EA1.2.41 Colorblind mode: Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia

Patch Notes – Color Blind Accessibility Update (Beta)

This update introduces color blind accessibility options aimed at improving clarity, contrast, and visual consistency across the entire game. Even without enabling a color blind filter, many players should notice general visibility improvements.

What’s new

• Color Blind Modes added to Settings

  • Tested against the three main types of color blindness:

    • Protanopia

    • Deuteranopia

    • Tritanopia

Visual improvements

• Clearer distinction between the four core quantum colors

• Consistent color logic in simulations

  • Real components use blue tones

  • Imaginary components use yellow tones

  • Previously, negative real values could visually resemble imaginary components in some situations

• Updated gate icons and supporting graphics

  • Improved contrast

  • Better visual consistency across the UI

• Circuit Machine frame adjusted

  • More neutral appearance

  • Reduced visual distraction so focus stays on the circuit itself

Important note – Beta status

This feature is currently in beta.

Color blindness simulations were created using a mix of Photoshop filters and online tools. While a lot of care went into tuning contrast and values, simulations are not a perfect substitute for real world perception. Small differences in how individuals perceive color may still cause issues in certain edge cases.

• If something looks confusing

• If two colors are still hard to distinguish

• If a filter makes things worse instead of better

  Please report it! Feedback here is extremely valuable.

This was a very fiddly update to get right, and real player input will help refine it further.

Some changes to wording and puzzle setups, as always - super happy to see though that newcomers are now advancing more than ever in the quest to master quantum computing.

And before I forget:

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
