New Pokemon TCG Simulator!

so um other than looking uglier than apprentice what exactly does this program accomplish?

As Redshark's creator, a few comments:

First of all, all feedback is good...positive or not.

Probably the most salient feature of Redshark compared to Appr is that it has a dual-deck solitaire mode. To be honest, I don't even know all the differences because I'm not an Appr expert. But one other smaller feature would likely be the fact that cards can be 'attached' to each other , possibly making them easier to manipulate as a group.

Yes, a DP version is in the works.

Regarding cross-platform development - Yes, there are many tools, but developing freeware is expensive enough when just considering the labor, not to mention the potential hardware expense of buying another box - like a Mac. Having worked with multiple cross-platform toolkits, I've yet to see an application of any depth build on multiple platforms (beyond just unix variants) without any code tweaks...it's just the way it goes most of the time. I'm not anti-Mac, but I can't ignore the numbers when there is significant cost involved.

Again, I appreciate all the comments and hope you give Redshark a try.

Thx

dual-deck solitaire mode is just...... superb.

But then again, i would like to see AI vs human features:smile:

I'll let him know about this thread though, just so he sees what you guys have to say too.

Thanks for letting him know that, and for posting the email link.

Thanks for coming on and posting!

Out of curiosity, what language did you write it in?

OFFLINE, and with decent pictures!

Or the longer answer: what I'm looking for is slightly different. I want something like the thing I linked to above, so I can customise it the way I want, and save searches, and add notes etc. etc.

For instance, add entries for the rare Japanese cards that everyone else seems to have forgotten above. You can't currently do that with pokepedia.

Even then, the current trend is for this type of thing is to have them offline (think Google Gears). Why? Because that is how they are most useful.

Problem with octgn... It's tooo Big... and building a deck in octgn is so difficult. And For the future.
When builing or improving anything, you must compare it to the "Industry Standard"
apprentice is the standard. so
You compare everything in red shark to apprentice.
Apprentice's appeal after all this time is.

ITS SO EASY!!!
building a deck, playing a game, loading patches all of the above are so easy to do with the apprentice program. and its such a compact and small program you can play apprentice, use your yahoo IM, check your ******* inbox and listen to music all at the same time
