• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
At game's end, the program sends an announcement : "YOU MUST LAY 2 TILES OR BUILD A BRIDGE OR TRIGGER GAME'S END" Well, it is sometimes difficult to see where you can lay tiles or build a bridge. You sometimes have to search for a while before you see all the possibilities. I suggest that the program shows the possibilities (in dimmed colors like when you request a bridge). In one glance, you would see the last missing squares where you can lay a tile. This is not very different from what Reversi program does when it shows you where you are allowed to play.
In this case it would be exactly the same : show empty squares that can be filled by the player and bridges that can be built. Of course this is available for each player when comes his turn to play. And, of course, only after the "ANNOUNCEMENT" (for the coming end) has been done by the program;
I think this would really help novice players - and even good ones :-) - for terminating fairly.

Report history
The reason for this is, if you are showing playable squares, then you are also showing non-playable squares -- which is every square not occupied and not marked playable. This is an unacceptable aid for inattentive players. Most P.d.D. players who've played many games have made the mistake of assuming a square is playable when it isn't or isn't any longer. These mistakes can, of course, effect the entire course of the game. So, an aid that would help avoid this kind of blunder is little more than a cheat.
Otherwise, I'm neutral as regards this suggestion. It may take a minute to find those pesky, last, playable squares. Personally, I tend to enjoy that little bonus puzzle at the end. :)
