Wagic, The Homebrew ?! ALPHA 0.0.2 [homebrew game]

[Gadget1]

UPDATED: August 27, 2008

Wololo has posted a new card game for the PSP. This game lets you play Magic The Gathering against the Computer. This is an early release so it's still buggy, but the game looks very promising.You will get a randomly generated deck to play agains the AI. When you win, you will get credits and be able to buy more cards in the shop. The game can handle background music but it is extremely buggy. Use it at your own risk!

Game modes:

1 Player vs AI
2 Players hotseat
Demo mode (AI vs AI)

Wagic, The Homebrew ?!

Customize & cheat

Although Wagic is still in the alpha stage, there are lots of ways to customize it, mainly because the resource files are not encrypted or even compressed. On top of my mind, here is a list of hints for things you can change without touching the source code:

* Avatars: Your avatar picture is in Res/player/. The AI’s avatar is in Res/ai/baka
* AI’s Decks: Although you can create your decks with the deck editor, you cannot edit the AI’s decks…or can you ? They are located in Res/ai/baka/deck*.txt… Please be aware that currently the AI is unable to use most cards, especially those that have targets, and it might end up with weird crashes.
* Background picture: Res/graphics/background.png
* Background music: check the download section, there is music provided with Wagic, unfortunately the mp3 player is very unstable, so it crashes the PSP quite often… but you can give it a try to see what kind of musics I have in mind for Wagic. Currently, I personally use the music plugin to listen to music while I play, I find it more enjoyable.
* More credits ? Check Res/player/data.dat
* More cards in your collection ? You bought thousands of boosters and still don’t have that Shivan Dragon you dream of ? Edit Res/player/collection.dat to add it.
* Add other magic sets ? It is currently possible to add around 30% of the cards in 10th edition to the game without changing the code… but the way to do that is still a secret known only to wizards hidden in a holy mountain, somewhere far away…

What should I do next ?

There are lots of things to improve in WTH, and all of them are important.

A few people tried this game already, and hopefully some of them will be coming back to this site to get news… So I’m asking the question : What would you like to see in priority in the next release ?

* New features ?
* Bug fixes ?
* Improved AI ?
* Improved user interface ?
* More Cards ?

this would be awesome with ad hoc or infrastructure play...

I would second that, ! I use to play magic as a kid & this with ad hoc would be bad ass...I will go to their forum & mention that! I hope they will look into it...

i am sure since it is such a new work in progress that they will add ad hoc and infrastructure to it when they get the bugs all worked out. Also would be nice if you could build your own deck out of any cards you want...like apprentice for the computer.
