TCG-AR 1.0.0 - first release, accompanying the paper (arXiv:2607.02090).

Easy installation (Windows)

Download TCG-AR-Setup-1.0.0.exe below and double-click it - no Python,
no conda, no command line. The wizard detects your NVIDIA GPU generation,
asks for a free Pokemon TCG API key, and
downloads everything with live progress (3-8 GB; the card database can take
1-3 hours and resumes if interrupted).

If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click
More info -> Run anyway (the installer is not code-signed).

Requirements: Windows 10/11, NVIDIA GPU (RTX 20-series or newer), internet.

Developers: see the manual installation.

the highlights of this release:

v1.0.0 (2026-07-14) - First public release of the one-click Windows installer.

  • Self-contained wizard: no Python/conda/command line; per-user, no admin.
  • Automatic NVIDIA GPU detection (RTX 50 -> CUDA 13.2 / Python 3.14;
    RTX 20/30/40 -> CUDA 11.8 / Python 3.11), both on the same OpenMMLab 2.x path.
  • Choose components (AI models, card database + sprites, precomputed embeddings)
    and enter the Pokemon TCG API key in-wizard.
  • Downloads run inside the installer window with live progress bars, a log view,
    and Retry on error; every step is resumable.
  • Start-Menu entries: launch TCG-AR, Update card database, Setup (repair).
  • Re-run for fast repair/resume or to update the card database; in-place upgrades
    keep your data.
