Just a short post today. Got a little work to do through family with setting up computers and making backups. Fairly simple stuff but it's time consuming and tedious, and they had no idea to do. Made a bit of money though. Though their DVD burner was not as functional as they said. This took what I thought would be a two hour job and nearly tripled it.
I did manage to get some moderate coding done though while I wait between CD burning. Project Combat Test got a bit of a ideas pushed into it. Added the current list of defensive and offensive options. Not quite liking how I put it in but it's working now. The current options modify your basic attack, more accuracy at cost of damage or other way around, or modify how your defense works. It seems to work in theory but less accurate more damage attacks aren't seemingly doing much though it's niche was attacking low defense creatures. Right now I have a stand in that's a replica of the player so it's very miss or miss on working.
Other than that a bit of crunching of numbers for a friend over at his blog. It's a semi silly Pen and Paper game based on the Japanese idea of sticking random guns and aircraft parts on girls and sending them to fight. I did a lot of formatting of the current alpha PDF and we need to playtest the thing badly. All in all it looks like it could be fun to a few people so a project I'd like to help him finish up. Just wish I had some more time but looks like a few games will finish up soon and we'll get things sorted out.
Its always fun being dragged into family tech support. At least you got something done while waiting.
