Lis of Hardcoded card ?

[whismer]

I try to find why Kami of the Crescent Moon was nont included in Shadowmoor (same effect that Howling Mine) and when I try to check the code of Howling mine, I didn't find any auto line.

Is Howling Mine harcoded? and what's the card that are hardcoded?

Is Howling Mine harcoded? and what's the card that are hardcoded?

Whis

Kami of the Crescent Moon is in Saviors of Kamigawa, and it is already in Wagic.

[whismer]

My bad for the wrong set!!


but this make Howling Mine codable?

[wololo]

It's already in the game, so yes. If you want another card that does exactly the same thing, use the "alias" keyword

[whismer]

I know that Howling Mine is in the game but sometime you said that Hardcoded card take a lot of memory/space and if Kami is softcodable maybe we can remove Howling Mine from the Hardcoded list and put another one?

Whismer

[wololo]

you said that Hardcoded card take a lot of memory/space

I don't remember saying that.
Hardocded cards are a pain because the AI doesn't know how to use them and they take lots of code (not memory) which increases the maintenance cost of the project.
Howling Mine cannot be softcoded because it has a special feature: Its ability doesn't work if the card is tapped

Also, removing one hardcoded card does not mean we add a new one instead, on the contrary, the ultimate goal is to have no hardcoded card at all. That would remove something like 2000 lines of code which would be awesome.

[whismer]

I'm not an expert in the correct term but I will go to sleep "moins niaiseux"

Thx Wololo always interesting to learn something

Havent really looked into the coding much but about howling mine.

What about something like @tapped.idle or @tapped.disable then just let it @auto.untap (or can't use spells or abilities, you gotta have a command for that i assume) on upkeep?
I could be wrong ofcource but that seems like it would do the trick if someone tapped it wont work on his/her upkeep but will start working as soon as your at your untap phase.

But like i sayed i could be way off
