Spellsource

Open-source card game engine. Cards are JSON files processed by a Java game engine.

Key Paths

Collectible cards: spellsource-cards-git/src/main/resources/cards/collectible/{heroClass}/custom/
Tokens: spellsource-cards-git/src/main/resources/cards/uncollectible/{heroClass}/custom/
Spell classes: spellsource-game/src/main/java/net/demilich/metastone/game/spells/
Card model: spellsource-game/src/main/java/net/demilich/metastone/game/cards/desc/CardDesc.java
Tests: spellsource-cards-git/src/test/java/com/hiddenswitch/spellsource/tests/cards/

Never rename or delete card files. To remove a card set "collectible": false.
Always include "set": "CUSTOM" and "fileFormatVersion": 1.
Card ID = filename without .json. Do not change after release.
Deathrattle is a direct SpellDesc. Wrong: "deathrattle": {"spell": {...}}. Right: "deathrattle": {"class": "...", ...}.
Battlecry requires both the battlecry field and "BATTLECRY": true in attributes.
File names: {type}_{name}.json, all lowercase with underscores.

Each class is a directory under cards/collectible/. Discover them with:

ls spellsource-cards-git/src/main/resources/cards/collectible/

Each directory has a class_{color}.json file defining the class. Use "heroClass": "ANY" for neutral cards.
