Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Tentative target release date: February 28 2015.

I just finished implementing initial support for the Tiny Leaders format. The only thing I need to add is deck building support and mobile support. So you should be able to play Tiny Leaders using generated decks that are legal to the format, respecting the CMC restriction, the ban list, as well as the additional commander ban list.

As part of this, I've increased the flexibility of the DeckGeneratorBase class and DeckFormat enum to support restricted pools. With this increased flexibility, my next plan is to add Pauper and Peasant support, and maybe Tribal Wars after that.

Let me know if the CMC percentages need tweaking for generated Tiny Leaders decks. At the moment I made it do 33% CMC 0-1, 33% CMC 2, and 33% CMC 3. I also think it might be adding too high a percentage of lands, so that may need adjusting.

Thanks.

hey can you do that too that if you select a Modern Deck for you and the Enemy has AutoGenerated from Colors, that he also only get a Modern legal deck?

and if you implement new formats i have some plans for Forge to implement some different Multiplayer settings like Pentraram or RainBow Magic ... (in a Pentragram only the far distant players are your enemies)

Adding format filtering is something I've wanted to do, so maybe this as good a time as any to do it.

So I'm now thinking I'm going to refactor Commander and Tiny Leaders formats.txt and extend the scripting supported by that so people can add their own custom formats and have us able to support them both from a deck building perspective as well as from a deck conformance and generation perspective.

How does this look so far?

Looks like a very handy and useful feature! Thanks!

This will be great for all the Forge tinkerers who want some more flexibility in the variants.

Some comments:
1) Mulligan would be a good extra parameter, since Commander uses Partial Paris, but others might have different ones.
2) Can you still play Momir Basic with any deck of only basic lands?

Already added FreeMulligan as parameter. I can change that to just Mulligan with a string type parameter, but currently we only support free mulligan as a boolean in the code.

Yes, Momir Basic can still be played that way using Vanguard and a custom built deck as before, but now you can just edit variants.txt if you want to change the deck breakdown. Eventually I'd hope to create a Variant Editor in Forge that could facilitate creating your own custom variants/formats with specific sets, banned lists, life/hand adjustments, etc.

Ok, so I've just committed the change that allows multiple games to be played simultaneously (desktop only). It's rather large, so I hope people can give it a good shake before the next beta release, to iron out any bugs (although my tests so far have been really stable). I've fixed all the bugs that I mentioned in the other thread earlier.

Note that there's a lot of code duplication in the selection code (SGuiChoose vs AbstractGuiGame). I'm still looking for a way to get rid of this, but the former is static while the latter is an abstract base class, so I'm not sure how to do that elegantly. Fixing this shouldn't change any functionality though, so it doesn't really matter for testing.

PS: in the meantime I've also fixed Ripple, as it was causing crashes during my testing

Congrats on getting such a huge overhaul complete!
Here's some initial testing: I updated to the latest SVN build and the first thing I got in the very first match (right at its start) was this exception:

It wasn't fatal though, I was able to continue playing past that point.

Fixed!

I think that after the latest GUI refactoring, the location where creatures are visualized on the battlefield has changed - right now, for the top player, creatures are displayed in a row above lands, which is unusual because before the refactoring, top player's creatures were displayed in a row below lands, "against" the bottom player's creatures (which looked good in combat, I think). Now my eyes have to constantly shift up to look at the row above lands, which is a little awkward in combat with the targeting arrows crossing the lands and stuff.

- Agetian

Huh, that's weird... Didn't even change anything related to that as far as I know. I'll investigate

(OTOH, if that's the worst bug this refactoring brings, I'm more than happy!!)
