Wagic, the Homebrew ?!, MTG for PSP/Android/iOS/Win/Linux/N9

[frwololo]

Updated to version 0.12.1

This release contains around 700 new unique cards (including a bunch of cards from Rise of the Eldrazi..yes, even level up creatures), and a story mode, that I expect to become one of the major features of the game in the long term.

Amazing, thanks frwololo. BTW I posted on your forum and never got an answer, last I checked.

Amazing, thanks frwololo. BTW I posted on your forum and never got an answer, last I checked.

Sorry for that, sometimes questions get easily lost in the crowd of messages..
I searched my forums and found only one post by you, regarding the pictures. Is that the one you are mentioning? There's an answer to you by "abrasax" on the post just after yours

Yes, that's me, the six day delay missed me. BTW, we do have MED in HQ, and we may have some of the others, I'll have to check. If you have a list of missing HQ pics I can find out for sure if we have them or not.

Wagic 0.13 was released yesterday

It's a major new release. I don't post here as often as I'd like, but we try to make the wait worth it.
People can enjoy 177 playable cards from the latest expansion "Scars of Mirrodin". Yes, that's roughly 70% of the set playable

Here is the full changelog:

* More than 800 new unique cards, including cards from Magic 2011 and Scars of Mirrodin. Wagic now allows you to play with more than 11700 cards (6300 unique)
* New loading screens by Kaioshin
* Card engine/parser updates, see list below
* Story mode improved (new rewards)
* Mulligan (thanks almosthumane)
* Support of Chinese language by linshier
* Advanced themes by Jeck. Give a try to the “gemstones” theme!
* Additional option to pass phases automatically (almosthumane)
* Improved deck selection menus (mnguyen)
* Support for “tiny crops” images (from slightlymagic.net), recommended for PSP users (better performance)
* Too many bug fixes to mention. Thanks to ALL devs!

I will try to post screenshots of the tiny crops mode, IMO it turns out great, and really helps on the PSP where there's not so much Ram. Thanks to slightlymagic.net for these pictures

Parser updates:

Code: Select all

Fixed keywords:

CANTREGENERATE --> now CANTREGEN. The engine always handled it as "REGENERATE" and thus had to be renamed.

Nice update, and I'm glad you got use from the tiny crops. I'm looking forward to the screenshots of them in action.

I have been remiss in my duties in not visiting this forum sooner & taking Wagic out for a test drive.

Well, I did the latter just this afternoon & I am very impressed with what I'm seeing, even at this early stage of my playing it. I really like the GUI, frankly it's gorgeous, both visually & in it's ease of use. I find the keyboard use a bit different & I'd like it to be mouse driven if possible, but everything else about it is marvelous. The flow of the cards as part of the turn sequences & the really catchy mana symbols in flight are wonderful & very unique.

I have allot to learn to get fully comfortable with the flow of the game, but I am looking forward to exploring this incredibly rich application and I am even more intrigued by the Story mode of play. As a resident of Shandalar, , you just know that I love me some adventure gaming with MTG as the world background!

Very well done & I will now, thanks to a heads up about this project by Huggy, correct my grievous error by making sure that this forum becomes part of my regular foray into the awesome web site that is CCGHQ!

Version 0.14 was released a few days ago
It includes more than 400 new cards, support for Japanese, new AI opponents, full support of the Nokia N900 (it was work in progress in the previous release), new menus for deck selection, various AI improvements, and many many bug fixes.

The windows version now has mouse support, be sure to check it out (there are 2 windows versions, be sure to download the right one for mouse support)

We are currently actively working on iOS support (iPhone and iPad), and there's already a working prototype, it's just a matter of time now

[Huggybaby]

Mouse support at last, must check it out.

Thanks frwololo.

Version 0.15 was released yesterday
It adds more than 1000 unique cards (so Wagic now supports 7700 unique cards, more than 13700 if you count reprints), and dozens of bug fixes.
The windows archive now has both the "mouse" and "keyboard" versions, so you can play with the one you prefer.

We are still working on porting Wagic to other platforms such as the iPad, and would love some help

you can download the new version here (available for PSP/Windows/Linux/Maemo)

[frwololo]

Version 0.16 was released last Week. It adds 500 unique cards, making the total a bit above 8150 cards.

We also improved the flexibility of Wagic, getting one step closer to letting people creating entirely new games with the engine. In this version, it is already very easy to create mods in which, for example, your opponent's creatures get +1/+1, or where your opponent gets to draw an additional card every turn, or... basically anything that is doable with the cards scripting engine can now be defined as a rule for your mod.

Download here

[frwololo]

After 6 months of work, we are back with Wagic 0.17.

This time we add 500 new cards, but our big milestone is that Wagic is now available for iOS and Android users. iOS users will need a jailbroken device that supports openGL2 (from my understanding, that means iPhone 3GS or above, including iPad and iPad2, I am not sure for iPod compatibility). Android users need android 2.3 or higher.

We hope to see more players join the community, and hopefully a few devs will come and lend a hand. With now 7 platforms to support for a handful of hobbyists, we would really appreciate the help

[jmartus]

can we get a pc version with mouse support please
thanks

[frwololo]

can we get a pc version with mouse support please
thanks

The PC version with mouse support has been available for more than a year now and was of course updated to 0.17 as well, you can get it on the same download page as the other platforms : http://wololo.net/wagic/download

Having only recently decided to look into PSP homebrew--once I discovered (thanks to your site, frwololo) that it was pathetically easy to install a custom firmware onto my 6.60 PSP-slim--I finally checked out Wagic for the first time. I have to say, frwololo, you've done some very impressive things (and your visual effect for mana in the mana pool is somewhat similar to an idea I've wanted to have in Incantus for ages, but never learned how to do (although it would have been orbs of colored light floating over the cards and coalescing into spells and abilities, rather than floating in the corner, but would also have been much harder to implement)). Of course, I cringed when I looked into your card definition format, but I fully understand how hard it is to make an even remotely accurate Magic implementation on the limited hardware of the PSP. Very impressive... and the card-buying mechanic really makes it feel like an actual game, very unlike Incantus. Congratulations all around.
