Locking a selection on mobile?

Post by Wickedestjr »

When I play this game on laptop, I can ctrl click a cell to lock in the selection. This makes it a lot easier for me being able to lock in the cells that I’m 100% certain about. However, I can’t figure out a way to do the same thing on my iPhone in Safari. Is there any way to lock in selections on mobile? That would be really awesome.

I don't have an iphone to check, but in Android devices a long press do the same thing than a right click.
It's not working for you ?

No, I’ve tried everything that I can think of but just can’t get it to work.

Hello,
I may have found a solution, I tested on Android and didn't see any regression, but now I'll need an iPhone test...
For the moment, I've only updated the demo page: https://delaforge.eu/reflection/rules.html
Could you please test with your iPhone that a long press on a square activates the square's lock/unlock?

If it's ok I'll also update the game on bga!

Hello,
I'm really sorry I missed your message! I'm still very interested in this feature, I just didn't see the notification that you responded until now.

I followed your link on my iPhone and can see that when I do a long press, it does activate the square's lock/unlock. For some reason, whenever I lock a cell on iPhone it will highlight a bunch of cells so I have to tap somewhere else on the screen to unhighlight everything, but that's a very minor nitpick. Overall, it's a great feature and I appreciate you setting that up.

Thank you!
