It looks rather underwhelming, but my engine finally has concept of scenes. First time I had to design something like this, so the system is held up with bubblegum and optimism... but it WORKS!
Time to implement card game mechanics in this card game.

It took much longer than expected... but I am slowly adding things to the project. I spent two days trying to figure out why the logs to card details switch wasn't happening. Issue was caused by lack of type system in LUA... I like this language, but sometimes...

Yeah, I am making a game with cyberpunk theme, but this might be one step too far...
Now that I think about it maybe I could use this feature of lua for some animation or vfx... like a temporary corruption when System Integrity goes down.

It's alive!
Animation requires much more work, but is fine for testing.
Tweening was easier than I expected. I had no idea what I did to make it so painful last time. According to the schedule, tomorrow is (rest of) card game mechanics and CRT shader day!

Deck is done! So now about those animations... why do I have a feeling that implementing a tweening library will be a mess? I am super happy with progress so far. If I keep up this pace, I will start working on the proper card game gameplay loop tomorrow.

So text wrapping works! yay! but now my button labels are broken! nooo! One step forward, two steps back. Time to grab a really big hammer and whack that mole... bug... fix this madness. Hopefully this is a quick fix and I will finish card rendering today.

Speaking of small victories... I have a card! Kinda... more like a promise of a card. I just realized that I have parent-child concept in my engine... but no logic that makes them interact. And here I was thinking that I was done with engine work for a while...
