[align=justify]

OK I only noticed a few days a go but if you look on the text of all our cards the effects/flavour part is aligned to the left, while on IRL cards that part of the card is "justified".

 

For those of you who don't know, "justify" (when it refers to writing) means when the text is evenly spaced out on each line, so that the edges of each row are in line with each other. It's not a big change and not a drastic one but it would make our cards look more realistic. Hopefully I'll get some interest on this topic and then it might get to YCMaker but who know's:/ If anything this thread will probably go ignored.

I just mentioned this in the General section, in response to some stupid suggestion to keep big cards out of Realistic.

 

Also, support. It would presumably not be too easy to program, but it would make the cards much more lifelike.

I've wanted to do this for a while, but there a few things that are holding me back. PHP has no built-in functionality that allows the justification of text, so I would have to program it myself. The Card Maker currently calculates the needed length of each line of text, and then renders it onto the card, line by line. In order to appropriately space out the text to be justified, the description would have to be rendered word by word, as opposed to line by line. This would dramatically increase the generating time, as well as put additional strain on the server. I've been looking for a solution to this for a while, but as of yet I haven't found one. If I ever do, though, I won't hesitate to implement it.

this is a good idea, to bad it can't be implimented
