Title: Making It Work: Programming
Post by: K2 on August 21, 2010, 11:17:16 PM

So, what do we need to make this work?

We COULD get a copy of Comex's TCG Shuffle Software and mod it to work on SMF. Or we could write a new program.

The program would work as follows:

A. Integrated with SMF on the forum using a bot, the bot posts every time an action occurs involving the dueling software.

B. Program makes use of five SQL Tables. Deck, Hand, Field, Afterlife, and Non-existence.

C. Each card would be an SQL field?

D. Shuffle capabilities (randomization)

E. Dice/Coin Capabilities (either 1/6 probability or 50% probability randomization)

If this ever gets complete before we make an assload of cards to playtest, K23, I will forever be in your debt.
In the likely event that it's not though, I have an alternate method of playing (it requires a third person though...)

Dammit, if only I knew programming... !!

I really am not that great at programming but can attempt some of this. The more PHP/SQL parts I may need help on though, especially merging it with the forum script.

I'd love to learn that kind of programming. Web programming's interested me for two years now.

It's really not that tough to do.
