- removed every references to the gameobserver singleton. This object can now be instantiated several times as it's needed for minmax. To be able to do that, I mostly added a reference to a gameobserver from any targetable object (cards, players, spells) and abilities.
-- Tutorial Messages are an ability like any other, except it can only be displayed once. Subsequent calls are ignored, the ability is removed from the game as soon as it is added
-- This allows to add event triggered messages ingame. Messages are either text, or images (I don't have an image sample, but rules/classic.txt has a few examples that might help)
-- only tested on Windows, although I made sure the PSP version compiles. Hopefully I also made the necessary for it to work in the touch version (touching the screen should be enough to close the tuto message)
-- Room for improvement: possibility to choose a title in text mode, possibility to have some messages depending on others (e.g.: don't show message X until message Y has been shown), improve some of the abilities and triggers to give more flexibility, add events outside of game, to allow tuto messages in deck creator, etc...
finishing up my reformatting of the source from November/December following the guidelines that were posted.
some extra things I added:
* Any empty virtual declarations were kept to one line.
* Enums were split up into separate lines to promote uniformity across all headers. ( each header file had a different style for enums)
Added basic transition system that works with GameApp's phases. Currently does a fade-out between elements, which works well in some places and not-so-well in others. We'll definitely want to think about where and where not to use it... they'd work a lot better if we could spawn a thread to handle loading the next state while transitioning.
Also cleaned up the shop a bit, so it uses ReadButton() instead of GetButtonClick()-- hence the slight change to JGE. Added a tiled image for the task board, which loads conservatively (I tried 128x128, but it didn't look as good).
Gives the user the opportunity to earn some credits for performing various tasks.
Known bugs removed, tested stability-wise, not so much game-wise.
Lots of to-dos and ideas still remaining, better balance between task difficulty and their rewards needed - please comment.
Usage:
Enter shop, open menu, select 'See available tasks'.
All tasks in the list are active, until they expire ('Days left'; day passes after each duel (won, lost or quited)).
You can finish any of the tasks and get bonus. For particular task, the bonus gets a bit smaller every day (until expiration).
