update turn playback UI to start count at zero instead of one #34

Example: image

UI on top right shows 1/58. No pieces have been played on the board yet. So I think it should show 0/58.

image Now UI on top right shows 2/58. Only one piece has been played on the board. So I think it should show 1/58.

When browsing through games, these changes will make it less confusing, I think.

So when you're playing a game you want to know what move is pending (i.e., you're waiting for the first turn of the game) but when you're playing back a saved game you want to know what move was just played (i.e., the first move is the first turn).

I'm not sure. I think having it different for playback of saved games, versus playback of game you're currently playing, would be confusing. I guess I was thinking the 2/58 numbers on the upper right could start at zero. And the "Turn 2" on the upper left in orange could start at 1. But maybe that's also confusing? I will think about it more. But I'm open to your ideas since I'm still confused about what experience would be not confusing.

@skotz I think you set the turn count to start with zero with the 0.4.1 release, so I'll close this one.
