Ready Up

If you were a part of the previous tests and tried creating a game, you probably remember constantly having to ask if everyone is ready to start. That won't be an issue anymore, players can now mark their status as ready or not ready in the game lobby:




This quickly lets the game leader know when it is appropriate to start the game instead of having to guess. The leader's status is set to a crown to let everyone know who can start the game, and the rest of the players have either an X or a check. The player's status starts off as an X for not ready, and can be switched at any time to let their leader know they are ready to start. The status can be toggled back easily if you change your mind.

As of now the status is just informative, and it doesn't actually affect the leader's ability to start the game. That means if a player doesn't have a ready status the game can still start. This will likely change in the future, but first a booting system will have to be implemented in addition. One thing at a time.
