This is a a rough idea of what I’m doing. I put off animating the card elements because it was messing everything up before. As you can see now, the card changes, everything is fine. It’s a little laggy cause remote to the DB, but the game is lightning fast on my test server. Really happy with it.
The wild card is being animated with the animation. I use the a standard flip, then once it finishes it plays. I would like to have animations for the cards based on the ranking.
