[share] Grid-based game for Pythonista

[chriswilson]

Hi @omz
I'm glad you're getting the hang of the game. Thanks for the pull request - I've merged it. The squares thing is now fixed as well - it must have changed during my edits earlier. Seems to working fine now.

Thanks again!

@chriswilson Oh, one other thing: Are you on Twitter? I sometimes tweet about cool projects that are made with Pythonista, and I'd like to give proper credit (I'll just link to your GitHub otherwise). There is a chriswilson, but that doesn't seem to be you.

@omz Unfortunately I'm not on Twitter (yet). Feel free to link to my GitHub repo though. Thanks!

Oh and I should say thanks to @Cethric and @JonB who helped with some queries in this post last month.

@chriswilson Thanks, I've posted a little video (with custom color scheme).

[chriswilson]

@omz Thanks! I like the colours!

@chriswilson I just noticed a little bug: When you start the game while the device is in landscape mode, the layout isn't calculated correctly, because you're using get_screen_size, and the width/height are swapped in this situation. Could be fixed like this, for example:

screen_w, screen_h = min(get_screen_size()), max(get_screen_size())

[chriswilson]

@omz Thanks. That fix works a treat! I'll commit it to GitHub shortly.

@omz @chriswilson A shorter solution is just to write

screen_w, screen_h = sorted(get_screen_size())

I've noticed that the timer does not always reset when closing the settings screen and I cannot figure out why! The cancel() and save_settings() functions both call the new_game() method, and a new grid is made, but sometimes the timer is part-way through its cycle. Any ideas?
