#Action text in Minimal graphics setting

When playing Quick Play in All-spin mod, it's important to know what's the last line clear performed in order to not be wounded.
But Minimal graphics hide the action text altogether, so the last clear cannot be seen, nor the amount of B2Bs stored.

Furthermore, Action Text simply can't be enabled in Minimal settings.

minimal is not supported is the thing

#

it exists for compatibility

Text rendering is expensive so that is why you can't have action text on Minimal graphics. You have to rely on the sound effects if you want to know if you made a spin or not

b2b surge is such a crucial thing that it made its way back in minimal
I really like its static version, so why not do so for action text as well

If this would be implemented, I would imagine it like this:

  • It would be disabled by default, but enablable, just like the "render TETR.IO at low resolution" is enabled by default in Minimal and is disablable,
  • Action text would appear for the usual time and then disappear, just like the animated one, however the Minimal Action Text should just pop in and out without any animation (and stay in All-spin mod until the next clear)

yea that's what I imagine as well

#

damage/spike/cancelling counter being static numbers instead of having a fancy popup style

As for action text, it would only show up with the all-spin mod (considering that text rendering is expensive, it's probably not going to make it)

#

No combo counter, just the action text (Double, S-Spin Triple, etc.)

It's required for mod_allspin though...

if playing with minimal, it would be required to remember what you've do previously
