This is somewhat branching off of the little discussion in the update thread, I still needed help and it was taking alot of space up, so this is the branch off.

Anyway, christo: I've gotten Player 1 all set-up it seems, but I finish my turn, and then it waits for Player 2 again, how exactly does this work?

basically when one client tells you it is waiting it means it it time to switch to the other client. using the instructions I gave you earlier.

1.press H to hide the client that is waiting
2.click the other other client in the task bar
3.press H again to reveal non-waiting players client
4. go through any dialogs or play until the non-waiting client says it is waiting.
5.press H to hide the now waiting client
6.click the previously waiting client in the task bar
7.press H to reveal the previously waiting client.
8.the previously waiting client should now no longer be waiting.

I will try to have my next version posted sometime today or tomorrow so this issue will go away and the game will be easier to understand.
Just finished commenting Movement.vb which was the largest file in need of comments.

Oh I see, its applicable to both before the start of the game, and after.

Here are the Version 12 Binaries
http://home.earthlink.net/~silentlightning/Version%2012%20Binnary.zip

And the Binaries + source are here
http://home.earthlink.net/~silentlightning/Version%2012.zip

Two client mode is disabled in this version and is replaced with the ability to run a 2 player game with a single client.

May re-enable two-client mode once I get it to work through a shared folder like it was intended to do. And don't worry when it is re-enabled it will be an OPTION.

As far as commenting the code this version has a lot more comments than the previous version but it is not completely commented(forgot to comment the dialog subs which manages most of the user interaction).

Next Version will probably do one or more of the following:
1.implement another game rule(like a cap on the number of cards in Hand)
2.get shared folder 2 player mode working
3.allow for multiple games in the same folder.

Will slow release time a little this time. The current release was rushed to reduce the support required for Version 11.
