- Changed config loading and saving to include widescreen and tileset selections. Does in a way that is backwards compatible with version 0.7 config files

v0.7 changes
- Changed to automatically select the language based on the Wii menu language settings (Nintendo only support Japanese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch) but as Mahjongg Wii supports more languages, I have kept the language selection screen, but moved it to be accessible via the game options screen
- Added three new tile layouts - fortress, crab and spider
- Changed placement algorithm to handle complexity of new tile layouts
- Added a layout selection screen which can be accessed by selecting change layout from options menu
- Changed all the backgrounds from png to jpeg and at same time doubled their resolution so they now look much cleaner

- Added option to restart the game when paused or no more moves left
- Added option to start a new game without going back to the menu when current game has finished
- Changed so that if only two tiles are left which are on top of each other the game finishes
- Fixed bug where tile placement algorithm gets stuck in an infinite loop when it cannot place all tiles successfully. Now if this occurs it finishes the shuffle and returns to no more moves mode
- Alternated which pointer is drawn first every frame to not give the advantage to player one in two player versus mode

- Added pause to game mode entered and exited by pressing a pause icon
- I've been re-writing the way the game board works to support multiple tile layouts, as part of this I have also been developing a tile layout editor which I will also release once in a reasonable state. All this should mean that adding some of the new functionality that I want to put in will be a lot easier than before.

Play Modes
-
One player
A single player tries to remove all the tile pairs in the shortest possible time.
-
Two Player Co-op
Two players play cooperatively trying to remove all tiles in the shortest possible time. Both players can select tiles independently with each player also having the capability to finish off the others pairing by selection a equivalent tile.
-
Two Player Versus
Two players compete against each other to get the highest score. Points are awarded for each matching tile pair selected, with different tile types being worth different amounts as follows:-
Tile Type Pair Value
- Bamboo, Characters & Circles 5
- Winds 10
- Seasons & Flowers 15
- Dragons 20
If one player gets multiple pairs in a row without the other player getting any pairs, points are multiplied by the number of pairs in a row (e.g. x2 x3 x4 etc.)
Stealing - players can select tiles already selected by the other player thus disrupting / deselecting the other players choice.
