Subject: Extract shared tile distribution and bag logic into tiles.js
X-Git-Url: https://git.cworth.org/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5864a81920a302453ce0c1dc7019f5e7c7c06f0e;p=lmno-server

Extract shared tile distribution and bag logic into tiles.js

Letter Rip now imports from the shared module instead of defining
its own tile distribution and make_bag(). This prepares for the
Anagrams game which will reuse the same tile bag (without blanks).
