10 YEARS OF ONLINE BRIDGE misclick is rediculous?

[shubi]

The 'sorry pd I misclick or to opps" both are common.The result of unfortunate action. We know how many times the end result changes due to the undesirable actions. Most site will either display NOUNDO or DIRECTORS DISCREATIONS. But this is no rocket science its computers. Please for all individual IT should check for quick response say withing 10th of second or set profile for each players after few tournaments for individual players. GL GL.

Welcome backkkk shubiiiiiii!

[gwnn]

We were worried sick! So happy you're OK!

[Echognome]

Sorry posters. I misclicked reply.

[jdonn]

garblerrrrrrrrr

shubi makes a good point. If a slight delay is in effect before the application accepts a click, it will stop many of the inadvertent misclicks.

 

shubi, why not post this under "Suggestions for the Software"?

Not sure that this is what Shubi was suggesting, but a delay after every click would be incredibly annoying IMO.

 

It takes me maybe 0.5 seconds to realise I misclicked, and a second more to click on the right card again. So that means the software would add 6 seconds to each trick, a minute and a half to each hand...

30 years (?) of spell-checkers and we still write "rediculous"

Come on matmat, it's not rocket science, it's computers.

[shubi]

hi naresh, thanks for the numbers, first computer mostly works on nano seconds or giga seconds, when you playing your hand computer does many many works in back ground. second not every body does MISCLICK every time. the way computer will handle it is ONLY IF YOU click mouse out of ur very calculated normal range, first time it will warn you for one specific CLICK, after that you are on your own for THAT SPECIFIC click. gl thx.

how about we have a series of NEW buttons instead of the UNDO

 

oops = my computer did it

darn = that was foolish of me but maybe I can have a mulligan?

oh ***** = well we all remember that one but maybe only for expert+ ratings....

 

no, that would be REDICKULUS :)

Clicking a mouse with precision can be a real problem, especially for people with tremors.

 

Windows applications can detect mouseover events (when the mouse is over a specific object) and time them (call this dwell).

 

In theory, a user could specify a minimum dwell time and the application could then ignore clicks that do not meet this minimum.

 

Not saying this is easy. Good idea though.

if this is a problem it should be possible to move the mouse to the desired place, let go of it and press a keyboard key.

 

as for giga-seconds... i don't plan to wait that long for my browser to pull up anything.

[han]

A giga second is very long, no? [edit: matmat was faster]

by almost 1.5 kiloseconds!

[Gerben42]

Expecto patronum!

 

  A giga second is very long, no? [edit: matmat was faster]

 

Yes, about 30 years, as a trick you can remember that a year is 10^7.5 seconds (3.16 x 10^7 seconds)

About pi times 10^7. I learned it that way when I was an undergraduate and I still remember it when I need it. I can imagine someone asking just when it is that I need it. But back to the topic.

 

I cannot recall the last time I asked for an undo. Surely further back than the last time I used pi times 10^7. Sorting out misclicks form misthinks is sometimes obvious but there is a continuum and I find it best to just resolve to be a little more careful in the future.

10 years of online bridge? How about 17 years. Doesn't anyone except me remember the Imagination Network and the bridge you crossed to go into the "bridge house"? It was $10 per month way back then and had lots of great features, and very good players. I am sure there are some of them still around.

 

And I joined okbridge in 1996 and it had a few thousand members on at one time then.

[Al_U_Card]

Oh yeah! The bridge with the troll baby Justin in diapers underneath it, demanding answers to bridge questions to let you pass..... :lol: :lol:

 

p.s. Justin, you are the only one in here that might have been in diapers 19 years ago so you were "it" by default... ;)

 

although a number of us may already be back in diapers.... :angry:

first, computer speed referes to how many cpu cycle can be performed in 1 second, the SOLE reason for having computer!

second, sure most of us dont MISCLICK? But did we receive benefit of MISCLICK by dear opponent?

And all this time I thought the sole reason was to look at porn?

and steal music!

[1eyedjack]

have been trying to follow shubi here but am lost. Are not internet delays more significant than cpu clock speed?

[Al_U_Card]

Ever since the Shoobster bought that radar gun he has been obsessed with speed...

[shubi]

first Thinking, if some players is mixed up no matter computer canot change it, so no excuse THAT it has something to do with computer interupt.

second computer systems dont work miracle by producing interupt with out BEING asked by some one to do it. now at presen players goes to wash room, use telephone, feed cats, walk dogs, answer doors, says good bye to hubby and puts him to sleep for some heavy duty card playing etc etc so what we do? we call TDs, they are there for reasons.

The computer will monitor individual player RATE OF KEY STROKE, WILL track very individua trash hold limit, for upper limit say after 10 seconds for an individual PLAYER will GET warning 'IN 10 SECONDS BOARD WILL BE TAKEN OUT, YOU WILL RECEIVE ZERO PERCENT AND OPPS 90 PERCENT". REMEMBER Table time limit of 4.5 limit will be still handle by TDs.
