More tutor cards

[Sloth]

I would like to help to add a few more tutor cards to the game. First of all Imperial Seal and Sylvan Tutor can be added quite easily by adding this to card.txt:

Code: Select all

Sylvan Tutor
G
Sorcery
Search your library for a creature card and reveal that card. Shuffle your library, then put the revealed card back on top of it.

Imperial Seal
B
Sorcery
Search your library for a card, then shuffle your library and put that card on top of it. You lose 2 life.


and replacing 2 lines in cardfactory with the following lines:

Code: Select all

if(cardName.equals("Vampiric Tutor") || cardName.equals("Cruel Tutor") || cardName.equals("Imperial Seal"))


Code: Select all

if(cardName.equals("Worldly Tutor") || cardName.equals("Sylvan Tutor"))


The next one is:

Code: Select all

Grim Tutor
1 B B
Sorcery
Search your library for a card and put that card into your hand. Then shuffle your library. You lose 3 life.


together with this replacement:

Code: Select all

Another thing I found interesting is that Demonic tutor & co use CardFactoryUtil.AI_getBestCreature(list) to pick a card, while the other tutors do not. I haven't looked into this function but it seems to be useable by Worldly tutor (and Sylvan tutor) too, so I would suggest to replace:

Code: Select all

Card c = creature.get(0);

with

Code: Select all

Card c = CardFactoryUtil.AI_getBestCreature(creature);

As long as it won't cause any errors, the selection can only improve.

Well I programmed both Demonic Tutor and Worldly Tutor, ha. Sometimes you have one idea and another times you have another one. Some of CardFactory is a little random, like using different colored crayons, lol.

Thanks for the code.
