TCG-TERM
A minimal open source mtg-like tcg game made in python that can be played on a terminal emulator using a keyboard.
Project state:
? ??? Incomplete, In development ??? ?
(Keep in mind that at the moment, This project is currently undone, and will not work, if you try to lunch it.)
Latest prototype of this project are in the TEST directory which like the name imply is for testing and development purposes.
Once the TEST directory has a working prototype, i will start to refine it, by making more generalise function that have more flexibility, i will separate most of the code in their own function & modual.
So far the summoning with color cost and non color is a bigger challange then expected to get working, I am doing my best but so far their is still much to fix. for example being able to use any colors of lands to pay for colorless cost...
All of this could probably be acheaved with javascript on an html webpage, but i whanted to play on the terminal, so if you wish to adapt the code for a more web based experience feel free to contribute to this project.
I will probably Reuse some code and thechnics from this previus project of mine.
It was a verry similar project, and i learn a lot from making it, even do I try to keep this project simple, i do not whish to rush it, and i do not have that much free time to work on it, so things can take some time to take shape.
What is tcg-term?
It started as a project to make an mtg alternative game on the linux terminal, but i now aim to include other style of tcg game play mode while avoiding to enfringe on the copy rightable content.
It is a minimalistic, open-source, tcg-like game, made in python, that can be played on most terminal emulator on linux.
The first goal to be realistic in scope, is to have a playable single player game, with simple generated card, that have simple Keyword ability effect. Then once completed, add complexity progressivelly, and maybe in the far long distant future a form of multiplayer.
3 main gamemode "inspired" by:
- Mtg
- P0k3m0n
- Yu-g!-0h
And maybe a gamemode called Battle-Cry ( Another one of my open source project Here on Github. )
Concept art
I am still not sure what is the best way to display the mana cost.
