What's stopping someone from making an open source card game simulator to play games online with friends or randos using basic actions and zones? Uploading .pngs of cards would be the easiest part. There has to be someone who wants this, like a card game version of what d20 system games have in many, many different forms. Do card game autists just love paying money to toy companies too much to do this? Why are people still playing on proprietary programs or with expensive paper cards for games with lots of old, rare cardboard that could be completely digitized for almost zero cost? it's not like hasbro can sue a company just for making a deck shuffling/drawing engine with ability to add your own card images.
Those already exist, they just all look like ass and control like bucket of cocks, because open source.
>>97323575Where? I've never seen one. Can't be worse than playing dnd over skype.
>>97323582Usually hiding in their dedicated IRC channels (that's like Discord servers for boomers).
>>97323514Isn't that just Cockatrice?
>>97323514No one. EDOPro is very popular
>>97323514It's called Cockatrice.
Tabletop sim is basically this
>>97323514Because it's generally ass compared to actually playing in person or in an engine that handles the complicated parts of the rules for you.I'm not going to lie, I love Cockatrice. I play lots of games in Cockatrice and Forge. But I cannot deny it's just way worse then playing the game any other way. If you want to have a cheap Magic experience, just proxy. Duh.
>>97324181>If you want to have a cheap Magic experience, just proxyBut I want to have a free magic experience, online
>>97324100That requires too much setup. I'm talking dropping an image file into a folder, and playing.
>>97323514open source is communism
>>97324530The fuck are you on about? My buddies and I play TTS Magic like once a week, it’s extremely easy. It literally does not get easier than copy/pasting the URL of your Mtggoldfish deck into TTS and it instantly pops up, magically accompanied by one copy of every single token your deck can make. What else do you want?
>>97326501Found the corpo. Don't you have three minimum wage jobs to work in order to afford rent? Can't be posting on /tg/ from a corpo machine.
yes open source card game simulatormillions of themlurk moar faggot
cockatriceuntapxmage
>>97324530Lmao I think you might be functionally retarded, maybe you should try and actually set up a game of Magic on TTS and see how easy it is
>>97328101Open source is for tranny communists. Just pirate the paid version of whatever you like anyways
Literally Tabletop Simulator.>But I have to upload the images!Yes, dipshit. You have to add assets to a program for the program to have the assets in it.
>>97323514Stuff exists, but i think theres a genuine unanswered niche of something like Magic duels that could exist. AKA that full 3d MTG simulator with fancy effects. someone ought to make it.
>>97323514I remember there was a Pokemon TCG one that was all manual. It didn't look good and I ended up playing with some random Brazilian kid. This was over a decade ago.Implementing card behaviors is a can of worms because every card game expansion set has some bullshit gimmick you have to account for.
