An implementaion of a trading card game.

JPortal simulates a trading card game. Two player games are supported. There can be either 1 or 2 computer players and at the moment a maximum of one human player.

The game is extensible to support new cards via scripting functionality.

The AI is also extensible by scripting.

The idea of the game is based on the old Magic the Gathering (TM) starter packages: Portal.

Welcome to the fascinating world of JPortal. You and your opponent are mighty wizards and you take out a duel over the rulership over a magic dimension. As a magician your draw your energies from lands, conjure creatures for the battle and cast spells which may have effects on the game.

Each player uses his own deck, which represents his magic abilities. Following is a short summary of a typical JPortal game:

first you draw from your deck seven cards. These cards represent different lands, creatures or sorceries.
in every turn you can bring one land into the game. Lands provide you with the energy you need to play out creatures or sorceries
creatures that you summon can either be used as attackers or as blockers. Each turn your creatures may attack your opponent and deliver damage. Or your creatures might be used to block off an attack of your opponent.
you will also need lands to cast sorceries. Sorceries are cards with different effects on the game, which may for example help you or do damage to your opponent.
while playing you will collect more and more lands. This provides you with more energy to summon more powerful creatures or cast more powerful sorceries. But your opponent certainly also gets stronger over the time.
if your are the first to reduce your opponents life points from 20 to zero, your will be the champion of your duel

Official cards AND art? WotC or whoever owns them now will be on to you soon enough. Others have already been sued or threatened with a lawsuit for infringement. For example Wagic the Gathering, which only has official art as a fan add-on no longer packaged with the game.

There is NO material of WotC provided with the program! Perhaps you should look at the program befor posting comments like that. The program loads data (Pictures and Spoiler text) from "Gatherer" - a WotC database. These are the official resources, which anyone with access to the interent can view and download and as such is obviously encoureged by WoTC.

The given exception provides no hint to where such error occurred - apart from that it is a general java - exception. I can not help you with that. It runs under linux, windows and mac. This is testified. As much as I would like to help you - I can´t without further information. You can use the contact function on the JPortal homepage or use source forges forum, or can use source Forge mantis to post a bug - but please with morge information.
