Hardcore mode description inconsistent with actual behavior

[milesrotaru]

The help text for enabling hardcore mode for achievements says, among other things, that you won't be able to pause the game. But you can just open the menu to pause the game as long as you didn't change the pause during menu setting. And of course you can make the menu fully transparent to cheat by taking extra time to examine the playfield. Is this intended?

[milesrotaru]

I'm actually more in favor of just changing the help text. And the alternative would be keeping the game running the menu is open, not disabling the menu.

Just remove "pause," from the sublabel?

"Just remove "pause," from the sublabel?"

Yes, but then you'd also have to enable the pause key in hardcore mode. It makes no sense that you can pause the game with the menu key but not with the pause key. Why only disable one kind of pausing? Someone needs to decide whether you can pause in hardcore or not.

Maybe force menu to be full opaque when entering to hardcore mode?

"Maybe force menu to be full opaque when entering to hardcore mode?"

That's a decent idea.
