Should "Start here" button be "New Game"? #136

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Tested in Revision 224 (this is related to a change made under Revision 205).

The purpose/behaviour of the "Start here" button is not obvious. It opens the 
main menu, which I guess is trying to prompt the user toward selecting New 
Game, but it might be confusing for a new user (and isn't an android behaviour 
I've seen in other apps).

Instead, why not make the button something like "New Game" and make it open the 
New Game sub-menu (haven't tested it, but there seems to be a way to do that 
here: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3720804/android-open-menu-from-a-button).

That would seem more obvious and more helpful.

I agree on this.

In revision205 I already put following suggestion for improvement:
In case no "last game" exists (e.g. a new install has been done) start menu 
should open the menu like it does right now. In all other case it should start 
a new game with same size. The value for hideOperator still has to be 
determined again (i.e. use value from options and/or show the dialog if needed).

The "start new" game button displays the submenu for choosing the grid size of 
the next game. Further improvement on this button as suggested in comment #1 
should wait to a future release.
