I found Netty to be useful but it's a bit confusing
Before they changed it I used it and it's very good if you want a full stack but it might be slightly heavy-weight if you don't need all of it's features
incidentally do y'all know any resources for finding UK based jobs in programming? Preferably those that don't ask for you to have a degree AND experience
I was looking on stackexchange but must seem to want a degree. bleh
@DanPantry But the years without the industry. You must have learned something then as well, have you not? Any projects you've worked on that you've released?
I have... I worked on the Eluna Lua engine which I no longer maintain, the Lua tutorial I wrote obviously, I worked as a lead developer at PokemonNXT for a few months and obviously I help out @ S/O for free
@bazola Ahh, I created getters and setters for the properties (second argument to createFunction) but not the parameters (first argument)
I'll update it :p
actually just add this after class:new
for i, name in ipairs(parameters) do
class['set_' .. name] = function(self, value)
self[name] = name
end
class['get_' .. name] = function(self)
return self[name]
end
end
@Phrancis If I understand the GDD correctly, there are 52 cards in each deck, and they are all creature cards? Each card has a strength and health identical to it's 'rank' (1-13)?
@Phrancis The GDD also says a bit about the scrap resource, but it doesn't explain very much in detail about how that is supposed to work, and what cards have a scrap cost. Can cards have both scrap cost and regular mana cost?
@DanPantry I did start a MTG implementation in Java a while ago, I created functionality for summoning a creature, and summoning sickness. Then I realized how damn complex MTG is if you want to support it fully, and then I implemented Hearthstone instead ;)
@DaggNabbit As I understand it though there are two resources: Mana and Scrap. Scrap is not restored automatically each turn as mana is, and the only way to gain scrap is by scrapping cards. I don't exactly understand on which cards you are supposed to use the scrap though
> Each card has a cost in either Mana or Scrap. Each turn, the players Mana Total increases by 1, starting with 1 on the first turn. Mana is returned to the current Mana Total at the start of each turn. Unused mana is lost at the end of a turn. To gain scrap, a player takes a card that is currently in their field and places it in their discard pile. Scrap only depletes when it is used, and is only accumulated when cards are scrapped.
What if you invoke an ability that has one or more targets? Then the event also needs a target, right? Also, card attacked should also probably have a target
How can I know the deployment environment of a web application, e.g. whether it is local, dev, qa or prod, etc. Is there any way I can determine this in spring application context file at runtime?
@SimonAndréForsberg 52 cards is just testing parameter as we have been using a normal poker card deck. The actual max number of cards remains undecided
As for the scrap, simple rule is... cards of type B0T (e.g. weak, expendable cards) generate scrap, as opposed to Bios. Cybernetics (upgrades to bios) cost scrap to cast
For simplicity we played with rules where each card scrapped generates one scrap point, however we would like for a card to actually have a scrapValue
I'm thinking that we could focus on implementing those first, and then we'll modify as time goes by. Or do you and Jay want to spend some more time play-testing?
@Phrancis So Bios units are not scrapable? And Cybernetics can only target Bios (not B0Ts)? (Just checking to be sure)
Software can only be used on a Bio with at least one cybernetic upgrade. It is also non-destructible/recoverable from. We will have, at some point, cards that can destroy cybernetic enhancements but for now that's enough to think about
@SimonAndréForsberg Game has-a EventController, yes :P Although does it make sense for the Game to expose the registerEvent method? Unless it's just a facade, in which case w/e
I'm just nitpicking you understand, don't take me seriously :P
@SimonAndréForsberg as of right now, with this very early test set of rules, it is not different. But in the future, it will be. Picture a card you cast (there will be Spell and Trap cards at some point) where it strips one random enhancement, or the last one... the software one would be excluded from that list
@Phrancis: Emblem is an Enchantment that is worded in such a way that it cannot be destroyed by anything (i.e, it is not a permanent or non-permanent nor creature, instant or enchant for the purposes of any targetting)
How can I know the deployment environment of a web application, e.g. whether it is local, dev, qa or prod, etc. Is there any way I can determine this in spring application context file at runtime?
