Nothing to be to proud of compared to the masters, but it is getting there.

Right now Ai is about in grade 8. About to take the first big step to High School but still loving being a kid.

Ai can recognize when he has chips in a row and place them to win. He even knows when he has two in a row and to set up for a third one. Talk about a boy genious right?

I still need to program him to stop the person from winning, but that is comming shortly and should be done within the week.

I went to work on the Epiphany Engine.

  • This will be top down view
  • Maps will be uploaded by the creator
  • These will be explorable by the four cardinal directions on a grid
• Enemies
  • Fully customizable from elements, to items carried, to items dropped, attributes, spells

The player will also have the option of buying any common weapons, shields, armors, or magics in the game. If they do not have enough money or if all their inventory is full the player is notified.

A guard option is now available in battle in case the players other commands are rendered useless. In example, if the player has no mana to cast a spell and their attackhas been rendered useless by a spell. The player can guard to boost their armor by 33% for that turn.

Player status! Yes, the player can now check on their status. You can view their current health and mana, equipped magic, and even see their attack dmg, defense, agility, and accuracy. This page will eventually serve as a profile page for each character.

Equip page. Players can now equip magics they have acquired by equipping the orbs. They can also equip different weapons, armors, and shields.

Inventory. Inventory has been created and players can view all the items they are carrying. They can also use select items such as mana potions and health potions.

Magic rollovers. You can now roll over magic spells to view their mana cost, dmg, and description.

A beta version will be available to test soon!

There are many different elements that will affect the magic. First of which is a condition. If they character is under any condition which pertains to magic such as “Render Magic” which disables all you magics, you will not be able to cast.

If the player does cast a spell then the proper mana is subtracted and the spell is cast. Depending on the type of magic it is and the element of the creature depends on how much damage it will do. If you cast fire against a fire element, it will deal less damage. If you cast water against a fire element the damage dealt is increased.

Up next I need to program the ability for the player to set conditions on an enemy.

TINYINT = -128 to 127
SMALLINT = -32768 to 32767
MEDIUMINT = -8388608 to 8388607
INT = -2147483648 to 2147483647

After the person creates a character they will receive 12 Attribute Points to put in any field they choose for their character. This can be changed at any point during the game.
