Technically this isnt based on a client, as it is written in Java, but making a project out of it to learn some things about Java. Figured I would post updates and take opinions, suggestions, thoughts, and assistance if wished.
Current status:
player object has an issue sorting cards (when you play a card it should move all cards left and null the last ones which will no longer display)
Card objects are fine
Deck object is shuffling, dealing, and all other functions working normally.
This first version is using Strings for the name because images were being a major hassle, want to make sure the whole thing works first.
The AI for comp will come later but the general logic behind it will be at expert it will evaluate the value of any given card in any given square. Middle difficulty will take educated guesses. Nooblet will be mostly random.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I have no idea what you're talking about... what is Fate? A card game? What does that have to do with Lusternia?

17.11 THE GAME OF FATE
THE GAME OF FATE
----------------
The game of Fate is adapted from a game played by those in the House of
Prophets before the fall of the Celestine Empire. In the traditional game,
five cards are dealt from a Tarot deck, and opponents take turns placing them
upon a 3x3 grid marked before them. The progression of cards and winner were
taken to be a sign of Fate, and so the game was named. In modern times, many
variations of the deck have been developed for use in the game.
Each card in a Fate deck is assigned a numerical value, which is displayed on
the corners of the card. When a higher valued card is placed adjacent to a
lower valued card, control of the lower card shifts to the person who played
the higher valued card. The person who commands the most cards when the 3x3
grid is full is declared the winner.
To play a game of Fate, you must have a set (or deck) of Fate cards before
you. You may play against the magical enchantment of the deck itself, or
another person.
The commands to play a game of Fate are:
FATE LIST Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â List the sets of Fate cards
                                            available to you, or a summary of

It is, unfortunately, a bit over-priced for a game. After the initial rush of people buying it the craze died down and I don't think there have been many sales of it in recent history.

Where do you get the cards?

125db for a deck. Or do the Malacoda quest to play a slightly modified form of it against (terrible) AI.
