Playing Card

by Harrison Brock · in Torque Game Builder · 09/14/2006 (3:55 pm) · 5 replies

What would be the best way to make a playing card object? What this work:

%card =new t2dStaticSprite() {
imageMap = %CardimageMap;
Value = ""; // Card value
Suit = ""; Suit for Card.
};

Or would it be better to make a config datablock?

Perhaps... i've heard that even in the private forums there isn't much resources to help you create this type of game. oh well.

In Puzzle Poker I just created a sprite very similar to how you did above. I'd then set the type to indicate which card it was like this:

%card.type = %type;

I would change the image maps used by the cards on the fly. When first creating the image map would be set to the back of the card and then when flipping the card it would switch to whatever the type was. I had one datablock for each card type.
