Most definitely... not. Well, since Harvest Golem is not yet implemented, the subtle nuances are beyond the scope anyways. It's something I will have to go through to get it right in due course. Having said that, the focus (of my cur

I'm a sucker for AI and Hearthstone too :) I'd love any contribution and collaboration!

HearthSim is designed purely as a AI vs AI game simulation tool. It's not a "playable" Hearthstone clone. In the examples on my blog, I usually run 40,000 simulated games per data point, and each set of 40,000 games usually

Simulation speed is of primary concern here (though javascript isn't too shabby)! I actually have a C++ version too, but I thought Java might be more accessible to more people...

That might be true. The advantage that The Coin gives you is highly dependent on the deck that you have. In that particular deck that I used in the simulations, the advantage is rather large. For a deck consisting of stronger (higher man

Yep, I'm up to about 100 cards at this time, working on the basic cards first. Besides the cards, there needs to be more work on the AI modeling... currently, it won't handle any card with elements of randomness to it. I think I
