Twilight Struggle web helper (year 2013)
The Twilight struggle game itself is ranked first in world wide ranking http://boardgamegeek.com/browse/boardgame/page/1?sort=rank This lightweight app is going to help you in playing the game.
Play
Current version is hosted at http://kmorcinek.github.io/TS-web-cards-helper/src/KrzysztofMorcinek.TSCardsHelper.Web/
Main reason for developing this app
- there are 110 cards in game, if you see which cards have already been played, you are in better position
- many cards target specific countries. So it will be nice to reverse it and to have a fast overview of all possibble cards targeting my country
- after coming back to the game after month you forgot a lot. It helps to find out again, what are the cards
Where it can be used?
I usually play online using vassal engine.
Technologies used
- JavaScript
- KnockoutJS
- TypeScript (you need Web Essentails 2012 to generate .js when saving .ts files)
- C# (only for offline data parsing from other pages and converting to JSON)
- (probably will evolve towards Single Page Application).

Example of Iran. Cards with:
- red border are "Sure to be in somebody's hand now"
- no border are in the deck
- blue border are "Will come soon, but not in the deck yet" - if you are in early war this means cards after reshaftle and Mid War cards, in Mid Game this means cards after second reshaffle and Late War.

All countries and cards are added. Connected cards are displayed on the map (not next to map like before), saves space.
