Roll to Dodge - RTDMGbeta madness!
« on: September 04, 2008, 08:01:28 pm »

Basically, this will be a semi-automated RTD game using my (beta) program seen in this thread.

The idea is that I edit the data textfile before each round to give outcomes while using this thread as a way to gain features and stuff that will be realistically needed.

So, standard RTD rules apply, see most other threads for details.

I will allow up to 10 players in-game at a time.
There will be a waiting list as well, with the person at the front getting 24 hours to claim any open slot before they are moved to the back of the list.

Players:
1.penguinofhonor
2.Vaiolis
3.cowofdoom78963
4.yougiedeggs
5.Emperor_Jonathan
6.andrea
7.Boksi
8.
9.
10.

Waiting list:
1.
2.
3.


Setting:

You wake up, fully clothed(!) in a vast white expanse with no memories of how you got there or why.
There is a single narrow stone(ish) block, about chest height, with a "help" button on it.

First update will either be in 10-12 hours or 19-24, depending on if I have time.



Also, it has permadeath.
Well, only if there is a waiting list.
And you are revived if you make it back in.

Note: Any manual additions will be in italics.

I'll join!

I call upon an elf-shaped meteor to crash upon the button, pressing it with the utmost force!

As a test with only penguin on the list and no data, the following result came:

penguinofhonor:
6:


Don't expect such luck often.


Edit: with both of your actins in, I did another test run.
Results(no results are there yet)

penguinofhonor:
5:Eats it!

Vaiolis:
2:Calls down a meteor!


Edit again(to keep test runs in one place)

penguinofhonor:
1:Eats it!

Vaiolis:
2:Calls down a meteor!

cowofdoom78963:
5:Starts to meditate!


Seems to be working fine(as if I didn't already know that...)
Now to start making the results and wait for the official first turn.

Okay, I thought you might want to see what I have so far, as far as data files go.

etfbb--Eats it!
mcfii--Calls down a meteor!
M-f----Starts to meditate!
tdduuuuBut you just break your teeth on it.
f------You decide not to.
chhhnmmIt crashes toward you! Dodge roll!
hDDdduuYou are hit quite well. Damage avaidance roll!
nDduuuuYou are nearly avoid being hit, but are anyway. Damage avoidance roll!
m------It passes right by you but doesn't actually hit.
D------You take MASSIVE damage.
d------You have been hurt moderately.
u------You don't sustain any lasting harm.
b------Mo matter how hard you try, you don't manage to harm it.
i------It streaks by your target, barely skimming it.


Edit: more testing shows I am not good at making data files. Maybe a second character for each state would help.

penguinofhonor:
6:Eats it!
1:You start to choke on it!
3:You take MASSIVE damage.

Vaiolis:
1:After a few moments of effort, you manage to swallow it whole!

cowofdoom78963:
5:Starts to meditate!
4:You feel much stronger!


worse was that it was on a 1.

There hasn't been a first turn just yet, that is just me running the program as I enter the data.

I think everything is sorted out, and a program change to the output format.
Perfect sample:
Vaiolis:
Calls down a meteor!
1:It crashes toward you! Dodge roll!
4:You are nearly avoid being hit, but are anyway. Damage avoidance roll!
5:You don't sustain any lasting harm.


I would say that this is a complete success and I await more players or the first OFFICIAL turn. It will be marked with a large bold heading saying turn 1

Wait, could you eventually make this so advanced that we can make our own RTD programs?

I'll join in! I attempt to push the help button. If penguin of honor manages to swallow it, I'll pull it back out by reaching down his esophagus!

I will officially update this  in around 10 hours, giving more people time to join. But I WILL be morking on the data file.

Oh, and I added something to the bottom of the first post.
