Sound when it is my turn in any game

[miaux]

BGA already has the option to be alerted by a sound when it is your turn. However, this only works if the game in question is open.

As someone who plays mostly turn-based games and often has the site running in the background while doing other things, I would like the option to have a sound notification when it is my turn in ANY of my currently running games, without keeping all of them open in browser tabs.

Currently one is notified by the yellow bar at the top of the page. Perhaps an optional sound notification could be added.

Would be nice!

Another possibility would be to use the HTML5 Notifications API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... tification). That would allow the site to show a desktop notification when it's your turn, even with the site closed. That would even allow the site to display push notifications on mobile, just like apps can.

Not something you'd want to enable for real-time games, but it would work quite well for turn-based games.
