Improve Selected Piece Feedback

[RJPalmer]

Description

Make the selected checker visually obvious through improved visual feedback such as glowing outlines, highlights, or other distinct visual indicators.

User Story

As a player, I want to clearly see which piece I have selected so I know exactly which checker I'm about to move.

Acceptance Criteria

• Selected piece has a distinct visual indicator (glowing outline, highlight, or similar)
• Selection animation is smooth and not jarring
• Selection can be clearly identified within one second of selection
• Deselection removes the indicator immediately

Technical Notes

• Consider using outlines, glows, or semi-transparent overlays
• Animation should be brief and smooth (200-400ms recommended)
• Ensure the indicator doesn't obscure the piece or game board

Suggested Implementation Tasks

• Design visual feedback style
• Implement outline/highlight rendering
• Create smooth animation effect
• Test visibility against board colors
• Test accessibility of visual indicator
• Add deselection handling
