The next version promises to use plain-text card definitions, but the effects are defined in a magic-related script language. The Magic Wars project by nantuko, is a PvP (but you can run two copies and play yourself) project. And only in the most recent few versions have stops in place during combat. The human can play instants as you would expect to be able to.
Then the AI randomly chooses one of those that returned true.Īnother limitation of the AI is that it can't respond with instants. Each ability that can be played at any given time has a canPlayAI() method, and the code in there returns true or false. Forge isn't capable of chess-like intelligence, where it tries different plays to see which one is best. We have an extensive (but not complete) list of keywords that the program can recognize.ĪS long as a custom card can fit into these keywords, Forge can support it directly.īut anything more complex, and you've got some Java code in your future. This is the current definition for Shivan Dragon: This is the current definition for Giant Growth: (in Cards.txt)Ĭard Text (or "no text" if the text will be defined by code) Some cards may be defined entirely by pure text. (like +1 or +2) My main goal in the project has been to standardize these common effects using "keywords". When I joined, I noticed that there were three cards all with the exact same code, (copy and pasted) just with different numbers for the scale of the effect. The other way, is through a pseudo-script interpreter. There are still a majority of our 2700+ cards using this method. The original way, is that there is a section of code in CardFactory.java, FOR EACH CARD (by name) which defines how the card functions and some code to tell the AI if it should play the card or the ability of a permanent.
While we're not going to focus on them, we understand that Forge can be a useful tool in working with a custom set to simulate play.įorge implements card effects and AI for them in two ways. We have a few custom cards implemented, and have seen requests for others. As one of the developers of the project, I can help answer some of these questions.
