gtali variant contribution ?

["Geoff Buchan" <geoffrey buchan gmail com>]

Hi all. 

I've hacked up a version of gtali that can also play a slightly
different game. Rather than just replicating Yahtzee (tm), my variant
can also replicate Kismet (tm), another 5-dice poker like game, but
with slightly different scoring rules. In Kismet, the dice have colored
spots: 1 and 6 are black, 2 and 5 are red, and 3 and 4 are green, and
there are lower-section spots for 2 pair same color, full house same
color, and flush (all 5 dice same color). There are other scoring
differences, but the basic gameplay is the same.

At any rate, I've modified a copy of the source to play either version,
and to keep separate high score files for each version. The "Settings"
box would let you choose between variants. 

My version still has at least one bug: when I toggle between versions,
the I need to restart the game to see the different dice svg files. And
the original gtali ones look better than mine, too, but the colors are
sort of important to the game. 

Would there be any interest in incorporating these into a future
release ? If so, I'd be happy to send my patches to any interested
parties for comment, and, I hope, eventual inclusion. Feedback would be welcome.

Regards,

Geoff
