Added Some Player Tracking Ability

Hi all,

It has been a while since I posted an update for everybody, so I figured I would compile the latest version and post it so you can see what is coming up.

I added a small grid on the left hand side that will be used to track how many times a player wins a particular hand. I'm not 100% sure how this part will work just yet, I think I will allow the user to reset the grid whenever they want, and it will automatically reset when you change the number of players on the right hand side.

Work continues, slowly but surely. I have much more in store for this application.

Work stalled

Well work has temporarily stalled on the hand analyzer. I haven't forgot about it, but a new project just started at work and that leaves me less time to self-teach myself Silverlight.

I posted the latest build up, so everyone can play with it. It isn't much different than the last build, except it allows 5 players now. I think I need a smaller deck of cards if I am going to try and squeeze 10 players onto this table, either that or I need to increase the size of the table. I dont want to do this because it might cause problems for people with smaller resolutions than what I am running.

This is a fun project, and I will definitely work on it more, but for a little while work is going to be going at a slow pace. I need cards with smaller images (I can probably just resize these ones if I need to, in fact Silverlight might have an object that I can use that will resize the image for me.

As always, feedback would be much appreciated. Early feedback makes it a lot eaiser for me to change the application, and the earlier I fix / create something the easier it is to integrate. Late fixes always seem to be more difficult/sometimes impossible without a total rewrite.
