New Hint System

New Hint System

Included in the newest Rallenge update, there is a new feature regarding the Hint system. It is now possible to add more than one hint, up to a maximum of 3, on a marker. 
As before, each clue will cost one third of the total score for each marker.

To use this new feature, in the marker editing menu, go to the "Hints" section.

Here you can add up to a total of 3 Hints.

As in previous versions, the player can access to the Hint menu by tapping on the "Hint" button on the marker:


Additionally, once the first Hint is unlocked, a new button has been added to show all unlocked Hints:


By tapping on it, all the Hints that the player has unlocked will be shown:



**(This new feature will not negatively affect markers that already had Hints added. All existing Hints information from games created in previous versions has been migrated. All existing hints in your games will still be available even with the update.)**
