Collectible Card Game Headquarters

CardFactory :

Similar to how Forge checks for the pump abilities....

Code: Select all

  //Check for Cycling ability
  private final int shouldCycle(Card c)
  {
      ArrayList a = c.getKeyword();
      for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++)
          if (a.get(i).toString().startsWith("Cycling"))
              return i;
     
      return -1;
  }


Then use it to instantiate the conveniently pre-fabricated Ability_Cycle.

Code: Select all

    // Cards with Cycling abilities
    // -1 means keyword "Cycling" not found
    if (shouldCycle(card) != -1)
    {
        int n = shouldCycle(card);
        if (n != -1)
        {
            String parse = card.getKeyword().get(n).toString();
            card.removeKeyword(parse);

            String k[] = parse.split(":");
            final String manacost = k[1];

            card.addSpellAbility(CardFactoryUtil.ability_cycle(card, manacost));
    }//Cycling


In cards.txt -
Cardname
Mana
Type
Text
{P/T}
Cycling:G
note - no space around the ":"
The mana cost is extracted directly, so it's formatted in the usual spaced format - "1 G"

This opens up a few more french vanilla creatures. I'll post those cards.txt and such another time.

103 cards have cycling according to Magiccards.info searches.

as BDM has said often enough, "Cycling Rocks!"

Someone please implement Lightning Rift. Then we can add some cycling lands and come up with a simple cycling deck.

I don't know if you could do that. The ability_cycle would need to be made aware of all possible cards that would care about when a card is cycled. Even the cards themselves... there are a number of cards that say "when this card is cycled, do _____" but that's not going to be done easily.

Yeah lightning rift sounds tricky

Great job with the cycling cards, Rob. That adds a boatload of new cards

It's not quite a boat load yet....

I started off doing demographics of various types of spell effects, and found that at the time, there were many cards I couldn't program generically, because they had Cycling or was a cantrip. So I needed these basic elements available to combine with the actual meat of the spells to make the rest of my work worth it.
