I would like you to test this out, primarily with the trainer cards as I had the most problems with them. Fairly simple, neh? Please comment with any problems you have noticed or with any suggestions.

See the previous post about mouse shortcut/selecting choices.

In some instances, you'll have a choice to make in your hand, the mouse shortcut to select the card is left clicking with CTRL being held. When discarding a card in this option mode, you'll note it goes to the discard pile but does not remove from the hand (as it isn't updated), I'll fix that up later.

Oh and the AI is still in dummy mode, per say

For those curious about what theme decks are chosen randomly, here they are (lazy to reformat it):

I just finished the "battle system" for my pokemon TCG game, excluding having a "smart" AI and programming in Trainers effects as well as any other card series besides the baseset.

When you run the game, you'll go into battle (after a moments delay) and obtain one of the four theme decks of the baseset series or th two-player starter set.

This is in alpha, just want to catch any obvious problems. If you notice any problems or suggestions, please post it here :)

Here's all the buttons/mouse shortcut you need to worry about:
- Drawing
+ Don't worry, done automatically since you HAVE to draw.

- Placing down basic pokemon cards
+ Select the card, press the set down button
+ OR drag the card onto the field

- To start/pass the battle
+ When you want to start the fight (at the very beginning after placing the basic cards down) or pass a turn, press the 'Pass Turn' button. It is a purple hourglass icon on the bottom left area.

- Attach energy
+ Select energy card, press attach button (which looks like from Yu-Gi-Oh, Crosshair), select pokemon card you want to attach on, press attach button
+ OR drag the energy card on to the pokemon card

- Evolving
+ See above, use evolution button instead of attach button.
+ Mouse shortcut is the same as above

- Attack
+ Select the pokemon card, click the attack's name when sufficient energy is given

- Retreat
+ Select card, press retreat button, select other card, press retreat button
+ OR Select card, press retreat button, click other pokemon by holding SHIFT

- Discarding energy
+ Select card, press discard
+ OR drag card to field

+ If the discarding is optional, press the X button to cancel

- To quit
+ Press the white flag button on the bottom left area (yes, I know it doesn't look like a button)

- To check pokemon card info
+ Press magnifying glass button after selecting hard
+ Hold CTRL + SHIFT and left click the card

I'm finally done my 4 years of college (3 years learning + 1 year co-op).

Finally! I'm so happy ^_^

Oh, and to those who didn't know, my last post was a joke. I never released those sources... read the key words for the previous one :o

Seriously, I am very happy that I am finished college... four months before I suffer from university though :(

Here ya go.
