A deck playtesting companion for Star Wars Unlimited — register your decks, run test games, and see which decks actually win. (It includes a full life counter for the games themselves.)
A quick run-through — Home → Decks → a deck's matchups → Settings → starting a test game and counting life:

A persistent bottom tab bar — Home · Decks · Settings — is always one tap away (a brushed-silver bar with a dark active-tab marker). It hides during a game and in focused edit flows. Exit (Android/web only) lives on Home, in portrait.
Home is a compact metallic dashboard, not a menu. A top app-bar (linked to the top edge) carries the centered SWU PLAYTESTING title — framed by a single engraved line that runs beneath it and turns up diagonally at both ends to reach the top edge — and three centered stats — Decks, Games, and Best Deck (your performance-ranked #1 deck, marked with a crown). Below it:
- Top decks — your top 4 decks as metallic cards: an aspect-colored edge, the name, a numbers-only record (
15-5-2), a recent-form sparkline, and a one-tap TEST. (Kept short so the Play button stays reachable; the full list is one tap away on the Decks tab — no "see all" link needed. No rank numbers, no per-card win %.) - New Test Game — Player and Opponent each on their own full-width row (every deck shows all its aspect dots; Random is in italic), then a gold Play Test Game button.
- Exit (Android/web, portrait only).
There is deliberately no single "win rate" — an average across many decks and matchups isn't a meaningful number, so the ranking is the signal instead. Empty and large libraries degrade gracefully (a create-first-deck call-to-action; the list simply caps at the top 4 — the full library is one tap away on the Decks tab). Portrait and landscape both keep Play Test Game reachable.
Starting a test — Play Test Game, or a deck's Test — opens the life counter, initialized from your settings (team colors, initial life). Tap +/− to change life; values clamp to [-9, 99] so cosmic-damage situations stay expressible.
Each side shows its deck in a bottom-left bubble you can tap to change mid-game, an INITIATIVE control, and a divider with a hamburger menu (Return to Home / Reset Life) plus an end-game checkmark (enabled while at least one side is a real deck). The checkmark prompts for the outcome — You won / Opponent won / Draw / Cancel — and records it. Leaving via Return to Home is a deliberate exit: it records nothing.
The Decks tab is one shared list of decks, sorted alphabetically by default. Each deck has a name (≤ 50 chars), 0–3 aspects (Vigilance, Command, Aggression, Cunning, Heroism, Villainy), an optional leader, an optional archetype tag, and free-text notes. Decks render as metallic cards with an aspect-colored edge, a numbers-only record, a recent-form sparkline, and a streak. A collapsible Filters panel narrows by name / aspect / archetype and sets the sort (Name or Games played) and order (Asc/Desc). The same deck can be chosen for both sides of a game (a mirror, which counts twice). From a deck's detail screen, two default checkboxes (silver = Player, gold = Opponent) pin that deck as the default for each side; tapping a checked box unchecks it and resets that side to Random.
Stats are symmetric: one recorded game updates BOTH decks (A beats B ⇒ A gains a win vs B and B gains a loss vs A). A game vs Random still counts toward the real deck and shows under a "Random" row in its matchups. Each deck's detail screen shows the deck's record (numbers only) + recent form + streak, a labeled identity (Leader: …, Archetype: …), and head-to-head matchups grouped under labeled event headers (Event: PETRANAKI). Matchups are display-only (derived from your games): an existing matchup's strategy notes are shown read-only with an explicit Edit to change them — there is no per-matchup archetype and no "add" option. Bulk Add backfills a season of playtesting in one go (pick a matchup, type W/L/D + an event tag). Game History lists every game a deck played, grouped by opponent — your record plus each individual game "against deck X" with a W/L/D chip, event, date, and notes — and lets you add, edit, or delete records inline.
Decks, matchups, and game history persist across launches. Deleting a deck cascades its matchups + games and self-heals the loadout. Storage migrates automatically across versions.
- Team Colors — a dropdown per side (colored dot + name) from an 8-color lightsaber-inspired palette (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white).
- Initial Life Points — default 0; edit the number directly between
−/+, or tap a quick-pick chip: 0 / 25 / 30 / 35. - Animations — a single toggle for all animations (overlays, the initiative pop, and the starfield-drift background).
- Haptic feedback — for +/− presses (mobile only; hidden on web).
Settings persist across launches.
A metallic-on-deep-space design system: brushed-silver surfaces with dark, high-contrast text and a gold accent — reserved for the primary Play Test Game button and selected states (header icons and the active tab use the neutral dark tone, not gold). It floats over a shared animated starfield (neutral near-black, no blue cast, toggleable). Reusable tokens + a components/ui kit keep every screen consistent. Custom app icon. Layouts adapt to portrait and landscape.
