A click while a door is still opening gets lost or runs twice

Objects that play an animation, like doors, chests and levers, either ignore clicks in the middle or pile them up into a mess. This entry shows a small rule for what should happen with the click, and when an old click must be thrown away.

Why this works

A click that comes while something is busy is a wish, and wishes go stale quickly. Keeping only the newest wish, and letting it fade, answers what the player meant without replaying a pile of old clicks after they have moved on.

When not to use it

Skip it when every click must count, such as a counter or a vote, or when the animation is so short that a click can simply be ignored. Count each click in a separate tally, or just make the animation faster.
