Devlog #03 - Implemented Tractors and Consecutive Pairs
This update adds support for Tractors and Consecutive Pairs, labels players’ plays and bids with their names, and includes several bug fixes.
Also, the project hasn’t shipped yet, but you can still download and try the latest version on the GitHub Releases page.
Gameplay Improvements
Players can now play Consecutive Pairs, including Tractors, which are pairs of cards in the same suit that are consecutive in power. This makes the game essentially* feature complete in terms of gameplay functionality.
*Some rule sets also include throws. They are not currently panned because they significantly increase implementation complexity.
GUI Improvements
- The players’ locations (relative to the active player) are labeled with their names (currently “Player 1”, “Player 2”, etc.).
- Plays containing more than two cards can now be shown (previously unneeded, but now necessary with the addition of Tractors and Consecutive Pairs).
- Offense and defense points are now displayed throughout the game.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the round leader not updating correctly.
- Fixed the trick leader not updating correctly.
- Fixed an issue where players were incorrectly forced to play a pair if they were out of the led suit when a pair was available and a pair was led.
- Fixed a miscalculation of the offense and defense points obtained in a round (also causing incorrect round transitions).
Future Plans
- Add main menu.
- Show more information about the game.
- Ship the game once the above are done.
- Long term: Create an AI (using machine learning) to play against.
