Update 2024:12 - New Cards & Bugfixes

This is the first of possibly weekly devlogs where I summarize what's been added and changed over the course of the week.

This week, there's been new cards added, some quality-of-life things and a bunch of bugfixes.
Most of those bugs were in the rules engine used for automatic games since that saw some actual usage for almost the first time this week so a bunch of problems showed up and got fixed.
(sorry for writing those bugs in the first place)
If you find any more, just send them my way and I'll iron them out.

Additions

New Cards

'Boat Ghost' and 'Angelic Stairway' were released this week and are now available in-game.
Boat Ghost already works in automatic games too.

Features

• You can set your status to AFK in lobbies now, instead of just present or busy.
• When looking at a card's stats during a game, you can now hover over the effects to get a popup with a brief description of the rules for that type of effect.
• The card selector in automatic games got revamped and is now significantly better:
  It went from this:To this:(god, I wish I had an easy way to render these with transparency)

New in Automatic

The following cards are now playable in automatic games:

• Terminal Berserker / 捨て身の狂戦士
• Boat Ghost / 舟幽霊
• Return on the 3rd Mourning / 三怪帰
• Two Dragon's Protection / 双竜の守り
• Plain World / プレーン・ワールド

Bugfixes

General

• Draft games no longer ignore your format selection. (It used to always pick the beginner format)
• People's Profile pictures now always face to the right in lobbies.
• Opening the quick chat wheel above a card doesn't try to drag that card anymore.

Automatic Games

• You can't retire units summoned on your opponent's last turn anymore.
  (This one was due to a typo and I blame javascript for not telling me)
• The retire button would sometimes not be clickable. That is no longer the case.
• Picking a card from your deck to add to your hand now actually shuffles the deck.
• Triggers that happen after a card is discarded "from hand or deck" now work again.
• The second ability on 'Enju, Flickering Creature' now actually triggers.
• 'Urgent Return' is now castable again.
• 'Rising from the Deep' can't summon almost arbitrary cards anymore.
• 'Snow Angel's defense is now 0 instead of 100.
• 'Pyro Girl's ability now correctly counts the number of Fire-type units instead of counting all Fire-type cards.
• 'Guider of the Light' can't summon spells and items anymore.

Bloopers

This'll be my section where I put funny hahas that happen to me during programming.
(Note that my humor skews quite a bit towards programmer and I'm also German so you might not find these very entertaining at all)

Anyways, have Terminal Berserker doing NaN damage to me:

Or whatever this is: (I forgor 💀)
