API

The primary endpoint for the API is at /api/action.php. This currently accepts a url parameter called string that should contain the URL encoded action sent from the client. Note that this will eventually be a POST action.

API requests return a JSON string.

All requests, regardless of game state, will return a prompt property that should be printed to the screen. Often, an array of choices will also be sent.

Battle Stuff

Just some notes to remember for later.

Basic stats: Strength, Defense, Intelligence, Agility

Entities have "types" for initialization, each type correlates to a basic stat, and stats are built with modifiers based on type.

HP = (.5STR + .75DEF) * 2 + 5

MP = INT * 2 + 3

Stats are built based on: (1 + (DIFFICULTY / 20) + modifier) * LEVEL + RN(-1,1)

Attack Rate: 75 * (AGILITY / ENEMY_AGILITY) + 10

Formatting

When sending data to the client, you can format it in a number of ways using a BBCode like format.

[b]Bold text goes here[/b] [i]Italic text goes here[/i] [u]Underlined text goes here[/u] [q]Quoted text goes here[/q]

You can also set colors with the same type of format.

[c1]This will be red text[/c1]

You can use 1-7 to set colors according to ANSI escape code colors.

1 - Red 2 - Green 3 - Yellow 4 - Blue 5 - Magenta 6 - Cyan 7 - Gray 8 - Orange

New lines can be sent in a number of difference ways. The recommended way is to use a "\n" to denote a new line (which will be turned into "
" on the client). You also have the option of sending back your prompt as an array. Each element will be turned into its own line.
