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).
- Card Primitives system. Check Royal Assassin in RV, 10E, M10
- Please review, is sets/primitives a good directory? Should we rename MTGCard into "CardPrint"?
- Unfortunately for now it is not possible to "override" a Primitive. A card that links to a primitive but also defines new "values" will create its own data and ignore the data in the "linked" primitive for the time being. I hope to solve that at some point...
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).
- removed some unused code. Please review!
- Added protection from() auto keyword. It is still possible to use protection from [color] in abilities, but when it is not possible, please use protection from([target]) in auto=
Two new screens (5,6):
5.) Counts of manasources per color and type.
- Basic lands
- Non basic lands
- Other source
6.) Focusing on mana produced by lands only, displaying amounts of each mana potentialy produced graphically, along with percentages - to be easily compared with following screen (detailing mana cost per colors)
- 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...
Please note that I don't plan to update this file for future Wagic versions, so if anybody wants to take over, please do. :)
Some files were updated in the process:
- CardGui.cpp - exposed the card rarity info on the alternate render cards to the translation engine. Also switched the color of said info to white on green and blue cards, imho they are much easier to read now.
- GameStateDeckViewer.cpp - exposed the term "Collection" (shown under the scrollbar) to the translation engine.
- GuiPhaseBar.cpp - exposed the strings denoting "your turn", "opponent's turn", "you play", "opponent plays", to the translation engine.
- SimplePad.cpp - exposed the special keys ("Spacebar", "Confirm" etc.) to the translation engine. Had to increase the keypad width to make room for "Abbrechen" (Cancel). I couldn't translate it differently because there's also a *spell* called cancel, and to have a different translation in SimplePad, I would have had to change the official German name of the Cancel spell, which wasn't an option.
- MTGAbility.cpp - exposed the words from which the text of mana-producing abilities is constructed to the translation engine. Please review this one and suggest a better solution - the one I chose is somewhat awkward. The translation works, but when the whole translated sentence is constructed and gets returned, the calling procedure tries to translate it again (all other ability descriptions work this way, translation takes place *after* the string has been returned). However, for mana producing abilities this doesn't work, since the costructed string can take an infinite number of diffeent forms, depending on the mana produced, and we can't translate that. Hence I chose to translate the individual words during construction, with the described side effect that the engine now tries to translate them again later in the process (and the sentence ends up in missing.txt).
- Also, cheat mode menu items now aren't denoted by the ugly "(cheat)" appended to them, instead they are enclosed by asterisks. Uses less space.

Although the feature is named "cheat mode", its main purpose is to provide a toolbox for content creators. Currently this means to help AI deck creators, but the cheat mode is easily extensible.
Features:
- To enable cheat mode, create a new profile with the super secret cheat name (shouldn't be hard to find - or just mail me if you don't want to look). Then, leave and re-enter the Options menu. You can now enable cheat mode on the first tab. Note: The secret profile name is *not* my original suggestion from the forum, I went with Jeck's alternative suggestion so that he won't have to cringe over bad puns everytime he's using it. ;)
- Complete collection: In cheat mode, there's a new option in the deck viewer, which makes sure that you have at least 4 of any card available.
- Deck integrity: When in cheat mode, and you load a deck with cards that are not present in your collection, then these cards won't be stripped from your deck any more. Instead, they are added to your collection.
- Money cheat: In cheat mode, when you click on an item in the shop, you get the option to steal 1,000 credits from the shopkeeper.
Please review my code - I just started with C++, I may make very obvious mistakes or use inelegant style. The sooner you point this out, the sooner I'll improve.
thanks to wololo and jeck for comments and suggestions.
Jeck: Do the setVisible and setHidden methods currently work? I tried to use them to hide a menu item, but they all seem to lead to empty methods - Perhaps placeholders for a not yet implemented functionality?
* Removed all calls to Release(JQuad*).
* Updated flatten(). Prior flatten was buggy beyond belief.
* Done some extensive testing, but if this causes more trouble than it fixes, we'll have to revert. It's too close to release time.
- fix issue 65 (quads when no image load slowly in shop/deck editor)
- Possibly fix issue 92, please let me know if it reproduces
- Fix issue 97 (Deck editor: weird behavior of deck display)
- Fix issue 39 - please verify
- Issue 56 can probably be closed as well
- Fix issue 86
