Eye of Judgment on the iPhone

Eye of Judgment is a strategy card game for the Playstation 3. If you’ve never heard of it, just click here to see it in action and learn about the game. I’ve been playing the game since it came out, and really enjoy all the aspects and different possibilities; however, I always wanted to have quick access to information about all 300+ cards available when facing a new card, in order to be able to defend myself. With that “need”, I and Rida came up with the idea of creating a mobile micro application that would give us all the information we need in a few seconds.

The main point of the “Play EoJ” application is to get a 100% accurate description of all the cards, we are still missing some data from the newly released Set 3 cards, but the accuracy/completeness is close to 90%, which should go up after feedback from users, and some extra research from our end. After the data we have is totally reliable, we’ll release an API to give other developers access to the information in a simple and structured way.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have an iPhone, you’ll get to see how the application is supposed to behave in the quick demo screen cast I recorded. Just go to http://playeoj.mobi and give the application a spin. The application is coded with Rails and has a SQLite database, the code is released under the MIT open source license. You can check out the source at GitHub and make any desired changes.

To keep up with the learning spirit, the next steps will be to either port the application as a native iPhone app, write an Android or Symbian equivalent. It’s really interesting to feel the power of quick access to important data from mobile devices, so I’ll be playing a lot more with them in the near future.

    It works on iTouch :D

    2 things would be nice.

    One: if you could choose by element (or spell) Then by set…then alphabetical.

    Two: if it was a installed app.

    Thanks for the work so far!

    I meant to say the choosing choose by element (or spell) Then by set…then alphabetical in a cascading way…

    This is really cool. I’m happy you guys made it and I found it.

    A webclip icon for the home screen would make this complete. The EOJ logo might look good.

    Here’s one you can use:

    It’s easy to put in, just use the name “apple-touch-icon.png” and drop it in your web doc root folder.
