Report history
I will consider adding confirmation buttons. although, be aware that confirmations slows down a lot the flow of the game, as every player is asked to confirm every move. in fact, BGA discourages the use of confirmation in the implementations.
to try to avoid confirmations, i added a lot of previews when hovering an active move octagon to help in visualizing the effect of a move. this is less effective when playing the game from mobile, which doesn't have the equivalent of "hovering on an element"
If I can give you a tip, consider adding the undo button but not the confirmation.
After the move, you have to choose the next gear. Here, if you close the popup you could potentially use the undo button. This will affect only the car placement and attack maneuver. (This is a typical situation in phisical game)
The same when you place a vector. Where you have to chose if boost or not, the undo button could allow you to change the vector position.
Obviously this will not be possible if you choose to use the boost.
Thank you again for your awesome work!
the addition of undo and confirmation have similar consequences in terms of game flow, but very different one in terms of software development (undo is way harder to implement). also undo could lead to excessive help to the player in planning a move since he can see multiple steps ahead which position will be available (and then go back if the situation is not favorable). BGA implementations mostly use confirmation anyways and also BGA usually doesn't recommend the use of either solutions.
the next update will include the option to have confirmation before every move (gear placement, boost placement, car placement)
