Needs a Confirmation and/or Undo Button

Post by Panthergirl »

(There's no way to make this suggestion in the bugs/suggestion thread without specifying a table number)

Anyway it's super-annoying not to have an undo, particularly when getting used to things like tunnels where, if you click on the part of the route with a tunnel and then decide you don't want to do that, you lose your turn anyway. And I also lost a locomotive in that process, not sure how/why. Also, sometimes when you are choosing one of the double-path route segments, you can easily click on the wrong one. No undo. No "are you sure?". It's just done and dusted.

On the upside, I LOVE having this version of TTR on BGA, as it's the best one by far.

There is a confirm option before taking routes, just activate it in the user preferences (top right menu)

I came to this after several times wrongly putting stations.
I turned on all the confirmation, this happens still.
For me, placing trains or putting stations would ask for confirmation with the cards, I hardly recognize it. I hope there will be an undo button for stations.

I changed the Confirm button for stations yesterday to "Confirm station", so it doesn't look the same as "Confirm" for the routes.

I would set as default confirmation, it looks now as an annoying trap for new users who has to loose at least 1 game to figgure it out, being pissed off and then eventually change it for the future games. Undo button is a must anyway. You can easyly willing to zoom in but it ends in placing routes randomly when touching the screan (I'm using a phone to play, like most people).

Touch only devices have confirm on by default. It needs to be activated only if you have a way to select routes with something more precise than touch (computer mousen, optional pen, ...)

I’m not sure how it works. I play often with my PC with a mouse but also in the same time often with my Android Phone or my Tab.
But I think, the "Touch device only" default configuration seems to not work!
It is why, I have set the configuration to always ask for a confirmation and it works well like that. :P

Is there a chance for undo button to be introduced?
Just today at my last move impressed the route to place my last 2 carts and win the game, instead because the track was close to train cards I get a train card and can't undo that leading to losing game, it's so frustrating.

If you click on the question mark next to the Table Number field in the bug submission form, it says:
A table number is required as a reference even for general bugs and suggestions concerning a game (in that case, you can use any recent table for this game).
(emphasis added)
So that is a proper way to suggest a feature for a game.
