Go's game board
A button set immediately makes me think of that kind of game where you can only play one card or place one piece at a time. It's only ONE, not all at once, and you have to think carefully about the consequences of that choice.
I think the Go game board is one of the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing there is. The demo I'm showing isn't the full game (I don't even know all the rules), but the way the pieces are placed is quite practicable, thanks to the button sets. The 290 white pieces are one button set. The 290 black pieces are one button set. And the "BLACK/WHITE plays" buttons are one button set.
Each black pawn has 3 states: Normal = no fill but clickable. Selected = filled with the image of a black little stone. Deactivated = filled with the image of the same black little stone. They are all on a “Black plays” layer. With button sets, you can only show one selected pawn at a time. It becomes “desactivated” when you click the “Black plays/DONE” button. And the “White plays” layer appears with all white pawns to be selected. Et voilà. On the next turn, you can only bring up one new selected pawn, except for those already deactivated.

You built an entire game using three button sets. That's incredible, Thierry.
This is incredible! Thanks for introducing us to the game.
