Performing Actions Flow

[Zomis]

This is how I imagine performing actions should work, from a user point of view:

Let's say that you have the following actions available: (just as an example, some of these actions does not exist yet but may be added at any time in the future, whenever the server feels like it)

• Play Card A in hand
• Play Card B in hand
• Attack with Card C on battlefield
• Scrap Card C on battlefield
• Activate Hero Power: Deal 1 damage to any target
• End Turn

Card A and B in hand should be highlighted somehow so that it is clear that they can be played, or they can have a button next to them that says "Play"

Card C should be highlighted so that it is clear that it can attack (or have a button next to it that says "Attack")
Card C should also have a button "Scrap"

Two buttons for the Player-related actions: "Activate Hero Power", "End Turn".

Actions without targets

• If you press "End Turn", the turn ends directly. No need for any confirmation.
• If you play Card A or B, it gets played directly, no confirmation.
• If you click the button for scrapping Card C, it gets scrapped directly, no confirmation.

Basically:

• All actions that does not have targets should be performed directly when their corresponding button is clicked

Actions with targets

• If you choose to Attack with Card C on battlefield, or activate the Hero Power, you will request the target ids from the server. The available targets should be highlighted (a bunch of cards and players).
• There should be a "Cancel" button available that cancels the action, as if you never clicked the action in the first place
• If the action only needs exactly one target, click the target and you will perform the action.

Actions with more than one target, or up to one target (i.e. 0 or 1 targets)

When you click the button for performing an action, and the action does not require exactly one target:

• toggle the targets that you want (click once to select, click again to unselect)
• Selected targets should be highlighted
• When you are happy with your selection, you click an "OK" button (or some button that has that effect)

Some actions with targets, such as Mulligan, should not require a target. (which makes the targetRequired boolean slightly confusing, sorry for that). I mean... it should be possible to target 0 cards.

The AvailableTargetsMessage for the Mulligan action is:

AvailableTargetsMessage [entity=115, action=Mulligan, min=0, max=2147483647, targets=[151, 156, 161, 163, 169]]

Notice the min=0, that means that it is okay to target 0 cards.
