The project is written in Java and was initially developed by BetaSteward, who still moderates the online forums of the XMage project. Its goal is to make a free, open-source, online playable computer game version of the original Magic the Gathering card game with actual rule enforcement, something which competitors do not have. XMage is a project which started development in early 2010. An overview of the architecture is provided, as well as an analysis of the technical debt present in the system. XMage's architecture is analyzed from multiple perspectives and viewpoints. The core developers get help from many contributors to keep the engine up to date with new card set releases. XMage is an open source Magic the Gathering client and game engine that allows you to play Magic the Gathering games online against human or computer players with full rules enforcement.
