comment Is flashing red text a good idea for denoting an active alarm?
Agreed, flash something else, but never hide the text (which is what flash/blink does 50% of the time). You want to draw attention, but also make it easy to read the error quickly.

comment Does it make sense to put a prompt for sound or mute before a game is started?
It's not necessarily only the first time. Sometimes I play late at night when everyone else is asleep, sometimes in the day when music and sounds is okay. My preference can change every day and every night.
