Hactar Go is often used to record a tournament game. Typically a player keeps a phone in the table, and records moves after they have played them.
Many players have commented that they are bit afraid they might accidentally start AI analysis when recording their tournament game. This would create rather unpleasant situation, even if one stops and disposes the analysis immediately.
Latest update of Hactar go adds tournament mode. This mode disables and partially hides all analysis tools form game recording. This mode is a bit experimental, as there are many details that could be better.
Tournament mode can be activated and deactivated only from settings. This is a bit temporary, I plan to make make better UI for this. Also I will implement history of Tournament mode changes, so that one could show that mode has been continously on during the game.
In tournament mode Hactar go changes toolbar color to board color. This is intended to make it clear that Hactar go is in tournament mode. If phone is in table, even opponent can see this.
If someone is determined to cheat, tournament mode does prevent it. Tournament mode is more against accidents and opportunistic cheating.
