🃏 Card

The card is the core of Rune Rising's gameplay. Besides the basic strength and health points, a card consists of card actions which are can be defined by the user on creation. Card actions define the abilities of the card.

To compose a card, the user selects one or more triggers and then attaches the card actions. We call this a card flow.

Types​

At the moment there are just two types.

  • Land: Provides mana to be used to play cards.
  • Creature: Creatures are can fight and be played when the player has enough mana.

Properties​

Besides the types and card flows, a card is defined by other properties too.

See the types in the code.

These are:

interface CardBaseData {
	id: string;
	/** The name/title of the card */
	name: string;
	/** The URL of the image for the card */
	image: string;
	/** An optional short description for the card. */
	description?: string;
	/** How much the card costs in order to be allowed to be played. Empty array means free. */
	cost: ManaCost[];
	/** User ID of the user who created the card */
	user: string;
	/** whether the card is an official card of the game. */
	is_official?: boolean;
}

Land/creature cards:

/** Card definition for type "land" */
export interface CardLandShape extends CardBaseData {
	type: 'land';
}

/** Card definition for type "creature" */
export interface CardCreatureShape extends CardBaseData {
	type: 'creature';
	damage: number;
	health: number;
	flows?: CardACtionFlowItems[][];
}
