All configuration features, image selection with preview are now available; more than 10 BUGs have been removed from the previous version; also the BUG, for which the preview displayed very ugly images (color conversion defect), has been fixed.
However, since I developed the game in Borland Delphi, rather than Embarcadero Delphi, I did not have any software libraries to handle .GIF files and I used the public domain library "GifImage.Pas", created by Anders Melander and Reinier Sterkenburg;
this library has a known limit: if the image, which you try to load, is damaged, an error is displayed, but the Puzzle32 application crashes. In reality it is just reduced to a "ghost": you can close it by clicking on the taskbar and choosing "close Puzzle32" or through Task Manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and End Task; the resource usage, as you can see, is 0.
The next time, since the configuration has been saved, select SCAN: ON from the Puzzle32 SETTINGS menu.
Puzzle32 now has 4 soundtracks and 4 menus: it has reached 50% of its development.
