The latest version of the program is: 1.8.1 (july the 9th 2003) Beta versions of the engine are uploaded in the yahoo thothcge forum |
The Thoth engine is a PbWEB card tool: you can play by email or use the engine as a "virtual tabletop" where two partecipants over the Net will use some custom decks. Another good use of Thoth is to test you card game ideas: you can use directly the images you will use on paper to verify the play mechanics. This is how I personally use it most of the time. |

Description | The project is on a continous state
of development but it offers a good set of functions to manage the most
common card games. All the rules are specified by the player in the Game Rule File on a plain (text) format. Game Rule Files have an extension of .game. When you execute the Thoth engine you can start a new email or direct play game or continue a previously saved game. The core functions of the engine are the following: Reshuffle the decks. Draw cards. Play a card Turn a card face down/up (flip) Rotate a card Flip a card on his back Discard a card: (the discard pile can be examined) Eliminate a card from the game Add numeric and graphical markers to the game Stick markers to the cards.
