Hello! I apologize in advance if something I do or the way I do something is incorrect for the forum, I just recently joined. That being said, here's an overview of this project: Central concepts:
Each person can have a collection of cards: All data for each card is stored in a single string, such as attack/defense, name, icon, etc. The more compact this is, the better.
Players can trade or battle each other via connecting USB, calculator to calculator, with no middle device. The idea of the whole thing is to be accessible for everyone with a supported device.
A web app will be available to generate your own cards, with some limitations to keep things balanced.
The biggest problem I'm having is simply getting the two calculators to talk to each other. I know about the USBDRVCE library and its child libraries, but I feel like I'm way over my head with them.
I bring this project to the great minds here because while I enjoy programming and especially love the C language, I'm really bad at it. I'd love to have any help or guidance, and I'm open to suggestions. I'm especially struggling with the calculator to calculator communication. I understand pretty much nothing about the USB protocol, so anything I even managed to get to compile would either freeze or crash the calculator. Thank you to anyone and everyone that wants to help with this passion project of mine! I've had this idea for a few years now and have never managed to bring anything to fruition.
