Add a pretty-printer to game state
@jleclanche My first instinct is to do this using curses (a la https://github.com/danielyule/hearthbreaker/blob/master/text_runner.py, example output here). Are you comfortable adding curses as a requirement?
If you build a curses client then it'd have to be a full-blown client, that lets you select and play cards. It's something I've wanted to do so I'm comfortable with it yes, as long as the dependency remains contained :)
You can take a look at kettle.py if you want some inspiration. Kettle is a network client. In fact, you could build a standalone client that doesn't use fireplace at all, and just depends on Kettle. But a builtin client is also probably useful...
BTW you should join the #hearthsim IRC channel if you'd like to talk about all this, it's a lot simpler.
Also http://urwid.org/index.html looks a lot better than using raw curses, any thoughts about that?
I have added functionality to export the game state to xml, which should help.
