nice looking. one tip i can give you that i learned the long way in my project is, use vectors to represent anything with an x, y. like a character location for instance. its tempting to do this:
but, do this, you'll open the door for lots of ways to make the math much easier:
Code: Select all
Type char
x As Integer
y As Integer
hp As Integer
...
End Type
Code: Select all
Type vector
x As Integer 'or double!
y As Integer 'or double!
End Type
Type char
coords As vector
hp As Integer
...
End Type

For the x and y vars, I'd suggest using either a SINGLE or a DOUBLE. If you use an integer and should happen to add something that is <0.5 then it doesn't do anything, and this can get really frustrating really fast.cha0s wrote:nice looking. one tip i can give you that i learned the long way in my project is, use vectors to represent anything with an x, y. like a character location for instance. its tempting to do this:

That project reminds me of MysticWorld. Stormy, a guy present in both this and the German forum, is coding the project and is doing rather well; here's a link.
