Dodane nowe reguły: Złe warcaby!

Zapomnij wszystkiego, czego się do tej pory nauczyłeś! W tej grze obaj gracze rozpoczynają z losowymi pionkami. Sprawiedliwie? Ani trochę! Jakby tego było mało, pozostałe reguły wybierane są losowo. Przeczytaj je lepiej dokładnie. Ta rozgrywka łatwa nie będzie, ale... powodzenia!

Aby sprawić, by złe warcaby były jeszcze bardziej ekscytujące, tylko zwykłe pionki mogą zostać zbite. Damki podczas bicia są degradowane i pozostają na planszy jako zwykłe pionki.

Czy podejmiesz wyzwanie?

---

Dodatkowo, następujące zmiany zostały wprowadzone:
- pomoc wyświetla ślad ruchu komputera (można to wyłączyć w ustawieniach)
- łatwy i średni poziom trudności zostały lepiej dostosowane
- ulepszenia w schematach kolorów
- textual rules descriptions improvements

Nie zapomnij ocenić BF's Draughts w App Store! Z góry dziękuję :)

This release brings many improvements to graphics, user interface and AI engine.

In-game navigation menu improvements:
- the flag icon replaces rules' name written in text giving more space for control buttons on the right side. Once tapped, an overlay with rules' description appears.
- new activity indicator surrounding the flag icon. When AI is thinking, the indicator spins around.
- training mode: new icon for "revert move" button.
- training mode: moves suggestions now appear on user's request once "bulb" button is tapped.
- added more spacing around buttons to improve accessibility.

Graphics improvements:
- the pieces can now use a texture (disabled by default, use settings to turn it on).

Engine improvements:
- improved moves finding algorithm for Dameo, Turkish and other orthogonal-based rules. This should significantly improve AI precision and overall performance.
- improved Spanish and Portuguese rules - in these variants it is obligatory to perform a move that captures the most pieces, however if there are still multiple choices, the one capturing the most of the kings must be chosen.

Other:
- automatically display rules' description overlay once the game is started with custom or random rules.
- new, nicer icons for Random and Dameo rules.

P.S. Please don't forget to rate BF's Draughts on the App Store! :)
