1 contrast, only from 52 px (console, 1080p) or 36 px (PC, 1080p), not WCAG's 24 px. Disabled text still needs 3:1. A high-contrast mode reaches 7:1 for every UI element. Contrast is measured against the lowest-contrast point of a non-solid background.
Flashes (118). Fail at about three flashes a second covering about 20% of the screen or more; saturated red flashes (R / (R + G + B) of 0.8 or more) fail at a lower luminance change; high-contrast striped patterns over 20% of the screen fail too.
Menus (112, 113). Linear menus loop from the last item to the first; grid menus do not; an option turns looping on or off. A GDC talk adds that a wrap needs a cue, a sound or a rumble, or blind players lose their place, and that menus keep the same items every time (AAA gaming while blind). A dialog takes focus on its first control and keeps it inside until closed. Every submenu has a constant way back. The way to the accessibility settings is accessible from the first launch.
Touch (107). Touch targets at least 15 mm on phones (59 px at 100 DPI) and 24 mm on tablets, resizable and movable by the player; activation on release.
Confirmations (115). No hold-to-confirm for destructive actions; offer another way.

XAG	For menus, HUD and settings	WCAG
101 Text display	Minimum body height above; scaling to 200% without two-way scrolling; a sans-serif option and a plain alternative to stylised fonts; sentence case available; text aligned to the language, not centred or justified, in long text; line width at most 80 characters (40 CJK), line spacing 1.5	1.4.4, 1.4.8, 1.4.10, 1.4.12
102 Contrast	4.5:1, large text 3:1 at the sizes above, disabled text 3:1, placeholder text 4.5:1, a 7:1 high-contrast mode that follows the system setting, player-chosen text and background colours, no text inside images except logos	1.4.3, 1.4.6, 1.4.11, 1.4.5
103 Additional cues	Critical visual information also through sound or haptics; critical sound also visual; colour never alone, and greyed-out options also get a lock icon or "Not available"; player-chosen colours for key markers	1.3.3, 1.4.1
104 Subtitles and captions	Subtitles for all speech with speaker names, on at first launch or offered before the first cinematic; captions for important sounds, by category; at most 40 characters a line and 2 lines; mixed case; a solid background with 0 to 100% opacity; a preview of the settings. GDC talks add 46 px at 1080p (never under 28, checked by the `textsize` runner), 38 characters, bottom centre, new lines entering at the bottom: docs/gdc/subtitles-are-changing.md	1.2.2, 1.2.4
105 Audio	Separate volume and mute for music, voice-over, gameplay effects, ambient effects, narration and voice chat; a mono option; pausable audio and cinematics; ducking when a screen reader speaks	1.4.2, 1.4.7
106 Screen narration	All UI text can be read aloud (platform screen reader first); controls announce type, value and position ("Music volume, slider, 52%", "Tab, 1 of 3"); narration stops when focus moves; decorative images are silent; recurring states (loading) re-read every 7 to 10 s	1.1.1, 1.3.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3
107 Input	Menus work with single, non-simultaneous presses, digital and analog, and keyboard only; full in-game remapping including each stick's axis inversion, with prompts updated; no required holds, mashing or chords; pointer actions on release; analog sensitivity at least plus or minus 50%	2.1.1, 2.1.4, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.5.4, 2.5.7
108 Difficulty	Ideally four or more presets, described respectfully; changeable at any time without losing progress; per-mechanic assists; manual and automatic saves; pause at any time, cinematics included	2.2.1, 2.2.2
109 Objective clarity	Current objectives reviewable at any time, a log of completed ones, numeric progress ("3 of 5"), optional hints after no progress, descriptive saves (screenshot, time, place, summary), tutorials available on demand	2.4.8, 3.3.5
110 Haptic feedback	Can be turned off and scaled; never the only channel. A GDC talk adds patterns that each mean one thing, told apart by count, motor or length, and settings per player: docs/gdc/aaa-gaming-while-blind.md, `examples/csharp/src/Example.Core/Controls/Haptics.cs`	2.5.4 (partly)
111 Audio description	Described cinematics, or a full transcript	1.2.3, 1.2.5, 1.2.7
112 UI navigation	Consistent order and button prompts on every screen; digital-only navigation; looping rules above; more than one way to find things in large sets (filters and search in inventories); a constant way back	2.4.3, 2.4.5, 3.2.3, 2.1.2
113 UI focus handling	A highly visible focus indicator that never disappears or moves off screen; dialogs trap focus until closed	2.4.7, 2.4.11, 2.4.13
114 UI context	Where you are in the menus; context changes the player did not start are announced; labels next to what they label; same icon and word for the same action; jargon explained; settings previewed in a realistic scene	2.4.2, 2.4.6, 3.2.4, 3.1.3, 3.1.5, 3.3.2
115 Error messages	Errors explained in text and narration, at the place they occurred, visually distinct; review and undo before deleting or changing saved data, purchases and selling; no hold-to-confirm	3.3.1, 3.3.3, 3.3.4
116 Time limits	As WCAG, plus on-screen durations (tutorial text, dialogue, chat) adjustable to ten times or until dismissed	2.2.1, 2.2.3
117 Visual distractions and motion	Moving or auto-updating UI can be stopped; camera shake, bob, motion blur avoidable or adjustable; field of view and camera sensitivity settings	2.2.2, 2.3.3
118 Photosensitivity	Flash, red flash and pattern limits above	2.3.1, 2.3.2
119 Chat	Speech-to-text and text-to-speech chat, narrated incoming messages and emotes	1.2.4
120 Communication experiences	The whole path to chatting (menus, matchmaking, friends, muting, reporting) meets the other XAGs. In the US the CVAA requires it for chat between people (`legal` section 7); what accessible chat looks like: `.agents/skills/multiplayer/chat.md`	(none)
121 Accessible feature documentation	A web page per game describing its accessibility features, before purchase, in every shipped language	(none)
122 Accessible customer support	Support reachable by more than one accessible channel	(none)
123 Mental health best practices	Content warnings before purchase and in game, an advisory at launch, options to reduce or skip sensitive content, helplines reachable from anywhere	(none)

Game Accessibility Guidelines

The Game Accessibility Guidelines, written by studios, specialists and academics, list 111 guidelines in three levels (basic, intermediate, advanced) across motor, cognitive, vision, hearing and speech. The site states no licence for its text, so this page summarises and links rather than copying it. Most of the basic and intermediate guidelines that concern menus, HUD, input and subtitles are already covered by a WCAG or XAG row above. These are not, and the kit adds them:

Guideline (level)	For menus, HUD and settings	Godot 4.7
Adjust the game speed (basic)	A game-speed setting, for example 50 to 100%	`Engine.TimeScale`
Settings are saved (basic)	Every setting survives a restart	`ConfigFile` saved under `user://`
Start without many menus (basic)	Continue or Play has focus on the title screen and starts the game in one or two presses	`GrabFocus()`
Accessibility features explained in game (basic)	An accessibility settings page with a description of each option
Field of view default (basic)	A default that suits the platform (TV or desk)	`Camera3D.Fov`
Speech input never required (basic)	No action bound only to speech
Subtitles on before any sound (intermediate)	The subtitle choice comes before the first sound, logos included; stricter than XAG 104
Reminder of controls (intermediate)	A controls page in the pause menu, built from the input map so it follows remapping	`InputMap.ActionGetEvents`
Rearrange interfaces (intermediate)	HUD layout presets, or HUD elements the player can move
Windowed mode on PC (intermediate)	A display-mode setting that includes Windowed, for on-screen keyboards	`DisplayServer.WindowSetMode`
Stationary targets (intermediate)	Buttons and menu options do not move or bounce while they can be clicked
Essential information near the eye-line (intermediate)	Warnings and short-lived prompts near the centre or the action, not in the corners
Not text alone (intermediate)	Instructions pair text with an input glyph, an icon or speech
Screen reader support (advanced)	Beyond menus, the game world: one assist action speaks the focused object's state, name and short description, and stops it when pressed again; other audio is ducked meanwhile (Cosmonious High)	`DisplayServer.TtsSpeak`, with `audio/general/text_to_speech` on (`doctor` warns)
Highlight important words (intermediate)	Key terms in tutorials and prompts in bold, not by colour alone	`RichTextLabel` BBCode
Interactive things look interactive (intermediate)	Objects in the world the player can use are highlighted or prompted, like focused controls
Distinct sounds (intermediate)	Each key event has its own sound
Presets and changed settings (a GDC talk, not a guideline: God of War Ragnarok's UI)	Presets by need (vision, hearing, motion, motor) set several options at once; every setting that differs from its default is marked with colour and a symbol; a setting players miss is listed in both categories; text size on the first-launch screen	a plain C# model: `examples/csharp/src/Example.Core/Settings/GameSettings.cs`

Checks the kit could add

Each is small. Item 2 now exists in doctor; the others do not yet.

Flash limit (2.3.1). The juice runner already has a timestamp for every [juice] feedback flash line: fail any one-second window with more than three. For recorded footage (Movie Maker, a trailer capture), EA's IRIS (github.com/electronicarts/IRIS, BSD 3-Clause, C++ built with CMake and vcpkg, with an example console app) reads a video and writes a per-frame CSV of luminance flashes, red flashes and harmful patterns; recommended by the cognitive accessibility panel at GDC 2024 (docs/gdc/folds-testing-misc.md). Not tried here: it needs a native build.
Gamepad can press and go back (2.1.1), screen readers on (4.1.2). Done: doctor warns when ui_accept or ui_cancel has no joypad button in project.godot, and when accessibility/general/accessibility_support is Disabled or the accessibility driver is dummy.
A UI scan inside Godot (1.1.1, 1.4.3, 1.4.11, 2.4.7, 2.4.11, 2.5.2, 2.5.8). Load each UI scene at the design resolution and walk its controls: icon-only buttons without a name or tooltip, focusable controls under 24 x 24 px, an empty focus stylebox, buttons acting on press, scroll containers that do not follow focus, and the contrast of each label's font colour against a StyleBoxFlat behind it.
Focus in flows (2.1.2, 2.4.3, 3.2.1). A flow step that asserts which control has focus, so "Back returns focus to the button that opened the dialog" becomes a test.
Palette contrast in /look (1.4.3, 1.4.11). Compute the ratio of every text colour against every background in docs/STYLE.md instead of judging it by eye.
