New "Jump to next playable games" option

Post by the.killing.44 »

Concise description:
  • add a new link that jumps a person to a game one more down their list, and change the previous to "Jump to Your Nearest [or other word … I dunno] Playable Game"
Specifics:
  • the new link makes the game one further down their list
  • i.e. I'm up in five games - one with 1:35 left and the other with 4:22, 4:23, 4:24 each remaining. I can click the first link to jump me to the 1:35 left game, or if I don't want to take that right now, or am waiting for a teammate for instance, and the others are in a 1v1 tourney I've basically wrapped up. Instead of going back to my games and hitting the link 3 times to get to those games, I can just click the "drop 1 game down list" link to send me there.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • make life easier
I dunno how this is to code, and it's not really that high in priority, but it would be nice ;)

I think this could be useful ... but it may be complex to code.

At present "jump to next playable game" is simple for the site to do : just find all playable games, sort by time remaining and jump to the one at the top of the list. However to implement the suggestion the site needs to 'remember' how far down the list of next nearest playable games a user has already moved and only from that can it work out what the 'next' nearest playable game is ...

All it should have to do is remember the time remaining when the turn was started, and find the next remaining time when the turn is over.
