Magarena 1.7

[ubeefx]

Magarena 1.7 is available on the project page for download.

The highlights are :
- 8 new cards bringing total to 2^9 or 512
- some UI improvements
- theme support and theme pack with seven themes

First let me thank epiko for the amazing work on the Magic color themes and input for the UI!
This is the first release that contains significant contributions and I hope it will not be the last.

Another addition to this release is the possibility to define custom cubes.
From now on puxl will also contribute to the project and plans to add several cards.
The custom cubes support will help preserve the nature of the game for duel deck generating.

It is now over 6 weeks that Magarena is released as an open source project.
At first I did not really plan to do a lot more work to it.
But I got so much good feedback that it it turned out quite differently.
I spent another many hours improving the UI, fixing stuff and adding new cards.
It is not feasible to continue with this pace, so I will now spend much less time on this project.

Ha, we've heard that before.

Thank you ubeefx, epiko, puxl and everyone else who has contributed!

Awesome! The theme support makes it look really professional.

How do you change the level of AI, btw? I can't find any option to do so.

@ Huggybaby

Working on a project like this can become quite addictive. But this time I will stick to it.
The game is already in a very advanced state now, so enjoy it.

@ benmac

To change the level of AI, which is 6 by default, click on the little CPU tab button in the Duel progress box. There is the AI slider.

I wouldn't recommend to increase the difficulty level,unless you own a really fast PC ,it will decrease the game speed a lot and to my little experience it won't make AI better.Now if you like to win more games as the AI is a real bad ass,decreasing the difficulty may be the thing for you.
