Game developer by day and night. Sharing my process, failing and learning in public.

Currently crafting a card game in Monogame. #solodev

Coder, photographer and bunch of other stuff.
Still learning how this place works.
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.

Holy mackerel! It works!! Two days of coding and it works on the first try!!!
Now to quickly follow up with clicking and I can consider the input system done (for now at least)

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...

It took much longer than expected, but I finally have the card drawing logic rewritten! Now I just need to implement discarding logic and this refactor will be complete.

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.
