Shaniqua Posted November 27, 2018 #1 Posted November 27, 2018 I dont know about you guys... But when I play mines on my mobile. Its second nature for me to want to use two fingers at the same time to pick some squares... or tiles as some of the people call them. The few sentences above ^ should already have made my point clear about what I am suggesting. :) So for the sake of being thorough.... I suggest that on mobile versions/tablet, or any touch screen device: to be able to use more than 1 finger at the same time in order to pick mines. If you dont know what im talking about... Next time you do a recaptcha on your phone, try using two fingers at the same time to chose 2 different boxes at the same time.. It is much more convenient. In terms of mines, it think it would make the game a lot more fun ! What do you think?
Kate Posted November 27, 2018 #2 Posted November 27, 2018 That would completely break the game and the code used for the game. The game is already laggy and making this a feature would surely mess it up and make bets more weird. Also if you pick a mine at first tile and you pick a gem at second you would still loose and that's not a good feature for the game

My view is its being done anyway, might as well make it more user friendly. and in terms of the code... I am not a programmer so i guess i cant know if it would be easy or not easy to change. I guess i just assumed it would be easy. perhaps i am wrong and as you said it would break the game code, but idk.. im just curious, do you have programming experience and any idea how the multi touch implementations work code wise or java etc, games are java based? see idk any of that lolol my questions are moot.
Moderator Flan Posted November 27, 2018 Moderator #4 Posted November 27, 2018 I never tried those Stake game at game, because it was annoying as hell (really hard to press anything expect using desktop view setting at my phone browser) . Imagine if you got misclick by that. To prevent some misclick by locking multiple bets at mines (different like at desktop view), because it can't be reverted after you bet. Maybe it was Stake decision to not make any multiple click at phone.
Snike Posted November 27, 2018 #5 Posted November 27, 2018 Imagine not knowing there is multi touch on your phone and choosing 2 instead of 1 tile on 24 bombs... I think stake wouldnt consider this suggestion, because the mobile version has a lot of work to do and it's already filled with problems etc. so they'll not focus on something new, at least not for the moment!

Well I am kind of in the learning basis I meant by break the code not literally the code but it would create high traffic sendback to the site which would cause lag in all platforms hence more complaints and hence more expenditure for Stake.
williamshennie9 Posted November 27, 2018 #9 Posted November 27, 2018 If users can press multiple buttons at once, with more than one finger, you run the risk of misclicks, and possible mistakes that the user could make when playing the game. I don't play Stake on mobile because the risk of mis-tapping on my phone is very high, especially when you have a lot of money in Stake. Even in general though, I seldom use two fingers on my phone unless I'm texting, but I guess each person uses their phone differently. Maybe a separate setting could be added to accommodate this.

Maybe a separate setting could be added to accommodate this. i guess you can argue that, but then again, one can argue the other way around as well. misclicks happen, but with this technology you would need to use 2 fingers to click at the same time, chances of that happening on accident are kinda slim, given how people hold their phones and how they use them. it is a very intentional maneuver . the same chance of making misclick would exist in the way it is now it think i guess we can agree to disagree
