     A lot more progress has been made on the game today!

    First up is the creation of the auction house filtering system. Now players can filter the cards in the auction house by category or by era. I also added in the functionality for purchasing of cards. The money is removed from your balance, all information is shown about the card, fees are added onto the purchase cost, the cards are added to the queue of cards to be dealt, a max for auction house card purchases, and more. The system works beautifully! I even connected it to the notification system. Now it gives you a notification when you have purchased something.

    Second thing is the "completion" of the notification system. There are now visuals. The color indicator changes when a notification is either good or bad. The title/header also changes along with the message of the notification. Futhermore, the scrolling and closing systems have also been added to they system allowing for players to go through their notifications, close them, more them, or just keep going.

    I want to next work on a way to "Geo Tag" these notifications. Make it so that when a player double clicks on the pop-up, they are taken to it. Furthermore, I want to add a system for keeping track of how many notifications the player has. It will update your position in it, along with how many total ones there are. For example (7/15). This shows the notification your on (7), with the total amount of notifications (15). This would be a great quality-of-life feature. I also want it so that if you press next turn, all previous notifications are removed from the system, and the new ones appear.

    Thats all for now! More to be coming! Bye!!

    More progress has been made, and I feel like a million bucks because of this game.     1) Tech Tree Restructuring: I have switched my 1D list to a 2D list so that I can store all of the data about the branches and their different techs in each era. I have made it so that you can smart scroll through eras and through each tech category. Once researching the first tech, settlement, you can then get access to all other tech categories (Military, religious, education, industrial, etc), and each tech in that tree for each era. At the bottom, you can press a button to increase or decrease the era that you want to view. However, you can only increase up to a certain point, either the max of era 3 or the furthest era that branch goes to. This makes the tech tree feel a lot more advanced and less crowded.     2) Auction House: I have now got the viewing system working for all of the cards in the auction house, as well as the system to reassign who it is that is ...

      Today, I spent 10 hours working on the ability for a user to select a card, then a tile, the hit the card again in order to use it if it is tile specific. However, this idea sucks, and I don't like. Tomorrow I am going to go back and change the entire system. Instead you are going to drag the card to where you want it to go, then release it on the tile you want the effect to take place. This will then apply the effect to that tile. This way it is one click and not 3, and is also more interactive for the users. Furthermore, I wont have to convey to the user that certain cards are tile based, and some are not.     I also rewrote the terrain hex map generator script. I made the script completely modular, meaning that in the editor you can create an object to spawn on the terrain just by clicking a plus. You then plop in the model, the name, the description, the spawning frequencies, and the tiles that it can spawn on. Then for each tile that is generated it c...

      Hello, found out a solution to the problem that I was having yesterday. I have discovered the fabled perlin worms. We will use them by starting them off on high terrain values, and going to low terrain values changing every tile it touches into water tiles. This will create the effect of rivers.     Easy money!     Thats all for now, bye!
