RPS 25 tooltips

on RPS 25, we should have tooltips, so when you move the cursor over a gesture, it shows what it beats and what beats it. If RPS 101 comes out we'll need this more than ever.

I wrote an article that tells you what beat what, and submitted it. If it gets accepted, you could put a link to it instead. I only suggest this because I think you need some sort of plug in to get the things to pop up when you move over them, and because of all the pop-up blockers and crap nowadays, some browsers might not be able to view it. Good idea though.

Most n00bs dont read articles, tooltips are quicker and more convenient.

Some people don't have the computer requirements either.

I'm not trying to put pressure on Alex or anything, but if there was a link to the article the so-called "noobs" would read it (in reply to most don't read articles).

Well, we need something... Tooltips are active in several places around the site already, so why not use them?

These would be quicker. You go to RPS 25, challenge someone, and move your mouse over a gesture. Then a list pops up with all the things it beats. No need to memorize them, and this would let you pick oon the spot.

Yeah, I like it because it could be hard for some people to memorize the entire article, including all of the what beats what.

If you had a tool tip, it would be a.... quicker referense of sorts. But then again, you could just have a link to the article on the RPS page. So anyone who needs a quick check up can just click the link, look at the article, and then make there pick.

I think both would work nicely to the same effect.

Hang on- You could just change the layout so you have arrows pointing to things a gesture beats:

Rock -> Scissors -> Paper -> (loops around to rock) This works better in a triangle or other shape, but it's tough to do in the text editor.
