[CODE] Display more info on Switch Screen

[scribblecrumb]

Description Problem: If you have many Clans, it's difficult to remember which is which when on the Switch Clan screen.

Proposal: We should display more info for each Clan. Perhaps a button beside each Clan name that, when clicked, expands a text box containing this info. Info to include:

• Clan symbol (might be nice to have this visible even before the info button is clicked)
• Clan Leader
• Game mode
• Moon count
• Current season
• Biome (and camp?)

Adding on to this:

• Amount of Cats
• Date Last Played

I could probably add some of these in my user stats project.

Suggestion: I really like the idea of having a separate section on the left side of the switch clan screen that displays the description of the currently selected clan, including the symbol and leader images and all that stuff, without needing to click any button to activate it. This section will automatically show the information as soon as you select a clan.

That sounds good to me Poppy! That does mean that we'll need to implement a separate "load" button, as right now clicking the clan button immediately triggers the loading process and closes the game.

Could just have all this activate on hover.

[scribblecrumb]

Hmm... true. Though I wonder if we'll get players accidentally clicking without realizing info shows on hover? Honestly, considering the game closes on clan switch, it would probably be good to implement a confirmation popup

I haven't actually written any code down yet, but I did take the time to sketch out a rough layout for the project. I think having a visual draft will give us more ideas of what the finished product would look like. I am curious to hear your opinions on it.

@scribblecrumb Also, may I know what method did the assets used to create texts in them?

[scribblecrumb]

Just a digital art program. I use CSP. However, the #2577 PR is going to implement dynamic assets that you can generate via the code rather than needing full image files. You may want to wait till that's been merged (which should be soon, it's just going through some last bits of bug testing)
