Welcome to the Steel Plains TCG wiki!

Steel Plains is part Deck Building Collectable Card Game, part strategy board game where players design and vote for up to X new cards to be cycled into the game every month. Up to Y cards can be cycled out of the game each month.

SPTCG is a for-fun hacking project for the Cape Town Clojure User Group. You can find us on Twitter as well on @clj_ug_ct

Inspiration for the actual gameplay mechanics are drawn heavily from Dvorak, Magic: The Gathering, Mojang's Scrolls and Blizzards' Hearthstone.

Technologies we're using

• Clojure and ClojureScript - in case that wasn't already clear
• Datomic - Data storage
• Http-Kit - Web Request handling
• Compojure - Web request url routing
• core.async - Concurrency stuff, because we can :)
• Sente - Clj/cljs client/server messaging abstraction on top of Http-Kit
• Om - UI state management, on top of facebook's React
• RabbitMQ for a message queue once we actually have server processes to coordinate.

Things we need to build

• The core game loop
• A data model for the game
• Cards!
• A barebones UI
• A storage schema
• And plenty more!
