The club really isn't for development in general but as it specifically relates to the site's API
so I dont know if it fits in here but I wanted to make a color blind mode which literally use color palletes so I have a few ideas
The goal is to make the chess board and etc easier to use
first of all we can literally add a theme aka color blind for the color blind (depends on if the staff will) and change the board and piece color but it will look crude
we can use this pallet as it is inclusive for all and easy to tell
The only problem is the pieces
For normal color blind it wont be a problem, for black and white color blind which has like 20 types so i didnt bother to type it out, it will because the shades look the same
So either we have to make sure the board has dark and light colors and the board has to have super semi light and super demi dark but its kinda hard to tell so im thinking maybe we can do a semi light and a dark but it might not work well
sub idea: i know this sounds weird but maybe we can add letters or shapes to the board to assist them
Idea 2: this is what i think is good
use super light colors on all squares
white so all can see well and then put dark pieces, one problem, how do we distinguish pieces, well then we have to put light pieces , bbut that wont work and i thought well hmm, i checked our chessboard.... THE PIECES WERE BORDERED
yes the white pieces
so what if we literally did that
they wont be able to tell the black border
we can replace the fill of the pieces for color blind to be fill with the custom hex
heres the plan
we have squares, white but in an alternating fashion some have borders(highlighted) to help them place pieces in the right square
white pieces have black borders which works in all squares
black pieces are black which work in all squares
viola
i was first confusing myself with designs that had white and black squares and god that broke my mind
