...
UI/UX
Game Zone Invite menu option is disabled if a sync server is not configured
Game Zone invitees who are not creators can still view the "award history" for a card
a user who is a "player" in the active Game Zone will have their name highlighted in the player list when in Players view, and can see other players listed but only view their own "awarded cards" (by clicking the ribbon icon next to their name)
Fixes & Bugs
creating a game zone invite caused create/edit player buttons to disappear
Version 0.9.0 (2024.10.21)
Features
"Card Decks" are here!
create card decks, adding as many cards as desired (likely based on a particular theme/category)
add specific cards, and/or populate a deck with a desired amount of random cards
selecting a card deck will filter the "main deck" so that only the cards in the selected card deck are shown
if the deck has an avatar, that will be displayed on the "top card" in place of the Game Cards app banner image
decks can be private (only accessible to the creator)
decks can be duplicated
a single card can be added to multiple decks
after selecting and displaying a card deck, creating a new card will automagically add it to the active deck
transfer a card from a joined Game Zone to a users Game Zone
allowing or preventing the ability to transfer a card can be set by the card creator when the card is first created, and at any point in the future
Note: the "award history" data, ie players that have been awarded the card, will NOT be transferred
