Software

This page is for programs that I’ve written and want to share. So far there’s only one, but I&rsquo'm working on a handful of projects that I plan to post here once I get them adequately tested and documents for public consumption. Everything here is open source.

Land Card Calculator

This is a program for applying a formula that I regularly use in building Magic decks. It is based on the simple principle that the colors of mana produced by the land cards in a deck should be proportional to the colors required by the spell cards, which is complicated by the fact that both lands and spells can belong to more than one color.

It’s currently just a simple command-line app, but it runs interactively in a fairly user-friendly way. Although the task would be better suited to a scripting language, it’s written in C++ for easy portability. There is also a beta-quality non-interactive mode. (Send suggestions!) I’m also hoping to put together a simple Java GUI.
