Hi All,
Work/life prevented me from getting this out as soon as I would like, but I'm happy to finally introduce Card Game Simulator (CGS) for Arcmage!
You can get the latest version from https://www.cardgamesimulator.com/
Then use this CGS AutoUpdate URL: https://arcmage.finoldigital.com/
I also made a video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFaHJ2Q ... e=youtu.be
I'm hoping this can be a useful tool, and I welcome any feedback!
Thanks,
David

Re: Introducing Card Game Simulator for Arcmage
Hi David,
Just watched the video. Great stuff It's more or less the same functionality we have in our browser based version.
How do you handle player 2 player communication?
Are you using the aminduna api directly to search for the cards?
Kind regards,
Nico

Re: Introducing Card Game Simulator for Arcmage
Thanks for checking it out!
I built the app using Unity, so I'm using it's built-in network functionality (they call it UNet) for LAN play. It's being deprecated in the future, so I'm actually looking into other options for the networking in the future.
Currently, when the user first downloads Arcmage or when they open the app, it'll pull all the card info (if possible) from the API. This way, even if they don't have an internet connection when using the app, it'll still work.
Also, I want to reduce how often the API is called, so that instead of downloading all the cards when the app is opened, it would only need to get the card info maybe once a month.
