Request for feature on StarBattles

[whiterook6]

Currently, you can click and drag your cursor over cells to place dots that mark cells impossible to hold a star. However, if you place a star, continuing to drag the cursor across more cells does nothing.

I request that dragging the cursor across cells after placing a star should still mark those sells with dots. Imagine you double click a cell to place a star, then drag the cursor sideways to eliminate all the other cells in that row. in fact, dragging the cursor should always mark cells with dots, regardless whether you started by placing a dot or a star.

Thanks

I like this idea. Will think on it some more and potentially include in the next update. Thanks!

Automatic marking of all impossible cells after placing a star would be a great effort saving feature.

But that kind of makes the difficulty level go down, no? Sometimes I still get stuck by forgetting to simply eliminate all the adjacent squares!

Maybe make it an optional feature then that can be toggled on and off? Don't count the time for the leaderboard if it's on or add a column to indicate if the feature was used or not.

I realized that I wrote the same for general sub but I'd really like to have auto knockout for stars. It would be really time saving!

An option to check current cells without receiving a hint would be nice

I have a new idea, I don't know how or if it is possible to implement it. I use my laptop tracker to play. It's sometimes a bit tricky to double click. I really want to shave time so I think press S/D keys for placing a star and a dot would be an idea for any cell that mouse is hovering on.

So while allowing mouse controls I think S/D could be implemented?
