How to use card prerequisites?

[outfrost]

To use card prerequisites, you would populate the prerequisites list in a Card instance. Each entry is an ICardPrerequisite, and has a Status property, which describes, as a bit field, what has to have happened to some other card, in order for the card holding the prerequisite to be shown.

In your example case:

Suppose we have some Card a whose id in storage is 6, and some Card b whose id is 9. We only want a to be shown to the player if the player has swiped b to the left before.

a.prerequisites will therefore contain at least one item, perhaps constructed like so:

	CardPrerequisite p = new CardPrerequisite();
	p.id = 9;
	p.status = CardStatus.LeftActionTaken;

(I didn't create a special constructor for CardPrerequisite and SpecialCardPrerequisite because they were usually imported from Google Sheets)

Prerequisites are checked during loading of player's progress. Then, whenever a card is shown or swiped, each of its dependent cards is checked, and added to the pool of drawable cards if its prerequisites are now satisfied.

Thank you again, your answer is exactly what i was trying to understand...
Also is there a way to show a card only once?

No, there isn't. Once a card is added to drawable ones, it's never removed. That is something you would have to implement yourself.

If you do, and would like to have it integrated here, I am accepting PRs :)
