this is getting a lot of hate here, surprisingly: people saying this is antisocial or you should just go to the store and buy a deck of cards, etc...

about 10 years ago my wife and I wanted to make a card game something like a twist on cards against humanity or madlibs, that could be played in person or remotely. I built a back-end and protocol for organizing and conveying cards and such, and she got all the content put into the backend, and my buddy started on a mobile front end. my vision was to build it very abstractly, like a card game framework, so it could be any card game (and users could even make their own games). one mode was to use a tablet as the deck on the table and then everyone can hold their hand on their phones.

unfortunately, life got in the way, priorities changed, and we never finished it.

I had this idea that we could sell/license packs of card content by actual physical card game publishers... phase 10, uno, CAH, etc...

don't let the jerks here get you down, I for one appreciate this project (in spirit, haven't looked at the code) and might try to use it to finish our game one day.

thank you for sharing!



It isn't getting any "hate" at all unless some comments have been deleted that I cannot see.

It has some very mild conceptual criticism from two top level comments.
