Card Idle Remastered

Card Idle Remastered is a WPF remake of Idle Master, developed by jshackles (https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master).

It offers rich UI and flexible idle management.

Card Idle Remastered was designed to browse all games with card drops and to idle one selected game as simple as possible (in a single click).

It helps to get remaining card drops in games you own without wasting disk space and CPU and RAM resources.

I publish notifications about new Card Idle releases in Twitter #CardIdleRemastered. Additionally Card Idle Remastered performs auto-check for new releases at startup.

Select Idle mode. Default mode is "One by One" which means that Card Idle runs one game idle process at a time and starts the next game only when all cards received.

Two "Trial" modes ("Trial First" and "Trial Last") were introduces for games which have 2 hour delay before cards begin to drop. Card Idle will run such "trial" games together, stop those what reached 2 hour and pick next from the queue. Default number of processes is 16, max number is 255. When there is no more trial games Card Idle switches to "One by One" mode.

Due to changes in Steam card drop system it became possible to get 1 card drop with a simple method: 1. launch a game from library 2. wait some time 3. quit the game. "Periodic Switch" mode automates the process. Card Idle starts the 1st game from the queue, waits for a short interval, stops the game, waits a bit for Steam to react (and possibly drop a card), starts the 2nd game from the queue, waits, stops it, etc, repeat for all games in the queue.

If "All" mode is selected, Card Idle will start all games from the idle queue.

Click [Stop] button to interrupt automatic idle if necessary
