There should be a system where game admins can add a notification for one single player, a group of players (either the bunnies, or the hunters), or all players. The notification must have a message text and a type. The type could be [information, location_request, more?]. The admin should be able to make the notification, and choose betwoon publish now, and publish at . This should make a record in the database (tables exist already). The player interface should get the notification at the set time. When this happens the field in the Notification_Player table should be set to True.

As of this moment, iOS is not capable of receiving web based notifications. This feature is to be expected in 2020, but this is not guaranteed. The only option left is sending by an external program like telegram. It could be an option for the player to select in their preferences. This solution has the next disadvantages:

  • Telegram is not available for everybody.
  • Whatsapp has no official support for an external API.
  • Applications like Pushover and Prowl has to be installed and configured.
  • Some solutions require an Apple developer account.
  • SMS costs money.
