Decouple upcoming queue display from board width #16

Open thunderrabbit opened 6 years ago

Currently, Helpers displays the upcoming pieces queue in the board{}, but this breaks if the board is not as wide as the queue is long.

For level 1, I would prefer the board to be width 1, so the user cannot possibly lose, but (as it is currently written,) the queue requires width 5 as a minimum.

I would probably make the queue part of a HUD, floating over the game board:

  1. Make a HUD scene in subscenes/
  2. Create script HUD.gd for HUD scene
  3. Add func display_queue(queue) to HUD.gd
  4. Make sure it shows up above the board. Maybe make the pieces be transparent

I disagree with this. It's not a priority right now, and only exists because of your desire to have level 1 be a weird shape. Change this desire for level 1 and the issue goes away (at least for a while).

Also, level 1 shouldn't have width 1 because it will be more confusing to have a weird level shape than it will to learn to play the game on a typical level shape.

Again, this kind of issue isn't a priority right now. Let's work around it until we have a playable game. Tutorials and fun GUI stuff can wait will later.

Ok, instead of closing the issue, I'm adding a tag that will remind us not to mess with it till later.
