Since last week things have been coming along nicley . . . . . . well, almost.

Story line
When we first came up with our game idea we decided that we wanted something a bit different, a sence of uniquness. So instead of producing just another monster bashing game, we came up with . . . an Idea!. In-game plots.
Even though we are developing a turn based stategy we e will also accomadate and develop an rpg based plot for our characters to follow. As the story unfolds the characters become stronger and different paths become available.

Appart from working on the story plot our team have writen up a few base descriptions of ingame buildings detailing their uses. Eventually these descriptions will be placed in seperate text files contaning these descriptions. It's all good, eventully

The Programing

Annoyances
At the moment if we want to add room for an extra building into a territory we have to write about 2-3 functions and add maybe 2-3 extra varables into the .h file.
After this rather annoying task, we then must change all the max_buildings numbers and finaly alter the main file where the new list is created to accept an extra
int.
Not to mention all the other places we'd have to declare the new building slot.

Basicaly the functionality is rubbish, as it takes to long to add extra content to the game.

Good Times
On the actual development side of things you can take a look at the source code for the network and graphics framework here. It's not much at the moment but the bases is there, which is good.

Use

#define MAX_BUILDINGS 500

then you change 1 variable and the whole program that calls that variable changes

Crazy_Learner: The simplist things don't ever occur to us lol, thanks. We've already done it.

We recently had another 2 programmers join our team, in the last week.
And our code for conducting building upgrades is getting somewhere. All that is left to do, is introduce the code for building requirments.

hey. nice work!
perhaps you would be interested in work on a scripting system for us. you seam to be just the person where looking for. We need someone to help at writing scripts for our single player games, as well as reading in data from files.

if you want to find out more please visit

http://ageofgreeks.d...b.com/forum.htm

Sounds interesting and I always had a thing for open source collaborative projects. But I haven't perfectly understood if you want me to develop a scripting system/language or to help with writing the plot.

We wish for you to develop the scripting/language(lots of work ), not the plots.
However we will also need scripting for our plots as they will need objectives/missions for players to complete.

Hope your still intrested, if you are, feel free to sign up on the website, and I'll send you a load of details later.
