I’m not going to break this down by day, but basically I managed to get most of the game logic figured out - draw/play cards, attack/defend, tap cards, mana management, etc. Then I decided that I wasn’t satistifed with the UI because, well, it was kinda lame.

So tonight I decided that everything needs to be redone using HTML5/CSS/jQuery! And here’s what I’ve got so far:

A couple of cool features that dont immediately pop out:

• The HP bars auto-update and use jQuery animations to move between states (so it’s smooth).

• The four cards at the bottom (your hand) are overlaid until you mouseover, then they expand (CSS3 anim) and contract when your mouse leaves (also CSS3 anim).

So for the next day or two I’ll be hooking up the new UI. Then it will be time to make some cards!
