Thanks!
I'm glad you like it.
Quote: "the replay value is a bit low for me"
Yeah, that is common in board and card games.
Unless you enjoy the genre, then the replay value will be low.
I take it that you are more of an action gamer, like shooters, etc.
I think it has more replay value than tic-tac-toe, so it should be alright.
A multi-player version will make the replay value better too, especially if chat is built in.

LOL
Maybe he is too busy coding AppGameKit to give his full attention to the game.
Just be glad he can multitask, and was nice enough to play with you while he was working.

By using an installer, I can create a short cut on the desktop and all those other things that lazy users (like me) want.
Your method is fine if you don't mine sharing your media. (try running the EXE without the media folder)
Packing the game and its assets helps to protect the media.
While this method may not be 100% secure, it still thwarts off any non-technical pirates.
Also, this particular packer has a nice little menu for launching the game.
So, it saves me the trouble of having to code a re-play option in the game itself.
