Whack a Braille!

• Added new Character Echo checkbox next to the Voice Selection menu. This makes the speech say the Nato alphabet version of the Grade 1 characters if folks have trouble parsing the speech.
• The Backslash (\) key now exits the Training mode.

How to Play

1. Listen for the letter, number, or braille character and whack it by tapping the matching key or braille chord before the mole disappears. The game defaults to QWERTY input, and you can change input to Perkins Home Row keys in the Game Settings.
2. For Perkins input: Dot 1 in F, Dot 2 is D, Dot 3 is S, Dot 4 is J, Dot 5 is K, and Dot 6 is L.
3. Each mole always represents exactly one braille cell, and only one chord or key is ever needed.
4. For number modes, the number sign is not used during gameplay.
5. The moles pop up faster and faster as the round goes on, so stay sharp.
6. At the end of the round, cash in your tickets for a prize or keep playing to whack more moles.
7. You get bonus tickets per round for hitting a streak of 5 moles or more, and Speed bonuses for how fast you hit the moles when they pop up.
8. Enjoy your prizes on your Prize Shelf, which will persist every time you come back to the game until you clear the shelf.
9. Training Mode Difficulty: practice your typing or braille entry by whacking 15 moles without a timer. You don't get a score nor any tickets, but it's a great way to work on your skills before going into the main game. Training mode also has a Speak Braille Dots toggle in Game Settings, further helping you learn along the way. Training mode works with any Braille and Typing mode.
10. For Jaws and NVDA users on Windows: be sure to enter Forms or Focus mode when the game starts.
11. Use a standard keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard on a mobile device in order to play. Due to HID limitations, external braille displays won't currently work with the game unless they send keyboard-only input.
12. Choose your preferred voice and speech rate based on your system language in Game Settings.
