Hi Blue dragon,
Like the new interface. One slight problem from recent game - I had a point when there were 4 ships all with the possibility of boarding or moving crew - this resulted in a control window that covered most of the screen so it was difficult to see the actual state of play - Would be handy if one could move it to one side or minimalise it somehow.
Keep up the good work!BlueDragon wrote:
New interface!released on Beta!
This is just version 0.1, more changes are coming.

This first version is to address the problem that tablets and touch-screen devices in general had difficulties in playing WS&IM because the movable window was not movable by touch.

The control window is now fixed at the bottom of the screen, but when you scroll the page it stays at the bottom - so you can just scroll the page to have the ship in the middle of the page and the controls below it.
You can switch the ship you are giving orders to by using the Prev/Next buttons or you can directly click on the ships to select them.
This works on tablets too, so you can just touch the ship you want to control.

In future version, we will add the possibilities of selecting multiple ships at once, so that you can give the same order to multiple ships at the same time.

Let me know if you find bugs and your feedbacks/suggestions on the new interface

Good point, I had not tested the Boarding Party phase.
Yes, as it currently stand they appear all together and they might make the fixed window too big, cover the ships on the map.
So either we split the boarding parties as we do for the moves, or maybe the boarding parties appear not in a column but in a row, so that the control windows does not grow too big.
Thanks for the feedback!
