Data

No great progress today, but I did get a basic API working; sending card data to the client. Basic stuff, but necessary.
I’m not really sure what to do next. I think maybe I can start on the battle system. I’m kind of rehashing what I said last night. It’s been a long day…

For the battles, all the work will need to be done on the server to avoid cheating. It’ll probably flow something like this:

Player selects action
Server checks that the action is allowed
If so, action is applied
Result is returned to client

The other big thing I’m concerned about is the construction of the overworld, and movement around it, but I’ll try to nail the core mechanics first.

I’m tossing up whether or not to build a UI for creating cards, or to just do it directly in the DB. It’d be nice to have a UI, but I think it’d be a waste of time at the moment.

Progress! I decided to focus on getting the back end set up first, rather than focusing on the UI. Visuals always have a habit of eating up a lot of time if
