Topic: Defect in Stack Inspector
Replies: 10
Views: 10387

I just wanted to chime in here on the idea of a "hidden stack inspector". In my playtests we sometimes have a game action where multiple players must select a random item from their personal supply (select their stack, open the inspector, shuffle and draw one off the top). As currently imp...

Typically, I'd expect drop shadows to cover most contrast issues. Is it non-trivial to change the graphics to fix the contrast issue directly? Add borders to the counters or change the color of the terrain, perhaps? I suppose if you are working with official art you don't want to alter it. I'd be in...

FWIW, I would not be opposed to the first patch being something really simple, like just fixing the spacebar crash...kind of a dry run. I know how one week turns into two and then Christmas rolls around and before you know it you've got a new job, a family and grandkids that want to play ball in the...

A workaround I have in mind for the time being would be a "pass the control baton" system where only one person has control of the view at a time, and he passes that control to the next player in turn when his turn is up. It de facto allows observer players, as they'd simply be connected ...

How to get Windows to recognize .ztb as a compressed file?

One minor annoyance with gamebox creation is needing to constantly change the extension from .ztb to .zip and back as you test changes. Is there a way to get Windows to recognize .ztb files as compressed archives so I can just drag and drop files onto the .ztb? I am using Windows 7 and couldn't find...

Continued development on ZunTzu is great news. I use ZunTzu for rapid prototyping and playtesting. I am currently working on a 10 player card game with simultaneous turns. Here's my input... My wishlist: 1) Allow players to independently [zoom], [pan] and [view board]. This is the most frequent issu...

Bug: Rapidly hitting spacebar results in crash (with repro)

dulcaoin, here is a repro of the spacebar crash you asked about. Repro: 1) Open a gamebox, I used Poker (v2). 2) Move cursor onto a stack of cards so that it flashes (the blue backed cards in Poker, for example). 3) Rapidly press Spacebar to move cards into your hand. Speed matters, too slow and it ...

Old topic, but for me, CardFacesOnFrontBackOnOtherSide was necessary so I could use a separate image file for my card backs (rather than including it on the same sheet that contains the face art). I had made a sheet of cards that called a separate file for the back art like this: <counter-sheet name...

Here is what the colors look like: http://s9.postimg.org/ald4qbvsv/All24_Player_Colors.png http://postimg.org/image/euhushz23/ -A lot of the colors end up looking the same to the naked eye because the RGB values aren't appreciably different. Kind of a bummer. I ended up making an alphabet terrain sh...

Downloadable Install File?

Is it possible to download a file to install ZunTzu from, rather than requiring IE and the ClickOnce link? I recently started using ZunTzu to help me playtest a game I am working on, and while this is a great piece of software, I am a bit worried about the possibility of this site being abandoned an...
