hi, great job! But, how to know who's oinline in the game?

Hi,
To see who is connected, type ?who. You will get notified if someone enters. Type ? for help.
The game is not based on any engine, it is entirely custom.

I am so, so so excited for this.
Two questions:  can you play against bots for practice when there's noone on and can we expect more cards added in future?

That's a bit of a shame, but I look forward to giving it a go all the same.  I've wanted to play yugioh for many years now.

Dang, they beat me to the punch. I have a quick question, though.

300 cards sounds like probably the very first set of Yugioh that was ever introduced, it sounds like a very small amount of cards (to put this in comparison, the game boy advance game Eternal Duelist Soul, released the same year in the US as the TCG, has about 800; there are several thousand cards now).

I don't mind helping out with the project, I'm a casual yugioh fan but I can help implement a ton of the cards if they're still working on the project. I can also make sure the names are right. What are you programming it in? I wanted to make a yugioh simulator a while back but I lazed out and went back to braillemon, but I'd love to help out with this project.

Hi,
I think the original developer wanted to implement cards across multiple decks. For example, Bean Soldier is not present in the starter decks, but it is available in this game.
Sadly, the available cards compared to the more than 5000 officially available cards are quite miniscule.
The game was created in c++.
I would be happy to work on a Yugioh game as well, I'm toying with the idea of a Lua-based game server for years now, including a custom client.
Edit:
@Dark: The game includes a very basic manual, which tries to explain the rules.
The possibility of a tutorial is certainly there, however I am not sure how much I would have to modify/rewrite. My situation is something like a stack of marbles. Since the rules are hardcoded, if I remove a marble from the centre, the whole stack might topple over.

Wow, I'm really loving this so far. It'sa shame that there aren't more cards, but it's much better than nothing!
Thanks for hosting this!

That would definitely be cool! I'd also be glad to help add more cards to the game, ifthat's something you're open to doing.

gunners dis reguard my last reply
I was so hype to play this game I did some research on muds, figured it out and downloaded the vip mud client. I have set up a deck but have yet to try it out so im online if anyone wants to give it a go

Hi,
Yes, type matters a lot. Monster cards have normal and effect types, for example.
Keep your deck at the minimum of 40 cards. Each card decreases the chance of drawing a particular card you want. Believe me, sometimes one card at the right moment can decide the fate of the whole duel.
Make sure you have a good balance of monsters (possibly with a flip effect), spells and trap cards. You almost always want one or more monsters on the field.
The rest is up to you.

I just like to say again how freaking awesome it is to be able to play this game. It makes me suuuuuuuper happy.

Did you implement the side deck, extra and banished zones?

Also I'd really like to personally talk with the developer to help them get this as good as it can be. I really don't mind helping adding new cards and stuff so people can play them. Hell we can sort them by format so we can play a variety of formats, but I'm getting a bit ahead of myself.
