Objectives

  • Navigate a growing collection of cards
  • Search for cards?
    • Can this be done via the/a search engine?
  • Organize/present cards by type or relevance for any article
  • Friendly, intuitive

Desirable

  • Low-maintenance - Doesn't require (much/any) article editing to maintain, as new cards are added
  • Low-overhead - Not intensive to compute
  • Low-footprint - Articles not filled with many card images


[edit]

Approaches

PV icon

Requires upgrade to 1.14 to work.

Can be used in many places to add a link to a card, however it's not necessarily intuitive that it's clickable. A user would have to hover over it to see that it's a clickable link.

In-table, such as the General Store, transformation, or List of concept art articles:

Picture # Picture type
1/139 PV icon.png Raisant

Inline, such as from species articles:

Feeding it a banana split PV icon.png changes its color to yellow.

Dynamic Page List (DPL)

Present a list in a collapsible table. There's some overhead to dynamically generate these lists, and it's not certain what, if any, impact there would be from popular articles. The advantage is that relevant cards, once categorized so DPL can look them up, can be shown at an article, so you could see (links to) all Kittyfloss cards at the Kittyfloss article, all trick stick cards at the trick stick article, all weather cards at the weather article, etc.

The example is a bit contrived, but shows that there could be lots of different relevant cards, making the list itself a bit unwieldy to "navigate."

By hand

Simplify, by excluding cards already shown at article. Hides image names, organizes cards by type.

Hover boxes could present details, such as PV card, availability level, cost, method to obtain, etc. This could keep PV images, Journal descriptions, and other-article details off an article itself, yet easily available without having to navigate elsewhere.

Chili
Chili-TroubleInParadise-PV.jpg
Chilies share their color with fire engines. The engine is famous for stopping fires, while the chili will start one in the mouth of anything that is brave or foolish enough to eat it.

Availability

  • Buy a chili, General Store at level 11, 500 cc.
  • Plant a chili seed, General Store at level 11, 22 cc.
  • Hire Bart to tinker a Jeli.

Uses

...

  • Weather cards
  • Cutscene cards
    • Mate cutscene cards
    • Appear cutscene cards
