Dreamwalkers

Thanks for the suggestion. I did this partly for flavor reasons. It is not hard to change.
But I would keep sleeping instead of tapping for cards.

Magarena 2012 is now extended with a similar but more advanced approach to support millions of cards.
Compared to the current set of rule text patterns in Magarena 2012, the number of possible cards supported by Dreamwalkers is actually quite small, even though it is a very large number.
I could extend Magarena 2012 with an even fancier card generator than the one used in Dreamwalkers, but I think I will stick to the cards created by WOTC.

I did some tweaks to the game for my own enjoyment and made a release 1.9.

Better artwork for Drain, improved bloodlust trigger, minimum 12 noncommon cards in decks, removed splash screen.

[ubeefx]

I made 22 releases of Dreamwalkers.

I will not make it open source. There is no need for that.

Remember, software is not suddenly worse because it does not get anymore updates.

I have not been busy with card games until this month.

I have no immediate plans for Magarena 2012.

I deleted the Dreamwalkers wiki page.
The Dreamwalkers content is moved to the arena-card-game project page.

I am currently making some modifications to Dreamwalkers.
Next to some visual improvements, the mana system is altered.
Also the maximum number of minions is lowered to five.
Minion types are no longer linked to a specific color, only mechanics.
This should give some more variety.

ubeefx, I would like to download and try out your brainchild but I cannot find a link either here or in the Wiki.

Congratulations on the excellent Magarena!

On the project page there is now information how to obtain it.

New Java releases of Dreamwalkers and Magarena 2012 will now be made available in a bundle and not as separate downloads.

There is a release 1.0 available of the "Dreamwalkers bundle".

It contains the following releases :

• Dreamwalkers 2.1
• Magarena 2012 1.10
• Dreamwalkers 3.4 (Java version of Dreamwalkers Android)

Enjoy.

There has been for a time no downloadable release of Dreamwalkers on the forum, so I made a version 4.0.
It has an improved Dreamwalkers 2.x user interface with also some 3.x improvements.
I play it on a full HD screen and it works well on that screen size.
It does not get more random than this, random decks of random cards.

I recently found a fun article about MTG cards made by AI.

Release 4.1 is available for download.

• There is now a toggle button for full screen mode in the tool bar.
• There is support for a themes folder in the data folder for custom backgrounds (see help).
• There is a new start screen.
• Maximum life in a duel is now 50 instead of 40. Default is still 30.
• Combat is explained in help.
• The attack / damage / defense is shown on blockers for clarity.
• Control (Persuade) now also removes a minion from combat.
• Wield gives +2/+2 for each attached gear instead of +1/+1.
• A minion can no longer have combination of rush + defender or ambush + attacker.
• Inviolable can only appear on gear.
• The absorb trigger is removed.

Enjoy.
