Game updates

Hi,

There are many thousands of game played per days, and so some interresting suggestion or issues raised.
This post is to announce some visible update for Splendor's adaptation on BGA :

• Options are now recorded from one game or session to another
• New options added to reduce animation, use standard font or remove countdown timer
• New layout for hide/display option through the gear engine icon
• First player token is now bigger and on top of the gold token on the player mini board
• it's mentionned when a card is bought from player's reserve in the log
• improve autopay feature when player owns gold token
• spend gems sequence and glowing effect for gem selection when it's required before paying card is strenghten

I take the opportunity for this update to highlight one point that led to many ticket, in competitive mode (which is used for arena), or when the option "Auto pay even when owning gold" is disabled, it might be relevant to use gold tokens instead of a 'normal' ones when buying a card.

In that case, the 'Pay button' was greyed and the player is asked to select gems through clicking on them. It's displayed in the top banner, but i felt many player are getting used to the autopay feature and don't realized something particular is expected from them.

Glowing effect when a gem selection is required, with corresponding top banner


Buy card is available when the corresponding gems are selected (an explicit error message is otherwise displayed when trying to pay)
