alberdi/rogueforce

Yet another game based on Dragon Force, now with roguelike graphics.

rogueforce's Issues

BigMinions should show contextual information.

Make colored minions work properly.

We can have colored minions without problem, but they revert back to the white-red gradient when taking damage. It would be great to have them colored other than white and still be able to display the loss of health.

There is a member variable called original_color that could be useful for this.

Change the order to specify the characters of BigEntities

This is currently the order to access the chars and colors lists (3x3 example):
174
963
852

It should be like this:
123
456
789

Anyway, it would be good to still host the generals in the fortresses as now. It looks good:
13
42

Implement initial formations following the spirit of tactics.

Make ready-to-play packages for each major system.

Lots of bonus points if they are made automatically from the latest master branch.

Implement dueling when both sides run out of minions.

Increment turn_time to make up for slower network connections.

Due to the current network/update/render protocol, increasing turn_time from 0.1 (current) to 0.2 (looks good) will cut in half the FPS from 10 to 5, and that's not a lot to simulate fast effects and things like that. Futhermore, we are using those ticks to update all the entities, so they will seem slower if we increase turn_time but stick with the same values for each default_next_action.

Create a menu to be able to select scenario and parameters.

Inverted wedge formation is not symmetrical with big minions

Make spacebar default to stop minions.

Pressing it again should command the last tactic selected before.

Create a wiki as the place to go to find information.

Be able to create bigger entities.

Entities that are bigger than a simple one, occupying more than a single tile.

Standarize the order of side, x and y parameters.

At the moment it's different if we're using Entities or Minions. It's so confusing and it shouldn't be like this.

Battleground should maybe be a Singleton.

We are passing it as a variable everywhere.

Automatize general documentation.

We can get the values from the code and write automatized documentation for user reference.

Make a General-O-Matic that lets you choose between all the implemented skills/minions/etc.

Show skill description somewhere.

Users can't be expected to learn every skill on the game by heart, so there should be some way of showing all the interesting information of each one, at least inside of the battle.

Big_Minions don't hit all possible targets.

..22
1122
11

In the above case 2 can't hit 1, but 1 can hit 2.

Show some contextual information, such as info of the unit behind the cursor.

Structure all the files in different folders.

Make the server listen to both players in the same port.

Broadcast general/minion/formation selection on connect.

Make battles happen on their own thread.

This would give the game a more frenzy pace because you could have a lot of battles going on at the same time. Also, it would allow more than two players without being forced to be paused to watch battles where you are not participating.

Last time, I tried to create a new window for each battle, but the library kept crashing. Maybe we could simulate it or find a workaround.

Show the area of the skills before being cast.

Proposal: pressing SHIFT+KEY to show them.

Client freezes when the other player closes their side of a network game.
