[RFE]: More explicit arrow directions #23

Closed jayofdoom closed 1 month ago

jayofdoom commented 1 month ago

Thank you for the game, my wife and I enjoy it greatly. One issue we have though, is while the letter arrows are artistically pretty, they're tough to see well when cast onto a TV screen. It'd be nice to have an option (maybe toggled with High Contrast Mode?) which gives them a sharper arrow shape.

While I'm only mediocre at JS/CSS/HTML, if you're amenable to this feature but don't want to write it, let me know and I may eventually get you a PR.

Thanks! -Jay

Hey, thank you for opening an issue and for the kind words!

This is an interesting request since I would have thought people only paid attention to the colors.

I'm resistant to making anything "sharp" per-se, but here's what it looks like when I turn up the rounding to max. Does this read better for you?

I could also take it further like this:

But I don't like how unbalanced they feel.

I'll run it by my wife, she's really the one who had the complaint. The bottom one looks AWESOME to me though. An across the board improvement!

edit: She agrees!

Thanks for the input. I think I'll add a slider in the options that lets you go from totally square to fully pointed.

Edit: Hey, thank you for sponsoring 🥰

I think I will also make the default roundness a bit more round, now that I'm looking at these more.

vegeta897 commented 1 month ago

Here we go! Take a look in the options screen to try it out.

I even updated the image share function to use the variable sharpness too.

Thanks again for suggesting this.
