The NERVES 😭 Devlog #5

WHAT’S THE REASON??

• Stardance ending in 2 days and still my work aint done and curseforge atleast takes one day to review the mod file, so basically i m left with 1 day and full round mechanism and recipes stuff in middle of my school 😭

WHATS’ NEW:

1. While sitting and interacting with table opens a new GUI consisting following tabs:

• Game : Have a bet meter to decide the bet to place and a card selector to decide how many cards will be used in game showing via fanned cards!
• Rules : Consist of the rules and how to play instructions!
• Advanced : Settings to change the game difficulty which will actually decide how competitive game will be. It has a sheet of emerald textures which i got inspiration from sevtechAges game progression!

2. Game Initialization:

• Smaller part of devlog, but made random cards drawn when clicking Start Play! after checking if the player got the emeralds in inventory he has choose to bet for!

Actual Game MECHANISM is Here 🎰 Devlog #4

SUMMARY:

• Its enough that cards can only be used to throw and fan in hand, from now, cards can be used to play with a gambler. I know its near end of stardance and i just finished my exams so it wont be possible to launch full features but will try to make a functional MVP

HOW IT WORKS??

Currently two suits - Swords ⚔️ and Shields 🛡️ having special influence along with that, numbers 1-10 are there in the pool!

• It features a priority order that if out of two cards played each by gambler and player, the highest suit on priority order will have its effects in the round:
  currently Swords ⚔️ > Shields 🛡️

Shields 🛡️:

• If it got priority, lower the number of the card is of any of the played card, the one gets the points of the round

Swords ⚔️:

• If it got priority, higher the number of the card is of any of the played card, the one gets the points of the round

MORE BREAKDOWN:

1. Gambling Table and Stool 🪑

• Added simple models for table and stool. Table features a finite random pile of cards from where cards can be drawn normally while not playing. The deck only appears after gambler has occupied a seat adjacent to table.
• The table features two parts of 40% and 60%, smaller one being pile area and bigger one is playing area where cards will be thrown!

2. Card Front Face with Pip system ♠️🔟

• A solid white background card front face was made featuring suit pips in middle and numbers on top left corner as upright and inverted on bottom right corner!
• Shift + Right click stack in inventory while not playing also make the random cards fan with numbers and suits, swords have odds to get lower value while shields have tendency to get higher(yes, its opposite to the winning numbers, its done to make game competitive)

3. Gambler Basic Functioning

• Gambler seeks nearby stool and takes seat to challenge players and can sit up from table when right click is done on stool
• Gambler holds card fanned in his hand too when he sits near table and ready to challenge
• Removed jacket of villager while sitting so it doesn’t collide with stool and give realism!

4. Miscellaneous:

• Added msgs over hotbar while sitting on stool to instruct that if the stool is fine to play or we have to sit across gambler
• Added a table-playing state so its easy to manage behavior in playing state

Mini-Games(Animation is Here 🎴Devlog #3)

Summary:

• Finally, Throwing Card isnt anymore plain and boring as now gets a Wrist Flicking animation. Any other person in Server/multiplayer can now see player holding cards and throwing em. Made Commands such as /minigames help and /minigames config and its further commands to set desired variables!

Breakdown

1. Server Side Visibility

• Player in F5 mode or other players can see the following actions:
  ✅ Cards Fanned in hand like a map
  ✅ Player Throwing A card
  ✅ Player Taking the Stance to Throw the card
  ❌ Private shuffled deck of a player(can only see the back as the front too)

2. Config System for Server OP’s

/minigames help or /minigames for help
/minigames config and its further uses as:
/minigames get, /minigames reload, /minigames reset, /minigames set [option] [val]

• despawn <seconds> (or -1 for never)
• damage <amount>
• pickup <true/false>
• gambler <true/false>
• crafting <true/false>
• maxcards <1-9>

3.Client Side Animation For Throwing A card

• Player throwing Card can see the card pulling back and the wrist flick at the impact of throwing card!(animation is perfect, just the card positioning is irritating me, so leaving that for now) There is a FOV zoom and shaking just like the bow too!

4.Controls & Minor Tweaks

• Toggle Hand: Press [O] (customizable in Options → Controls → Key Binds) or Shift + Right-Click while holding Tavern Cards.
• One can fan his cards by shift + right clicking the stack of cards available in their inventory and same for exiting the state
• Card Stack is capped at 9 cards so it can fit in hotbar directly!

Mini-Games (Throwinggg Cards 🃏Devlog #2)

Like For Even What??

Playing Cards is cool, but cooler when thrown!

What was added:

• Now cards can be thrown with holding right click, and have different appearance 🤔on how it hit the block, more holding means more power to go far
• Thrown cards SPIN while in air
• Fixed card Despawn time at 5 mins which can be tweaked later on
• Fixed lighting flicker on thrown card which took several time to find problem
• Cards centering mechanism in hotbar and rest items are preserved but cant be seen in card state
• Just Right Click makes the card lie flat on ground while in range
• Sitting mechanism for next upcoming thing 🤫
• Entity to play with, just the mechanism of approaching to play to the playing table
• Thrown cards can be picked via right click and breaks when the supporting block is broken

I’ll love more suggestion from y’all onto the different ranks of cards as its difficult to make 52 different to manage and on what games could be played with it??
