Wagic, the Homebrew is a C++ game engine that allows to play card games against an AI. It is highly customizable and allows the player to tweak the rules, create their own cards, their own themes, etc.

Features

Gameplay, menus, deck building, settings.
Save and load.
Front touch screen, analog stick, all face buttons and triggers.
Boots and runs at default Vita clocks. No overclock.

Installation

Ensure your Vita has Custom Firmware with libshacccg.suprx set up (see vitaGL documentation if not already configured).

Copy wagic.vpk to your Vita over FTP or USB.

Open VitaShell and press Cross on the VPK to install.

The release VPK ships without card images, as Wizards of the Coast art cannot be redistributed. To play with card art, there are two options:

Build the full VPK locally, see BUILD_VITA.md in the repository.
Drop card art files at ux0:data/Wagic/sets/ on your Vita. The engine finds it there before checking the bundled archive, and it survives future updates.

Save data is stored at ux0:data/Wagic/. To wipe progress, delete that folder in VitaShell.

Changelog

v0.1.1

Fixed: Story mode "tap to collect mana" crash — the first-campaign tutorial duels override the player avatar in their rules file; Wagic was loading the avatar texture during rules parsing on a placeholder Player whose GameObserver is intentionally null, causing a data abort. This has been guarded against.
Fixed: Redundant music loading — GameApp::playMusic was calling Mix_LoadMUS twice per track. Replaced with a lightweight path-resolution check so each track is loaded exactly once.

v0.1.0a

Initial public release — native PS Vita port of Wagic.
Runs at 960×544 with vitaGL and SDL2.
Gameplay, menus, deck building, and settings functional.
Save and load functional.
Front touch screen, analog stick, all face buttons and triggers supported.
Boots and runs at default Vita clocks.

-=== Card Art ===
 The release VPK ships without card images, as Wizards of the Coast art cannot be redistributed. To play with card art, there are two options:
+* Build the full VPK locally, see <code>BUILD_VITA.md</code> in the repository.
+* Drop card art files at <code>ux0:data/Wagic/sets/</code> on your Vita. The engine finds it there before checking the bundled archive, and it survives future updates.
-* Build the full VPK locally — see <code>BUILD_VITA.md</code> in the repository.
-* Drop card art files at <code>ux0:data/Wagic/sets/&lt;SETCODE&gt;/&lt;id&gt;.jpg</code> on your Vita. The engine searches that location before falling back to the bundled <code>core.zip</code>, and files placed there will persist through future VPK updates.
-=== Save Data ===
 Save data is stored at <code>ux0:data/Wagic/</code>. To wipe progress, delete that folder in VitaShell.
