This is pretty major, so there'll probably be something wrong with it... even though I did spend a few hours looking.
NOTES:
* If you've Retrieved it, don't delete it--- Use resources.Release(Whatever).
Textures automatically release subordinate quads.
* Most of the time, use resources.RetrieveQuad to grab a quad. Should handle everything for you.
RetrieveQuad will load the required texture, if needed.
Only managed resources have a resource name ("back", "simon", etc).
Managed resources can be retrieved with GetTexture/GetQuad/GetWhatever.
Non managed quads lookup by position/dimensions, defaulting to the whole texture.
* Use resources.RetrieveTexture only when you need to do something special to it.
Calling retrieve texture with RETRIEVE_MANAGE will permanently add a texture to the manager
RETRIEVE_LOCK and RETRIEVE_VRAM will lock a texture. It will not leave the cache until
Release(JTexture*) is called, or as a last resort during cache overflow.
* Try to only store (as a class member) pointers to textures retrieved with RETRIEVE_MANAGE.
All others may become invalid, although locked textures do have a high degree of stability. It's
pretty safe to store a locked texture if you're not going to load much between uses.
There's a lot going on here, so I might have missed something... but it runs through the test suite alright.
TODO:
* When called without any arguments, RetrieveQuad sometimes leaves a thin border around the image.
This can be bypassed by specifying a quad one or two pixels less than the image size. Why?
* I've had a crash while runing the Demo mode, something to do with receiveEventMinus?
This hasn't exactly reproduced on a clean SVN copy, (being a hang, rather than a crash) so
I've probably done something to worsen the problem somehow? I'll look into it tomorrow.
* Clean up lock/unlock system, memory usage. Streamline interface, consider phasing out calls using GetWhatever() format.
* New interface.
* This breaks a lot of things. It is not feature-equivalent. It
probably doesn't compile under windows and doesn't work on PSP.
* Damage is not resolved any more. This will have to be fixed.
* Blockers can't be ordered any more. This will have to be fixed.
* A lot of new art is included.
- fixed a bug with bottle gnomes (would give life to opponent even if you steal control)
- huge update for abilities life,draw,damage,deplete,discard in the parser. This breaks some cards (so we need to fix them) but allows more flexibility in the future. See my post on the forum
- Magic 2010 - inplay becomes Battlefield. Wagic is still compatible with both, but try to use "battlefield" from now on. For example moveTo(battlefield) instead of moveTo(inPlay)
- Magic 2010 - "Removed from game" becomes "Exile". Wagic is still compatible with both, but try to use "exile" from now on. For example moveTo(exile) instead of moveTo(removedFromGame)
- Magic 2010 - "End of turn" step becomes "end" step. Wagic is still compatible with both, but try to use "end" from now on. for example: "@next end" rather than "@next endofturn" (not sure this is more clear than before, but at least it's consistent with the rules)
- fixed card id collisions in Legends, Ravnica, Portal
- Changed Deck and Database structures with better design (a bit faster, hopefully a lot cleaner)
- updated Windows project file
- 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
- Added WEvent class, allows to send events to abilities
- Cards that change zones now becomes new objects (as specified in the Comprehensive rules). This should allow to fix lots of stupid bugs in the near future, but probably brings loads of new issues :(
- Bug fixes for Kird ape(RV), Dingus Egg(RV), Ankh of Mishra(RV), Ancient Tomb(TMP), Wooded Bastion (SHM)
- Added tests in the test suite to confirm/infirm some bug reports
- improved the parser for "lord", now can take any kind of "target", not only creature types (so it can now be used to code abilities such as Bad moon and crusade)
- fixed typos for goblin lord, zombie master, lord of atlantis
- Added "moveTo" keyword
- added a dozen cards
- 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
