Description
Enhancement Request: Adaptive "Start Game" Prompt for Mobile and Browser Platforms
Issue Type: Enhancement
Issue: Currently, the app's "Tap/press Space to start" prompt upon launching causes confusion on mobile devices (iPadOS 17.1.2, Android 13) where pressing the space key is not feasible. This leads to a suboptimal user experience.
Observed Platforms: iPadOS 17.1.2, Android 13.
Suggested Enhancement: Update the game's initial prompt to dynamically display platform-specific instructions. When accessed as a mobile application, show "Tap to start," and for the browser version, retain "Tap/press Space to start." This adaptive approach ensures clarity and usability on different platforms.
Expected Benefits:
-
Improved user experience on mobile devices.
-
Clear and actionable instructions based on the user's platform.
-
Minimization of confusion during the initial game launch.
Implementation Steps:
-
Identify the user's platform (mobile application or browser).
-
Display platform-appropriate instructions:
- Mobile application: "Tap to start."
- Browser: Retain "Tap/press Space to start."
-
Thoroughly test the updated prompt on various devices to ensure consistent behavior.
This enhancement aims to enhance accessibility and provide an optimal user experience across diverse platforms.
