Multiple "Players" in Single Player. #126

Closed hansonry closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not really, it is more of a marketing/testing feature. It might be helpful for a single player to simulate more than one player for the purposes of testing or demoing the game to themselves or others.

Describe the solution you'd like Sometime between selecting single player and "playing" a game, set the number of players. Either by adding an intermediate screen or a way to add/remove "hands" while on the table.

Describe alternatives you've considered I thought about opening the client multiple times and creating a multiplayer game to test out what gameplay would be, but it seems like a lot of work.

Just for clarification: Do you want to have multiple players active at the same time, or the option to "swap seat" to swap to another player/hand/color? Or both?

hansonry commented 1 year ago

I was thinking more of the "swap seat", but I would be fine with both.

Honestly, the workaround you mentioned of running the game multiple times is what I do to test the multiplayer anyways - in each instance you can go to the options menu and change the name and colour of that player.

Since the use cases are pretty niche, I think the workaround is worth doing for now. I can always reopen the issue if there is enough demand for it!
