Sexy.  

May I recommend that text and background color contrasts should pass WCAG color contrast tests universally in scenarios where it's feasible to do so (e.g. Classic's TCG)?  

Considering it's Graal the Adventure, and the shared characteristics of iClassic and GtA, I was thinking it might make sense to implement spar tournies, events, etc as an "adventure" for differentiation value, particularly once your on Facebook. Maybe a fun way to do this would be storytelling. Come up with fictional backstories for players that are participating in spar tournaments, or a collection of backstories for events (why are we carrying this bush?). Maybe go full blown Disney and refer to GCs as cast members.  

I love the TCG. If only it wasn't pure luck... also some bots to play against would be fun.

I've played once, and I won, probably because the person I was playing against didn't know how it worked. Neither did I; I was just making an educated guess. Def NPCs to play against.

Yeah, maybe an interactive tutorial would be a good thing to have too. Afaik you place cards so that the numbers beat the opponent's card's numbers. The problem I'm concerned about is that you get a hand of random cards, meaning you win mostly out of luck.

There's very little luck involved. Obviously it takes time to learn so at first it may seem quite luck based but as you play more you'll find that there's a lot more skill involved. Each card has a different use and can be used in different situations so no card is really "bad", meaning any hand is good when played correctly.  

There's a lot of luck involved. Pretty damn unlucky when you get a hand that forces you to skip a turn.

However, if you're better than the person your playing with you should still win the majority of games played.

A lot of the time it's about the plays leading up to that turn but I guess there is often some luck involved. I still think luck plays quite a small role in the game, some hands are easier to play than others but 90% of the time the more experienced player will win.

Thor I wish you would just use the regular hit detection, this thing you're trying is no beuno, and I mean that with all due respect.

Thor I wish you would just use the regular hit detection, this thing you're trying is no beuno, and I mean that with all due respect.

If and when someone is able to pinpoint what exactly is different about the detection, I shall gladly do everything within my power to amend it. Using the default detection simply is not an option for many technical reasons.

I recall your post in 2012 about the inability to utilize blink and combos, with the following considered:

• Blink is lost when either a directional key has been released, an action key pressed, or 2 seconds have passed
• You are able to receive damage the same frame blink is lost. This means that if you lose blink while within the vicinity of another player's sword on your screen, you are immediately damaged and they would not receive damage from your slash attempt (as neither yourself or others would see the sword animation)
• Recoil movement sticks to walls as opposed to sliding along them, making it possible to trap players
• Recoil moves at 1 tile per frame, for a total of 5 frames (0.25 seconds), the player remains frozen for a 6th frame

What may we be missing?

If anyone has any doubts about the sword detection, I'd recommend viewing this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mBNCGL22wA  

You obviously know more about this than me but why is the default HD not possible?

Haven't read through the thread, but based on this screenshot are you trying to port GtA to the Facebook client?
