  Huh, so they fixed the emulator it seems. Good.

  As for the warnings, I had a bunch of them too but they didn´t pose a problem. Iirc some of them can be fixed automatically by xcode, just double-click/right-click them or something, I don´t quite remember. But as long as the project runs and builds there shouldn´t be any issues.

  They pretty much have to be done on physical devices. The iOS emulator is bugged and can´t be used for testing and for the Android one, I never got that to run either.

  You absolutely have to test a proper xcode build! In terms of mac I had xcode successfully running in a VM, though Ashley adviced against it since Apple may not exactly like that. If you have an old macbook around, you can use this dosdude1.com/software.html to update it to the newest macos even if it´s not officially supported. Worked like a charm for my 2009 macbook.

  I have these black previews too sometimes, but they usually get sorted out by simply letting the preview run for a minute or so even if it appears to do nothing. Any further preview then starts up quick.

  I had to delete the google play plugin otherwise it wouldn't work. I did create a bunch of platforminfo conditions thinking it will solve it but it didn't.

  For me the game wasn't running at all as long as the google play plugin was in the project, even if unused. But that was a while ago, could be that it was fixed and the errors can be ignored. Have you tried running it on a device?

  Maybe you (or someone else) can get $1 recognizer to run, source code is on the website.

  Hasn´t the emulator been broken for a while now for reasons out of Scirras control? I think I´ve read that somewhere. Best case you have an iphone or ipad for testing at hand or know someone who is willing to test for you or can lend you the device.

  Also you´ll need an apple developer account which is quite a bit more expensive than for the play store. And obviously all the services you might use that are tied to google (highscore lists and such) need to be adjusted for iOS.

  Why would you use a button for that?

  I'd say it's a bit of a trap for new users. You need a button and there is a dedicated button-object, seems like a reasonable idea to use it. Until you realize how restricted and terrible they are to use.

  Yeah the moment you require different texture offsets and scalings it just turns into a mountain of work and number tweaking.

  Masking without the whole blend mode shenanigans would be very cool, but I would even be fine if sprites just had a crop top/bottom/left/right property. That would entirely solve the issue here. Maybe it isn´t even that hard to implement, but that one would be up for Ashley to decide.

  I´ve also checked out some video from Runeterra to see how they did it and they absolutely use two different images. It´s very quick and easy to miss. So as far as I can tell, they actually do not expand the image in the container.

  

  EDIT: Image...

  I have a different idea: Tiled Backgrounds. It will take some tinkering with Image offsets and Image scales.

  drive.google.com/file/d/1rHEBKR8JWH4pwXJ_wzra-c4v1KlURtbJ/view

  If you do it this way I would recommend you entirely work out how this will animate at first with all the scalings and offsets. Once all the animations are down, you know exactly how big the final image needs to be and where the character has to be positioned on it. All further images have to conform to this guide, or you´ll end up having to do individual animations for each card, but I think that is a reasonable restriction to work with.
