Title: How to Use Invisible Text/Spoilers in the Chatroom
Post by CraggyCornmeal on Dec 18^th, 2018, 8:27pm

Invisible text, a.k.a. a spoiler, is useful when you want to say something that some people may want to avoid reading, such as the answer to a puzzle. To read it, people will have to highlight it.

Here's how to enable invisible text in the chatroom:

1. To open the chatroom, log into the gameroom (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/gameroom/) and click Chat near the top right of the page.

2. Hit ctrl+shift+j (chrome) or ctrl+shift+k (firefox) to open the javascript panel.

3. In the javascript panel, type

colors[0]=color

and hit enter. Then type

colors[1]='ffffff'

and hit enter again.

4. Exit the javascript panel. In the chatroom, go to the Colors tab. The second color will look like dark red, but it will make everything you type invisible.

5. To stop typing in invisible text, click a different color. If you refresh the tab, the second color will go back to making your text dark red.

Clyring explained this in the chatroom on June 24/25, 2017, which you can read in the archives. (http://arimaa.com/arimaa/chat/arch.php)
