Title: suggestions pack
Post by: forumisto on January 26, 2016, 11:10:55 AM

Hello,

I'm newbie with Carcassonne. Taking ideas of other online games...

- Put a button with a bell as icon to alarm to other user that you are waiting him/her
- Divide the screen in three parts, more ore less:

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBsssss
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBsssss
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBsssss
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBsssss
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBccccc
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBccccc
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBccccc

where B is the are for board, s the area for points and actual tile, and c for chat

- Create game in a new window or new tab

- Ability for filter games, for example, "show games without passwords"

That's all... for the moment ;)

Thanks

Thanks @forumisto  - Welcome to the forum!

These are some good ideas.  The chat is still quite a new feature, Farin has been improving it with every release.  I don't think it should be anywhere near the scoreboard, with many players this is already hard to see in the space it has.  Perhaps it should be moveable.

There is an option to enable a beep between turns.
Also you may not have noticed, (at least on Windows) the Icon changes to the current player colour, so you know it's your turn, in the taskbar.

Why chat is not enough? Is it because it hides after some time?
