A Python program for generating LaTeX code that will generate a nice looking deck of cards with Dungeons and Dragons 5e spells on them.

Hello!

Hi there! My name is Stephen, and I'm a high-performance scientific software engineer at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). Specifically, I work on @acts-project, where I am trying to bring GPGPU technology to track reconstruction.

Besides high performance computing, I am also enamoured with programing language theory, functional programming, and compilers. I enjoy learning more about category theory and logic, but I don't have much time to study them. My favourite programming languages are Python, C++, Rust, and Haskell. One of the things I enjoy most in my line of work is education, and I am always looking for ways to help out with trainings and such!

Outside of computing, I am an amateur photographer and I really enjoy tabletop roleplaying games. I like to ride my bicycle around the Swiss-French countryside for exercise.

Please feel free to contact me with questions, suggestions, collaborations, or whatever else!

dnd-spelldeck's Issues

Thank you

Not a real issue.
This is just to thank you for this!

So useful and great.

Thank you.

UnicodeEncodeError

Using the command "python generate.py -c sorcerer" (Python 3.5.2) it got most of the way through with the last successful spell being "Power word stun" before throwing the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generate.py", line 115, in
print_spell(name, **spell)
File "generate.py", line 61, in print_spell
(name, header, range, time, duration, ", ".join(components), source or '', textwrap.fill(new_text, 80)))
File "C:\Users\Toby\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\encodings\cp850.py", line 19, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u20ac' in position 268: character maps to

I had a quick look around and it seems to be Prestidigitation that's the next sorcerer spell and it has some special characters in. Might want to look into it.

Missing spells from Xanathar's Guide to Everything

Pretty cool project! I did notice that the spells from Xanathar's aren't on the spell list. If I get some time I'll see if I can create an updated spells list to add to your project.

Unicode carriage return and mode

Hi. Spells like Druidcraft have a bulleted list of alternative effects: in the json file there are UNICODES like \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 that won't be correctly translated in latex...

Backside of the cards

Hi!
I was just wondering if there is a handy way to print also the backside of the cards, something like what is discussed here

Completing collections and functions

If it is possible, please create a spell book generation function like in https://www.dnd-spells.com/spells with filtering options

Also for reference of "all the spells"
