Bug ID: 418211
Summary: The visual layout can be improved to better help the
user when solving puzzles
Product: picmi
Version: 2.0.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jakob.gru...@gmail.com
Reporter: byrial.jen...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
When solving puzzles I have missed some things in the layout which would help
the user if present:
1) Have a row and column count
I miss an indication of the total number of rows and columns in the puzzle so I
don't have to count them. The total number of rows could be placed over the
number sequences for the rows. The total number of columns could be placed to
the left of the number sequences for the columns.
2) Keep indication of every five cells in small cells
When the cells become smaller (which is necessary on small screens with large
puzzles), the extra line to indicate groups of 5 cells will disappear. That
makes the overall counting of cells more hard. Please keep a thicker line for
every five cells in rows and columns for small cell sizes.
3) Add more space between numbers for row sequences
It can be hard to see the spaces between the individual numbers in sequences
for rows. I have several times read for instance "1 3" as "13". Please increase
the space between numbers in sequences for rows a little bit.
4) Add counter for actual row and column sequences
When marking long sequences of either filled cells or empty cells, it would be
nice with an indicator for the length, so the user can control the count. I
suggest when the mouse is on a cell that is marked as either filled or empty,
that numbers are shown for the number cells in the current sequence in both the
row and column. So if you have marked e.g. a sequence of 5 filled cells in a
row and place the mouse on one of the 5 cells, the number 5 will the shown,
e.g. to right of the cell. And if you have marked e.g. a sequence of 8 filled
cells in a column and place the mouse on one of the 8 cells, the number 8 will
be shown, e.g. below the column.
