Wait a second, there are expansions for the WCCG. Where???
I mean, I just heard of the starting set and that it is definitely impossible to get one of those in Austria, but an expansion???
 
No, we're talking about Magic. There are no Homarids in the WC:CCG.

An expansion was planned, though, with gray 'colony' cards...
 
Nothing much was done.. Chris scanned a lot of the cards and they were used for CotD (Card of the Day) back at the end of 1998/beginning of 1999. Then Jetlag offered to do programming to make the game but then he disappeared and nothing more happened. I believe he was gonna use Visual C++ rather than Java though.
 
Java isnt that hard to code...it's not like it's Cold Fussion or something ::rolls eyes:: ...I'm sure we can find someone to make the correct Java script for a game...Heck, I have java to turn a webpage into a Windows 98 desktop...
 
I think there was an intro movie, then a bigger better version of the same intro movie with a couple more things in it.

Er, sorry, the term "JavaScript" sliped out. I meant Java unto it's self...
 
Your point is well seen.

I resciend my arguement, good sir.

Javascript is definitely not impossible. I did some stuff with script that would probably have you wondering. Just 2 main problems:

* Cheating.

* Either need a CGI server or only have it PBEM (play per e-mail).

Sides that it is only quite some work. Especially if you want a rule check and even worse of you want a 1 player mode with an AI.

Personally I'd go for JAVA (not C++). It is probably the language to do it fastest given all the APIs. I don't even remotely have the time to do it at the moment however.
And to be quite honest I don't think somebody will do it freeware at all.

Not talking about the need of at least 1 dedicated server if you want to do this for real...
