GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 118996
Visually indicate most recent move
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:25:38 UTC
It happens often that the turned stones are noticed by not the newly placed stome. The should be a better indication what the last move has been.
Good point. This will have to wait until 2.5 to be fixed, fortunately this will not be too far in the future. If you have any suggestions about *how* the move should be made more noticeable, please send them in.
Perhaps a border that fades away or stays, or highlighting the last stone placed. The stagger option also hels to determine where approximately the last move was. And should be the default from this point of view.
I noticed a GNOME Othello "Sirius" game that uses a small dot drawn in the corner of the last piece moved whenever "Show Legal Moves" is checked in prefs. I like it, though would suggest placement in the center of the pieces for these games.
Nice idea. Won't necessarily work well with arbitrary themes though.
I am thinking of fixing this bug using a slow 'pulse' such as the one used on the panel and the color computed here: http://david.navi.cx/blog/?p=94 . Taking ownership of this bug.
