OK. so here is a new feature request that would help with a bunch of the stuff
I would like to do, and I sure it could help others too...
Imagine you have 4 different decks (ABCD) that each have 10 items in them and
the board has 40 spots marked, 10 of each ABCD. At the start of each game you
are to randomly place the 10 items from deck A onto the 10 spots marked A,
and so on for each of the other 3 decks (BCD).
This can be tedious, especially if it is more decks, and or more starting
spots.
SO....
I would like to request a new action available on decks that would allow you
to replace all pieces on the board that match a given expression with items
from the deck.
So, i could have my board with 10 copies of a placehold piece for the starting
spots for A. The piece would have a graphic of the letter A and more
importantly a trait named something like startingspot = A. Then my A deck
could have the new feature (replace from deck) with a matching setting
startingspot = A and a label of Place A Starting Spots
Then at the start of the game, i could right click on the A deck, choose Place
A Starting Spots, and it would replace all pieces that match the expression
startingspot = A with the top item from the deck (which should be set to
always shuffle, to ensure randomness)
I could set up the same for each of my other decks and then have a random
board set up nice and quickly.
