Whenever I begin a new project, the first thing I think about is how I want to set up the architecture. Basically I am looking for the answer to this question: “How will all the stuff know about all the other stuff?”. In the past I usually resorted to a pattern called the Singleton to make it easy for data to be accessible from anywhere. In this case, I don’t want to rely on Singletons because I want my code to be testable, and from what I have read, the two don’t tend to go together well.

Make a CCG – Intro
The goal of this project series will be to create a foundation from which you could make your own Collectible Card Game (CCG) / Trading Card Game (TCG). I sent out a poll to see what everyone would be most interested in building, but the results were pretty much the same for every entry and included a bunch of games I had never played. So, I decided to base the series primarily on Hearthstone, since it is my personal favorite.
CCG Prototype – Sneak Peek
