Helper code for Magic The Gathering: Arena
You will need a computer that can run Magic The Gathering: Arena, and set it up so it exports logs.
To do so, open the game, go to Settings > View Account > Enable Logs, then restart the game and exit.
These programs work by parsing the resource files inside your installation of MTG: Arena, as well as the game logs. If those things are not in the standard locations, you will need to specify those to the programs via command-line flags.
Right now the assistant only has two binaries: a collection exporter, and a deck helper.
Collection Exporter is a program that will parse your MTG:A collection and print it in the MTG:A format. To run it, just do:
$ go run collectionexporter/main.go
Given a decklist in the MTG:A format, deck helper will parse your MTG:A collection and will tell you which cards are missing from the decks (cards that you need to craft). Currently it only supports the standard rotation, but that can be easily changed from the code.
To run it:
$ go run deckhelper.go -deck=<path-to-your-deck>
There's a carddb library that parses the resource files and creates a database of magic cards. You can
use it to make queries based on card names, card ids, or just iterate over it and run the code that you
want.
There's also a collectionfinder library that parses the game logs and gets your card collection.
