Hi there!
I don't know if anybody cares, but I'm making a Firefox extension that beeps when a game is waiting for you (and you're looking at the gameinprogress page). It only beeps once -- if a second game wants your input it won't beep again. It will only beep if you had played all your turns and now it's your go again in at least one game.
Does that make sense? It also adds a yellow border to the gameinprogress page if no games are waiting or red border if any games are waiting.
It's in ALPHA, that's how early it is. If you want to try it:
- download the zip attached
- (optional) inspect the bgaalert.js file in the zip to see it doesn't do any funny business
- rename the .xpi.zip to just .xpi
- double-click the .xpi to install in FIrefox (it will ask for permissions)
- keep a Firefox tab open at https://boardgamearena.com/gameinprogress
I assume no responsibility, yadda yadda yadda. Provided AS IS, yadda yadda yadda. Hopefully this is useful to someone else.
(If people like it I can add customization, like border colors, URL of sound to be used, things like that.)
EDIT: To remove the extension later click the jigsaw puzzle piece next to the menu button, then the gear button next to BGAAlert, then Remove This Extension.
