Hi Simon/Chris, love your games and app and compliments all round. The Tents game is known to me from Dutch newspapers where it's a regular in e.g. Trouw. When I play the paper version it's really useful to be able to cross off trees when they're 'dead', i.e. they already have a tent under them. This speeds up solving and helps focus. I've noticed that this feature is not yet available in the app.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if double clicking/long pressing on a tree put a cross through it to indicate that this tree already has its tent and is thus no longer 'live'.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It's not the same as marking the tree red when it has no possibilities left for a tent. This is also useful but only to signal an error. The dead tree feature is very handy e.g. when a tent has been placed but it's not yet clear to which tree it belongs, since there is more than one candidate tree for that tent.

Additional context

I'm a junior coder so would be happy to help create/adapt code if I can as a learning project.
