Re: [Pyzzle-users] change_slide

[<an...@la...>]

I cannot say how long. It will take as long as it takes.

I would wait. But there is nothing stopping you using the current code for
testing slides/demos. But do not use it for a full game. BTW there is a
group forking the current code. So they might have improvements. I have
not kept in contact with them but here are there link:

Hope they are helpful
