Re: Error in bayonets and tomahawks Italian translation

I think it's some kind of suggestion for future implementations I translated many games without playing them beforehand, too, but I don't think putting a minimum number of played games would dramatically improve the quality of the translations. Of course, knowing the game surely helps, but with less...

Re: Why do people join a game and not take a single turn?

This used to happen A LOT in Arena before they changed to requiring you to accept an Arena match. This happened to me several times during the years, especially with games that don't have many players online at once. I start the game search, put the browser tab in the background waiting for the bel...

Weekly/monthly selection of older games to discover

It's very easy to get a table going on BGA if the game is well known and/or in its first few weeks on the platform. Unfortunately, this is not true for lots of other good games that are quite difficult to discover (if you don't know they are implemented or you don't want to scroll a very long list),...

Re: New translations interface (redesign) flaw

Not to say that there should be software blockade for someone who hasn't played a single time, and its translating that game. Its very common, even that it is directly against BGA policy, but has no formal blockade. I agree that some games are poorly translated, but I don't think playing them on th...

Re: New translations interface (redesign) flaw

I also find this new implementation worse than the old one.
I understand BGA aims for precision and cares about translations, but typos happen all the time, even to the most careful translator, and the strings disappearing just makes it impossible to find them in a timely manner.

How does one get the special achievement? Do you need to play the awarded games?

Re: BGA LAB: Experimenting incoming features and give feedbacks!

I use BGA everyday both as gamer and Italian translator. I am a developer, so it's always fun to see new features and how a website this big can implement them, so I would like to do my part in order to make them perfect :D (Oh, I also tried developing a game but unfortunately I moved not many month...

Handle buttons on actions - best practices

I started my first small project yesterday, based on the Reversi tutorial, and I would like to apply some changes to the basic gameplay. I would like to show two buttons after choosing an available cell, asking the player to select the colour of the token they want to place: What is the common workf...

Re: Tips and tricks for the game

Analyse your loses. I do, but everytime I try to replicate the same moves (or avoiding pitfalls) there is something else I didn't notice. I feel like I have no control over the first couple turns, and I don't know what I could do. For example, if I am the second player, I noticed I usually try to p...
