Great Ideas

No kidding.

Someone recently posted an algorithm for

This of course would depend on how the rest of your game works
but here is some Ideas:
1. Quests consist of OBJECTIVES
2. When all objectives of specific quest is complete
then quest complete
3. Quests could share objectives this way.
4. some pseudocode:
constant info = 1,
initial_discription = 1,
additional_info = 2,
objectives = 2,
object = 1,
action = 2,
result = 3,
I realize this is very general but like I said, I'd have
to know how your general game engine works to be more specific.
> b. Advance the story line.
Right down my alley! I have a fantasy rpg (?) game
I've been working on for some time. About all it consists
of IS the story line. Part of the history is on my web page
(I can't remember the address but look for it in RDS's page).
I have all kinds of story ideas if you need help in this area.
>2. Code to handle NPC's (merchants, barkeeps)
Hmm.. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at it.
>3. Code for all the weapons and spells.
This too would require knowing how your game works.
>4. Random encounters and battles.
Not a problem I think.

Like I said, I'd love to help with the story (line).
linear stories in games just bug me.
I could help make graphics if I got a good editor but I'm
not too good at actually incorporating them into games.
