Changing an existing game

[YC00]

Hi All,
Is it possible to contribute to a game that is already launched on BGA?

I'd like to implement a simple change: in Hanabi at the end of the game only generic stats are displayed (result and thinking time).
I think it would be interesting to see how many times each player discarded, played, clued color, clued number.

I have no prior experience with developing for BGA, but I imagine this shouldn't be a hard change. Still, before I dive in I'd like to see that it is even possible/allowed to contribute to an existing game.

Thanks!

The usual way would be to make a feature request, so that the developper (or BGA) can add this.

Adding a new statistic is indeed quite easy, BUT it will break running games.

Ok, thanks for the answer!
I was hoping to use this as a starter project to help me learn how to develop for BGA.
If it's not possible then I'll file a feature request.

When you register as developper you get access to the code of 3 games (Reversi, Gomoku, Hearts), and for Reversi and Gomoku there exist tutorials which help to understand the structure of the framework.
