I’m hoping this will drastically reduce the amount of scrolling you have to do during the draft. An issue with the last version of Draftsim is that you would have to constantly scroll up and down to see your picks/deck.
The SidebarĪs I mentioned before, the most dramatic change to the whole interface is the introduction of the sidebar. I’m definitely open to feedback on this feature, because I want to make sure the mobile experience for the new site is a lot better than the old one. You can use the big mode if you need to read the cards, and the small mode if you want to draft quickly and can recognize the cards by their art. This gives you a “big mode” and a “small mode” depending on your familiarity with the set. On mobile, there isn’t a slider, but there is a view toggle. Pick the one that’s most comfortable for your screen size, and the site will remember your choice the next time you draft. In the desktop version, there is a slider on the bottom that lets you choose six different sizes for the cards. Now we have a way to do this on the site directly! I don’t know about you, but in the old version I was always using ctrl + mouse wheel to resize the packs to be the right size. You’ll also notice that when you hover over one of the cards in the sidebar, you see a tooltip/hover effect that shows you an enlarged version of the card so you can remind yourself what it does. By clicking on the “picked cards” tab of the sidebar, you can also hide it (or show it again) to change the amount of real estate you have available on the screen. All the cards that you draft will go here. One of the main components of the new design is the sidebar. Ok, so let’s choose our favorite set on the homepage and start drafting! What to look at first? More slick effects If you’re looking for it, just click on the stacked lines in the upper left: Draft Interface The menu has moved too, to a hamburger menu. No worries, there’s still an All Sets page.
#MAKING THE CARDS BIGGER IN POKERTH FULL#
If you want a full list of sets where you don’t have to scroll through the carousel, there’s a link below the images that you can click on, just like before. I imagine this is probably the first thing you noticed about the new design too.Īwww yeahhh look at that carousel with its hover effects… Everything fades in nicely and feels really juicy. This is where the sexy starts, I really love the effects that Edgar added. So no AI updates, this is just a complete reworking of the front end. Yes, the minimalism of the previous site was appealing in its own way, but the main thing I wanted to do here was make the site and its functionality better, regardless of aesthetics.įor now, the drafting engine underneath is still the same one from the previous version of the website. Heck, I’ll admit it - I used to use Magic Online to build my pools from Draftsim. We really tried to improve the drafting experience (I can’t wait to tell you about a couple fun new features we added) and to make deckbuilding way better.
I wanted it to be equally as functional and snappy, but also easier to use and more aesthetically pleasing. The old interface was functional and simple, but hopefully this new one is a vast improvement. Switch between “pool mode” and “deck mode” - and sort like a boss.Moving cards to your sideboard while drafting.Without further ado, let me walk you through all the changes… I ended up making several changes and even rewriting a bunch of the functionality based on the suggestions you made. His vision was incredible and this whole project wouldn’t have been possible at all without him.Īnd also thank you to the hundreds of you who helped test out the beta version and gave feedback while it was under development – I love you guys and your help was absolutely essential. But I think the end result is a lot sexier, more fun, and more usable than before, so I really hope you enjoy it.įirst of all, thank you so much to developer extraordinaire and volunteer Edgar Kisman for spending several nights and weekends working on this project. This is the result of a lot of hard work over the past few months. The user interface has been completely redesigned with a brand new feel for both draft and sealed. I’m so excited to share all the changes to Draftsim with you. You may have noticed things look different around here.
