Hi Richard,

thanks for your reply. I don't mind creating the dummy 00 card but what do you do with it when it shows up in one of your readings??? Do you just draw another card from the pack to replace it?

I'm not a programmer, just a crazy person who dreams up ideas to test the programmer's skills, lol!
But, would it be possible to have the 00 card (as a dummy card) but to exclude it from the reading? (Like having a tick box on the deck options table that we could tick/untick for each deck to state whether or not we wanted the 00 card to be included in the pack for readings)? Would that make it less buggy?

I wrote in the other thread (Oracle and multiple backs) regarding having the ability for sub-categories (Majors, Minors, Courts etc) which I believe would be a really beneficial function.

Hi Richard!

Zero is where you still have your shoes on . . . .-) Actually, zero is profound. I remember way back when I was teaching alternative number bases to gifted seventh graders. Base two. . . .remember that? Then on to base eight, and on to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024. . . sound familiar? Anyhow, using zero is simply a mind-set, base ten - ten symbols 0 - 9. Don't change a thing! I LIKE taking my shoes off!

Many Blessings,

Christine

Hi Christine,

If you take a look at the beta you will see I included the number ten in the menu icon (I was going to include a couple of footprints but I thought some users might find that confusing)!
