Issue 656: game will now work out of the Documents directory. All settings and changes are saved and read from that directory now. TODO: Need to find a mechanism to allow updates to code without having to delete the app entirely. (hence the player data as well) Perhaps implement an option ingame to allow player to download images to the repository. Perhaps a front-end that allows users to first update the app with card images before starting the game.
