This project has two major parts: a deck generator, and a virtual
|
|
|
|
|
playfield. The purpose is to allow for creating and playing custom
|
|
|
|
|
decks in a physical card game, or generation of decks for use in
|
|
|
|
|
Tabletop Simulator. Currently, there is support for [Sentinels of the
|
|
|
|
|
Multiverse](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/102652/sentinels-multiverse)
|
|
|
|
|
(SotM), a co-op fixed-deck card game based on super heros, though
|
|
|
|
|
other templates could be added relatively easily.

## Deck Generator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supports generating custom hero, villain, and environment decks for
|
|
|
|
|
SotM. Currently based on uploading JSON input files, though minimal
|
|
|
|
|
editing in the browser has also been implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Requires installation of fonts on local computer, as they cannot be
|
|
|
|
|
distributed due to their license**

|
|
|
* ~~SC logo = [Detectives, Inc](http://www.blambot.com/font_detectivesinc.shtml)~~
|
|
|
|
|
* not actually needed, as the glyphs are baked in
|
|
|
|
|
* Hero/Villain HP & Villain Names = [Armor Piercing](http://www.blambot.com/font_armorpiercing.shtml)
|
|
|
|
|
* Card Headers & HP = [Crash Landing](http://www.blambot.com/font_crashlanding.shtml)
|
|
|
|
|
* Card Text = [Red State Blue State](http://www.blambot.com/font_rsbs.shtml)

|
|
Templates are based on those from BoardGameGeek user Koga, found here:
|
|
|
|
|
https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/813176/card-templates/, but have been
|
|
|
|
|
converted to SVG and rather heavily modified/cleaned up.

|
|
|
## Playfield
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can load decks created by the generator. In theory, can play any deck
|
|
|
|
|
from Tabletop Simulator, with minor effort (it needs to be pointed at
|
|
|
|
|
the right part of the JSON). This allows for playing many offcial and
|
|
|
|
|
unoffical (such as
|
|
|
|
|
[The Cauldron](http://tangent.meromorph.com/cauldron/), a popular fan
|
|
|
|
|
expansion) decks.

### Controls:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Best on a touch screen, but works okay with a mouse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* primary controls are dragging, tapping, long pressing, and double
|
|
|
|
|
tapping
|
|
|
|
|
* you can drag into and out of decks, which takes/puts cards from
|
|
|
|
|
the top of the deck
|
|
|
|
|
* hold shift while dragging into a deck to put a card on the bottom
|
|
|
|
|
* long press on a deck to open a listing, where you can search,
|
|
|
|
|
rearrange, and tap to add to playfield
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Libraries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The backend uses PhantomJS for rendering decks
|
|
|
|
|
* The playfield uses interact.js
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## To do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of things still to be done here, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Making it look prettier
|
|
|
|
|
* finishing the editor
|
|
|
|
|
* adding a context menu to the playfield
|
|
|
|
|
* adding some sort of tutorial or help to the playfield
|
