I got sick of squeezing more columns in 1024 res on the list view, so now those download and delete buttons get replaced by &#8216;details&#8217; which opens this new screen for a selected challenge. All the old data is here, with room for some more, and the history of that challenge is now auto-downloaded and displayed here at the top right. You can also now see the challenge ID in the titlebar, (I&#8217;ll probably add that to the list somehow too). there are two super-exciting new things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The challenges now uplaod a screenshot of their deployment, as you can see. Obviously old challenges will not have one, but new ones will. I&#8217;m very happy about this :D<\/li>\n<li>The challenges now have a parent, because when you win a  challenge, you can send your fleet back as a &#8216;retaliation&#8217;. These get listed like any other challenge, but if you pick one of your challenges, you can see a list of it&#8217;s retaliations on the bottom window. I don&#8217;t have a super-threading view of it all, but this is a first step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My plan for this is that<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Players will be able to see what a challenge looks like before downloading, which helps detect &#8216;spammy&#8217; fleets for people who prefer not to play against them<\/li>\n<li> There will be a more on-going to-and-fro between players over who has the best fleet, using retaliations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I still have more tweaks, and a ton of testing to do, to make this work well. I&#8217;m hoping the next patch will really improve the online stuff. Ideas and feedback are most welcome, as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This isn&#8217;t finished yet, so this is just a work in progress screenshot, click it to enlarge&#8230; This is new challenge UI stuff.
