Cider

Design beautiful game cards with the power and familiarity of HTML, CSS, and Handlebars. Oatear Cider is a modern IDE for card game creation, bridging the gap between simple editors and complex professional software.

Cider was created for designers who want the ultimate creative freedom without a steep learning curve. Instead of a restrictive graphical editor, Cider uses the tools you already know:

  • Structure with HTML: Define the layout of your cards with standard HTML.
  • Style with CSS: Apply rich styling, from fonts and colors to complex layouts like CSS Grid.
  • Add Logic with Handlebars: Use data from a spreadsheet to dynamically change names, stats, and abilities.
  • See a Sample Project: Check out the Cosmic Apple sample project to see how it all comes together.
