Design Notes

The Cardographer Tabletop is made up of several components which allows the user to interact with ideation cards created for the tabletop, or created using the cardographer platform.

Interactables

1. Cards: The base for all other interactables. The card bse class contains the basic movement interactions and the rest of the interactables inherit from this class. A card is a flat plane with two textures, a front and back texture Cards can be combined together to create decks
2. Decks: A deck is a collection of cards, stacked together like you would in the physical world Like cards, a deck has a front and back texture, these however are based on the picture face of the bottom card, and the back face of the top card
3. Boards: Boards are a large plane with a single flat texture Boards can be locked to the table, preventing them from being moved
4. Annotations: Annotations act like post-it notes, they can be attachhed to each of the previous interactables You can change the colour and the text of annotations
