I'm surprised this bug took 8 hours to find considering the strength of the card

Thanks for the update!

Love the app by the way, it's clean and all the features make playing dominion better

Thanks a lot for the kind words. It's little tokens of appreciation like yours that make working on the mod be unusually rewarding.

Seems like a good approach to clearly arrange large hands but could you order them by category, and then by alphabet? What's the threshold number for handsize for this arrangement?

[assemble_me]

Very creative solution. Is there a threshold of different cards or do you always display hand cards that way? (oh this was asked above as well^^)

I'm astonished by how much you're able to fix the awful design of this app ex post facto.  Real respect for this.  As well as internet respect.

Yes, he has 500+ respect just in this thread.

You're the hero Dominion Online needs. This is so much better than Making Fun's half-assed solution to the problem. Thanks so much for making this game fun!

Why are only crads in hand on the right side alternating on top? Was it a proof of principle for design aspects and good looking? I am more in favour of the alternating thing.

The card counter for urchin und scrying pool is hardly visible. So, stacked cards should always be on top or you should center the red bobble marker.

[Cave-o-sapien]

Bravo! It really makes it obvious that the only reason the cards are arranged in a "fan" in the app is to mimic how one would hold the physical cards. It's certainly not the most efficient way to display the critical information.

Functional UI >>> Skeuomorphic UI

(someone said we should use that word more)

Wow banker bot is getting good at this game! It looks like he has piled the masterpieces. What a pro move!

Gotta dodge that single Young Witch from the Black Market deck.

The card layout here is stacked up left to right, then top to bottom, and the effect you see is a result of that.

To change it to what you are describing the cards would need stacked up from the center out and then top to bottom

To reassure those who may be tormented by the fear that MMF's sheer existence would somehow hamper the development of MF's pure, unadulterated client: these bug fixes have been shared with Jeff in advance of this release, and some of them were promptly put into their code. Making fun together makes more fun for all.

I assume you've shared this image with them as well? If not, someone should start a thread in the MF forums requesting that big hands look like this instead of the fanned out cards.

That's probably a good idea, but at the same time it feels pretty awful that we have to tell Making Fun that being able to see what cards we have is an important feature.

My concern with the layout above is that you can't see what the cards do.

That's certainly a distinct disadvantage over the default layout, where with 35 uniques in hand you can see what each card does just fine.

And for the people wondering: I currently have it set to switch to the new system once you have 10 or more uniques in hand and to switch back once you have 6 or less (to prevent endlessly flipping back-and-forth around the threshold).

That's probably a good idea, but at the same time it feels pretty awful that we have to tell Making Fun that being able to see what cards we have is an important feature.

Or that it would be a good idea to check the Dominion Online part of this forum from time to time.

[Witherweaver]

I still like the idea of just making your mouseover card magnified.  Is this what the old UI did?

That would be a good feature, but I don't recall any Dominion UI that ever did that.

[Witherweaver]

Why didn't this problem come up with Goko?

[Deadlock39]

I'm pretty sure it did.  The UI has not changed from there.


You can drag cards out of your hand to see what they are, so it isn't 100% unplayable, but you have to be careful when putting one back in or you might accidentally play it.

You can also try to recognize the tiny sliver of the left edge of the art, but it gets harder and harder as your hand grows.

[Witherweaver]

Hm.. I don't remember having this trouble with Goko.  I thought it did a mouseover or something.
