Enhancement guide #139

Open nuqz opened 5 years ago

nuqz commented 5 years ago

Hello, everyone. First of all I want to thank @romovs for Amber client enhancements.

I have a few ideas for automating routine actions, for example, sorting stockpiles (separate worms from the soil). Also it would be great to fix buggy pathfinding algorithm. And many other things, which make the game less usable.

In short, I would like to devote a few hours a week to improving the client. The problem is that there is no documentation, and I can only guess where to start. I would like to ask a few examples of how I can implement simple things.

First, I would like to receive the full status of my character - HP, Energy, Will, attributes, inventory contents, equipment and others. The second stage I would like to receive information about the environment - what creatures, trees, objects are within sight. The third stage, I would like to give commands to my character and it would be nice to place them in the menu, for example "Extensions".

I think that if there is documentation, at least for such basic things, it will make client development more accessible for beginners like me. For the very beginnig, you can just point me to a few commits where you implemented similar features, I will try to figure out how it works.

Thanks for attention.
