Playtester: Support for Scrying and More Controls

TappedOut forum

Posted on April 8, 2011, 2:28 a.m. by deleteme

I just pushed up some changes for the playtester.

• Added a popup modal window that you can invoke by clicking or touching on a card for ~400ms. From here, you can move cards to the various regions, including the bottom of the library. You can also more easily modify the P/T/C values of a card through the use of drop down menus. It's glorious to use on the iPhone and iPad!** The characters to press for keyboard shortcuts for actions are underlined, so it should be more obvious to do certain things.
• Renamed the 'Help' link to 'Keyboard Shortcuts'. Maybe more people will see it and look at the playtester's capabilities.

Known Issues:

• Shuffling doesn't actually reorder the card elements. (The keyboard shortcut should draw them in the correctly randomized order though.)

Coming Soon:

• Mulligan button - For now, just refresh the page.
• Ability to track Poison Counters

Derp, some formatting was lost. Ohwell.

Share the new playtester with your friends for FNM and keep giving us feedback!

Okay, one issue I've just found is that the send to bottom of library function doesn't appear to work. It just puts the cards on top. I just used Spinerock Knoll, put the cards on bottom (using the zoom mode), and then used sensei's divining top to look at the top tree cards... exactly the same ones that were sent to the bottom. And this was an EDH deck...

Also, several times I have found that basic lands appear to clump together in the randomised decks. I have repeatedly had 10 or 11 of a basic land in a row with the new playtester, including one time were I got 19 Islands in a row. In UR. with only 31 islands (again, EDH). Possibly not an issue.

@teamfireyleader, what browser and OS are you using?

Using my iphone, I was able to send a card to the bottom. So it probably works on webkit based browsers.

Ah, discovered the problem, I was usign the draw button. Sorry for the inconvieniece. Might I suggest that the draw button actually draws cards and add a button that adds from deck? Sorry for the confusion.
