stats generation. No data needs to be written to the deck master files themselves.
Now the mana colors will only show if you have battled with a particular deck at least once.
This is not retroactive, so you will need to battle the ai again. This can not be edited manually
either to prevent tampering with the statistical data. Player deck mana color display is also
covered this way.
Decks will still be saved in the new layout if a disk write is necessary. So any changes via
the deck editor will result in a deck file rewrite is was always the case.:)
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.
This change makes use of caching the DeckStats and DeckStatsWrappers into singleton caches that
get flushed when you quit the game. The initial load time will be significant as lazy loading has not
been coded yet for the ai decks.
TODO: lazy load the player and ai decks as they appear on the screen. Currently, each screen loads
all decks.
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.
fixed some layout issues with detailed info popup
changed requirements for detailed info popup button to be determined by the number of wins aginst AI deck instead of just the number of games.
- Displaying title for each page
- In screen showing games against AI, displaying actual number of games won/played in addition to percentage
- Added two new screens (3,4) - mana cost/color breakdown for creatures (3) and non-creature spells (4)
More to come...
- Added a few "stats" to the main menu. This might slow down loading times on the PSP (needs testing). In that case I'll move it to the options, or optimize it if needed
- It is now possible to have avatars associated to each Deck
- Added SFX
- Added Music files
- Possibility to choose your opponent
- Opponents' difficulty is measured according to their number of victories against a given deck
