Well GDR is having fun with their challenges, so why not us?

I propose the following challenge. It is not official, but it could be if Bjorn agreed with it.

The challenge is to author a battle demo in two weeks. Just one battle, of any style. Adventure, turn-based, ATB, you name it. Rules are as follows:

1) The battle must begin immediately upon program execution.

2) Only one opponent.

3) It must be possible to win.

4) No music, no sound. Just battle.

Beyond that, anything goes.

I'm guessing theres no 'takers' on this idea.
Most likely due to the author of the thread.

Normally I'd be very eager to take part in any contest, regardless of who suggested it, but it just so happens that at the moment, that's exactly what I'm working on. Seeing how what I've been working on for weeks probably doesn't count as a valid entry, and I've got no interest in developing another battle engine in parallel to this one, I'll sit this one out.

Looks cool, Chaotic Harmony! You should tell us a little bit about how it works.

Nevermind. I think I'm gonna leave after all.

I really don't find any of RuneLancer's topics interesting, nor even relevant to RPGs. And he doesn't even post in "Off topic".

My opponents here tend to talk big about procedure and "proper coding practices" to others. Funny they don't have much to demonstrate their usage of it in their own projects, from what I can see. Judge not lest....

I'm tired of fighting over the more "emotional" elements, especially when someone as devious as RuneLancer is on hand to callously manipulate people into thinking I'm the devil. Oh I know he doesn't think of it as bad, but I know what INTPs can be capable of when they're on the wrong side of the world. Not much more to expect though, from a person who is so naive as to think God made a "mistake" when he made the world.

Anyway, it seems to me likely that RPGDX doesn't have long to go. Mandrake is disinterested; the psychotics keep the flames rolling like crazy; and Bjorn appears almost MIA. If he wants to keep this site afloat, then he needs to reconsider his lazzie-faire moderation policy, especially over the current group.

I'm probably going to submit something to this challenge, probably with Dyne and my JS tile engine. But beyond that, I'm really tired of this.

Of course, my biggest gripe is that most of the forum regulars now are either crazy or they barely think anything like me. That and the debacle with DevX appears to have stirred some kinda anti-LG phenomenon that appears not even to be contained by RPGDX. I suggest he get that under control.

Ok, bye.

The only one opponent restriction would stop anyone from doing a decient tactics kinda battle.

I seem to recall coming across something similar a few years ago that would qualify for the rules (if you took the music out), and would kick all of our asses.

Equilibrium Combat Demo

(well, mine anyhow.)

Nephilim, thanks. :)
