About OCard !

• OCard is a 2Player GameCard ( TPT )
• Every players has a Deck which allow him to play, he can draw cards to his hand, or set as many card as he wants ( if condition of playing are true ), cards are played in the FieldZone ! which is compounded of two under-zone ,( Vessel/Fleet  Zone , and Tactic Zone )
• Vessel/Fleet Zone : For Vessel Card, simply as Monters Card!
• Tactic Zone For Tactics Card, simply as Magic Card !
  in addition of, that each player has ist own JunkZone ! for used and Discarded Card !

How to play !
Simple ! First OF all , draw a Card from your own deck and add it to your hand , then, you can Deploy a Vessel card in the your FleetZone , and / or use a tactic card ! only one Vessel Card can be deployed per turn per player Contrary to tactics card !
FleetZone & TacticZone are Limited Zone, sO , each card player occupe one place in the Field !
if you dont have any freeZone, you can play card of this type !
after this, you déclare battle to your Opponent.... or not . 
Then, you Ends your turn .


Until Now, cards are in two spicies , Vessel & Tactics, i'll add other Types later ...
Each Player has to Collect a sum of RESSOURCES to win  ( by attacking )! ( not avaliable in this version )

Inside Turn :
Every turn is compounded of Steps :

• DP : Draw Phase : The Player can Draw a card in this phase (if the deck is empty, gameOver )
• SP: Standby phase : Phase where some cardEffect are activated ! ( not avaliable in this version )
• M1 :Main Phase 1:this is the principal Phase of the turn, you can play VesselCard or Tactics-One ! or change Fleetcard position
• BP: Battle Phase : in this phase, you can declare battle using your deployed Vessel  in your FleetZone to attack your opponent !
• M2 : Main Phase 2: Similar to MAIN PHASE 1 , but just that the BattlePhase is over ! 
• EP: this is the End Phase ! ( ends of turn )

Few Fundamental notion

• No IA avaliable, you'll play for the two player at same time 
  
  
• A Player can Only déploy one Vessel per turn, and use as many tactic cards ( except of a use of tactic card that allow an extra deployement of Vessel )
• Vessels Can switch between two position, ( Offensive mode and Retreat Mode ) equivalent to ( Attack & Defense )
• A Vessel  can change a position once per turn !
• If A Vessel  has already attacked or just deployed during this turn, it can't change its position til next turn!
• A Vessel can only change its position in MAIN PHASE 1 & 2
• Each Vessel has Weapon.Point & Shell.Point respectivly ( Offensive & Retreat Mode ) , only one value is active/used during a battle, which depend on the current position of the Vessel !

Eg :A Vessel inOffensive mode attacks a Vessel in Retreat Mode !
Battle Calulation is applied between ( WeaponPoint of the attacked(offensive) & ShellPoint of the target(Retreat) )

• Tactic card are in two type,
  
• instant Effect : are sent to the juckZone after activating
• continuous effect : their effect are continuous while the card is activated !

inGUI :

• to activate a Tactic Card, just click it from your hand ! ( none of tactic card has a effect ) !
• to Deploye a Vessel Card, left Click the Card, then Click FleetFiledZone where you want to deploy it ! , if you want to cancel a deployement to choose an other one, right click annyWhere ! ( but before final deployment ) 
• A Vessel deployement is Manual , because the game allOw to Deploy a Vessel on an other Vessel , so nOw, it forms a fleet & ( Grouped Attack notion)  ( 3 max )
• A Fleet is a group of Vessel deployed one on the other, acting such a one card !,  the WeaponPoint or ShellPoint of the Fleet, is the sum of all its component !
• To change the position of a Fleet, jsut click on It in the FleetZone il M1 or M2 !
• To Move between GamePhases , click on the IconPhase to activate it !
• In BP -BattlePhase - , to déclare battle, you must have at least one Fleet & in Offensive Mode, in that case, left click your click and maitain your clicking, then release in the target ! so that was a battle déclaring ! ( there is nO big animation or sound, this is just testing ..... ) 

Check the LOGer in the middle of the Field, it indicates the information of the actual happening events ! ( in French    )

Add-Ons feature ! 
I'll introduce the Quantifiers of the game ! What each player dispose, and what player win in afterBattle !.
til nOw, there is Two types :

• RES : ( Ressource ) : this is the an mount of ressource, each player has the some quantity , and if one player reach a spécific sum, he wns, ( condition of wining or losing will be set after ) ( not avaliable in this version !)
• HONOR : ( Honor ) : these is an optional, it allows to activate some kind of card , ( each card has a cost for activation ) you can recycle it to increase your ressources
• After each battle, if a fleet is destroyed, a débris si formed  of metal & cristal in the zone where the battle happened ! , the amount depends on the destroyed fleet !

EnjOy, and thank you !

Explaining my problems , i have no experience for such a big game ! ( getting complicated each time i progress in  ) !
I'm using a GameManger! which include players & manage the whole game in a freeThread !
some times, sfml window does not get updated until the function is over !

I explain : may be you've noticed that the program takes a while to load ( to be launched) ! (just few second but, in fact: this is the first draw Code ( animated style ) !
[/list][/list][/list][/list]

Code: [Select]

firstDrwa()
{
     for ( int i = 0; i < 5; i++ )
     {DrawCard();
     sf::Sleep(x);}
    //each x.second, the player draw a card, until he draws 5 !then, the game continue ....
}
{In my program, i'm using two thread , ( the man thread, and the thread of the GameManager )
HowEver this code is in theThread( GameManger) , and the draws ( of sprites ) are in the main Thread :??: 
*Same Thing when j've tried to animate a drawAction ! from deck to Hand ! if the animation takes 3seconds !

Code: [Select]

1.When ready to draw !
2.the window freezes ( 3 sec )
3.then the card is directly in the hand !
There is no animation of the sprite ! ( the moving ) 
any suggestion !! ? !

thank you & have a nice day !
Dr.Crow !
