Dice
|
Repo | Demo (not used yet)

Handle dice display and animation WORK IN PROGRESS Only d6 is started
|
Moving object using CSS animation (mostly)
|
Phantom object move on oversurface
|
https://codepen.io/VictoriaLa/pen/gORvdJo
|
This technique creates clone of the object it moves it on another surface. It works well when parents that css transform applies such as scale and rotate
|
Move object directly using positioning
|
https://codepen.io/VictoriaLa/pen/dyzgKVX
|
This technique is modification of BGA framework method to allow mobile object not to have absolute position before or after the move (and uses css animation not dojo). Methods slideToObjectRelative, attachToNewObjectNoDestroy
|

Alternative implementations of BGA modules
|
Scrollmap with zoom
|
https://github.com/yansnow78/bga_scrollmap
|
you can find it in cacao an implementation in cacao (currently only changed in studio) . # improvements compare to scrollmap:
- add zoom capabilities
- add possibility to adjust pan delta to tile size when clicking on arrows
- allow zoom with scroll wheel. only allow zoom with wheel if alt or ctrl or shift are pressed by default. add possibility to select which key need to be pressed when zooming with wheel
- allow pan/scroll and pinch zoom on smartphone. only allow 2 fingers to start scrolling by default, one finger is for page scrolling
- make clickable area of buttons a bit bigger on smartphone
- improve animation between game board and player bards thanks to an animation_div
- add support to long click on buttons (continuous scroll or zoom or enlarge/reduce until button released)
|
Scrollmap Plus
|
patchwork
|
Implementation with some bugs fixed, improved drag support and ability to use only one direction (i.e. only horizontal like carousel). Found in modules/extscrollmap.js
|

|
Repo | Demo (visible on Knarr, King of Tokyo, Abyss, ...)

Projects on studio
Any developer can add themselves to a project as read-only from https://studio.boardgamearena.com/#!projects page (almost any project).
If it is not visible: a) it has no bgg id b) it is already published (use radio button to switch) c) it is an old game not developed on studio.
