REQUEST Game selection / filter screen suggestions
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2017 9:48 pm
Using the game selection screen, I had a few suggestions.
1. Pressing X (button to the left of A/B/X/Y) could delete the last typed character (backspace)
2. left / right bumper could move the cursor left, right in the text filter / input. Trigger could do this, too, if not used for something else.
3. The wait time after entering characters seems long
4. Sliding search would be a nice alternative to not needing wildcards, such as "zeldaoc" could match "the legend of zelda ocarina of time"
5. (at odds with #4) I really like the filter in the PS4 store where you do the first letter and it shows the games that match that, and then all the possible next characters. Pick the second character and it filters the list and gives you all the options of the third character. Pressing B at any time removes the last character selection. See in PS4 store when searching for games. This search doesn't make sense to be sliding (as suggested in #4) . The first character choice is all letters found in all titles.
Keep up the amazing work! Is the whole thing written in Java? Have you explored Kotlin? I'm a Java/Groovy dev during the day and Kotlin looks really slick for Android development.
