Feature Request - Games in Progress

[Fillmore]

It would be nice to be able to see a list of all games that are in progress - it would make the place seem less empty and give people more of a clue as to what games there are currently players online for and just be useful overall. It is also a preliminary feature required to implement the much saught after ability to spectate games in progress.

That's a great idea. It would also be nice to see an elapsed time on the games so you can gauge when players might be available again.

There have recently been upgrades to Robo Rally (no mechanical arm) and several to AA & AA42.

If you still want to be able to watch a game, perhaps email Rob to remind him.
He submits requests for programming fixes & upgrades.

I imagine this upgrade could be implemented in a variety of ways?
a) unlimited watching (not a good option IMO)
b) table creator sets option to watch - with default being no watching
c) prospective watcher sends request for ability to watch

This may need to be implemented for each game - not one global programming swoop.

Therefore, it may require more time than we know, though it never hurts to ask.

Cheers
