a new UI, thats great !!!
(what is "UI"?)

edit
my best guess is "User Interface" ?

not obvious to us non-anglophones

 

[IronDuke]

LOVE IT. LOOOOOOOVE IT!

The start a game map panel is great
The color picker is OUTSTANDING. Huge improvement
Note that in the my games sections the icon that gets you to the game (the square with the arrow) it was not intuitive what that did until I clicked it. I thought at first that it would remove from the game. Not a huge deal but text would help

User Interface.

Folks, Love your work!
I'm not seeing any Beta games that were active in the previous Beta version. Nor am I seeing a game I have just started in the new Beta.
I'm seeing 'There are no available games' whichever of the 3 tabs I select under 'My Games'.
Probably User error but I can't see how.
Cheers, A

Try refreshing the tab. Or clearing your cache.

I was having similar issues, but they were sporadic.

I just purged the server of old images, which might help, so clear your cache and try again.

Oh, and one more thing.....

When you create a game - YOU NEED TO JOIN THE GAME AFTER YOU CREATE IT!!!

Unfortunately, we have not implemented "automatic joining of games" yet.

It will be next!

 

[Athelstan]

Yep, saw that after I'd posted, so have started and joined a new game and can see that under waiting games.
But still no joy on the previous Beta games underway. Have rebooted, cleared cache, tried running from Firefox instead of Chrome. Computer still says 'No'.
The world will keep truning - but I was winning one of them!

 

[Athelstan]

That 'awaiting' game has switched to 'active' so it looks like the other games have gone. No problem but I hope the other players don;t think I've just gone AWOL.

 

[NewSheriffInTown]

Oh yeah.... all the old games have been deleted. You need to start new games..... sorry!

 

[periwinkle]

I noticed under the real time game list....casual games are showing up there....I just joined your doubles assassin duck & cover game but that was under the real time link.

 

[th-child]

If you click the join/leave button, the page gets unresponsive. You can't join or leave other games, or expand them to see the players unless you refresh the page.

Imo it looks very pleasant btw.

Oooops..... lol. Sorry. Good news is that you wouldn't have received any points for it anyway..... :-D

Hmmm..... One of the features of the new engine, is that all games can be recreated, assuming there has been no changes to the game rules. Maybe I'll check to see if Marcos can resurrect that game after he fixes some immediate issues.

Joined game, 108 player colors do not show on the map and terts do not light up when scrolling over the players name.

Works for me....

What browser are you using? And did you refresh the page?

 

[AuraCraft]

I like the sound you hear when its your turn

that's OK, it doesn't matter. Marcos needs to keep working on getting everything added and ready to go.
