Dear all of you,
I'm currently developping Dice Hospital (
https://studio.boardgamearena.com/gamep ... ospitalalk) and the game is now fully playable for 2-4 players.
As it is my first project on BGA studio, I would have liked to have your opinion and to check if I did not make too many mistakes in English

.
I will also be interested in getting feedback or advice on the game interface that looks good in my environment, but this may not be the case for everyone.
I've done the pre-release checklist, so the boardgame will be ready for alpha if the feedbacks are good.
Also, there are 4 projects on dice hospital : is it possible to move dicehospitalalk to dicehospital ?
Have fun!

That's great news! The publisher will be super happy
You can request your game to be moved to alpha by writing to
studio@boardgamearena.com (the best feedback is received in alpha from the reviewers group, developers can also test each other's games on the studio but it's more rare)
And yes, your project will be renamed to dicehospital before being moved to alpha.
Cheers!

Best to email
studio@boardgamearena.com about that, I think.

I've just tried this in the studio (I assume that dicehospitalalk is the project to run) and the game starts OK but I am then consistently getting JavaScript errors (see below) whenever I do anything. These are all client-side so the actions are performed OK on the server-side but I have to refresh the browser to see the result.
The JS errors are invariably
"Object doesn't support property or method 'replaceAll'
TypeError: Object doesn't support property or method 'replaceAll'
at cloneNode "
BTW, not a problem with the English as such but the very first prompt says "You must choose a die to set to the value 3" next to three dice which already have the value 3.
Edit: I have just tried it with a different browser (Firefox) and it works a lot better. My first attempt was with an oldish version of Edge.

OK thank you for your feedback !
Indeed, I didn't test on Edge and I can see that javascript replaceAll method was introduced recently so, it is probably too early to use it.
I've replaced all occurences of replaceAll()
It works better now, but there is still a problem with Edge when choosing an ambulance :
(Generated by: checkAction/chooseAmbulance)
Please wait, an action is already in progress
It doesn't appear at all on Firefox or Chrome and I don't know why it happens.
If someone knows how to solve this issue...
