Main planning chat, I guess

[PoolloverNathan]

What are you planning on this game having? Are you planning on it being a pixelated/retro game or a high-quality graphics game? Are you planning on it being 2D or 3D? Are you planning to have multiplayer, and if so, will there be claims and/or PVP? Are you planning on having medieval-looking machines?

I'm a swiss-army programmer, I guess.

[PoolloverNathan]

Idea if it's multiplayer: Players give birth to a kingdom upon first joining, and the area belonging to that kingdom is delimited by fences on the map.

@project-lulo

[itsLumalo]

Well im really into idle/incremental games recently, if you are familiar to the game trimps it is going to be similar to that. hence the name Midivle a combonation of Mideval and idle

[itsLumalo]

Btw any idea why when you press space the text does not change like the javascript says it is supposed do

[PoolloverNathan]

I found the problem, but I don't remember what it was. Anyway, it's fixed in #5.

[PoolloverNathan]

Also, I had an idea to make it different from Trimps: have an actual world map that you build your buildings on instead of just clicking them into existence.

[itsLumalo]

that would be cool

[PoolloverNathan]

Should I work on making this game work offline?

[itsLumalo]

Does localStorage not work offline?

[itsLumalo]

And I was also thinking if I did do a world map I feel like that would be too similar to the game Clash Of Clans so maybe we want to do something differant.

[itsLumalo]

But I still need to come up with an idea for a spin on it, also I am going to start to work on the UI for the actual game, are there any browser editors that are pretty good

[PoolloverNathan]

localStorage works offline, but by default you can't actually load the website offline. I usually use Piskel for pixel-art textures, and Google Draw for HQ textures.

im always happy to help btw! i havent made my own game yet though so I want to learn. Maybe as a twist yall could add a crown that when a huge empire leader is offline, you could take the crown. People would guard it though.IF you get the crown, you own the empire

[Co1t0n]

so even if you join late, you have a chance of getting to the top. And if youjoin early, you have to keep playing to stay powerful

[PoolloverNathan]

I don't know if @project-lulo is planning on it being multiplayer.

[Co1t0n]

ohhh I thought it was online sorry

[PoolloverNathan]

idea: instead of a sequential battlefield the world map has briars by default (and a 7x7 starting square of open space) and clicking on those briars will start a battle with a "random" enemy derived from the xy position

[PoolloverNathan]

Also wanted to mention this beautiful piece of code in my fork:

// DO NOT MODIFY, CHANGE, OR ALTER LINES 1-3.

[itsLumalo]

I want to get the base of the game down first and then I think I want to add multiplayer

[itsLumalo]

but making the game is the top priority

[Co1t0n]

mhm

[PoolloverNathan]

trying my best not to laugh at some code added in b8697d65...

67 if (confirm("Only use if page is not loading!") == true) {

[itsLumalo]

is it bad or smth lol

[PoolloverNathan]

1. You compared the output of confirm (which always returns true or false) to true
2. ...in an if statement, which automatically checks if it is true.

[itsLumalo]

Oh lol

[PoolloverNathan]

is it ok if I add React to this project? It lets you declare what to render instead of having to change what you are currently render

[PoolloverNathan]

It's also pretty easy-to-use if you know how to write a function

[itsLumalo]

yeah sure you can add it

[PoolloverNathan]

ok, i think we should deploy through github actions so we can automatically have our code changed on the real server (e.g. to be more performant)

[itsLumalo]

I think it already is

[PoolloverNathan]

It's currently deployed by the implicit action, which can't be modified. I'm writing an action to e.g. allow switching between development and production versions of libraries depending on context.

[PoolloverNathan]

Thoughts on the map border?

[PoolloverNathan]

fullsize version

[itsLumalo]

I dont really want to do the map because as I said earlyer I feel like it is going to end up like a copy of clash of clans

[Co1t0n]

I can make the map! im not good at game dev but i can do art

[itsLumalo]

I said I dont want to do the map

[Co1t0n]

ohhh

[itsLumalo]

It will be to much like clash of clans

[Co1t0n]

also think you can get me some coding help should be a quick question

[itsLumalo]

i can try

[Co1t0n]

alright so im tyring to make an iframe of a prompted site open in the site you click the bookmarklet on (if you do it in google drive, it opens the iframe there) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74519068/ive-been-trying-to-make-the-prompted-site-run-in-an-iframe-but-idk-how this is the fourm question

[itsLumalo]

Hmm i never really use IFrame but i can try to see if i can figure it out, might take me a couple of minutes

[Co1t0n]

ok

[Co1t0n]

so the current glitch is that is

1. opens a new tab of the requested site
2. opens the frame on the site you entered in , not in the site you clicked the bookmark on

[itsLumalo]

I have no idea I never really use Iframe, maybe if you edit you stack overflow question and giver more detail someone might understande

[Co1t0n]

alright maybe @PoolloverNathan might know? but thanks!

[itsLumalo]

yeah he is way better then me

[PoolloverNathan]

@Co1t0n I tried to fix it, but it might not work.

[PoolloverNathan]

Also can you rename Co1t0n/forkandspoonit.github.io to something else? It is name-blocked at school.

[Co1t0n]

yeah, the forkandspoon thing is a dead project sorry
