Making It Work: Programming
« 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.
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

It's really not that tough to do.
