Lucas ✦<p>Here are two very early <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/WIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WIP</span></a> screenshots of the new card game I am building on Saturdays. It's an iPhone version of a card game we used to play a lot during summer in public swimming pools when I was a child in Germany. We called it Supertrumpf, in English it's called Top Trumps.</p><p>The game mechanics of my version are pretty much done and working. Well enough to already lose some rounds against my partner, at least.</p><p>I used Apple's awesome Multipeer Connectivity framework to automatically connect players locally without requiring an internet connection. The only way to play this with your friends is to be in the same room.</p><p>For testing, I created a mode where you can play against up to 3 computer players. They are named after my cats. I'll probably leave this game mode in the final version because they play better than I expected, and it's a good way to learn how to play the game.</p><p>If you enjoyed Top Trumps as a kid or want to play around with my version of it, shoot me a DM. :)</p><p><a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gamedev</span></a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/cardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cardgames</span></a></p>
