Greetings! I have two questions about Tetra Master (the card game) internals. I'm not certain these can be answered unless you're a game programmer, but asking won't hurt.
1) When two cards battle, as in arrow vs. arrow, each card is assigned a HP, so to say, and then both card's HP is lowered (by random, I suppose) until one card wins over the other. But most of the times, the losing card doesn't reach zero HP, but may stop on anything from 0 to it's original HP minus a few points, from what I can make of it. Why is this? What makes one card win over the other?
2) If you play regularly with certain cards, you'll notice them "growing" over time, in both strength, defense and the M/P->X->A determiner. I think I remember reading somewhere that attacking cards successfully grows strength, while defending successfully in magic attacks and physical attacks grows magic defense and physical defense respectively, but:
- What makes the second digit (M/P->X->A determiner) grow?
- Does A in this position do anything more than X, besides adding 1(?) point to your collector's level?
- Does certain cards have a higher growth than others? I doubt this, but I'm not sure.
Thank you.
