Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
- Smarter Bot AI: The bot now plays two distinct styles — aggressive in Stop! games and strategic in casual games, prioritizing tableau cleanup and space creation over rushing to foundations.
- Scoring Fix: Scoring is now changed to only count hand, waste, and reserve card counts toward the winner's score. Tableau cards no longer affect scoring.
- Dynamic Board Rotation: In local two-player games, the board rotates on each turn so the active player is always at the bottom of the screen.
- Pile Depth Visualization: Personal piles now show layered depth indicators so you can gauge pile thickness at a glance. Card counts on piles can be toggled in Settings.
- Tutorial Improvements: Updated the tutorial to clarify that discarding ends your turn, and added a "Play vs Easy Bot" button at the end so new players can jump straight into a practice game.
- Background Audio: Music and podcasts now continue playing while the app is open.
- Bot Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where the bot could get stuck cycling a card between multiple tableau piles, freezing the game. The bot also no longer blindly fills empty tableau spaces when the opponent could immediately exploit the move.
- UI Polish: Ace card pips are now properly sized, fan-out no longer clips off-screen, and the tutorial button is now at the top of the How to Play screen.
