Simple Cards

I am working on my own card game and i did not see any addon that does what I wanted so I made my own.

Main Features

Cards with clean amimations using shaders or tweens.

Modularity by using reusable resources.

How it works

!Don't forget to enable the plugin!

Use the example scene to get an idea of how it works.

Cards

Create a new card using the 'create new node screen'. In the inspector add or create a card resource. Adjust the other parameters to you liking.

Functionality

Left click to drag and drop the card Right Click the card to flip it to the front face; if its alread on the front face, right click will play the effects instead. play_key (Default: "ui_accept") can be also used to play the card (must be on front face).

use play_card() function to trigger the activation of the card if needed in other places.

Card Resources

They hold the information of the card. Every card node needs a resource to function properly. To set up a resource you'lln need: Card Face - the texture of the front/face of the card Card Back - the texture of the bakc of the card Card Descrption - (optional) a descrpition of what the card does Effects - an array of effect resources

Effect Resources

Effects are responsible for the interation betweeen cards and the rest of the scene. In a resoruces will be triggered top to bottom (0 -> 99) and they can be as simple or complex you want

To create a new effect, create a new script that extends EffectResource, give it a class name and create the use function.

"func use(card)" is the triggered function when the card is played; this is where the main logic should be. You can also add exported varialbels or anything that helps :)

Card Global

This is a global script that manages some settings or special functions: use_shadows - if true will generate a shadown texture node on the cards. added for performance/quality settings use_tooltips - will use the godot default tooltip for showing descriptions on hovering the cards play_key - used to play the card, default is "ui_accept" change it for you needs leave it empty if not used.

Card Texture

Extends TextureRect and its used for handling the shader and the flip animation

To Do

Im still preaty new to this so its not perfect, but im quite happy with how it is right now. There are still a few things i want to get done in the future:

• Proper documentation
• Hand/Field/Slot System
• More customization
