Game Projects

!!=green Saving * Have a coq_player database table that contains your full loc, letters and wildcards and also scanning functionality. * Any time you move and stop moving (like how it works in the hub game), update this table. * Same deal with the inventory, except it's automatic. * Same deal with scanning functionality. * On pageload, pull the data in. * Pull the saving link out of Pouch. This set of checklists will get the engine itself up to a full version 1. I can then work on making the procedural space more interesting and integrating lore/story as well as general cleanup to push this project out the door.

!!=red Misc things as I play with the engine * The book itself seeds the weights of different word lengths and the likelihood of starting with a C or V and also weighs consonants/vowels differently. * More scanning functions: scan everything nearby to see the languages therein, scan all books in a room to see the book props. And I guess also stuff on other layers if it's actually relevant. I am thinking maybe the amounts of vowels/consonants and c2/v2 chosen are based on some other layer. * There should be letter transformers scattered around the city, however they should be random input/output and also kinda absurdly expensive (5 --> 1). Some letters like h are unusually hard to get. This can tie back into scanning. * Daily (weekly? Depends on how hard this is) word targets of 3 or 4 letters that grant a bunch of extra wildcards. You have to find that specific word, which realistically is going to require scanning tech. * Letters that you have 0 of should be indicated differently than those with amts in your inventory, which should be more highlighted. * "Twisted Tongues" is a good name for the project. Except the overlap with other media makes this kinda annoying. Basically any modded phrase with "tongue" will work however. Could also pick something out of the Lore to use as a title. * The words database is missing some words, with "pet", "them", "our" and "yep" being the most egregious so far. Actually pronouns seem to be missing in general -- also can't find "her" or "its", which means "it" also doesn't work. May want to re-curate it. * There should be an api resource (available in pouch) that lets you see 3-4 letter words that contain a specific letter(s), constrained by page. * You should be able to fully reset your progress. This is probably a good idea as you start to run out of easy words if you (or the community at large) still know where everything is.

!!=green Scanner Checklist An improved version since the old version needs more detail. * Alter it so it scans the entire building. * Alter it again so it scans floors within a certain range around your current floor. * And then alter it so it scans rooms within a certain range around your current room. * Spit out the information below as "Room X, Floor X" (if relevant). * Cap it to the N entries closest to you (starts at 2). * Cap the input to a certain length both on the input and in the JS, starting at 6 I guess. !!=green Scanner Upgrading Honestly idk what metric to use here on starting cost and growth, this will work for now. May definitely need balancing later however. [table top] Level | Scan capabilities | Upgrade Cost Level 1 | 10 rooms | [i]Free[/i] Level 2 | 30 rooms | 7 Level 3 | 60 rooms | 14 Level 4 | Entire floor | 28 Level 5 | also the two floors nearest you | 56 Level 6 | 5 floors | 100 Level 7 | 10 floors | 200 Level 8 | 30 floors | 400 Level 9 | 60 floors | 600 Level 10 | Entire building | 800 [/table] * Code this table out. * Have an upgrade scanner range (X) link, where X is the cost. * This does what you'd expect. I'll need a different version when I beef up the scanner capabilities but I'm not gonna be there until the procedural generation is more interesting. * Word length can go up by 2 at a time with a cost of 20 wildcards each, and can be extended infinitely. Make a link for it that works. * The amount of displayed entries goes up by 2 at a time with a cost of 20 wildcards each, again extended infinitely. Make a link for this as well. !!=green Scanner use * Display your wildcards at the top. * Scans cost 5 wildcards, but only if they return something.

!!=red Misc * You should be able to bring the acan cost down by 1 until it hits 0, this Costa 10, 20. 30, 40 then finally 50 wildcards. * you should have a different function to scan a custom building or floor, and this only returns true if it finds at least 1 match but doesn't say where, then you have to actually go there to figure it out. Also has a cost but doesn't trigger if no match, and then also is upgradeable in the same way but shares the cost decrease. * Letters change to wildcards on a 2:1 basis, and something will let you turn 5 wildcards into a letter of your choice -- this ends up being 2x as worse as letter transformers, but it's more consistent.
