Flavor

Simple app that returns a card title and any flavor text from a random card from either Magic: The Gathering, Arkham Horror TCG or Netrunner.

This project was created with much assistance from Gitlab Duo and further enhanced with help from Qwen.

Features

• Fetches random card information from three different card game APIs:
  • Magic: The Gathering (via Scryfall API)
  • Arkham Horror TCG (via ArkhamDB API)
  • Netrunner (via NetrunnerDB API)
• Progress spinner during API requests for better UX
• Formatted text output with proper text wrapping
• Machine-readable JSON output option
• Random selection from all three APIs with balanced probability
