Shake to collect feature

Tapping on Mines, Collectors and Drills to collect the resources is pretty annoying and time taking. This feature will definitely prove useful :o

It is nothing like voice controlling a TV when you have a remote, which is a an option these days. It is a simplified way of doing a multi step task. It eliminates the need to tap 17 times by just either tapping 2 times with the collect all button, or no tapping and just shaking. Re arming traps, xbows, and infernos was pretty simple before the update but that didn't stop them from adding the re arm all and reload all option which to my knowledge no one has complained about as they left the traditional arming and reloading way in the game. We didn't "need" those options but they were a nice improvement and option to give to the gamers. There are many positives to the shake to collect feature but the one I would enjoy the most is the amount of time it would save. Especially since I work now and have a 7 month old. It would be a lot easier for gamers like me to get on and collect on the fly in this fast paced world we live in if all we had to do was shake and then get off. Like I said it's not a "need" but a convenient option for those who would like a faster/easier option.

That's a good idea, but i think it would be easier to just put a button like "collect all" on the TH just like the traps button 😁

Honestly, I don't think it's needed, and I'd rather see Supercell spend their time on something wlse that have this hapen. But it can't hurt, I guess.

Love the shake feature, just not the spell and attacking part

You aren't the first person to say something like that so I'll respond to you but collectively replying to others that have said this.

I think you assume this would be something that they would spend a lot of time on. Honoestly it would take less than 30 minutes to write this code. All it would be is an IF statement.

IF { shake.equation = 1; copy code to collect from gm1 here && copy code to collect from gm2 here &&... && copy code to collect from ec1 here && copy code to collect from ec2 here &&...&& copy code to collect from ded1 here && copy code to collect from ded2 here&&... ;}

My coding skills are very rusty so bare with me, but it would take a skilled coder at SC less than 10 minutes to do this and maybe 20 minutes of testing and tweeking the shake equation. Then they could go back to spending the rest of their time on the "something else's"

For a newbie, you are pretty smart.

I think the error handling routines that would need to accompany this would require a bit more time than you are estimating, but its still quite doable.

Maybe for the older devices without the gyroscope, you could tap the town hall and lie, the "re-arm all" button for the traps, there could be a collect all button for the collectors. I also like the idea of new graphics when your collecting, makes it more interesting!

Ya that's true, this is such a small feature that it would require only about 17 simple lines of code a tenth grader can do (which is me). It's 10 mins tops And another 5 mins testing, each test takes about 10 secs.
