Feature Request: option to fully play out a game that's a loss #114

Closed vzaharee closed 8 months ago

vzaharee commented 10 months ago

Feature Description The ability for the player to continue guessing until all boards are solved, while still counting the game as a loss if the number of guesses exceeds the limit.

Motivation I find not being able to solve the final boards in a lost game unsatisfying to the point that I'll just quit as soon as a game is unwinnable. 🤷‍♀️ 😅

This seems like a good idea. However, it might be best to offer the user a choice. Some users might not want to keep playing after a loss, and simply will want to end the game.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking, a setting that could be turned on.

Another idea could be to initially hide the unsolved answers in the results and present the user with the option to either reveal them or continue playing. Though maybe that's less desirable as it'd change the current behavior and require more clicks/user input no matter which option the user wants. 😕

That seems like a great way to handle it: "You didn't guess the words in few enough tries, but would you like to keep guessing to finish the boards or end now?"

Then, if they keep going, have the share to clipboard option include an extra row under "Guesses: X/37" that says "Extra guesses: 5" or whatever number of extra tries it took.

Yea, it's definitely a good idea. It also solve the problem where you have to keep typing out the remaining words to finish the game, even if it's not possible to win.

Feature should be implemented in latest update.
