As you probably know, this sort of thing screams > "database"! Nope, it screams "Crazed robot!". Or, uh.. maybe not.. Anyway, before I read this, I had the idea of throwing in a few more lists that would naturally be generated by a robot. Basically, certain cards (particularly goals and new rules) tend to mention other cards. Generally these cards will only make sense in a deck that contains the cards they mention. So I want: * For each card that is mentioned in another card's text, a list of cards whose text it is mentioned in. * A list of cards that do not have any links to other cards, in either direction. I.e. they can be added to any Fluxx deck. * For each standard deck (Fluxx 1.0, Fluxx 2.x, etc.), a list of cards that can be added based on the cards in that deck. For right now, I have a python program that can download the Fluxx Blanxx list from the wiki and generate a list by author. I have attached this in case it is useful (and boldly replaced the page contents with the bot-generated list). There's more individual-situation-specific logic in the script than I'd like (and I did have to modify the pages a bit to actually get a nice list), and it cannot make any automated changes (this is by design). If someone beats me to providing the information I want with a database, that's fine with me. Vincent Povirk
