Image server for the space dilemma game

The easy way first: turn on peer-to-peer sharing and the app fetches this game’s images from other players, verified against its catalog. An image server is for a collection of your own.

The setting

Settings → the game’s section → Image server, or the general Image server with the game’s images under <server>/stccg/.

Layout: a folder per set

A card’s image is <server>/<set>/<card>.jpg, and the back is <server>/back.jpg:

https://example.org/broccolideck/stccg/premiere/zibalian_transport.jpg
https://example.org/broccolideck/stccg/pr/i_k_s_k_vort.jpg
https://example.org/broccolideck/stccg/back.jpg

Set folder	Set	Cards
pr	the premiere set, remastered	363
premiere	the premiere set, original	363
au	the alternate-universe expansion	121
i2pg	the two-player introductory game	30

<card> is the card’s title in lowercase, with every run of characters other than letters and digits turned into one underscore and the ends trimmed, so I.K.S. K'Vort is i_k_s_k_vort. A card is shown in the printing the deck names, else its first printing, else the remastered premiere.

The catalogued images are 744 × 1040 JPEGs; any size works, as does PNG or WebP whatever the extension.

Making the files

The app’s repository has scripts/stccg/images.py, which cuts the premiere sets from the archived print sheets and rescales the other sets’ scans into this layout; back.jpg is supplied by hand. The rights to the scans are the publisher’s; the script only cuts.

The catalog

878 images: the four sets and the back.
