@david-geiger Thanks for the pull request. Yes, I think this change is very much needed. It looks good to me; however, we will probably need to test the gameplay with your changes before we can fully approve and merge them.

Thanks again. More contributors are always welcome.

Thanks for the PR. We should be able to get this play tested quickly.

We're also trying to get our 0.9.0 release out the door; would you please also open a PR against our 0.9.x branch with the same changes?

I don't really know how to do a PR for a separate branch.

In the screen that you get when you click Create Pull Request, you can choose which branch (and fork) to target for merging into. You can use the same source branch, but target a different branch, in a separate PR that way.

Let us know if you can't figure it out. Thanks!

Please reopen this as it fits against our master (0.10.x) branch AS-IS.
