Rework of word tiles

[Eggslaws]

So, we turn the cards to mark the words and we either flip the cards upside down/to it's back to mark out some word tiles.

Some of the card decks have an opaque background with a standard image. Proposal is to:

1. Either change the cards to a transparent background (trust me, human minds can read the inverted words very easily)
   OR
2. The back of the card has the word but in a more marked down state (like a word on a red background or word on a greyscaled background). I know Platy made a deck, but the back of the card wasn't distinctive enough.

If someone has the text file and can share it with me, I'm quite happy to see if I can spawn a deck with the above suggestions.

OR ALTERNATIVELY

Instead of rotating the cards to select a word, is it possible to change the state of the word tile by clicking on it? That way, we can change the background to something like
State 1 - Normal
State 2 - Green (to highlight the words we are going to pick next)
State 3 - Red (to highlight the words not part of our clue)

I'm not sure how easy/difficult is to implement the second suggestion but I believe that needs some work on Unity.

I'm not really looking to fool around with card states, as that introduces more lag. Every time the state of an object changes, there's a really irritating loading period in which is loads the new textures. Combined with people who would just troll and click on all of the cards, this wouldn't make for a good playing experience.

I was, however thinking about maybe instead of a grayscaled background, the back of the card is completely black and has what looks like an "engraving" of the word on the back. It's subtle, but enough to be able to still see the word. Do you think that might work?

[Eggslaws]

Sensible. But don't think Haniis deck maker can do it, we probably need something more robust in that case.

[Ryan6578]

I thought it was able to. You can edit designs on the fly.

Hanii's deck creator now has this functionality included in it. I will be updating all decks shortly to have a ubiquitous format - normal card on the front and blacked-out on the back side.

Link for the updated Hanii's deck creator will be posted as soon as it's available.
