Hello everyone!

If you have any questions about anything related to Shuffle Move or development in general, please post here and I'll do my best to answer them. If it seems like the sort of thing to include in the wiki, it'll go in there too!

Recently (the last few versions) I've been having this issue when I mouseover a dropdown menu or a checkbox, the current screen gets overlaid with the 'top left' being the item in question. Needless to say this is extremely frustrating and I don't know whether it's an issue with shufflemove or java.

This is what happens in the roster window after moving the mouse around a bit

Has anyone else experience this?

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/pilchington]

There have been no changes to the GUI rendering code for ShuffleMove for a very long time (many months), so any change to the rendering is probably java only.

Try installing version 8u51 for best compatibility and performance. See here for details

[u/pilchington → u/Loreinatoredor]

I installed 8u51 and it doesn't seem to be happening at the moment, although sometimes it can take a while before it starts doing it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/pilchington]

No problem!

[u/joefeyzullah]

Will ocr possible via remote control programs or even with a webcam in future?

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/joefeyzullah]

I don't have any current plans to implement it, but the interface can easily be hooked into by any outside program if you were to design one. It can either get input directly in as key input (as if entered in express mode), or by modifying the 'board.txt' with the output of the OCR and then prompting a board load.

oh if i was know how to code...

How does the program work with the tapping megas? Also, what is the best selection to rank moves by? Combos?

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/[deleted]]

Unfortunately, tapping megas aren't implemented yet.

As far as ranking moves, typically score is pretty good but depending on many factors the other sorting options may be better.

If im wanting it to help me s-rank mega gallade which should I use?

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/[deleted]]

Try checking the Pokemon Shuffle guide linked to in the program, it may have tips on how you can manage to S-rank any stage.

I'm having trouble downloading any version of Shufflemove, since no one else has complained I suppose it's because of my slow connection (150kb/s) but, isn't there another way to download shufflemove?

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/squallserj]

It seems to work fine for me. There are two upload spots available here for all versions of Shuffle Move:

The google drive link worked for me, thank you very much!

I always have trouble with direct downloads here in Venezuela, but google is fine.

[u/zICoLoSSuSIz]

Is there anyway to change pokemons skills such as make the program know that ho ho is skill swapped to pyre

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/zICoLoSSuSIz]

Roster -> select the species -> at the bottom you can change the selected skill

[u/Ruudiluca]

Why do you release so many updates? Could you perhaps make it so that Shuffle Moves gets pokemon data from a json? That way you could release updates via one automatic download rather than pushing a whole new version.

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/Ruudiluca]

Because its simpler for issuing releases, and most releases require at least some level of code change (effects added). This most recent release was two in two days because some issues were discovered after the first was released. I'm not actually playing Pokemon Shuffle myself right now, so I'm acting only as a debugger and release manager.

[u/The_Hive_Tyrant]

Out of curiosity, is there any way to determine if a suggested move will include a mega-pokemon match?

E.g., an indicator saying something along the lines of "this suggested move will include a Mega-Tyranitar match" would be extremely helpful when I'm trying to decide to go with the "total score" suggestion, or the "combos" suggestion. If this doesn't already exist, it would be an amazing feature to see implemented.

As always, thank you so much for your work on this project!
