I am planning to start working on a Tycoon kind of game; you all know Rollercoaster Tycoon I guess. My idea is to create a swimmingpool or, even bigger, a Campingsite tycoon game. With trailers, tents, all kinds of activities, (outdoor) swimming facilities with all kinds of glides etc Now the only problem is that it is just too big to make it on my own. Well, I could spend a year on it, but I'm not patient enough for that I'm afraid.
Is there anyone of you that would like to get involved in this project, as the one that does the coding. I would like to specialize in graphics, especially in isometric graphics. So, anyone?
Yeah it does take a lot of layering. But we got the Layer Object for that
I already came up with a 'script' to give all the tiles of the landscape different Z-values. With the layer object I choose Decrease with Z-values et voila
Hmm, i've always wanted to make a tycoon game, i've just never had the time to do it on my own. I'll help code the simulation things (I'm bad at everything that has to do with graphics).
well, i'll finish the engine before I work on this, don't worry. I'm STILL working on AI, it's just so freaking hard to make AI that isn't complete crap, or for that matter, does anything at all.
Well in battle engines the AI's actually have to figure out when to fight, where to go, what attack to use, and if it should flee. Camping and Swimming AI only involves moving them around and keeping some sort of log of what they've been doing (for thoughts and things), in any case it would probaly be more fun to make than battle AI. I'll at least try it if you want me to.

Tigerworks makes things easy with extensions. Look into this stratagy object.

Yeah, I was going to use that, but the example file that I looked at didn't seem to work. I'll look farther into it.

Have it run through a loop ONCE using every move on every teammate (without it actually doing damage), to give the enemy a basic idea of what moveset is most effective.

I would have thought youd just have an animation of the player running at the monster and attacking if he were to use an attack that involved moving? maybe not?

Dunno what you all are on about, I'm talking about the enemy AI.
