Switch to classic get parameters

Open EsBaTix opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

The current parameter scheme is rather cryptic IMHO. I would like to see it changed to something like this

Old: ?s=3-0-0-4_54674

New: ?difficulty=3&hideTable=false&streamerMode=false&version=4&seed=54674

This would make the url more readable, trivial to change for normal users and allow for easier extension if additional settings might be needed one day.

Would you be open to such a change? I would of course try to add a way to migrate old urls to new urls.

I enjoy the current more compact URL format and would like that to continue to be supported, both for the old urls but also as an option the user can use, however I think I'm the minority in that and a lot of people would benefit from the longer URL.

I'd also say things that are set to false could be excluded from the URL? Like in this example streamerMode and hideTable

I think it would be best to include settings set to false in case the user actually wants to change these settings before hitting enter. Just better discoverability IMHO.
