If you drag up (on the blue region) to scroll down, does it hide the address and navigation bars to give more room? Or does that not work?

I hope the portrait mode is okay?

Thanks for sharing those screenshots.

I think this behavior is an overall improvement. I noticed that with the previous version, it’s not quite possible to get rid of the address bar (when viewing from a standard mobile browser interface). So at least with being able to scroll the page down a bit to dismiss it, it gives a bit more space to the interface, and one can still access the address bar by scrolling back up.

I definitely agree that we need something like this. For me, the trickiest thing is figuring out how to properly make a pop-up like this. I’m a bit of an amateur when it comes to this web development stuff.

However, here is a short blurb of help text to potentially copy-paste, when sharing, and maybe eventually work into a built-in help dialog:

By the way, thanks for sharing all of that awesome feedback!

That text is good
The button should be in UL corner but well, out of context. So maybe at right of submit LR? (It’s about ppl reading a screen in diagonal)

I messed around a little with the old version and think I saw the issue you’re talking about, and it’s fixed in the new version, at least in my phone (ios)

on my ipad I saw this, feel like the layout could be tweaked. but I don’t think it’s high priority…

#10 spoilers

you can scroll the list of guesses but only that little area

CSS stuff like this is black magic as far as I’m concerned

I think I need to play with the minimum panel height and width values a bit, which I think could resolve that. Currently, it is just 250 pixels, which is clearly is still not enough. Maybe a dragger to set how much space is given to the board vs the panels would be nice, but I have no idea how to do that.

Yeah, it’s tricky stuff. Actually, my solution is still not that elegant, since it involves using a bit a JS code to add a window resize listener that queries the view dimensions and sets heights and widths manually.

Ideally, it should all be done in CSS, but I’m not sure how to actually do that. A particular stumbling block is that we have an SVG board image embedded in the page, and that behaves in a way that I don’t quite understand with regards to CSS layouts.

Thanks for tip, @shinuito! I’ll try that out later.

I think it may be good to clarify somehow that a purple white stone could actually be black in the solution, but I’m not sure how to say this in a clear and succinct way.

How about this?

Purple means that the point is in the sequence, but not at the right timing, and may be a different color.

It’s much harder to explain clearly than I thought :sweat_smile: I had some other ideas but discarded them because they’re not really better.

only thing is I would just add “stone”:

Purple means that the point is in the sequence, but not at the right timing, and may be a different color stone.

since there’s already colors going on too

“But the timing and/or som stone color are incorrect” is a succinct way to put it that a few folks have suggested elsewhere

Edited to specify “stone color”

Oh, wow, I didn’t think about the dual meaning of “color” in this case.

One of these hints is always lying, while the other only tells the truth…

Also what about including images in the explanation? For example:

  1. Guess the hidden joseki by submitting move sequences.
  2. Green :green_circle: indicates that the move is at the correct place and timing within the sequence.
  3. Purple :purple_circle: indicates that the point is part of the sequence, but the timing and/or stone color is incorrect.
  4. The red :x: indicates points that are not part of the joseki.
  5. A new puzzle is available every day!

(But instead of the emojis, using images of the empty circles)
Or maybe including both the emoji and the image, so that red x = white circle is clear?

Do you think passing/tenuki should ever be included? That would allow for double approach joseki

Edit: on second thought this might make it nearly impossible to solve, if people don’t consider the option. Might make the puzzle too frustrating

You can kind of get them with a 3 space pincer. Not exactly the same but still

Want to make my pedant here… Not the same to have that pincer stone. Or i will never pincer again…

Maybe we should just fully replace the white circle emoji with the red X emoji?
