Re: [Rails-devel] 1825 patch

Well, that was simple indeed. The white fake tiles are now gone. Hexsides
can be declared "open" which means that track can be laid against these
sides even at the board edge. I have applied this to the map of 1825U1. As
far as I can see now, such track is ignored by the revenue calculator.

I kind of like the idea of having half-hexes to plug onto the top/side
of the map from an aesthetic point of view, however, in terms of time
spend, I think it might end up being more worthwhile being able to
define edges that are 'safe' for pointing track into (and that
automatically act as a terminus of 0 value perhaps?

I'm not sure how tricky that is, of course, but it would sidestep the
issue of even needing these extra fake hexes anyway.

[EV] Yes, that shouldn't be too difficult. I'll try it out one of these
days.
