SuperJoe, as for more info about what I do or a typical day, I try to get in around 9am or a little after and prepare for any meetings. For Example, on Monday morinings at 10am I meet with Blargers, Relik, Equinox, and an Artist to talk about Client issues such as any customer service issues from the previous weekend, any releases we might have for the current week, any dependencies, and an update on client development. On Mondays at 11:00am I have weekly meeting then with my manager, Xixax, and 2 other department leads were we talk about what each of our departments are working on and any dependencies. I then get to work on whatever project I'm working on. Today for example, I worked on a Set 3 card "Storm Tunnel:Lingering monsoon" that fixes a mechanic where the client must choose a randomly selected Attack Card. In this case, I am darkening 2 of the 3 cards and not allowing them to be selected. So, you will have a choice of 1 card. This will fix other cards like Carnival of Confusion as well. After I make the fix, I submit a QA (Quality Assurance) request to Relik who will play the cards and make sure they work. Once it works and works with all of the previous changes to Set 3, then it will be ready for tomorrows release. Below is the code that greys out the attack card:

public void GreyOut(bool value)
{
     greyedOut = value;

     if (value)
     {
          myGuiTexture.color = new Color(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f);
     }
     else
     {
          myGuiTexture.color = new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
     }
}

I hope that satisfies your need for more information about what I'm up to. Please feel free to ask more....

-Remy

hey remy, i like the name "Ender", it sounds dark and distructive...MWAHAHAHA

and i think i actually get the script, caus ive been studying java

public void GreyOut(bool value) //(calls the class GreyOut) and sets a Boolean value
{
greyedOut = value; //here u have the biggening were u set the value

if (value) //classic if statement so its not always on, and the value will be the card usually
{
myGuiTexture.color = new Color(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f);
}
else
{
myGuiTexture.color = new Color(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f);
} //gives it the option of differentiating the 2 cards, by starting with the smaller then bigger value
}

was i sort of right? and i did end of line comments out of habbit

Yes, You're right on!! Yeah, Java is very similar to C#. This piece of code belongs to each card. So, if I know an attack card needs to be grayed out, I just call this method on the card and it will darken the card. It's actually setting the texture color of the card to a darker color. The numbers in Color are for red, green, and blue. A setting of .5 is gray while 0.0 would be all white and 1.0 would be black.

Good Job! If you keep studying Java maybe we can get you a job here
