This still could be improved - DeckMetaData's constructor loads an MTGDeck object to parse out the name of a deck from its file. This means that we crack open 106 files on the first attempt to show the list of opponent decks. I started optimizing this, but reverted, as the list itself is sorted alphabetically. Currently, with these mods, it's still taking 4 1/2 seconds on my psp to load the opponent list on the first go around.
While at it, did some cleanup - removed the need for passing around a player pointer in some of the DeckStat functions, 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 AI Decks unlock system. Please update your graphics folder, and crossing fingers that Ilya B. is still around as I don't have the correct fonts.
TODO:
change literals to use constants,
refactor the rendering code for the menu to have be leaner.
add text scroller to list all the tasks.
* 1st implementation will list all the tasks.dat
* 2nd round will try to get the scroller to only display relevant tasks to ai
Special thanks to wololo and MootPoint for helping me hammer this out. To abrasax, for the initial design of the layout.
Also fixed the project includes so that we don't need to always use the indirect include path, ie:
#include "../include/foo.h" -> #include "foo.h"
I'm don't know much about make files - if I busted the linux build, mea culpa, but I think we're okay on that front too. For future reference, here's the most straightforward link on the topic of adding pch support to make files:

- Adding (dead) code for Story mode. This is FAR from being ready so it's deactivated in the code. I just don't want to create a branch (I'm lazy) and I'm fed up with synching. My Goal is to have a tutorial ready with this for the release after this one. If you want to test it (Note: the sample story is not interesting at ALL), just look for "Story mode" and uncomment (3 occurrences). PSP Or Linux need additions to the Makefile...
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).
* Decks now support naming and renaming. Also added a "Switch decks without saving" option.
* Removed unused static const char * menuTexts, from old 6-deck limited system
* Keypad didn't display correctly when not given a title, and was never destructed. Fixed.
* profileFile() default behavior was to fall back to RESPATH/player. Fixed.
* New iconspsp.png, updated look to seem like PSP buttons, added some extra (unused) button icons.
- no more 5 decks limitation for Player
- Player decks can be given a name/description the same way we do for the AI. No PSP Gui for that yet though, has to be done outside of Wagic (PSPWrite ?)
