Deck Dungeon Devlog #2

Hey guys, welcome back! After a few days of working on Deck Dungeon’s game idea, I decided to start working on some features. For now, I want to start with moving the cards around and adding their properties. So first we need to define what properties the cards will have, here is what I came up with: Life ⇒ I think you already get it, it’s the total life the card will have. Attack Damage ⇒ This will define the damage the card will give on a battle. In this first part of development, I made the three cards that were planned, if you didn’t see the <a href="https://medium.com/@carolinacbmaia/deck-dungeon-devlog-1-247c34d57769" rel="noopener">previous dev log</a>, I decided to make an enemy card, a player card, and a heal card. The player and the heal card will be cards that can be moved by the player, so that’s what I made. The enemy card will be on board in every room and is not draggable. So after making the moving mechanic, I have to confess that I enjoyed going back to game dev and I decided to make a little bit more than planned. I added a property to the cards to verify if they were fighting and made a verification to check if the player dragged a card to an enemy card. So after the cards collision, they will have reference one from another and if the player drops it’s card, the fight will begin. With that, now we have the cards moving and we also have the fighting logic, a simple UI for the life bar updating according to the current battle that the card is on and if the card’s life ends, they “die”, being destroyed. About the healing card, it will restore the selected card to full life if it is not fighting. The game interface is prototype, but I decided to make a simple gif to show how things are happening right now: <a href="https://medium.com/@carolinacbmaia/deck-dungeon-devlog-2-8125246800bb">Read More</a>
