Making a card game...?

Zarcath · 04-15-2008, 02:13 AM

I'd like to make something along the lines of Magic or WoW TCG. Anyone know of a client that could handle that?

Wow had to do a card game for an assignment yesterday, apparently something about 'prototyping' but really just a joke assignment. Ended up plagerising Triple Triad from FF8, adding races and classes to the cards like MTG to make it 'origonal'.

If you search google there are quite a few online programs that let you make MTG cards. I'm guessing you want something more sophisticaed than that though?

Would like to create my own CCG, not just a card. Hard to believe there isn't some sort of sandbox engine for that sort of thing.

Possibly because it's simple enough that the programming side isn't a major factor. Maybe just design it as a card game then look at how to implement it on computer?

For something like a card game, you'd probably need to do most of the work pen and paper anyway.

you are basically taking any engine and using just the UI with the client/server networking driving it.
