[games_access] developing system for hearing impaired

[Javier Mairena]

Good work, but you choose green color to sign a good thing and red color to
a bad thing. I know this is a international concept, but a lot of people
have problems with that colors. I think is better to use blue and red, for
example.

> SoundSign icon system substitutes the information in a visual form.
