Archenemy+Planechase in your browser for offline games

[mark]

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.

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

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
