Playtest Simulator

[ivantyr]

In case this might be of use
a popular japanese website seems to have a simulator like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NmGGibhvWI
it grabs the decks using the IDs of the decks people save on that site

This isn't multiplayer but it can give you a good idea on how well a deck setups itself and whatnot

Due to my error of how I architected this application to store the entire card data in decks in Firestore, I was unable at the time to store Attacks data on cards. So all the user's decks are composed of unoptimized card data that is also an incomplete form which would require me to refresh their data from the API.

So there needs to be an upgrade mechanism that converts these deck objects to use an array of the card's Id instead of the whole object and have the application load the cards from the API and cache them.

This problem will be a necessity to complete the simulator

Edit:
I suppose this issue could be mitigated by also having a sort of 'loading' screen when starting play test simulations that loads/reloads all the card data from disk cache or the API This would probably be the path of least resistance

This is now resolved as of 4466f21
