The device should visually indicate special conditions, especially:
missing server connection
missing wifi configuration
missing / invalid server connection configuration
unexpected disconnection
waiting for transaction request to complete
I probably missed some conditions.
During these conditions, inputs should probably have no effect (exception: reconnection attempt?).
The visiual representation should be easily distinguishable from normal game conditions. A simple approach might be something like the following:
One dot of light continuously circles around at about one round per second. It's color indicates the severity, like white meaning "waiting for server to aknowledge ball transition" and red meaning "no connection" or "user interaction required".
