I'm down to make it fully hackable. The trick would be an easy interface for writing to them. They don't have batteries, so you need to send all the power to them along with information.

The trick then, would be making an easy way to write images to them. Maybe a phone attachment...

I hadn't thought of a Scrabble style card holder, good idea. Ah yeah, I think the game design community mostly uses tabletop simulator and one other such program for testing out ideas. Being able to deploy to both is a good idea.

oh dang! I'd totally sell the cards, for less than that even. Sign up for the mailing list on wyldcard.io and if you shoot me an email I'll totally sell you cards, and even a base station (though those are pricier) jonah@wyldcard.

Hadn't seen that one! Will check it out.

Yeah, I know. I've been trying to design it in a way to push costs down the whole time, but it's still a far cry from paper. My idea was to target $80 for a "starter kit", making it the equivalent purchase of a video gam

Pretty much any image you want, but it's only 4-color greyscale and pretty low resolution. I'd have to make a nicer UX than the current "scp the images onto the raspberry pi" setup I have now.

You may be right, a few other commenters said something similar.

Ahh... I used Stable Diffusion!

I'll have to check out Duel Monsters, maybe can get some more inspiration. Have you ever seen Angelic Layer?

I wish it were pogo pins, but they're so expensive. I'm using spring fingers and they're surprisingly reliably and durable (so far). I'll look into using a demultiplexer, because maybe then I could afford the pogo pins.

Ah yeah, the current cards do not have batteries.

by jonahss 4y ago
Ah! Finally, I have a word for it!
104.
by jonahss 4y ago
Whoah, interesting. I might noodle on that idea a bit.

by jonahss 4y ago
A few people have told me I should play that game. Guess I know what I'm doing for the rest of the week :D

Thanks! And thanks for the tip! I may reach out to continue the conversation and shoot ideas back and forth if that's okay :)
107.
by jonahss 4y ago
yeah!
108.
by jonahss 4y ago
I might do that! By the way, I've been following your posts here for years! I'll trade you cards for candy!

Ooh hey, yes this could work..... I think I'd need funding for that though, can't bootstrap a platform without that first blockbuster game.

by jonahss 4y ago
sure

by jonahss 4y ago
Oh cool, good idea!
112.
by jonahss 4y ago
Oh hey, that'd totally work. I wouldn't even need a timer, I could detect when a card is placed back onto that spot. So in a way, you could "leave" traps or powerups on spots on the base, and your character activates the

Thanks, I'll check that one out too. Timers are totally doable.

Love to! Email me? jonah@wyldcard.io

Thanks, I've got a patent attorney in the family; I'll see if I can get a discount ;)

Really? Any specific funds you think I should talk to? Can intro me to anyone? email me: jonah@wyldcard.io I was thinking, very possibly, if I found some angel investors who also love boardgames.....

And baseball cards predate that

by jonahss 4y ago
That't a neat idea. I was thinking of genetic algorithms for 'breeding' cards, and maybe AI image synthesis for the pictures? I thought it'd be so cool if all the cards from one town look one way, and they're differ

So cool! I love it!

I've got the starter set sitting at home :D Haven't played it yet, but wanted to check it out.
