<h3>A Cards Against Humanity clone.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This webapp is still in development. There will be bugs, but hopefully they won't affect gameplay
|
|
very much. To assist with development, <strong>all traffic on this server <em>may</em> be
|
|
logged.</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The name you enter and your computer's IP address will <strong>always</strong> be logged when you
|
|
load the game client. Chat and gameplay may also be logged.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Recent Changes:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>7 April 2014:<ul>
|
|
<li>Exploits avoiding the maximum limits for game options have been fixed. No more games with
|
|
9001 blank white cards.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>23 February 2014:<ul>
|
|
<li>Some minor bugfixes, including one which should prevent the entire server from dying if a
|
|
single background task gets stuck.</li>
|
|
<li>Some minor performance improvements.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://houseofcardsagainsthumanity.com/">House of Cards Against Humanity</a> is now
|
|
available.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>26 January 2014:<ul>
|
|
<li>Several bugs have been fixed:<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Games should no longer reset when an idle player is kicked.</strong></li>
|
|
<li>The judge should no longer have to re-judge when a player leaves during judging.</li>
|
|
<li>The playing field should no longer visibly blank out when a player joins or leaves.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>The game host has a "stop game" button. If this is abused, it may be changed to only work
|
|
in the first few rounds of a game.</li>
|
|
<li>You can filter which games to display based on what card sets they are using. Under the
|
|
Game List Filters tab, you can assign each card set to one of three statuses: Banned, Neutral,
|
|
and Required. If a game uses <strong>any</strong> of your banned sets, it will not be shown. If
|
|
a game does not use <strong>all</strong> of your required sets, it also will not be shown.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>22 December 2013:<ul>
|
|
<li>What I have received so far of the Holiday Bullshit has been added. I will continue to add
|
|
cards to this as I receive them.</li>
|
|
<li>Several custom card sets have been added.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>No further custom card sets will be accepted.</strong> Minor updates to existing
|
|
ones may still be submitted, but I do not guarantee I will get to it in a timely manner. It is
|
|
taking too much of my time to administer the custom cards sets; I'd rather focus the time on
|
|
implementing a way for players to manage card sets in the game by themselves.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed a memory leak introduced in the last update that causes the server to massively slow
|
|
down after a few days of running.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>1 December 2013 Mega-Update:<ul>
|
|
<li>There are a <strong>lot</strong> of new things this time around. You can view the
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/ajanata/PretendYoureXyzzy/commits/master">GitHub commit history</a>
|
|
for full details, but here's a summary:<ul>
|
|
<li>Spectator mode. The host can pick how many spectators the shall allow. Spectators do not
|
|
participate in the game at all, even as Card Czar.</li>
|
|
<li>Fill-in-the-blank White Cards. The host can pick how many of these to shuffle into the
|
|
deck, and when they are played, you are prompted for the text to put on the card.</li>
|
|
<li>/me chat command for emotes.</li>
|
|
<li>Option to disable bouncy cards. We've all had a problem selecting the last card on the
|
|
line; well now, you can uncheck a box up at the top right and they'll stop bouncing around.</li>
|
|
<li>/sync chat command to re-sync the current game state without reloading the page. It should
|
|
be harder to de-sync the client now, as well.</li>
|
|
<li>Users are removed from the server if they have not done anything for an hour.</li>
|
|
<li>Several more bug fixes and back-end improvements.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>The Fourth Expansion is up.</li>
|
|
<li>As you have probably noticed in getting here, there is now a meta-lobby which allows you to
|
|
choose between multiple servers. They should be identical other than the people playing on them:
|
|
they are backed by the same card database.</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>5 September 2013:<ul>
|
|
<li tabindex="0">The Box Expansion and PAX Prime 2013 cards have been added. <strong>If you have
|
|
any spares of these card numbers and are willing to part with them, it would be awesome if you'd
|
|
<a href="mailto:ajanata@socialgamer.net?subject=13PAX+cards">email me</a> and send them to me,
|
|
as I was unable to acquire them at PAX:</strong> 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li><a href="changelog.html">Older entries.</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Known issues:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Do not open the game more than once in the same browser.</strong> Neither instance
|
|
will receive all data from the server, and you will not be able to play. I have an idea on how to
|
|
fix this, but I haven't had time to do so.</li>
|
|
<li>This game was extensively tested in <a href="http://google.com/chrome">Google Chrome</a>.
|
|
It should work in all recent versions of major browsers, but it may not look 100% as intended. If
|
|
you find a major issue, please
|
|
<a href="mailto:ajanata@socialgamer.net?subject=PYX%20bug">email me</a> with a screenshot and the
|
|
name and version of the browser you are using, and I'll try to fix it.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>You may not always see your card in the top area after you play it, but it has been played.
|
|
Also, sometimes the card will display in the top area but be small. I have no idea why either of
|
|
these happen.</li>
|
|
<li>If you refresh in the game, an error will pop up in the log briefly before the refresh
|
|
happens. It is safe to ignore.</li>
|
|
<li>You may see an error after joining a game. As the error message states, this is safe to
|
|
ignore. I will figure out a way to make this not show up.</li>
|
|
<li>Interface elements may not be perfectly sized and positioned immediately after loading the
|
|
page if your window is sufficiently small. Resize the window to fix.</li>
|
|
<li>A player joining the game in progress may have a slightly incorrect representation of the
|
|
game state until the next round begins.</li>
|
|
<li>Reloading the page when the winning card is displayed does not display the winning card
|
|
again.</li>
|
|
<li>Played cards seem to blank when someone joins or leaves. You may have to refresh the page
|
|
to see the cards again if you're the Card Czar.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Current limitations:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Support for Black Cards with "pick" and/or "draw" annotations is rudimentary. When you play
|
|
your cards, it does not group them until the judging starts. Also, when other players play cards,
|
|
you do not see any progress from them until they have played all 2 or 3 cards, and it only shows
|
|
a single face-down card for them. I will try to make this look nicer, but it works.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Also, you cannot un-do your first (or second) card: Once it's played, it's played.</li>
|
|
<li>While judging, only one card will be highlighted. It does not matter which card in a group
|
|
you click, the game will figure it out.</li>
|
|
<li>I know that when you have a lot of players, especially with Pick 2 or Pick 3, it gets very
|
|
hard to read, and cards overlap (and underlap) your hard, and are hard to click sometimes.
|
|
I'll work on this soon. You can resize the window to try to help if you're having problems
|
|
for now.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>You can't bet Awesome Points to play another card, and I am unsure if I will add this.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Future enhancements:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>There may be an option to display who played every card.</li>
|
|
<li>A registration system and long-term statistics tracking may be added at some point.</li>
|
|
<li>Support for custom Black and White cards will also likely be added, with a game host option to
|
|
use them or just the stock cards.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the game seems to be in a weird state, refresh the page and it should take you back to where
|
|
you were. It would be helpful to take a screenshot and
|
|
<a href="mailto:ajanata@socialgamer.net?subject=PYX%20bug">email it to me</a> along with a general
|
|
description of the problem and the time that it happened (include a time zone please!).
