Wagic, the Homebrew !?

wololo wrote: the player to "choose" which card will be blocked... meh, I could choose the first "valid" attacker if the player does not choose one by himself after all.


Here is my own wishlist: I need C++ developers. In the weeks/months to come I want to focus on network. This is not a feature I will use myself, but I promised I would do it, and I know lots of people are waiting for it. It will take a while. Wagic also needs improvement in user friendliness, design, and, as card creators know, supporting more card mechanics, rewriting the parser... Not mentioning PSP specific issues (memory leaks, various bugs, performance...) and AI improvements.
There's easily enough work for a dozen people here. If you happen to be reading this forum and be alright with C++, your help would be much appreciated. There are tasks for all kind of skills. All I ask is that you submit a patch to the code before I give you write access to the svn (to make sure you're an actual developer).
See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=266

Wagic is reaching a limit in code size that makes it difficult to be maintained by a dev alone.

Its times like these that I wish I went to school for coding/gaming instead of architecture....

Really hope some people interested in this game that know c++ hop on board as it just being wololo at this point is a shame as this homebrew is fantastic bc of him but he needs the help.

I can help in the graphics department though.

For example once you've collected the images and thumbnails you could zip them up so its a single file as apposed to a couple hundred smaller files. Then the game can access that zip (or whatever) as a resource. The files structure would be "sets/RV/rv.res" and the _cards.dat would be outside of the .res file so you can make changes without unpacking the .res file. Don't know if that makes sense, not even sure if its possible. But it would make it easier for us forum browsers to locate and publish sets, and make it faster to copy files to and from memory cards. Just an idea.

-I would like to see "foreach" work with all 'auto' parameters that exist. If it does already, let me know! All I ever see is it being used to modify power/toughness.

-A system for allowing a card to have an effect at a certain time every turn. E.G.> At the beginning of your upkeep.... A system like the delayed card draw parameters would be nice. @upkeep, @myupkeep, @opponentupkeep, @draw, @mydraw, @opponentdraw, etc.
This alone would allow hundreds of new cards to be created.

(and it is obviously still compatible with the current system - all files in the directory)
I think naming the zip file with the same name as the set might bring less confusion, what do you guys think ?
