A low-impact pause button to take a tea break #24

Description

@dirkesquire

This is a lovely game, and rather addictive but sometimes you just want to take a break and do something else like make some tea or go to the toilet and come back later without having to start from scratch.

I don't think a save and continue is a good idea because then we would have too many huge players all the time.

I do think it is worth having a pause button which would:

  • temporarily remove your sphere from the game
  • you no longer build points
  • you no longer can be eaten
  • this only lasts for as long as you have this tab open in your browser. If you close your tab you need to start again.

We should also probably allow your sphere to be still eaten for 10 seconds after pausing, to avoid people pausing the game to avoid being eaten. So one needs to find a quiet area in order to pause. Also, one cannot pause while being chased.
