The camera and the photo gallery

The phone can be put into a take-photo mode and back out of it.

TCG Card Shop Simulator ships a camera of its own: the phone can be put into a take-photo mode and back out of it, the shot is framed on a grid with a centre mark, the camera screen opens and closes, taking a photo has its own sound, and the pictures go into a gallery you can open full screen.

In play

Taking a picture in the shop is a mode rather than a click. There is a way into the take-photo mode and a way back out of it, so the phone is doing something specific while you are framing a shot.

The shot is framed on a grid. There is a grid and a centre mark for it, which is what the game draws over what you are pointing at rather than leaving you to guess at the middle of the picture.

The camera has its own screen. It opens and closes, so the viewfinder is a screen of its own rather than a corner of another interface.

There is a sound for the shot, with a version for the pad as well. That is how the game tells you a picture was actually taken rather than merely framed.

What you take goes into a gallery. A picture can be opened full screen and closed again, which is why the camera and the album are two parts of one feature rather than two unrelated screens.

What this entry does not tell you: how many pictures can be kept, where they are stored, or whether they can be taken of anything in particular. We have not verified those, so we do not print them.
