problems.

The Apk includes a minimal set of cards for playing.
Additional user supplied data:
------------------------------
NOTE:
To be able to add additional resources to your app, you need to
enable storage access in the android settings for the app. Go to
Settings/Apps/PySolFC/Permissions.
Resources are stored in ~/.PySolFC/. On an android device this is
equivalent to /sdcard/.PySolFC/.
Additional cardsets can be installed in ~/.PySolFC/cardsets/.
Important: Cardsets must use the 'png' image format. Use
scripts/cardconv (on a gnu/linux system) to convert, before copying
them to the device.
Byond cardsets you may also wish to add your own backgrounds. You can
add them to ~/.PySolFC/data/tiles (patterns) and to
~/.PySolFC/data/tiles/save-aspect/ (images). 'png' and 'jpg' image
formats are supported.
