Yup. The rotation bug was due to the new tile images.

I've committed the new tile image set.

That doesn't fix the bug on I15, however.

My understanding is that the B&O private is supposed to close when the B&O Public company buys its first train.

So, this should be a non-issue by the time 3-trains roll around.

Correct.

It usually is, but sometimes the B&O owner is content to receive $30/OR 
and spend the money elsewhere if nobody "helps" him float it.  It should 
be treated no differently than any other private which blocks a track lay 
-- if it is still open and not owned by a company, you can't lay track 
there.

This all has worked, but apparently some change has broken it.

Very strange, this has worked before without problems. 
I'm now working on implementing the track-preservation rule
on tile upgrades, and will try to pick up this bug and
other annoyances later this week.

Right, I'm aware of that ability, but that's not the issue I'm pointing out here.

This isn't an issue with the game rules, it's a bug in our rules processing.

The bug is that I am stepping through the game to the point where I have met all the requirements needed to upgrade the B&O's home tile and the game is tossing back an error saying that the hex can't be upgraded yet.

Just got a brainwave: when I implemented the hex-blocking feature,
I did unlock when the private was bought, but forgot to unlock
when the private closed! I knew it, but it slipped out of my mind....

The track-preserving rule now also works, except in some cases
with brown multi-city (OO) tiles.

RE: [Rails-devel] Fun with Tokens

[Brett L. <wak...@ea...>]

Great!  That's fixed.

I've just comitted additions to the mess that is token drawing.  Now we're at least drawing tokens in such a way that you can see all the tokens on the hex.  In many cases it's rather ugly and doesn't at all account for tile rotation, but at least you're being shown the pertinent information needed to play.

I'm considering whether to add compensating for tile rotation into this mess, but I think that may be something best left for waiting until John's tile rendering framework is available to pull more specific coordinate data from.

For now, it's one more step toward playability.
