Feature Request: Pencil Mode #9

Closed nik3daz closed 2 years ago

nik3daz commented 2 years ago

So strategically, it's super useful to think about potential grid guesses and then rule them out with the wordle.

It would help a lot to have the pencil mode from the NYT crossword for the grid (even though I think it's totally useless for the NYTXW).

@nik3daz Can you think of any way UI wise to make it more clear: 1) that pencil mode is on? 2) what pencil mode does?

nik3daz commented 2 years ago

Hmm. Personally, I feel that the big dialog on pencil mode enable/disable is pretty clunky! I think the highlight of the icon is an adequate indicator.

For new players, I feel many would read the instructions, so it probably makes sense to just leave bit of a note in there. e.g Pencil mode can be used to indicate what you think a square might be without actually using a guess.

For current players, maybe having a 'New!' tooltip for the fresh parts of the UI that they might want to experiment with would help? I think existing players will figure out what the tool does (and why it's useful), but might not notice it.

nik3daz commented 2 years ago

Actually, you have that nice little cog menu now!

I think having the that question mark button next to a Pencil Mode option in there would be a great place to explain it!

Also, I hope you're planning to move the Advanced Keyboard toggle to only live in there. I find it a bit clunky to be at the bottom of the keyboard hahahaha.

mmmewk commented 2 years ago

Hmm yeah the problem that I have been running into is that people don't ever click the ? icon so they don't read the How to Play part and rather just get confused. Yeah advanced keyboard at the bottom was just a way to bring it to attention of current users that its an option.

Probably can update it to be inside the settings menu pretty soon.

nik3daz commented 2 years ago

Maybe a "First Time?" tooltip under the ? icon? It could show after a few seconds on the player's first visit to the site?

mmmewk commented 2 years ago

Hmm might just open up the How to Play modal by default if they are a new user. Might be annoying for existing users who are using a different device, but could solve issues with people being confused on how to play. A lot of people play on mobile so hover based tooltips don't really work for that. But could have a tooltip show up immediately and then vanish after a few seconds

nik3daz commented 2 years ago

Yeah, the autodisplay and hide was what I was thinking, but showing the how to play works too!
