I split the dual-layer ascii java program discussion from here since it was getting a bit offtopic

Sorry guys, but there was no progress on Elmgon this weekend.  :(  I had two projects that I had to due that took me about 12 hours total.

I'm still working on the battle engine. :)

I know how hard coding battle engine can be. Good luck with the projects and the engine!


Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Bump!

I've made some progress on Elmgon today, but I can't figure out how to implement stamina.  I think instead of stamina I'll have Mana Points that work like in other games.  Sound good?

I will be able to make progress on Elmgon this weekend, and hopefully I'll make moves actually hurt people.  :D
I hope everything goes well! :)

Nice to hear progress. Stamina might be a bit hard indeed, altough I think it should be possible. Mana/MP is fine, tho. Good luck!

In the past two/three days I have made HUGE progress! :D

I have 5 things left to do on the battle engine before I consider it "done for now":
1: Fix bugs...
  A: Moves don't do the same damage every time-I'm referencing the wrong list/list element somewhere.
  B: You can attack dead enemies-Rewrite some code in the "Choose who to attack" area will fix this.
2: Add Mana Point support (Now everything is 0 mana to use).
3: Add animations.
4: Add end of battle/stats up screen.
5: Make attacker step forward 3 pixels.

Once I've fixed the two bugs, I'll upload a screenie... ;D

Edit: Added a 5th thing to do...

Silly zTrumpet, trying to optimize while still in development stage :P

haha jk, good job on finding the bug.  I hate it when they are that small and obscure.

That's actually how I code all the time.  I rarely find huge optimizations afterward. ;D

1: Fix bugs...
  B: You can attack dead enemies-Rewrite some code in the "Choose who to attack" area will fix this.
5: Make attacker step forward 3 pixels.
Done!  Here's the screenie!
I think there are four battles in the screenie, and the first and last are probably the coolest. :D
What do you guys think? :)

Edit: Does anyone want to see the code for this?  If anyone wants, I can upload the code. :D
