Game Now has Working Straights, probably


Hello! Pokitaire has received a few general updates. 

First, the game now has a little save and loading icons in the bottom left that indicates the game is indeed, saving or loading.

Secondly, there are balancing changes to two decks, one minor, another major. Minorly, the Ghost Deck has been given a slight nerf in difficulty by allowing 3 Straights as one of their legal hands. Majorly, the deck Straight Ahead  has been given a complete rework, it now holds a whole new quirk Shortcut! Not going to spoil what it does but it does turn Straight Ahead from one of the hardest strategic decks to one of the most chaotic score chasing deck.

The Straight Ahead rework is also a part of a very long running bug that has been haunting this project. I really hope none of you playing have noticed it, but the straights in this game barely works. There are so many edge cases that causes the straights detector to consider not straight straights and straight not straights. I feel like I was getting quite close to fully fixing it, but then I have to rework it for Straight Ahead's new quirk, so... this bug is definitely still out there. But again, I hope none of you playing will notice them, but if you do, then I hope you inform me!
