"Last Minute" Enhancements

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Post your final v2.0 improvement ideas here.

Ideas for SelectDice:
1. display the # of currently selected dice for each type
2. a reset selection function.
3. some sort of text input for # of dice.

Ideas for engine:
1. Display a sum of all dice results.
2. Improve display of results popup
3. Clarify control mechanisms, make them more intuitive. (Change ready set roll 
message? Keep roll on screen until user moves dice?)
4. Include a button for rolling without movement.
5. Tweak movement timeout mechanic. Revisit sensitivity and duration.
6. Possibly generate a new roll result automatically on each shake, rather than 
wait for a timeout.

Re: Engine #3 - I think the Ready Set Roll message is ok, as long as we change 
the look and feel to match the rest of the app.

This is the only one I'd really like to push for in v2.0. The rest are nice 
ideas but I could live with letting them slip for v2.5.

Re: Engine #5 - Can we put a sensitivity slider in settings? We'll have our 
"sensitivity factor" as a global, just like the background. I personally liked 
the sensitivity as it is now, but I can see others wanting to tweak it 
slightly. Again, this would be a neat feature for v2.5

What changes need to be made to the look and feel of Ready Set Roll? I nominate 
you for that task since I'm sort of blind to what you have in mind there. ;)

I've attached a design as a .pdf. I'm focusing on Loaded Dice at the moment, 
then I'll dig around for the Ready Set Roll stuff.

I really want to try to implement SelectDice ideas  #1 and #2. Also, engine #1, 
#3, and possibly #4. Really going to be strapped for time though, if anybody 
else feels up to helping with this let me know.

I'm going to work on the scorecard and total screen for motherload.  So don't 
worry about updating those!  Good luck with your paper.

Just finished and committed. If there's anything else I might be back on
