5 Tile Discards

Post by Flippyyyy »

I'd like to ask for clarification, and possibly suggest a change in the implementation. A friend and I have played a couple matches so far, and observed that when using a 5 tile to choose and discard a tile from the opponent's hand, it seems to correspond directly to the actual ordering of tiles in the opponent's hand. I.e. the game automatically sorts tiles from lowest to highest, left to right, and one can use that information to deliberately choose a lower or higher tile from the opponent's hand when discarding. Is this correct, that selecting a tile in this way corresponds directly to the (forced) ordering of tiles in an opponent's hand, or has it simply been a string of coincidences on our part?

In the physical version, players could shuffle and resort the tiles to make the draw "random", but in the BGA implementation this is not possible. Is this working as intended? If not, is it possible to simply automate a random discard from the opponent's hand to solve the issue?

Thank you! Apologies if this is in the wrong place, I wasn't sure if this was a "bug" necessarily or a choice with the implementation, if I should resubmit it as a bug I'm happy to do so.

Hello,

This is the wrong place as you can file a bug/suggestion when you have something to report.

The question is already there btw.
Here is the answer of MathCT who has worked on this project with me:
"Your visible tiles are arranged in order for you. But on the opposite rack they are random. So if you act for example a troop from the left of the enemy it will not be the largest (the choice is made randomly ... even if you have the impression of choosing)."
