accessibility updates for A HERO AND A GARDEN

Added 2020-01-19 12:30:01 +0000 UTC

hello! the past few days i've actually been working on accessibility updates for A HERO AND A GARDEN.

this is something i've wanted to do much earlier, but unfortunately i didn't have the means to do it before. (i'm honestly not very good at programming and it's something i'm still working hard to learn more about.)

in the current game, you have to click the berries to collect them, and the multiple clicking is not very user-friendly, because the berries are small on the screen and you have to click them many times.

instead, i've made it so that once you have 3 berries on 1 bush, a basket will appear on the side of the bush, and clicking this basket will collect all the berries on that bush. the basket is bigger which makes it easier to click.

i've also added a larger basket button in the bottom right which lets you collect all berries on screen. this button has a cooldown timer (currently set so you can only click once every 15 seconds but i'm still thinking about whether this is the best time for it) but it makes it easier to collect all the berries at once if you have come back to the game after leaving it alone for a while.

i will upload a build for 🍰 cake set patrons and above later this week so you can take a look at it! i'm not sure when i'll have the update public since i still want to tweak a few things though.
