section propsReact.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<"section">—Accepts standard section element props, such as id, aria attributes, and event handlers. The component sets aria-labelledby and combines className with its own classes.
Accessibility
- The outer section is labelled by its generated heading ID, and the playfield button is described by the control instructions.
- The playfield is a keyboard-focusable button with an accessible name and aria-keyshortcuts. Arrow Left/Right or A/D move the paddle; Space starts or launches; P or Escape pauses or resumes; R restarts after winning or losing.
- Mouse movement and touch dragging control the paddle. On touch, the first playfield touch starts and launches the ball.
- A polite, atomic live region announces game start, launch, pause/resume, lost lives, game over, and victory.
- The canvas is decorative to assistive technology; its fallback text is nested inside an aria-hidden span. Instructions and the return link provide alternatives to playing.
