If a search is done for a game using specific options and if no games are found then display a button to Start a game with the same options used for the search.
Alternative is to add a button to the "Start a Game" feature to first search games waiting for players that match the specified game type and then allow the user to create the game after the search.
Specifics/Details:
Option 1: If a player is using the Game Finder feature to look for a waiting game for a specific map with specific game options and if none are found then instead of just a message "no games found" it also shows a button to "Create a game" with the options used for the search. This will only work if specific game options are used ie. only 1 of Chained, Escalating, or Unlimited is specified.
Option 2: On the Start a Game add a button beside the "Create" to do a "Search". This works the same as the Game Finder feature except that the user has an option to create the game after the search.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- Reduces the number of duplicate games waiting for players
- Allows a player to search for a waiting game on a specific map with specific options and if none found then create a new game with just one click.
- Saves on number of mouse clicks. Makes it easy to join an existing game or start one if none exist.
- Takes a great community game website and makes it even better!
