Gameplay via Reactions #6

Instead of typing the bot should add possible reactions to the message where you are informed that it is your turn. It just saves a lot of time; especially on mobile. In case that you will solve the DM/Server switching issue you could also only display reactions that are currently possible for the specific user.

So, what? You want the bot to put the reactions of every single card on its message for you to click on? That's completely unrealistic.

I tested it and on a server I run I can add 20 reactions to a message. That's enough to cover all cards: 10 for 0-9 4 for colours 3 for stop, reverse, +2 2 for +4, wild So after a colour + a card reaction get pressed a card is played and in case of wild there don't need to be a exception since it also needs a colour. Also bots can easily remove reactions so they could easily be present at the last message only.

19 reactions would also take 19 seconds to apply. That's a lot of API requests and waiting for each turn. I'm not going to implement this.
