Victoria_La, Thanks for the hearts tutorial. It's been helpful. I think I have one final request that should help us all get to where we need to be. Can someone create a tutorial for card games. Not a specific card game, but a card type tutorial of standard things that occur in a game?
So the game would be 2-4 players (or something) and the game will have options to deal all cards, deal a certain number of cards or whatever. And then the game starts and it deals the cards. And then all the game does is allow you to play ANY card and click a button to draw a card or simply move to next player if the option for all cards to be dealt is chosen.
The reason I am asking for this is because I think the logic for a particular game's rules is getting in the way of learning the nuances of the actual BGA platform. I see too many of us come here and get so lost and drift off. I think something like that would be extremely useful and would allow someone to build that and then add the logic for almost any card game in later. We, as developers, understand logic. Even if we don't totally understand the language you have built the framework on or the libraries, most of us could go build these games in our language and DB of choice but we come here for the large following and the support of prebuilt game play libraries.
Can someone help all of us by providing tutorials on aspects of the BGA library? I think a basic elements of card games tutorial would be a great place to start. Another could be a basic dice rolling tutorial since their are libraries for those too.
I feel like BGA has like 5 active developers who have the time and experience in BGA coding to build these games and support them. I really want to spend time in this realm but I'm still struggling with the basics but I have no issue building games in JS, PHP, or other languages. I have built and deployed games on android and blackberries old playbook and for the web. For some reason I struggle to get anything going here. I'm not trying to complain so I apologize if it feels that way. I simply want this community to continue to grow so you guys make enough money to keep this site going and I love building code as a hobby. I'd love for it to be games on here.
Thanks!
Jason
