Details
This game is a set of standalone applications for hosting and playing Horrible People Games' fanmade cardgame called Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder - a card game for bronies - through the Internet. The set also includes a card editor for making custom cards for both personal use and for the standalone game.
This project was originally intended to be used between friends, as the Tabletop Simulator and Vassal versions of the card game were a bit clunky and frustrating for us to use. After it was brought to the attention of the original creators of the card game, they gave my application praise and posted about it on their blog. From there its popularity and demand grew outside of my circle of friends and into the MLP fandom.
This project was a huge challenge. I had to design an entire GUI API from scratch, as Pygame (an SDL wrapper for Python) doesn't come with any. I have been called insane for having coded my own GUI API. This was also my first time using sockets and threads.
As time went on, my interest in this project faded. The project is now abandon-ware.
