The week in Kolf: make it a game

After a few months where Kolf-NG was just a quite complex rendering engine for simple geometric objects, I thought that it is time to make it a game.

That is how my commit message reads. As usual, a picture says more than 1000 words^Wlines of code.

The new Kolf2 game engine.

Comparing to the screenshot I took two weeks ago, the attentive observer discovers a couple of important features:

• We can have multiple players at once. These are managed through the new game engine.
• There is a hole (which means that the game has an objective).
• Kolf has actual score management, and a cool new score card. (Yes, you can also put this dock on the bottom side of the window, and it will then behave exactly like in Kolf 1.)

Here is the disclaimer: The “New” button does nothing currently (only one course with a hardcoded name can be played with exactly two players exactly once). And this code is not coming to your desktop before 4.3 (unless you compile it manually). Also, you should not wonder why this new code has a localization: I’m just reusing the Kolf1 localization.
