So I got some feedback from reddit that people were confused about what to do when playing fortunes. Surprise to me, I’ve been working with this so long everything seems pretty natural. So I’ve made two changes recently to help make things more intuitive. I greyed out the cards you can’t play instead of just […]

So I’ve managed to get taking screenshots from the phone itself worked out instead of just capping my whole screen in the emulator. I’ve got all the necessary extra screens working for the most part but decided to share screen shots before moving on to the final one. Some of the screens are still need […]
