MTG Decklist Image to PDF Generator

This Rust-based project fetches images of Magic: The Gathering (MTG) cards from a decklist, compiles them into a PDF file, and provides a visual representation of the specified MTG deck.

Features

• Decklist Parsing: Parses a given decklist text file to extract card names and set names.
• Image Fetching: Utilizes the Scryfall API to fetch card images in PNG format.
• PDF Generation: Compiles the fetched card images into a PDF document using the printpdf crate.
• Image Transformation: Includes functionality to handle image alpha channels for proper rendering in the PDF.

Prerequisites

• Rust programming language installed.
• Libraries:
  • printpdf
  • image
  • reqwest
  • regex
  • urlencoding
  • rfd

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mtg-deck-image-pdf.git
   cd mtg-deck-image-pdf

2. Install Rust dependencies:

   cargo build

Usage

1. Prepare your decklist in a text file (e.g., my_decklist.txt), following a specific format (each line containing card name and set name).

2. Run the program:

   cargo run

3. The program will prompt you to select the decklist text file.

4. It will fetch card images, compile them into a PDF, and save it in the project directory.

Notes

• Ensure a stable internet connection for image fetching from Scryfall API.
• Customize the decklist file format or API endpoints if necessary.
• Check API usage limits to avoid hitting rate limits or exceeding quotas.

Credits

• This project uses the Scryfall API for fetching card images.
• Portions of the code are adapted from various Rust libraries and contributors.
