Forge Android App: 11-13-2016 Alpha 1.5.58.002

[drdev]

Awesome app! I got a crash dialog when I clicked New Deck (from the list of constructed decks) and entered the deck editor.

Note that I have only downloaded about 90% of the (low quality) card images so far; some are still missing - perhaps that explains the error?

Yeah, you should be able to continue past that error without issue. Reminds me that I've been meaning to trap that exception to prevent the dialog appearing.

So I've been working on adding targeting arrows, and I'm excited to share my progress.

As you can see, in addition to displaying arrows connecting blockers with attackers, it also displays arrows connecting spells on the stack with all cards (and players) that they target.

The blue arrows that are used in the desktop game for connecting equipment and auras you control with permanents you don't control, such as Pacifism type auras, don't require arrows for the mobile game since they display attached to actual card they're equipping/enchanting. So the only use of the blue arrow is for paired creatures at this point, as shown in the second screenshot.

Note that the arrows here are straight instead of curved like in the desktop game. This is the result of it being near impossible to create such a curved arrow that looked good using the graphics tools available with libgdx. I did the best I could, and I think they look pretty good. Even what I came up with took awhile to get right.

Let me know if you think the combat and stack target arrows should be different colors or if them both being red is ok. Also let me know if you think arrows should be used for any other purposes.

Thanks.

EDIT: On further thought, I decided to use red arrows if the spell's controller is an opponent of the spell's target and blue arrows if the spell's controller is the same as that of the spell's target. This way it differentiates friendly spells and attack spells.

[drdev]

Here's a look at what targeting players, multiple targets, and the friend vs. foe color distinction will look like:

[drdev]

I just released 1.5.21.006, which includes the targeting arrows described above, as well as a fix so cards properly appear in the flashback zone if they're castable from the graveyard, exile zone, or library.

I'm very excited about this app Sadly I tried to run it on my Motorola Droid 4 and here's what I get when I go past the very first menu:

Sealed deck screen on Motorola Droid 4

and if I press "edit deck":

Edit deck screen on Motorola Droid 4

Is this fixable?

(The Droid 4 has a sliding physical keyboard that when opened up forces "landscape mode", but it looks like Forge is oblivious to this, and always uses Portrait)

Forge forces portrait mode because that's the only way the game can be layed out right. Are you sure there's no way to make your phone use portrait mode? And does it look that way even when the keyboard isn't open?

I just released 1.5.21.007 which includes the following fixes:

• Improve target arrow appearance
• Prevent displaying bug report dialog if an image fails to load
• Fix issue with +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters not updating P/T overlay

Can you try manually deleting Forge/res/ then re-run the app?

[drdev]

Are you connected to the internet?

[Garryvalent]

Are you connected to the internet?

Yes i am, but i dunno, when the forge start up, the application didnt connect to the internet. when i change to another application, the internet is connect normally

I'm excited to announce the release of 1.5.21.008, which includes full variant support! You can now play Vanguard, Planechase, Archenemy (normal and rumble), and Commander games from the Constructed screen, or any combination of the 4.

It works a lot like the desktop game, except you select the variants using a combo box at the top right of the screen. You can single-select any variant (or none) straight from the combo box drop down, or click "More..." to jump to a screen where you can select multiple variants.

Buttons for Commander Deck, Planar Deck, Scheme Deck, and Vanguard will appear for each player based on your variant selection, which each jumping you to a screen where you can select or create the desired deck or vanguard.

Once you start the game, the commander, plane, vanguard, and scheme cards can be found in the Command zone, which is the rightmost tab inline with each player's avatar.

Let me know if you have any questions or problems regarding the new variant support.

Thanks.

I'm excited to announce the release of 1.5.21.009, which supports playing all of Forge's sound effects!

If you wish to turn the sounds off, you can either turn sound off on your phone or toggle off the Enable Sounds setting that's now at the bottom of the settings screen.

Note that this release also fixes an issue where loyalty wouldn't update for planeswalkers when adding/removing counters, as well as eliminating the exception that occasionally occurred when generating random color decks.

I'm planning to look into adding more sound effects as well as background music in the near future. If you have anything to offer to that affect, please let me know.

Thanks.

[KrazyTheFox]

In the somewhat distant future I could contribute some orchestral music. I've got all the tools for composing and tons of professional grade sound libraries for it. The only thing is I've been in a huge creativity slump for a while. If you're going to add the feature though, I can certainly see about contributing to that at some point of time.

I can also do electronic music, but that doesn't really scream "Magic" to me.
