• Redis - allows for easy retirement of old/stagnant rooms
• Allow initialization of game instances by dict

Related to #5 - old rooms should be scanned and removed upon new room creation. This is a stopgap solution to using a semi-persistent storage as mentioned in related issue.

Optimize tile sizes on all screen sizes a bit more.

Describe the bug
Clicking on the timer multiple times causes the timer to speed up like a bomb in a movie.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start a game
2. Click on timer
3. Click "Start Time"
4. Notice seconds pass
5. Click on timer again
6. Click "Start Time" again
7. Notice seconds pass faster
8. Repeat 5-7 over and over again and see how it speeds up
9. Resetting the clock does not fix this

Expected behavior
Either an option to click on "Start Time" when the timer is on should not be available, or it should be switched to "Pause Time".

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Browser: Chrome
• Version: 81.0.4044.129

Scan the dictionaries folder to populate the form.

Implement better logging in production.

See line 19 in codenames/server/init.py
Might be a good idea to store this as an environment variable instead and replace with;

import os
app.secret_key = os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY')

Add some extra design elements to give the app a more "fun" feel.

Some ideas:

• Make cards more interesting looking
• Add spy-themed background music player
• Make "card flip" transitions
• Make all card text uppercase

Once a turn is taken, replace "Blue/Red team starts" with a mini scoreboard

Make game creation more user-friendly for multiple users.

• Add an additional staging view to display some UI elements to help other users get connected.
• Staging room should show # of users (connected clients), as well as allow username entry
• Staging room will assign teams, assign spymasters, allow randomization, and show game creator
• Team assignment, spymaster assignment, etc will be adjustable mid-game or between games
• Also possible: staging room can allow for custom word entry. Custom words can either be merged in with the selected dictionary(ies), or played from independently.

Make it easier for community dictionary contributions. Must support multiple dictionaries for multiple languages (English standard, English CAH, French standard, French CAH, etc...)

Ideas for doing this:

• Standard descriptive naming scheme (ex: en_standard, es_standard, en_cah)
  • Pros: easy to implement, lightweight, drop-in dictionaries
  • Cons: less flexible, possibly confusion and error-prone
• Manifest JSON/YAML file
  • Pros: flexible, extensible, allows for additional metadata
  • Cons: Requires an additional file to be updated for new dictionaries

See additional input and discussion in this PR.

Once someone has clicked “reveal” as the spymaster, no one else should be able to reveal the map

As in - test the entire flow of the app such as creating a game, flipping a card, joining a game, etc.

Use a smaller character set for easier, more mobile-friendly room codes.

Options:

• Non-numeric 6-character code. Ex: ABCDEF
• Dictionary-based codes. Ex: Apple
• Numeric-only 6-character code. Ex: 123456

The pop-up currently overlaps the bottom nav - it's not clear that you need to "Tap to dismiss"

Either add "Tap to dismiss" text to existing pop-up, make the pop-up a modal, or move it elsewhere on the screen.

This will avoid games being created with less than the required number of words and erroring out.

Use the grid layout for desktop, and use normal flex layout for mobile.

The application supports non-English dictionaries but the UI is purely in English. Use vue-i18n to map UI text to supported languages.

• Only show shuffle button for spymasters
• Remove spymaster roles when "New Game" is clicked
• Change wording on shuffle button to something that makes it more clear that "shuffling" replaces the board

Not everyone will know how to use the app when first starting - add some tooltips and better guides on how to play.

Allow users to mix multiple dictionaries by percent. Ex: 50% Cards Against Humanity, 50% Standard

This didn't occur until the most recent deploy, where hosting was switched from AWS to DigitalOcean. Likely a permissions issue.

• Regenerate words without starting a new room
• Start a new game when game is finished

Code for regenerating will likely power the new games.

This will help with usability and make it more evident that only spymasters can flip cards.

Implement hourglass/timer.

As a player I can start the timer.
As a spymaster I can start the timer.

As a player I get notified when time's up.
As a spymaster I get notified when time's up.

Timer stops when a card is flipped.

2. Click any of the links under 'Blog Series'
3. You will be redirected to medium.com

Expected behavior
They should link to, for example, https://medium.com/hackervalleystudio/weekend-project-part-3-centralizing-state-management-with-vuex-5f4387ebc144

I am willing to help code the cooperative mode for this.

(Python3/flask and Vue(x) i can do.
Unit testing is not my strong suite, though.)

Any ideas on where to start?

PM or chat room invitations welcome.
(For now, I can work on this project on three days this week (CW10 of 2019),
from 21:30-23:30 hours in UTC+1 hour zone.)
