Tents: add "tree-tent connection" note? #491

Open omgitsraven opened 3 years ago

omgitsraven commented 3 years ago

Since every tree can only be matched up to a single tent, but tents can coincidentally be adjacent to trees besides the one that they're "matched" with, it would be convenient if there were a way for the player to either

  1. draw a line connecting a tree and its "matched up" tent

or at least

  1. mark individual trees as "already been matched up with something"

Either one would make the puzzles easier to solve, in a way that I think I would be doing if I were playing on paper. (Option 1 would be preferable, but I have a feeling that option 2 would be simpler to implement, and would still be better than nothing?)

i think this would have to be an issue for the upstream first: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/tents.html
