One of the controls listed is to use the middle mouse button (wheel?) to centre the board.
Can I request that there be a key assigned to this as well? Using the middle mouse button does not work on any of the PCs I am using. Perhaps the "C" key?
A second request - can the help screen be updated to include all keys? It is missing the Ctrl-Z for Undo. It may be missing others, I have not looked real close.
Thanks!

What I would really like would be the option, to flip the board in 90°. Sometimes games expands rather vertically than horizontally, and than it would come handy to do so, so you do not need to zoom out that much.

+2. I only have an 11-inch screen!

Houw about an auto-resize button, that will zoom to the optimum magnification to show all the board, plus centre the board?

I really would love to have the possibility to lock a game with a password. The last times when I wanted to play a private game with a friend of mine, there was always someone that wanted to take part by force. However, we didn't want to play with another person but couldn't do anything against the "gatecrasher". So we started to put all the other colours on "computer player" in order that he couldn't join the game and to give him the message "we don't want to play with you". Well, the person today got upset about that method and started the game while we wanted to set up the expansions. So we had to leave the "rotten" game, delete it, start a new one, set up the expansions and in the meantime he started the game again. And again we had to leave the game, delete it, start a new one, and so on. This happened a dozen of times. In the end we were quite desperate about not being able to play in peace, but at a certain point he gave up. Finally.
This is something really annoying, so I thought that there should be a possibility to start a game that I can lock with a password and people can only enter the "closed game" if they know the password.
I don't know, did that happen to someone else too?

This is a really funny story :)

Wow, and I thought I was desperate to play Carcassonne! Maybe you could have sent him a message by agreeing to play with him and then just totalling ganging up to trap all of his meeples? It's a shame really that he didn't have anyone to play with, but I can see how this would be annoying, especially if you'd been planning to play each other as a 2-player only.
Rather than passwords, how about the option to create a game as "invitation only" so that nobody can join it unless they are invited? One advantage of this would be that you don't have to pass the password to other players without certain players seeing it, but I guess either could achieve the same thing.
-
How would you pass an invitation? If that would mean, you have to register on twitter, facebook, etc., I would rather go with the password.

On the unofficial Facebook Carcassonne app (now renamed to something else but still exactly the same), you can start a new game but nobody can join it unless they are invited. You still have a view of the “lobby” where people might be chatting or waiting to join a game and you can invite them to your game by clicking on their name there.
Something like this could be implemented in JCZ without the need for any Facebook, Twitter or anything else for that matter. I can’t even imagine how that would work!
-
Yeah, I'm sorry for the guy too. This would also solve the problem. I think farin should implement the function, that is easier to realise.
-
I don't expect "game trolls" so early - i will make priority to secure private games.
Rotation etc, nice ideas, it shouldn't be hard
-
Yes we need definitely private games asap. Today a troll join league game (completely ignoring game name Farin vs B1nder), so i simply host it myself.
I will try to fix this in several days.

Thanks Farin! I'm glad that I'm not the only one that has to deal with these problems. ;)
-
Rotation etc, nice ideas, it shouldn't be hard
farin - how about right clicking on the desktop to rotate? That way it is consistent with rotating a tile.
Also: as far as a key to center, and a key to zoom - why one one key that does both? Optimize the display be centering and zooming to fit the screen.
-
right click on board still change action / rotate tile
current impl impl is
rotate: basic feature (no animation etc), key /
fake middle button - I added feature - right click + shift - simulate middle click -> move board
(i think it is not key feature, there are anotjer possibilities to move board - ASWD and dragging board with mouse)
i don't want to make big chaneges, 3.1.1 should be about bugfixes ("2-tiles" bug, phantom on abbey) and mainly hotfix
to add private game - which is last feature to add. Probably secure game with password, it's much easier to implment and to change UI then invitation model (which i personally like
and I will try add it too in future)
