A feature-rich, high-performance WordPress Child Theme built on the Bootscore framework, specifically engineered for managing the LPDH (Legendary Pauper Commander) community and tournament ecosystem.
This theme transforms WordPress into a comprehensive tournament management platform. It combines static content management with dynamic systems for player rankings, deck database management, and interactive community features.
Note
This theme is the result of an experiment. Aside from graphical assets, the entire template was developed by AI—primarily Gemini, Copilot, and Blackbox—under my specific instructions. These prompts were sometimes detailed, and other times intentionally vague or imprecise, in order to challenge the AI's reasoning capabilities and test its understanding of the project context and objectives. This repository is public to serve as documentation of this experiment.
