QTarot

QTarot is a simple fortune telling app for Linux systems primarily. It works on Windows too. I'm pretty sure it works on Macs. Currently only has the Rider-Waite deck and the Elder Futhark, but more can be added. You can also change the background image for the current reading.

Todo

• Make a GUI editor for deck definitions
• Make a GUI editor for layouts
• Make only the basename for an image in a deck definition matter
• Actually fill out the Elder Futhark deck definition
• More deck themes :|.
• Streamline the GUI for making a new reading with another deck definition

Dependencies

• Python 3
• PyQt
• lxml

Install

Copy the files to /usr/share/qtarot if you plan to use the *.desktop file included. If not, feel free to leave it where you downloaded it or place it somewhere else.
