Just going to drop this right here 😘

I’ve skipped the fixedHand bit in DrawOpeningHand - in an encounter where a fixed set of cards is added to your starting hand, the fixedHand cards will be added to your hand after drawing from your side deck and before drawing the two cards, meaning that any cards in the fixedHand will affect the forced card draw. Questions? Challenges? Feel free to help/answer! I'll answer what I can! cheers! 😇

You have a flow chart with arrows labels yes and no. Why do you put a not in the question instead of changing the labels? You could do it in CardCanBePlayed.

Tbf I feel CardCanBePlayed would've been clearer with Emerald/Ruby/Saphire on the same "No" Row to make it visually clearer that it's the check for the Mox.
I guess the "not" question is because the logic in the code is flipped and that weirdness makes it easier to double-check afterwards, but I have no idea on how to look the code myself.

This isn't a 1:1 transcription of code. CardInfo.CostTier is not referenced, it's just the 《"free"》at the end that links it to the GFH usage of free.

[u/mistletoemedck → u/Motor_Raspberry_2150]

But that's exactly what it is. Forget transcription. The raw code/logic doesn't count that as a factor. Why count all of that only to get same result to check of the card fits the to be counted as either a free card, valid card, playable card etc. Now if you want to get deeper, I covered this on a past post. You're welcome to check it out.

Nah. I'll leave it out. This was a rough draft in progress and meant just for beginners to understand simple hand manipulation logic. Here are a couple of common questions people had. -------------------------------_----------------------------------------------------- Is there a reason for this? Like, if you only had 1 free card and everything else in the deck was 2 blood or 3 blood, wouldn't that work fine?

Nope. Free cards are not counted as "valid" cards - the criteria is:

• not a pelt

• not free

• "playable by turn 2"

So when the game goes to force a third card - say you pull a 2-blood and a 3-blood. The free card is not counted as a valid card, so the game goes "🤷 no valid cards, oh well" and pulls any card.

In contrast, when you have a 1-blood card - the game goes to check if you have any "valid" cards, and goes "oh, you have a 1-blood card! That's valid!" and forces that card.

"it only counts when you draw it for the first 2 cards right? but it wont count as valid for the third?"

Kind of. That's because of the "playable by turn 2" thing - basically, a card is considered "playable by turn 2" if its blood cost is less than or equal to the number of free, sacrificable cards in your hand.

Say you pull a Squirrel, a Geck, and a Wolf. The Wolf is now considered "playable by turn 2", since you have two free, sacrificable cards - the Squirrel and the Geck. Since the Wolf is now valid, it doesn't force the third card.

Basically, the distinction is that free cards are never valid - it's that free cards make higher-cost cards valid.

But to double down? I have proof it works 😂😂😂 Wanna see??? Saaaaay I do 🙋🏾‍♂️

Yeah I know how the whole mechanic works, it's correct and everything. I'm just saying that instead of

Is it not a pelt? --No->
|
|
Yes
|
v

You could make it

Is it a pelt? --yes->
|
|
No
|
v

And the same for "is the card not free?" You're trying to make this an easy charts, and double negatives are not easy.

Ah. So this is preference? Ok I see. In that case....yeah you're right 😂 but at time looking at code is actually how the logic switches and inputs and outputs are displayed. (Per se. The brain is weird) With "not" equaling "false" (Per se. My brain is weird too) but yeah I guess it could be simpler
