Hearthstone card game engine library

About

Hearthshroud is one of two things:

• A Hearthstone game engine library.
• A simple Hearthstone executable with a console UI.

---

Library

Library uses a monadic API which drives the game engine for any HearthMonad:

-- MonadPrompt @ https://hackage.haskell.org/package/MonadPrompt
type HearthMonad m = MonadPrompt HearthPrompt m
Hearth.Engine.runHearth :: (HearthMonad m) => Pair PlayerData -> m GameResult

Design Choices

• Model cards (and abilities, effects, etc.) as a pure data AST. This is the card DSL.
• Model enforces game constraints at the type level.

Design Implications

• Engine interprets the cards. (As opposed to the cards directly manipulating the environment.)
• AI directly interprets the same cards as well.

---

Executable

Sample game client is Hearth.Client.Console and can be seen in action by:

Hearth.Client.Console.main :: IO ()

Installation

Steps

• Clone repository
• Use cabal tool to build/install

For those unfamiliar with cabal, search Google for "haskell cabal how to use" (or whatever).

Contact Me

• Probably the best way to ask me a question or tell me a comment is to just create an issue directly for the project (even if it is not a real issue).
• I am sometimes on #hearthsim IRC.
