Kitsune: Word Game

**Add friends in person, instantly** New **Add Friend** hub, reachable from a new button on the Friends screen and from the New Game sheet. Two big buttons: **Show My Code** and **Scan a Code**. Show My Code fills the screen with your personal QR code and keeps the screen from sleeping while it's up, so someone else can point their camera at it. Scan a Code opens the in-app camera scanner. Successful scan? You're friends immediately — no pending request, no waiting for the other side to accept. Since you're both physically together, that step doesn't help anyone. **Permanent friend codes for remote adds** Every player now has a permanent 8-character friend code, formatted like `ABCD-WXYZ`. It's shown on the Show My Code screen (tap to copy) and in a new Friend Code section in Settings. Share yours with a remote friend and they can add you from anywhere using the new **Add by friend code** screen. Remote adds still go through a friend request that the recipient has to accept, since you can't verify identity over a shared code the way you can with an in-person scan. The pending path is the same one the old invite link uses. If you ever need a fresh code — Settings → Friend Code → Regenerate. The old code stops working immediately. **Friend-request notifications** A red dot now appears on the **Friends icon** at the top of the home screen whenever someone is waiting for you to accept their request, and the **Requests tab** label carries the same dot inside the Friends screen. Both are live — they clear the moment you accept or decline the last pending request. On top of that, if you have unseen incoming requests when you open the app, a short bottom-sheet popup surfaces them with a **View** button that jumps straight to Requests, or a **Later** button that hides those specific requests until brand-new ones arrive. It won't re-nag you on every launch about the same request you've already seen. **Bingo and new-high-score celebrations** Play all 7 tiles from your rack in a single move, or beat your personal best game score, and the board now bursts into embers, wisps, and leaves with a big **BINGO!** or **NEW HIGH SCORE!** callout. Only fires on your own play moves — passes, swaps, and opponent turns are quiet. When both conditions apply on the same move, the new-high-score animation wins. **Bug fix — deep-link invites land on the right tab** Tapping a friend-invite link (from a text or an email) used to land you on the Friends tab even though the invite created a pending request in the Requests tab. Fixed — invites now open directly on the Requests tab so you can see and accept the request without hunting for it.
