Automatic image generation for dream cards

April 12, 2009

I have added the option, when creating Dream Cards, to generate the corresponding image for the card with the provided data. It effectively generates a “card scan” of the virtual cards.

I have made it initially only for Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh!, as it takes some time and effort to create the templates for each card type and card elements. I will try and add it for more games if people request it a lot.

CCG-style business cards

March 25, 2009

I have implemented a little fun application that allows users to design and print a “business card” with their data in the form of a collectible card. The user customizes the card by choosing their favorite game, the type of card and providing an optional image, and the system builds and displays the card image.

The card displays the following information about the user:

  • Their user name,
  • the URL of their public web page,
  • the number of references they currently have
  • the number of years they have been registered on the site
  • the exact date they registered
  • any image they want to upload and include in the card

Here are a couple of examples:

New games: Blue Dragon RPCG and Dragonball CCG

February 4, 2009

I have added two new games, Blue Dragon Role Playing Card Game and Dragonball CCG. All the features are available immediately for both games: trading, buying and selling, keeping track of your collection, trader binders and collector binders, card reviews, dream cards, deck building, forums, and even online play!
This has been possible thanks to user chibionineko, who gathered all the data for the existing cards and sent also the card scans. He has also volunteered to be our Herald for those new games.
