New experimental replay mode

[dashwood314]

Hey,

as the game developer of Tichu I have added a new experimental replay mode. Let me know what you think about it.

When you have entered the Replay of a game watch out for the "Experimental Replay" link in the User Preferences section. The new replay bypasses the standard BGA replay and creates a dedicated user interface just for replaying. Notable features:

- Very fast stepping through the game.
- All four hands and passing cards visible throughout the replay.
- Ability to go backwards.
- Jump to next/previous round.
- Keyboard shortcuts for making the experience really fast.
- Score board overview.
- Red highlighting, if a passed card completes a bomb.

Enjoy! And please provide feedback here or as a PM or as a bug report.

If you cannot find the link, then have a look at this image: https://imgur.com/a/GlSvZKY

But it only works for games that were played after today's release!

This is simply wonderful: thank you so much, Dash! It is so much easier to see what is passed to everyone, and it certainly saves quite a bit of time by showing all 4 players' hands at once.
Amazing work!

Awesome!!! Finally we can see replays with ease.

Thank you.

Experimental replay makes it extremely easy to evaluate passes.

Plus with perfect information about every person’s hand, I can finally evaluate different passing conventions.

(I gave my partner PH in the game…What might happen if I keep solo Dragon/PH/A and give my partner a K instead?)

Also, it is easier to refer to a specific round and point out mistakes plus a different way to play the hand when helping another person

Useful when trying to coach/mentor or help someone else get better at this game.

Experimental replay stopped working a few days ago.
Also the feature that shows the cards in current trick and its points.
Do you think it’s possible to get them back?
Thanks in advance
