This is one of my (Tim Rediehs) first independent projects. I love Magic: The Gathering, so I thought it would be fun to create an app that I could use to look up cards and keep track of life points during a game. It hasn't gotten much love in a few years.
I'm a student at UCLA who's primary interests are actually web technologies (particularly backend, APIs, and tools). I've been involved with a group on campus who's goal is to teach practical programming skills to other undergraduates as that goal closely aligns with my own.
The main motivation was to have a local store of Magic cards to search though. It should be noted that the images are not stored locally since that would require a bit too much space.
You can even see different sets that a card was in. Clicking on one will show the image for that set so you can see the different arts for cards like Llanowar Elves or Shivan Dragon.
The app also has a basic life counter. It supports 1-4 players.
You can pick turn order, colors, and names.
Additionally, the app will keep track of how damage was dealt throughout the game. A feature I had in mind for later was making a graph. Magic players tend to enjoy that kind of stuff. I know I do.
