Notifications! Blog

Added basic little Notifications so that you know whose turn it is.[/highlight]
I've tried to keep the "notifications" as subtle as I can, but .. obviously, they have to be noticeable!

You can test them out in the Shoebox, by playing the Snakes and Ladders game!

The ONLY notifications I'll be adding are of the "X Player's Turn" variety, so there's no need to panic. I'm not going to be shoving giant billboards in your face, and asking you to Subscribe any time soon.

But, yeah, there's now a little thing that pops up from the bottom of the screen to say whose turn it is.
It might be too quick. I'm not sure.
Please do let me know what you think.

The notification is currently only in the Snakes and Ladders game, because I don't *think* it's needed elsewhere. The Four in-a Row could probably work with it, but realistically it's completely unnecessary there. It's fairly obvious whose turn it is!

But, at the same time, I'm not sure if it's "BIG" enough for more complex games. I guess I'll find that out once I start coding those.
For now it "feels" OK, but again, let me know whether you think they're enough or not.

You can see if they're noticeable or not, in the Shoebox/Board Games/Snakes and Ladders.
