    Game

    I'm making a text-based adventure game in which you can buy things, travel to cities, being attacked by bandits with random skill/lvl depending on your lvl. But how can I combine the skills strength, intelligence, agility and the total exp/lvl to make a kind of "damage" variable which can be used in battle? Do you guys have any ideas?

    - Ubuntu 9.04
    - XP

    Rather then a single damage variable each should affect certain things individually, as well as be a damage variable. Like intelligence increases the max (critical) damage you can do, agility decreases the chance of a hit being landed on you, and strength increases hp.

    As for the variable you could do it something like this
    Damage_Factor = 1.0 + Strength * 0.04 + Intelligence * 0.06 + Agility * 0.08

    Remeber to use a class for the player and enemy. Use a constructor to implement and action the variables, General idea I used for my Flymo game:


    Code:
    class Player
    {
    public:
    Player( Hp = 100, Mp = 0, Expi = 1, Score = 0 );
    
    private:
    int m_hp;
    int m_mp;
    int m_expi;
    string m_name;
    long m_score;
    };
    
    Player::Player (Hp, Mp, Expi, Score);
    {
    hp = Hp;
    mp = Mp;
    expi = Expi;
    score = Score;
    }
    Just an idea, you do not have to use this example, but I found it effective in the game
    I made. There may be some errors in the code above but you get the general idea

    I haven't learnt classes yet, I use structs instead. It works fine for me.
