UI / Menus

Changed

• Button image and text alignment
• Button alignment on Main Menu and Pause Menu

Added

• Button hover and unhover animations
• Controls Menu that opens when the Controls button is clicked on the Main Menu or Pause Menu
• Settings Menu opens when the Settings button is clicked on the Main Menu or Pause Menu
• Settings Menu sub-buttons open placeholder settings panels
• Settings Menu Close button dismisses the menu
• Volume sliders with live text blocks displaying current slider values; audio slider functionality implemented in code
• Placeholder entries in the Graphics Settings menu

Fixed

• Bug where multiple Controls Menus could be spawned if the Controls button was clicked while the Controls Menu was already open
• Bug where the Controls Menu button hover and click sounds increased in volume each time the menu was closed and reopened
• Bug where buttons on the Pause Menu or Main Menu could be clicked while the Controls or Settings menus were open
• Duplicate audio file that was overlooked during dynamic audio system setup in the CodeTesting map

Audio

Added

• Card flip sound implemented and routed through the Audio Manager PlaySimpleSound method
• Audio system configured for Settings Menu and Pause Menu; pauses current music track and plays the relevant menu audio track

Changed

• Default volume levels restored for both music tracks; default volumes can still be adjusted without breaking code
• Volume slider state saving implemented; audio settings are persisted to a text file using two new save/load functions called across appropriate locations

Gameplay — War Card Game

Fixed

• Click/round flow fix and card reveal timing rework:
  • Cards now spawn face-down (bStartFaceUp = false) on both PlayerDeck and EnemyDeck
  • HandlePlayerCardClicked rejects clicks while bRoundInProgress is true
  • PlayBattleRound now calls RevealCard on both top cards before comparing ranks, fixing premature or missing reveals
  • War tie loop correctly burns WarBurnCount cards per deck into the Pot and re-reveals new top cards each pass
  • SetSelectable(true) is applied to the next player top card immediately after AddCardsToBottom, removing the 1.5s click-block window
  • CleanupRound removes the stray RevealCard call that was pre-flipping the enemy's next card before the player's click
  • GetCardRank changed from a hardcoded 52-entry RankTable[] to arithmetic: (CardID % 13) + 2, eliminating risk of mistyped table entries
• Bug where Z-fighting caused mouse input to detect buried card actors instead of the true top card:
  • SetSelectable() now toggles collision (QueryOnly + Visibility when selectable, NoCollision otherwise); only the top card of each deck is interactable
• Timing bug where RevealCard() and the hide/move step ran in the same frame, making flipped cards invisible to the player:
  • Added RevealDelaySeconds (default 1.0s) timer between card reveal and hiding/moving cards to the winner's pile
• Biased card shuffle corrected:
  • WarPigsDefaultGameMode and DeckActor both updated from a full-range RandRange(0, Num()-1) to proper Fisher-Yates using RandRange(0, i) (counting down), producing a uniform distribution and reducing abnormal War frequency

Added

• Player can now choose between AI or Player-controlled enemy

Changed

• Slide Down animation on card buttons now plays only after the Slide Up animation fully completes

Player Controller & Pause System

Changed

• Replaced BindKey with Action Mappings
• Implemented proper pause/resume toggle on P
• Added UPauseMenu forward declaration and CurrentPauseMenu pointer
• Fixed compile errors related to missing type references
• Corrected module dependency from PaperZD to Paper2D
• Cleaned up input mode handling and pause menu creation
• WarPigsPlayerController.h: Restored correct include order so WarPigsPlayerController.generated.h is last, fixing UHT errors; added UPauseMenu* CurrentPauseMenu and bool bIsGamePausedByController members
• WarPigsPlayerController.cpp: Updated constructor to initialize new members; reworked HandlePause to own pause behavior — on P press, pauses game, loads WBP_PauseMenu, adds to viewport with Game+UI input and visible mouse cursor; tracks state via bIsGamePausedByController
• PauseMenu.cpp: Rewired buttons (Main Menu → CodeGameInstance::LoadMainMenu, Resume → ResumeGame, Controls → OpenControlsMenu); reimplemented TogglePauseMenu, PauseGame, and ResumeGame to delegate unpause to AWarPigsPlayerController::HandlePause, restoring GameOnly input on resume; updated OpenControlsMenu to use typed LoadClass

Config & Packaging

Added

• Config/DefaultGame.ini:
  • Added GameInstanceClass=/Script/wegaming.CodeGameInstance under [/Script/EngineSettings.GameMapsSettings]
  • Added [/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings] with +DirectoriesToAlwaysCook=(Path="/Game/UI") to ensure PauseMenu and ControlsMenu are cooked into the build executable

HUD

Added

• C++ WarPigsHUD widget class
• Gameplay HUD displaying player card count, enemy card count, and round result text
• Timed clearing of round result text after each battle
• Pulsing animation on gameplay hint text
• Automatic hint text removal after five seconds

Changed

• Connected WarPigsDefaultGameMode to update HUD after every completed round
• Connected WarPigsPlayerController to create and display the gameplay HUD
• Reparented WBP_TempHud to the WarPigsHUD C++ class
• Converted HUD root to a Canvas Panel for improved positioning and future expansion
• Updated WBP_TempHud anchors and layout to scale correctly with viewport size
• Adjusted hint pulse scale and pivot for a cleaner stationary animation
• Improved placement of player card count, enemy card count, and round result labels

Fixed

• Gameplay HUD not updating card counts during rounds
• Round result text remaining on screen indefinitely
• HUD widget bindings mismatched with C++ implementation
• HUD elements shifting to incorrect positions on window resize
• Hint text appearing to drift/move while pulsing
• Hint text remaining visible for the entire game session
