Suggestion for the XP tab #269

Open ManicModron opened 8 months ago

ManicModron commented 8 months ago

One of my players mentioned that the XP tab could be easier to use and the rest of my players agreed.

What we would like would be an "Add XP" button that would add XP into the Current XP field and a "Spend XP" button that would move the entered amount from the Current XP field into the Previously Spent XP field.

A field for "Total XP" that added the two fields together would be welcome as well. This would have the XP tab match the character sheet.

Thank you for a very useful app! We do mainly play from our character sheets, but the app is a great way for me to set up encounters and reference what the players have without asking for their sheets in the middle of the game.

My apologies if using the Task buttons isn't the appropriate way to itemize suggestions. I've never used Github before.

I had the idea of the XP log - a way to adjust XP (spend or gain XP) with a date and optional message. This would allow you to type one number to adjust Current and Spent XP and get a history of changes.

So you would get something like:

Date Description Change Current XP
... ... ... ... 120
2023-12-01 Fulfilled my short-term ambition by winning the Altdorf Annual Pie-Eating Contest +50 170
2024-01-01 Moved from Rat Catcher career level to Sewer Jack -100 70

This should work for your use case, right? :slightly_smiling_face:

No worries, the task list is fine for this :+1: I generally treat issues as the whole thing and split it into other issues if necessary, so no need for special care when formatting the issue description. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah, that sounds like just what we were asking after. A total XP field would still be awesome, because of Doomed humans and Long Term Ambitions needing to know how much half the gathered XP is, but a full log sounds awesome.

Thank you again for your app as well as being a responsive developer!
