The star win for Picture Poker have been added though with lots of bugs and issues, but I'll fix those in my own time instead of on stream.
No video/image as my mood is kinda sour.

I am preparing for stream for today.
Planning to continue coding the Picture Poker remake but also adding suggestions to stream as it's gonna be very bare bones visually to start with as I've got nothing setup.

Well nvm about the Tuesday plan as I was both procrastinating and thinking about how to actually prepare and plan stream stuff.
Welp. Might still tomorrow as I have way more free time.

I'm planning on streaming a few times this week as I have a few ideas I want to do, and also to setup stream to look nice.

Here's a semi-schedule as idk the exact times I'll be available or what I'll do.
Tues - Stream Art Creation
Wed - Viewer Picture Poker Coding
Thur - Side Order Viewer Challenge

Got streambot setup to be able to be read chat messages and have Godot read a txt file for them so I'll probably do a stream at some point to think of some ideas to add to it as I want to begin streaming again, even if it's just coding stuff (like the Picture Poker)

Got the basic win text working. I'll be doing more cleanup again to make data transfer between top and bottom screen better and to merge some code for less redundant lines.

Did the lowercase 'Draw'. I am not bothered to do the uppercase version for now so this will be good enough for now.

Spriter's Resource doesn't have a 'Draw' text sprite so I have to make it from scratch from the few appearances on the internet I could find of it , _ ,

Scott The Woz just released a classic box that I want so much but the shipping adds ~ยฃ80 to the cost because I live in the UK.
Cmon.

Good that I got the literal same hand to realise the errors of my ways.
I had been checking to see if the hands are the exact same to check for a draw without considering that the hand isn't ordered in code.
I'll just do it an alternative method.

Cleaned up the button being shmushed by just making it a seperate label instead of being the text in the button itself.

I will be using the sprites for the bigger text though (TOO BAD, YOU WIN, etc.) as those have a unique styling that can't be as easily replicated with a shader, also they break and add white with the current shader with bigger font sizes, which just looks ugly.

Decided to go with the shader as it will be good for any future modes that I add.
Also I really need to fix the draw button's text to not be as bad, so I'll probably apply a part of the gradient shader to make the black outline not as transparent.

Above: My gradient text shader Below: Original Luigi Casino Text (Sprite)

Made a shader to semi-accurately replicate the font gradients which turned out quite well, but I'm not sure if I should use it or not.
Opinions? (Not rhetorical I actually need to know)

Main Downside: Less accurate to original
Main Upside: Better customisation

I went back to playing ultimate after playing melee for a while (I'm beginning to collect Gamecube stuff) and when I first started using the triggers I was pressing so hard against them forgetting the Switch doesn't have massive springs. ._.

I believe you're referring to Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love, Rupeeland is the top-down rupee-management game.

Early progress today (It's ~7AM for me).
I've got the card sorting done and did a few tweaks to the card movement. I'm going to figure out how to add gradients to text so I can make the hand type text (else I'll just use sprites).

For example, here's the card flip animation code before and after clean-up.
It's still probably able to be optimised more, but it is way more readable than the previous code.

Some progress from yesterday that I didn't show.
I really need to clean-up the code as it's a complete mess and can definitely be optimised to be less bad.

I lied about getting the gameplay done before effects. I'll just make all the effects first then I'll get the gameplay done.
Got the hand-out effect done and the enemy hand flip done.
Plan to do the sending cards back soon.

Layout Recreation of Picture Poker from Super Mario 64 DS/New Super Mario Bros

The basic layout has been set (besides stars, I'll deal with those later (also coins will probably be reworked in some way)).
Time to start with the very basic gameplay then add the effects/movements.

Yeah, I can do that, I remember making a wanted remake (not that good) so this can add to that catalog.
Also hi, didn't expect to see you here!

Anyone have a quick idea for a small/short game?
I just need an idea as all the ones I keep coming up with are too big for what I'm looking for to refuel my motivation.

Just finished sorting out my room after ~10 hours (~16:00-2:30) with on and off breaks.
At least I won't have to think of throwing/sorting random stuff in my room for a long while.

It looks so bad but it worked ig.
