I'm visually disabled, I see 10% on one eye, and that's about it. What would be good is if you hold down the CTRL key the map is zoomed all the way on to the currently active player. This way it will make things easier to see where it is. Often I jump into water trying to detect where my player is. The arrow must be much more pronounced when your hedgehog is selected. A flashing arrow 4x in size would not hurt a bit.

I understand your point, Me being slightly vision impaired gives me some issues sometimes, There should be multiple Accessibility modes

Colorblind mode
Larger Fonts
Larger indicator with flashing hog outline

It would be nice if others could state there wants and don't wants here aswell
You've opened my eyes to the lack of accessibility in Hedgewars, I might try to create a lua script for an example

Hi there!

Finding the active hedgehog seems to be a general problem to people.
Your suggestion about holding a key to zoom in on it is something worth considering, thank you for your input.

However, there is already a way to have the camera assist you in finding it: If you press the H-key (auto-camera key) twice - it will center on the active hedgehog Smile
