Archenemy+Planechase in your browser for offline games

Well, I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I wrote simulators for planechase and archenemy card decks, which we use on a laptop/smartphone to enhance our offline Magicgames.
You can try them online or download them.

Basically I took the cardimages from magiccards.info, decklists from wherever and wrote some Javascript to have a deck of virtual cards in your browser where you can draw the top card, OCR'ed the text etc.

The planechase simulator could be a little bit different from the official rules, I did not play it yet to check.

Tell me what you think :-)

I replaced the deck shuffling algorithm today because... well, it sucked :lol:

If you downloaded the packages, you should replace them (the main html file suffices).

So AE and PC now use the well known (or rather should better be well known) Fisher-Yates algorithm. It is simple, fast and unbiased, the old one was neither.

If you wrote software where shuffling is an issue and you implemented the shuffling yourself, better take a look at the FY algo :wink:
