We like this idea and plan to implement it, though we're ironing out the details. It might be in the next release, but no promises.richd wrote:It would be good to be able to see near the 'pass priority' button what I'm passing on. e.g. The name of a phase/step or just responding to spells/effects stack.
We sympathize, but, as you pointed out, this is a simple request with a lot of hidden repercussions. We'll be thinking about it, but this would be a long-term feature rather than something in an upcoming release.richd wrote:The ability to undo actions (by agreement) would be great, although probably difficult to implement. Most games I've played have been significantly affected by some trivial error where one player has missed a crucial action by accidentally passing or skipping an action. It's a bit depressing when this happens.
We took a look at the "MWS/.dec" format offered by mtgdecks.net and noticed that it's remarkably similar to the format jMagic currently accepts right now. Both even have lines starting with "SB:". How strange is that? The only change appears to be allowing "//" to start a comment as well as "#", which is an easy enough change, so it's been implemented and will be in the next release.richd wrote:Parsing of different deck formats. e.g. The format from mtgdecks.net.
It's tricky to detect if an image is already cropped, and Java doesn't do a great job of cropping images while maintaining quality. There are numerous resources for getting cropped images, so we'll defer to those instead of trying to make our own, though the instructions will include using cropped art instead of full card art.richd wrote:Automatically cropping uncropped card images. (Instructions should also mention that images need to be cropped.)
Which text box are you referring to? If you mean the area between the large card in the upper left and the pass-priority/no-responses buttons, see the above related question. In short: sounds good, might be available in the next release.ashsaver wrote:The biggest one is displaying the phase in the text box for "you have priority". I have rushed through the phases too many times then realized I missed the main phase.
Ah, we've been dreaming about doing this for a while now. We would like to focus on making a single game as good as possible, though we've been thinking about how to do this and will continue to think on how to do this.ashsaver wrote:The other big thing is to do a whole match and allow sideboarding.
