I just finished the "battle system" for my pokemon TCG game, excluding having a "smart" AI and programming in Trainers effects as well as any other card series besides the baseset.

When you run the game, you'll go into battle (after a moments delay) and obtain one of the four theme decks of the baseset series or th two-player starter set.

This is in alpha, just want to catch any obvious problems. If you notice any problems or suggestions, please post it here :)



Here's all the buttons/mouse shortcut you need to worry about:
- Drawing
+ Don't worry, done automatically since you HAVE to draw.

- Placing down basic pokemon cards
+ Select the card, press the set down button
+ OR drag the card onto the field

- To start/pass the battle
+ When you want to start the fight (at the very beginning after placing the basic cards down) or pass a turn, press the 'Pass Turn' button. It is a purple hourglass icon on the bottom left area.

- Attach energy
+ Select energy card, press attach button (which looks like from Yu-Gi-Oh, Crosshair), select pokemon card you want to attach on, press attach button
+ OR drag the energy card on to the pokemon card

- Evolving
+ See above, use evolution button instead of attach button.
+ Mouse shortcut is the same as above

- Attack
+ Select the pokemon card, click the attack's name when sufficient energy is given

- Retreat
+ Select card, press retreat button, select other card, press retreat button
+ OR Select card, press retreat button, click other pokemon by holding SHIFT

- Discarding energy
+ Select card, press discard
+ OR drag card to field

+ If the discarding is optional, press the X button to cancel

- To quit
+ Press the white flag button on the bottom left area (yes, I know it doesn't look like a button)

- To check pokemon card info
+ Press magnifying glass button after selecting hard
+ Hold CTRL + SHIFT and left click the card

Wow, pretty damn cool..I haven't touched pokemon cards since before the Gold/Silver ones came out. Pretty much the only thing I kinda noticed was the switch in window to get your booster pack(when you win?) but I'm sure that's just a "replace this" right?

Yeah, that is suppose to lead you to the regular map but I am planning to change the layout so only one map element is present (which otherwise doesn't let EDGE_PERSPECTIVE work correctly if there's multiple maps on non-default ones (despite making it default afterwards) for some reason).

Trainers, especially computer search, is such a pain.
