Motivation

Geekboy1011 asked for this fun card game on his calculator and I wanted to work on something fun.

Building Asset Files

Syntax: BUILDER\build.bat <IN_FILE_PATH> <OUT_FILE_BASE_NAME>
Example: BUILDER\build.bat BUILDER\src\ff8pack FF8PACK Input folder must contain all image files and a JSON file formatted like the examples provided.

Building Pack Viewer / Game Player

Download and install the ZDS-based CE C Software Development Kit (v7.5) https://github.com/CE-Programming/toolchain/releases/tag/v7.5 and install it. idk how to modify to make it work on v8.x, will add instructions later if needed.
Not sure if necessary but you may need to use convpng on the CLIENT\src\gfx folder to build all the images. To do that, navigate to that folder, open the command prompt, type convpng, then push enter.
Open the command prompt and navigate to where the makefile is. Type make, push enter, and watch it go.
If it all worked, TRICARDS.8xp will be in the CLIENT\bin folder.

License and Copyright

TODO

I'll do the proper writeup later. The most of the images are not mine. The ones that obviously came from Final Fantasy 8 is owned by the guys who own that game. The stuff that isn't mine isn't mine. The stuff that is mine is mine.

For the stuff that's mine, I'll stick in the BSD 2-clause license someplace and call it good.
