Voiced announcements!


In this update I added a first iteration of voiced announcements when the blinds go up. It's not enabled by default, you can find it in the settings. I use the Google Text-To-Speech API for this, so if the voices sound like the voices from Google Maps, that's why :)
Of course, this feature will only work if run with an active internet connection, so if you don't have that it's best to disable the feature.

It is currently only announcing in English, because Google TTS cannot say "blinds" correctly in Dutch, French or German. Nothing much I can do about that.

Other new (requested) features:

  • It is now also possible to toggle vibration warnings in the Android version.
  • Press space-bar to pause the running game
  • Time slider can be moved while paused

(edit: I noticed a small bug introduced by updating Unity; Unity added a new event when text is entered in an inputfield, the program did not register that event yet, this has now been fixed. 1.4.2 remains compatible with 1.4.1 on Android, where this issue does not exist.)

Time for our quarterly tournament this weekend, so I've updated my local install.

Love the addition of the text-to-speech announcements!

A couple of notes on it:

  • there's no mention of an ante if one is set
  • there's no announcement if the level is increased or decreased by an admin ( exception - going back to level one replays the tournament starting announcement)
  • can the toggle for the standard sound options (level start, level warning, etc) include a text-to-speech option in addition to muting or selecting an audio file to play?

Good suggestions, I'll add them! Thx!
