Untitled RTS Game


I've been discussing making an RTS game based on the game engine I'm developing for my maths quiz action RPG.

 


First the player builds a mill. Farmland spawns around the mill and villagers go to work like people in Sim City. When enemy forces are spotted, villagers teleport to inside the mill. If the mill dies the villagers inside also die and the player's pool of available villagers decreases.

If the player places a tower near the mill, the two buildings form a building group. If enemy forces arrive, villagers teleport to inside the tower. The tower shoots arrows at the enemy forces. If the mill is destroyed the villagers don't die, but if the tower is destroyed the villagers die and they are subtracted from the players pool of available villagers.


The player can click to build a wall around the building group, adding extra protection or firepower.

The player can upgrade the tower to a keep and then a castle, adding extra protection or firepower.

The basic unit of a player's army is a group of 12 foot soldiers, 6 horses or one elephant. The simulation treats these as one entity and then individuals are rendered separately.

Archers can garrison in buildings for added firepower and protection.

Maths Game.

Image
 I am (occasionally) working on an action RPG game where every time you attack you have to answer a maths question. RPGs are cool and I used to play them a lot but now I am a social gamer and I don't appreciate the brain-drain. I have accrued a large repository of spaghetti code with a few gems as I learn the ins and outs of game programming in C ( https://github.com/BostonBrooks/Spaghetti_Graveyard. ) . I chose C because it is what the electronic and computer engineers use and working as an ECE is a long term goal for me. I am using the C binding for SFML because SDL doesn't easily incorporate 2D meshes, to be used for 2.5D curved ground surfaces. A few demos below. Scritchyness is due to screen capture software.     All for now, Boston.   Update 17/02/2022 In the game, the terrain is represented as a 2 dimensional grid where each point has a third dimension (height). I have used bicubic interpolation (functions with x^3 and y^3 terms) to smooth the areas between po...

Fossicking

Image
 My father and I just got back from a trip to Lightning Ridge to look for opals. We had a great time and we were much more successful than we have been, panning for little specks of gold. Mud collects on the bottom of the ocean, and gets compacted into rock. Then then rock cracks and water fills on those fissures. Over time silica is deposited in those fissures. The silica is commonly a greyish blue colour (potch), but sometimes comes out sparkly. This is what we call opal. Over time, through geologic processes, the mudstone is carried upward, above sea level. In Lightning Ridge they bore tunnels into the mud stone looking for opals, and the gravel they dig out is just left on the side of the road. In fact, the roads are lined with this gravel. When it rains the mudstone is washed away, leaving behind the potch and little fragments of opal that the miners missed when they dug up the gravel. Fossickers walk along the side of the road looking for the sparkly stuff.  I collected ...

Reina (Dungeons and Dragons Character)

Image
 Reina was a DnD character I player using a class that was not available on DnD Beyond, so this was where she lived. The DM is doing a new campaign based of Diablo 2 and I am playing Cassia the lightning/javelin ranger. Reina is a name that means queen in the old language and she carries herself with a regal air. She speaks only when she must, but she does things right while displaying minimal effort. Such is her grace and her consecrated beauty. Race:    High Elf Class:    Alternate Ranger Level:    9 Alignment:    Lawful Good Armour Class:    17 Initiative:   4 Speed:    30 Proficiency:    +4 Max Hitpoints: 77 (Tough) Passive Perception:    13 Investigation:    11 Insight:    13 Ability Score: Modifier: Saving Throw: Strength: 8 -1 +4 Dexterity: 1 8 +4 +9 Constitution: 12 +1 +2 Intelligence: 13 +1 +2 Wisdom: ...
