idk why but the pause and play buttons are backwards

[FreakBall]

, when you press the play button, it pauses, same the other way, idk if it was a mistake or sm but its wacky

Although it's clickable like a button, I've always seen it as an indicator of the current game state.

I laughed out loud at this post. I had a similar feeling.

I think you're right; but it's a strange design decision, and not very intuitive.

This is a standard UI problem. If it's a two-state thing, it's always unclear whether a button is saying what it currently happening or whether it says what will happen when you push it.

TBH, I think the UI for it would be better as (⏸ ⏵ ⏩ ▶︎▶︎▶︎) or something, where you click the thing you want and it highlights the current active one, rather than having the ⏸⁄⏵ swap.

This. The two-state button thing is not one of the things CO got wrong; or if so, it's one that approximately half of all humans will complain about either way.

Including that a UI element takes up more space and they should just have it swap, lol.

They still have the speed control there in addition to the play/pause, so it would actually take the same space for "⏸① ② ③".

Fair.
