That is a good idea. The missing bit I am currently working on, and that I have to finish to release an alpha version of Rails 2.0 is the GameSetupWindow, that was the reason to bring that up at the moment. So if there are others features people would love to see there, it is a good time to bring them to my attention now. However I will only add the easy ones immediately ;-) On 11/14/2013 12:27 PM, Phil Davies wrote: > I like these definitions, tidies things up a bit. > > Maybe an addition to the game setup screen that lists the definition > as you have stated it above?
