Modern Yu-Gi-Oh! Draft

License (MIT)

A small web app simulating a Hearthstone-style draft using the modern Yu-Gi-Oh! card pool. This is a personal project to solidify and improve on my skills from university as well as boost my resume/portfolio!

Building

Until this is deployed, here are the dev build steps:

1. Install Rust if you don't have it
2. Clone/download the repo through your preferred method
3. Open a terminal and go to into the backend folder with it
4. cargo add any dependencies you do not have
5. Ensure you don't have any other programs listening on port localhost:8000
6. cargo run the backend!
7. Leave that terminal running in the background and open a new terminal
8. Use the new terminal to go into the frontend folder
9. cargo add any missing dependencies and install Trunk
10. Ensure you don't have any other programs listening on localhost:8080
11. trunk serve the frontend! (use --open to automatically open the site in your browser)

Example Deck Stats

For whenever I get to them:

• Main Deck Monster/Spell/Trap ratio
• Main Deck Monster Attribute ratio
• Main Deck Monster subtype ratio (Tuner/Spirit/etc)
• Extra Deck Monster ratio
• Extra Deck Level/Rank ratio (Synchros/XYZ/Links only)
• Link Monsters w/ bottom markers (warn if >1 Links in deck but 0 w/ bottom markers)
• Highest/lowest ATK/DEF values (among applicable cards)
• Spell/Trap subtype ratio

Draft Balancing Rules

For whenever I get to them:

• All Main Deck monsters are level 4 or lower.
• All monsters are treated as every type.
• All fusion-summoning effects can summon any Fusion Monster, provided all the materials are correct.
• Ritual and Pendulum Monsters are not included due to their inherent need for extremely high levels of synergy that are practically impossible in draft modes.
• The draft alternates between Main Deck and Extra Deck cards. You'll pick 8 Main Deck cards followed by 3 Extra Deck cards, repeated 5 times.
