stats have to include individual weapon cooldowns and damage, what to do either put all as lines in stats (clean, but ugly) or modify the components directly (messy) or have the components hold both values, with mouse over showing the chain of effects ! components hold both values, stats screen is for stats only. implement cost function: oh boy cost of a component = c_c cost of a unit = c_u cost of an army = c_a c_a = sum {i=0..ar->uslen-1} c_u[i] c_u = sum {comp j} c_c[j] -> maybe unfair, does not consider synergies = sum of stats -> nerfs synergies, confusing and hard to calculate c_c = sum of abs attributes -> ez but trash = basis function of effectiveness of attribute -> cool cost of unit is tricky if i consider the simple sum of c_c, the augment bonuses are left out gun cost 10, better ammo 10, total cost is 20. otherwise every unit is calculated ad hoc. gun cost 10, better ammo 10, dps is way better so total cost is 30 -> i'm using the cost by unit final stats, it's better but harder what is effectiveness, i have to find formulas . effectiveness of a weapon + total damage output + range multiplies total damage + aoe multiplies total damage + knockback fixed cost + stun fixed cost - upkeep as a % of total cost - charge per shot required - weight as a % of total cost . effectiveness of a chassis + slots (different by slot type) + speed + hp + weight_max - upkeep . effectiveness of a battery + capacity + recharge based on capacity - weight as a % of total cost . effectiveness of an armor component + armor amount - weight - upkeep . effectiveness of an augment + all add effects, weighted accordingly - weight as a % of total cost . effectiveness of a controller + base cost by complexity of strategy (so base cost is defined in data) - upkeep multiplicative constants (buy with weight): . 1 total damage per turn = 2 weight . 1 armor = 2 weight . 10 hp = 1 weight . 100 capacity = 1 weight . 1 upkeep = 1 weight (they differ in the implementation) basis function: (to modulate the increase in cost, double effectiveness, maybe 4*cost, or 70*cost) . linear y=x . log y=log(x) . exp y=exp(x) . other maybe? cost of a unit: (info_unit_get_cost) . sum of cost of components but with the final modified values i can also price components based on no bonuses to provide a price gauge -> meh i think it's better to focus on the cost indipendently of weight for now -> done inpependent wrt weight implement end of battle condition: i was thinking i can detect the end as no damage is being dealt in 10 turns and no movement takes place another condition is that the enemy has no units, but it's not necessary. end <==> no movement or fire have to do transition from battle to editor, done ez -> done implement components level: could do it globally, every level is +5%atk and +10% cost could set each weapon stat as a vector, v[level] is the stat what is max level? 5? work global: just implement the function local: that's #components * #attributes * #levels, n^3 operations both: local weights, worst of both worlds global is a quick solution, but i'm not here to do things quickly, i want to do them good. so local is better, but requires to . revolutionize every json parser . write a lot of numbers . design with a lot more variables in play before writing 10000 numbers i should design, or autogenerate them settled on 3 lvls, autogenerated with python missing hud! -> done, also some testing implement rm unit: -> done, paper note solution implement armor calculation: consider bonuses for damage reduction aggregate them and spit out a percentage editor remove units funct to make it possible to have a test case army has to rebuild grid ref on load -> done, barely tested implement augment calculation: there are a lot of bonuses to keep track. do one at a time. ok add_armor as a malus % ok add_damage (only if same damage type weapon) as a bonus % ok add_range as a fixed sum ok add_cooldown ok add_hp ok add_speed -> done, not tested implement sound: partially done, need sound design implement battery calculations: every component but the battery has an upkeep upkeep gets paid at the end of the turn if no charge: no shooting or moving weapons that drain energy do so (wow, also what?) yellow small text! yay! -> done, tested briefely, testing is delayed until i write test suite
