Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In a physical copy of the game, it's very easy to see that you are at or near the end of a resource track. In the BGA version, the tracks don't even exist! There are only numbers in your inventory, so it's very easy to gain resources that put you over the cap, and you lose the excess.
In game 330223579 move 183 I took the 'Gain 2 Science' power action when I was already at 15 science, so I lost the 4 valuable power from III and gained... nothing. Turn over.
So how about a warning when that sort of thing is going to happen? Or even just making the white numbers in your inventory turn red when you're close to the limit? Thanks.

Of course, adding an undo would solve a lot of problems, including this one...
If you'd like to make the implementation yourself, let me know. I'm maintaining this game as a volunteer, so unless you're also willing to pitch in, you're not really in a position to complain that I'm not doing enough work.
