A new automation has entered the arena: Shift Objects This automation moves objects along a path of ordered holders, or around a circle. playingcards.io/docs/shift-objects-…

Further, clicking widgets in Edit Mode no longer brings them to the front/back. When a widget is selected the Stacking Order button can change the order. As always, let us know what you think!

In order to make this update possible, we've had to change the font used for in-game text. We've done our best to get the font change as close as possible but because individual letters are different sizes, some text may be shifted. Happy new year everyone!

playingcardsio.bsky.social @playingcardsio.bsky.social · 22/08/2024
These changes bring us one step closer to customizable colors and styling. As always, let us know what you think!

Try this on for size - Edit Mode looks a little different, widgets now appear as they do during the game, no more blue marker whiteboard. - Widgets can now be resized directly. - Automation Buttons can be resized 🙌 - Compact width/height inputs and added X/Y location editing.

This allows editing multiple objects at once and viewing them as you make changes, which will be important in an upcoming update that adds control over the look and feel of objects. Please let us know what you think as we'll be making some adjustments.

Editor? I hardly know her! You may notice the editor looks a little different. We've moved most edit popups into a unified sidebar (landscape screens) or bottom bar (portrait screens).

You spin me right round! You can now rotate who gets dealt the first card by setting the "Starting Holder Offset" on the Move Objects Automation. (video) We've also added a Rotate Objects automation, which includes an option to "Randomize" the rotation.

Happy new year everyone! We have a few updates to announce: Enlarged cards/pieces can now rotate with rotated cards in-game. Tweaked the timing of when the enlarged popup appears/disappears. New Players & Sharing popup - this doesn't do much right now but we'll be adding to it.
000
playingcardsio.bsky.social @playingcardsio.bsky.social · 30/08/2023
We've just released a small update with a couple improvements to the 'Move Objects' Automation: - On holders with a 'Spread' layout including the hand, cards can now be moved to a new group at the start or end - Rotation can now be rotated one "notch" clockwise/counterclockwise
000
playingcardsio.bsky.social @playingcardsio.bsky.social · 24/08/2023
Also in this update, cards that are "spread" out in the hand/holders have improved. Players can now place cards between groups or create a new group at the beginning.
000
playingcardsio.bsky.social @playingcardsio.bsky.social · 24/08/2023
- Order of cards in the popup can be set to: Sorted, Randomized, or Unchanged - Cards can be shown face-down, for picking unknown cards. Use face-down cards+Unchanged sorting to have players guess based on card order - A limit can be added, of how many cards the player can select

We've just released an update with some fancy new dice! A D4, D8, D10, D10 (percent), D12, and of course the D20. Available now in an Edit Mode near you.

playingcardsio.bsky.social @playingcardsio.bsky.social · 07/07/2023
The Dice update is live! - Dice can be placed into holders & hands - Dice can be moved/recalled with Automations - "Move Cards & Pieces" is now "Move Objects" - You can prevent players from rolling dice by tapping them, only rolls via Automation. Great for games like Liar's Dice

Improvements to card deck CSV import/export! - CSVs can now have an item-count column, with the number of cards to add - CSV import no longer resets the whole deck, great for making tweaks on the fly, item-key column is used for 'sameness' - These columns are added on CSV export

playingcardsio.bsky.social @playingcardsio.bsky.social · 14/01/2022
We've just added double-sided pieces! When editing a pieces collection, in the Template tab you'll now see the Face/Back dropdown with a checkbox to enable double-sided. Also, cards can now be single-sided if you choose.

Sure about that? - Automation Buttons can now show a confirmation popup, so you can stop "accidentally" resetting the game when dealt a bad hand Josh... - We also added game previews on your account page for easier organization: playingcards.io/account

Pokemon Go is all the rage now, but it certainly isn't the first gaming fad to take over Washington. In the 1920s DC couldn't get enough of Mah Jongg.

Heads up! We've changed the look of the popup you see when joining a game. Also, we've added a new holder layout: "Freeform". This layout doesn't move cards/pieces placed in a holder, so you can arrange cards how you want and still use Automation Buttons to clear the area.
