Extra credit is always given if you provide documentation to go along with
the new game. ...

I created  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379224 and uploaded a CVS diff patch and some icon files.
Your suggestion of some other visual cue other than color for usability is a good one, but I've not attempted to put that into the graphics files. I'm sure there are others who can create much better looking images anyhow.

I also attemped to update the file gtali/help/C/gtali.xml with additional documentation, but since I'm currently having an issue with yelp on my box (it crashes looking for libgtkembedmoz.so, or simply crashes when I try to sym link some recent mozilla/seamonkey versions of that object to /usr/bin), I've not been able to verify how this looks in the help system.

I avoided using the (presumably trademarked) name "Kismet" in the interface of the program itself, although I do mention it in the help file and in the source code. For the time being, I'm calling the two versions "Regular" and "Colors", although I'm not at all dogmatic about names.

The known bug that still remains is that when I change games in preferences and start a new game, I continue using the old dice pictures. The game does play with the new scoring and categories, and if you restart gtali, it uses the "right" pictures. I tried a few things yesterday to get it to replace the old images with newer ones, but I was unable to get that working. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Geoff
