server update - exclude games in progress, seventh card option in twenty-nine, etc
This morning, World of Card Games was down for a short time to apply some bug fixes and new features.
Exclude Games in Progress option
Here's a brief summary:
There is now an additional option to "Exclude Games in Progress". If you only want to be seated at tables where the game has not yet started, choose this Option (click the Options button to get to your game options). Keep in mind, it may take you a bit longer to get started in this case.
The List of Tables now shows how long a game has been in
progress. If you really dislike being seated at a long-running table,
this is a good feature to use!
A few people reported to me that when joining a game in progress, sometimes their cards did not appear in front of them. This bug is now fixed. Please let me know if you see this happen again; it should not! A big thank you goes out especially to "no bots plz" and "davidly" - the two players who gave me enough information to reproduce this bug, so that I could squash it!
There is now an audio alert when a game that was paused is restarted.
You may use the "replace robots" link after a game has started, now. Previously it could only be used at the start of a game.
