Haggis: Card Ordering

Post by sunrise »

Currently, the user can choose to order by colour, or by number. It would be great if players are able to customize the order of the cards in any way that they like.

This is especially useful in cases such as multi-coloured bombs, since the 4 cards will be separated with the current ordering options. If we can order in any way we like, the multi-coloured bomb could be grouped together, making it easier for the player to see which cards remain. There have been instances where I mistakenly "broke" my bomb by playing a card that I forgot was reserved for a bomb. Or in the rare case where you have two multi-coloured bombs (it's happened twice for me), it's a headache to try and remember which cards belong to which bomb.

A click and drag interface like how you can reorder the tabs in a browser is what I imagine.

Thanks for reading.

This has been a very common request by players (including me). From what I gather, the site developers are busy with coding new games to add to the site, but are considering drag-and-drop reordering of hands sometime in the future. As a bonus, if they do so, it should be available for more than just Haggis, as that part of the code is shared among several games.

Sorry for the heavy bump, but just two days ago I adopted it as a new game, the first after long time in my profile. I really like it so far, there seems more subtlety than my first impression suggested.

I would find an option to order the cards by preference a lot more comfortable too, though. There are instances where I would gaze at my hand for over 1 minute, especially when possessing a bomb, just to figure out what combos are most reasonable to form... Maybe if it doesn't mean too much investment this individual card ordering can be extended to other games where sensible.
