Add a Pause button to the Game #29

Open ChristophyBarth opened 5 years ago

Components

I suggest that a pause button should be added to the game.

Proposal Description

Amongst all the SECUSO group's game projects, this is the one I enjoy the most. One of the issues I have is that I can't pause the game. A pause button is a very important button in a game app. I dislike the fact that when I'm busy doing something else, the game is still counting. Therefore, I suggest that a pause button should be added to the game so players can pause the game and continue it whenever they want. This button can be added any where. You can take a look at the mock up in the second image below.

Mockup/Example

This is the present look of the app.

This is the proposed look of the app.

Looking at the top right corner of the screen, you can see the proposed pause button.

Benefits

If this feature is considered and implemented, players of the Memo Game would be able to pause their game at any given time.

@petermayer I would like to implement this enhancement. Please let me know if you are still interested in getting this included into the app.

Hi @hanneshofmann, we do currently not have the capacity to implement it ourselves, but if you create a pull request, we will be happy to review the code!

However, regarding the actual implementation, I suggest that either the timer automatically stops when the app is not in the foreground any more OR the whole grid is blurred in some way to give a more active indication that the game is paused (with a prominent option to unpause it).

Looking forward to your contribution!
