update: ah, I just got the idea behind the timeout: by "disabling the
countdown", the game gets even harder ;) ok, if you want it so that one
has to read the game description with time already running, then you
definitely have make the desc more prominent (bigger, center aligend, to
make the eye automatically focus on it, cause right now this big
countdown distracts me totally from reading the description) and then
raise the default timeout setting of 4 Sec. That is way too optimistic
for game beginners ;) to require them grasping the idea and reading the
desc AND memorize the grid.

Currently the default simply puzzles and frustrates the beginner which
just made me close the game again (together with the other errors.) My
recommendation would be to get rid of the extra countdown and exchange
that with a start button, enabled by default, and description and start
button displayed together, centered in game window. Trained users might
then disable this start button - option description perhaps: "Start
timeout immediately for memory games."
