😠⚔️😈 A minimalistic 2D turn-based tactical game in Rust

zemeroth's Issues

save/load

Throwable bombs

You throw it and it explodes on the next turn.

Like in Hoplite:

Spearman

attack range: 2 tiles

devlog: Embed youtube videos using some RST extension

I hate that it's done right now with raw HTML blocks.

See https://pyembed.github.io/usage/rst/

Highlight tiles with cost <= unit.move_points

Convert pathfinding algo to real dijkstra

Replace VecDeque in src/core/movement.rs with BinaryHeap.

See https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/binary_heap/#examples

game records + replays

häte: Move modules from `hate/src/lib.rs` into separate files

https://github.com/ozkriff/zemeroth/blob/6380ea14d/hate/src/lib.rs#L49-L487

this is not ok

Use circleci to check android builds

See rust-windowing/glutin#919

Remove all `use ::` imports

Remove imports like use ::{Sprite, Context, Time};

basic appveyor

See https://github.com/ozkriff/zoc/blob/master/appveyor.yml

User-friendly message about missing assets directory

See ozkriff/zoc#211

Add travis, appveyor and circleci badges to readme

häte: Update glutin to 0.9

This should fix #39 on OSX

See gfx-rs/gfx#1377

Re-enable master branch protection

I've disabled it temporary as there're some issues with appveyour:

zscene: Easing actions

Something like http://www.cocos2d-x.org/wiki/Actions#Easing or Piston's https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/piston-examples/blob/master/src/sprite.rs .

Check https://docs.rs/easing and https://docs.rs/ezing

Willpower and Exertion

I'm not sure if the game really needs them (xcom-like abilities with cooldowns should emulate this to some extent), but it would be cool to build a prototype.

How they work in BS (from https://bannersaga.gamepedia.com/Stats):

Willpower (WP or WIL) measures a unit's capacity to perform actions that exceed its regular 'potential'. These actions can be any of the following:

• Move longer (more tiles) than normal.
• Inflict more damage to an enemy unit's Strength or Armor.
• Use an active ability.

Points of Willpower are spent (depleted) when a unit executes these feats; when Willpower runs out, then the unit can only perform normal movement and attacks.

The amount of Willpower that can be spent for extra movement & damage cannot exceed the unit's Exertion stat (see below). The amount of Willpower spent on an active ability is only limited by the Rank of the ability that the unit desires to use; abilities of Rank-{1,2,3} cost {1,2,3}WP, respectively.

Willpower can be replenished by the following means:

• Resting: If a unit terminates his turn without neither moving, nor attacking, nor using an active ability, then 1WP is restored.
• Using 'The Horn', a magic item fueled by knocking-out enemies.
• Specific abilities, granted by allies or equipped items (only for the single-player game).

The maximum Willpower of a unit cannot be exceed by these mechanisms.

Exertion (EX or EXE) dictates how much Willpower a unit can use to boost its movement or attack damage. You are not restricted to using Willpower for only one action per turn, since you can only boost each action for as much Willpower you have left and what your Exertion allows.

Example: A unit with 2 Exertion and 4 Willpower can (a) move 2 extra tiles, and/or (b) do 2 more damage.

Exertion is a fixed stat that can only be temporarily decreased (zeroed) by a specific active ability in the single-player game. Note that units are normally allowed to have zero Exertion, meaning that they can only use their Willpower for active abilities. Currently available Exertion range is between 0-3.

devlog: Post "unpublished" ZoC's drafts

Fix and post "unpublished" drafts in Russian about ZoC's development.
Just for the history.

They must be on gitlab of bitbucket repo.

Progress video/gif

After some time make something like http://imgur.com/gallery/UJODo

devlog: Move _all_ images from imgur to the repo

Strength

Right now units die from a single hit. That won't work well with reactions attacks (#25). Units should have some kind of basic hit points.

I'm going to call this unit's property "Strength" - like in Banner Saga, as I'm going to use this later as an attack modifier too.

häte: Reformat with `cargo fmt`

I didn't know that cargo fmt is not formatting subcrates :( , so häte's formatting is a bit rotten now.

Block user input during command execution

I think that there're should be a timer in Game screen for this. The blocking time should be based on modified visualize_events output:

pub fn visualize_event(
   state: &State,
   view: &mut GameView,
   context: &mut Context,
   event: &ActiveEvent,
) -> (Time, Box<Action>) {
   ...

as it's visualize_event who knows about separation between important and cosmetic scene actions.

More unit types

• imp
• fast imp
• imp summoner
• toxic imp
• giant crab
• grenade imp
• swordsman
• spearman - #65
• bomb thrower - #69
• warhammer guy
• two-axes guy
• axe-and-shield guy
• big-axe guy
• archer
• crossbowman

Re-animate ozkriff.github.io blog

I need a place to post monthly reports and things like that. Using rust forum (as I've done for ZoC) isn't the best option in the long-term perspective.

It would be cool to switch the blog to some Rust generator like cobalt.rs but it seems like none of them support restructuredtext format and I really want to use it.

• Translate blog's interface to English
• Translate "about" page to English
• Add link to twitter
• Copy ZoC's monthly reports from forum
• Write a post with the postmortem for ZoC and first Zemeroth's announcement / monthly report
• Add a short version of postmortem to ZoC's readme (and a link to the full post)
• Remove "Contribute" section from ZoC's readme
• [ ] Post "unpublished" drafts (russian)
• [ ] Add link to the blog to Zemeroth's readme
• [ ] Fix appearance on mobile by fixing the css - pixels everywhere! X-| - or by changing the theme
• [ ] embedded youtube videos

Armor and Break stats

"Armor" is defensive stat, "Break" is offensive.

From Banner Saga:

Armor (ARM) serves as a defense rating denoting how vulnerable is a unit to attacks. Specifically, Armor protects a unit's Strength by decreasing incoming damage.

Break (AB or BRK) is the amount of direct damage a unit can naturally do to a target's Armor and reduces the enemy's Armor according to said amount.
