Magnets: accept empty spaces for blank dominoes? #485

Open chrisboyle opened 3 years ago

chrisboyle commented 3 years ago

Several people have sent otherwise-complete Magnets games where they haven't placed the blanks.

rather than just auto-interpretting blaks as magnets which i think may sometimes mark as solved spontaneously, how about giving a button for this conversion when blanks can be unambiguously considered as dominoes??

similar detection is done in black box too:

When you have placed enough, a green button will appear in the top left; click that to indicate that you think you have the answer.

or maybe i am not understanding what u mean. so, can u share the games ppl sent??

Likely this

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

yeah, then, i guess my proposal shall hold too??

aside: ahww, yeah, i was wondering how can someone even complete the magnets one without using blanks 😱, but got reminded now, by disabling "strip clues"
