Online Play: Display Selected Action(s) After Locking Them In #28

Open dsnvwlmnt opened 7 years ago

While spectating my own stream i noticed a possible improvement to the UI.

When i select my actions and click OK, my action choices are hidden with X X (2pe) while i wait on my opponent(s). My selected actions could be displayed, and it would be nice. As it is, it's 100% hidden with no way to know what was chosen.

Given the green circle, we already know we are locked in and waiting on our opponent(s), and the fact that our opponents' action(s) are not visible, it would be clear what the game state is even if our selected actions were shown - i.e. waiting on opponent action selection.

If that is complicated from a server actions/timing point of view, maybe you could change the "Waiting for Opponent" message to also show the previous UI thing with the list of actions and what was selected, but make it unclickable... Or just show the actual selected action(s) right there to the left of "waiting for opponent". Or something.

Related to #29.

Yes, this is an annoyance that should be fixed. I haven't investigated what causes this behavior, so have no idea whether it is a small or large fix.
