An MTG booster pack generator for Tabletop Simulator.
DraftGen lets you generate booster packs for MTG. The default options are set to simulate the rules and drop rates of regular booster packs. The default card set to generate packs from is the latest core set. These options can be changed by passing arguments through the command line. All arguments are listed in the help section dg --help. DraftGen will print the paths where the resulting json files are written depending upon your platform.
Lastly copy the json files to your Saved Objects folder for Tabletop Simulator and you can access them in the game.
There is also an argument get-card which lets you search for a single card. This
can be used to retrieve helper cards such as a double-faced substitute card.
If you want to use the development environment includeded in this repository you will need to install nix and enable experimental features by running:
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.nixFlakesmkdir ~/.config/nix && echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
Run nix develop to enter the development environment.
This adds everything listed in the flake.nix files devShell attribute to your path. It is also possible to automatically hook into this environment using direnv see instructions on how to set this up here.
On the first run you will be prompted to run cabal update.
After that you can run the project with cabal run. To pass command line arguments to cabal you run cabal run <artifact> -- <args go here>.
To build the project using cabal you can run
cabal build [...opts]
