Now that we support more than 2 clients per shared buffer, we can use them
for window icons. I didn't do that previously since it would have made the
Taskbar process unable to access the icons.
This opens up some nice possibilities for programmatically generated icons.
This behavior and API was extremely counter-intuitive since our default
behavior was for applications to never exit after you close all of their
windows.
Now that we exit the event loop by default when the very last GWindow is
deleted, we don't have to worry about this.
Use a number of techniques to avoid freezing the UI for too long.
- Keep reusing the same widgets for the squares once they've been created.
- Temporarily disable widget updates.
- Avoid some redundant work on each run of reset().
Someone was playing this game and suggested a number of improvements so here
we go trying to address them:
- Add "chording" support, where you can click a numbered square using both
mouse buttons simultaneously to sweep all non-flagged adjacent squares.
- Mis-flagged squares are now revealed as such on game over, with a special
"bad flag" icon.
- The game timer now shows tenths of seconds. It also doesn't start until
you click the first square.
- Add the three difficulty modes from the classic Windows version.
