I have just changed how some of the output commands work. Some output commands output text immediately. These are die, echo, print, and printr. Previously, output from these commands has remained visible when the program finished successfully. I have changed this, so that when a Game CODE program completes successfully, output from these commands will be hidden. This is done through CSS by giving a containing block the property of display:none, and the output from these commands will still be visible in the page source. With this change, these commands are intended only for debugging or for writing errors messages that can be seen when a player makes an illegal move.
I have made this change so that output from these commands will not mess up the display on mobile devices. It also removes clutter that was easy enough to ignore on a computer monitor but gets in the way more on a small mobile screen. I have also removed the restriction against using echo in Play mode, since its output will no longer show up unless something goes wrong.
I have also changed die to display text as an H1 heading, so that the error or warning message it gives will be more prominent.
For text that the player should see upon successful completion of the GAME Code program, you should use say, whose behavior has not been changed.
