This is a failed submission meant for Lospec Jam 2, with its limitations and palette. However, I did not manage to make it work in time due to many external factors. As such, it is woefully unfinished and many issues unresolved. This is also caused by me being a complete programmer beginner and using raw Javascript.
This app is meant to be a simple one card draw. RN it is only one card from Majors although in future I may want to update the card count.

However, I still want to put it effort to make it useable. RN, only three cards look OK while the rest are placeholders. I am going to slowly upgrade all cards. I also want to add more info pages.
The card info that comes up contains info about astrology and hebrew letters. This is connected to more esoteric bits of tarot, that nonetheless can help even ordinary reading. I followed Golden Dawn associations as continental associations are all over the place and change with author.

The illustrations are sort of a mix of Crowley Thoth tarot and RWS. Naming wise I leaned more Crowley, although some names are taken from Marseille tradition. I also did my best to make the figures and the names of some cards gender neutral.

Erm, on this new version I can shuffle and see any card randomly instead of only one, and the name displays properly at the top of te description. There is no funny sentence below the picture either, so I’m unable to repro.

If you’re really curious you can probably check your previous code/data to find the word “salad”.

But the new version is much better as I can access all the cards and use the randomizer!

Unrelated UI bug:

I still see some text that is offset by one pixel (it happens if you center text with on odd width and don’t snap position to pixels) which makes it look blurry.

Will look at it next week! Prepping for doctor appointment and i cant focus on this. But this definitely gave me motivation to finish this!

Interesting! Too bad I can’t see the card’s name. What should it be?

Btw I read “let’s get salad” cut as “let’s qet salad” but I don’t know if it’s really a typo or if the text area is being cropped.

AH sorry! I dont check itch and i had a bad month...... its absolutely probably a typo haha..... I will have to return to it and finish the card art definitely and fix the card names. which card was it?
