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)
2nd, added a block out for optimizedhand in demo mode, ie any time its cpu player vs cpu player, noticed demo was starting matches with no cards.
3rd, added a hackish workaround to allow Ai to get eff returns on abilities using the all(this) lord workaround to target the source. Ai was not getting any returns on these abilities. now basically if the ability is a lord && !target...lets calculate this as tho source == target....
ok here goes, first, fixed a crash that would happen when ever a player would gain more then 2000 life or take more then 2000 damage...the buffer was becoming corrupted i imagine because it was too small, increasing it to 10 slots allowed players to successfully take massive amounts of damage, highest i bothered checking was about 35k gained/lost, no crash...
2nd, removed the and refactored cantcaster rule, moved it to stateEffects() and renamed stateeffects to better reflect what it will be handling,
removed sneak attack rule and moved it into stateeffects
the following ints have been converted into bool,
all the cantcasters, canputlandsintoplay is becoming a bool, the amount of lands you can play is now handled by a new varible int landsPlayerCanStillPlay (this is for my ability additional lands increase in support on perminents coming after the release)
the changes to bools were for an obvious reason, they were all ints pretending to be bools, my varibles were confusing as you would often see code like this if(cantblahblah > 0)
which to another coder might not make any sense.
these varible ints were returning 0 as false and 1 as true...changed them all to bools, same goes for putlandsinplay int, in half the places it was being used as a bool, AND it was tracking the amount, when i was coding additional land ability, this made it impossible to maintain correct amounts without damaging the rest of the code.
as a bool, controlled by stateeffects, it can now be used correctly as a bool in all cases, and the stateEffects manages the switch on it to false if you no longer have any landsPlayerCanStillPlay left.
the refactor on cantcaster was also a bug fix, it was reported to me that cantcasters were not correctly working, sometimes ai or player would still be allowed to play a card with one in play, because of the old way i had it setup somecases of bothcantcaster were reseting the cantcast to 0, basically making the check do nothing.
it is now handled in stateeffects if you have one in play, then its true, if not then false...this returns very accurate tracking of the cards instantly instead of checking as cards enter or left play.
the "both" versions now have their own bools to avoid future conflicts with the single player cantcast...
added a case for the fancy moving text, some move to library effects were incorrectly returing fetch.
fixed a Ai related bug, taught Ai not to mill itself to death basically. played a few matches which Ai was just destroying himself with a creature that allowed him to draw cards for each(whatever) in play. Ai will be a little more careful not to kill himself by Mill, also not to draw 30 cards in a turn when it clearly cant play them.
* created three new utility functions that return a vector of matching abilities, colors and types
* migrated all activated ability impl into AllAbilities.cpp. Perhaps we could break AllAbilities up into separate impl files for manageability?
One for Activated abilities, another for triggers,etc
- fixed memory leak in AEquip/ATeach
- Test suite now trims strings correctly (allows to have space between comma-separated card names)
- Added Paradise Mantle (for ATeach test)
- removed a missing wallpaper from wallpapers list
new ability lord...teach(whatever[whatever]) ability.
teach is a targeted lord, it takes the cards current target and lords it the ability. im aware of a tiny memleak it contains, but the leak is happening on parser lvl, so i need more eyes to look at it. teach is ideally used for equipment, and was designed to fix issue 244 taught abilities are not given to the source cards.
forced Ai to pay for sunburst correctly. it was choosing to pay with all of one type of mana. now it pays either max or 1 from max sunburst.
added a tiny double check for Ai to try and find something to use if it suddenly has mana in its pool. it is only a single check in a turn, but i notice it actually does slightly improve the usages of dark ritual and foreach mana producers. ideally i wanted it to check EVERYTIME. but i could not achieve it without putting the game in danger of looping. so once is better then none :/
fixed a bug with affinity where it was not counting duel lands, this is becuase of not setting it up correctly for lands with multiple types SORRY!
this fixes a bug(?) that had high priority and maintains same effect as before. removed all traces of the "bugged(?) hint" from CardPrimitive.
Issue: 498
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:

this is by no means absolutely perfect, i like it tho, and makes for some real good times with level up deck built with equips.
you will notice i added a level=number...to the level up creatures, this has no effect on players, this is just a small hint to the Ai as to when it should stop investing mana in that creature. the chances are a little over half that ai will want to level a creature, increased ever so slightly with each level up.
for equipment, the Ai will now want to equip its best Creature(determined by power+toughness+convertedcost+how many abilities it has) and will want to equip these "better" cards atleast 2 times before it is reduced. same system for prevent damage, it will want to save its "better creature" more then a 1/1 token.
for both tho i added slight bonuses...
to equip, there is a higher chance that the ai will want to target a white creature, with an extra bonus if the creature is a 1/1 and nontoken. this is to encourage Ai to equip in white weenie decks
in prevent, there is a slight bonus if the creature is a 1/1 and the blocker/blockee has a power of 1.
currently prevent damage treated this way is not coded for direct damage spell, sorry ! but for combat you will notice ai taking a stand and fighting back hard.
