Black Box: highlight corresponding (exit's) edge clue #509

Closed goyalyashpal closed 7 months ago

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

Summary:

On left tapping, the edge clue for corresponding exit is not highlighted similar to how it does in the web version

Reproduction:

Steps:

in Black Box game, click on edges to reveal the clues
when some numeric clue appears, then single click it
now click and hold it

What happened:

after 2: nothing
after 3: interpretted as "right click" - hence, locks the entity (R or C)

What should have happened:

i dont have a clear opinion.

to me: click and hold should match what web version does here, that is, highlight the corresponding clue. 'cz it doesnt seem to be have any alternate suitable actions. Right click on the other hand HAS very reasonable alternate action already available - toggling via that button in bottom bar.
but click and hold does right click throughout most of this android app framework, and making an(other) exception may be unwelcome by some.

saying before hand: i would be slightly against having this idea extended to show the complete light path - let there be some easy mental work too ;)
