Report history
1. it would require major redesign of board position and animation logic (CSS transforms break slideTo effects).
2. It would lead to confusion for players teaching or asking questions about the game using the "Show Cursor" feature.
3. It would multiply the possibility of interface bugs and make them way harder to resolve.
I'm under the impression that not enough people would benefit from this feature to justify these difficulties, but I will leave it open in case I'm wrong about that and enough people vote on it.
Another possible fix would be to let the undo button be used even after the turn has ended, as long as no decisions by other players (like how to split up gems after collisions, or jewel reveals) have happened. Then, once a player realizes that they have placed track for the wrong player, they could redo their turn. This isn't as nice a fix, in that it doesn't force players to visualize the outcome of their move as well.
Another suggestion is to just heavily highlight the current player, to make it really hard to miss whose turn it is.
I understand the arguments against this idea.
Maybe another option could be to mark the own mine entries with a box/line(s) around it. This would also make the game more easier for beginners. Because in the beginning orientation on the board is quite hard and you need some time to understand were to start.
I realize this may or may not be easy to implement but would be quite a welcome change to all the people accidentally doing it and those they play with.
Thanks for your efforts to date and consideration.
