Show HN: TeXnicard
1 point by zzo38computer on May 3, 2020 | hide | past | favorite
TeXnicard is a program to make card databases, querying, collaboration, and rendering, for such card games as Magic: the Gathering. It is an alternative to Magic Set Editor. TeXnicard is public domain, but depends on Ghostscript, so you must follow the terms of AGPL3 if you distribute the compiled software or if you make it available to operate over a network (unless you acquire a commercial license from Artifex).

Perhaps you might be interested to look at it if you are interested in such thing as designing custom cards for these kind of card games, and/or if you are designing your own card game(s).

While it is far from complete, many features have already been implemented, and there are many features which can be tried. It is enough to start making your own card set, or your own major template for your own card game design. You can even make minor templates, although paragraph formatting is not yet implemented. There are also many other features implemented already, although some are incomplete.

There is a Fossil repository at: http://zzo38computer.org/fossil/texnicard.ui

Please join the NNTP if you are interested in it and want to discuss it. (If you prefer, you can also post comments here, although the NNTP is the preferred way to make discussions.)

You can also try to contribute if you like to, whether bug reports, complaints, questions, documentation improvements, code improvements, etc.
