Playtester Update: Experimental Auto Layout

TappedOut forum

Posted on April 2, 2012, 12:50 a.m. by deleteme

I've been working on an automatic layout system. If the 'auto layout' setting is enabled, then when cards are added to the battlefield, they will attempt to be placed intelligently. Give me your feedback on how this works for you.

I've also added:

• A fix for transformable cards
• Double clicking cards in the hand will play them on the battlefield
• iPad Retina Display Support: Card images will be higher quality on the 3rd generation iPad
• Normalized the keyboard interactions with the tokens and draw by name field.
• Available tokens are sorted alphabetically

Is the auto layout supposed to send all of my cards to the top of the screen? Card just shoot straight up from the "hand" to the stop of the battlefield directly above them. I would like it better if lands when to a specific zone and creatures went to a different zone. Am I doing it wrong?

NM, was doing it wrong. I like it, but everything is a tad too spread out.

Honestly the auto layout doesn't lay it out in any perceivable order.

The cards just go strait to the top of the screen and stack on top of each other. I don't think that that's what you intended.

I'm using Chrome BTW if that's important.

Mpz5 it is disabled by default for now. Turn it on under settings.

Okay, it's a lot better now. Sometimes they still stack on top of each other when they are on the top row with small cards.

This hasn't worked for me for at least a week. All cards in hand are stacked on top of each other, I can only drag cards to one place on the battlefield, where they all stack on top of each other (I would guess that maybe the card width is being detected as zero for some reason).

Windows 7, Chrome.It doesn't even load in Firefox.
