Title: The Lexicon
Post by: awillia6 on July 15, 2018, 04:29:55 PM
Hey everyone,

I've been working on a new website for looking up Redemption cards. I've rolled out the initial version today. I still have a lot more work to do, but I figured you guys would like to check it out and give me some feedback.  You can see it by going to www.saraphgames.com/lexicon (http://www.saraphgames.com/lexicon).

I'm planning on working on the following enhancements next:


Let me know what you think! I hope adding the more advanced filters will help making new decks more fun in the future.

I would like to add, after clicking on the image of a searched card, the Lexicon displays a text box of the ORCID data (the "Play As" text will eventually become its own tab to save on space.)

It would be cool if you could search by modifiers too, like "Musician, Egyptian, etc." as well as search by rarity by typing it in.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm hoping to start adding more advanced filters soon. I've been working on getting the Fall of Man into the database, and all the cards should be in there. Let me if you see any mistakes. I have a feeling I'll still need to clean up some of the data, and I'm still missing the artist information.

Awesome, I've used this quite a bit now and can't wait for further advancements!  I added a link to my website under the links section to it as well.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I just rolled out an update that allows you to now search by type and special ability as well. For example, if I select special ability and search for "negate good enhancements", it will show me 35 cards that contain these three words. Everything is currently using and operators, so checking multiple boxes will probably not be as useful until I work our more advanced searching features.

I will work on adding parameters that will allow searching by modifiers, rarity, and set next since they have been directly requested. After this I'm planning on working on adding filtering for the different brigade colors.

Please let me know if you get unexpected results. Let me know what you searched for exactly, and was missing or appeared that you didn't expect. This will help me determine if it's an issue with the code, or if there is simply a mistake in the database. Also, if you do not see the newest changes right away, you may need to clear your browsers cache before they appear.

Hey guys,

I finally got the latest Prophecy of Christ cards and latest promos added to the site. I had been pretty busy, but I figured I should get everything updated since I heard people were using the tool during Nationals last week. I'm glad it's been a useful tool for some people. I'm going to try and get some new stuff rolling on the site in the next couple months. Feel free to leave a reply if you see any errors with any of the cards on the site.

One thing I checked out if you put like the SB Moses form nats on there and didn’t find it. Do you have a limited amount on there right now?

Currently, we have been "Creative" on how we pull data, but at NATs I got Gabe and my cousin on the phone to discuss the matter. Hopefully, moving forward we will have a better system to add cards.

Currently, we are behind on the new set and new promos.
