RE: [Algorithms] Linear level up - Turn based strategy games.

Hehe, your knight can never be too strong ;p
=20
Just exagerated examples to show the difference between levels.

Perhaps what you are looking for is a weighted normalization function?
=20
E.g. say that  a class level/stat group should always sum to 1 but with
different weights for different classes?

Hi!

Yes, I already had modifiers set up for each class. So, I already have
different growth for each Unit stats, but the results are a bit =
"bizarre" =3DD
In other words, the 1.8 modifier applied on knight's strenght makes them =
TOO
strong with just some levels =3DD
=20
I thought there was some kind of standard to deal with this... a
mathematical parameter for modifiers, where they could be applied only =
to
ensure priority for one stat, instead of solely boosting it up... For =
the
given example, Strenght, you are raising it by at least 80% at each =
level
up. Too much!

Even so, thanks for helping out =3DD

What about assigning modifiers per stat for each class?

Simple example:



ClassStatModifier
{
float strength;
float magic;
...
};

ClassStatModifier KnightClassLevel1 =3D
{
strength =3D 1.8;
magic =3D 0.0;
...=20
};

ClassStatModifier WizardClassLevel1 =3D
{
strength =3D 1.1;
magic =3D 1.8;
...
}

ClassLevelUps[ CLASS_COUNT ][ LEVEL_COUNT ];

// populate with all level entries for each class
...=20

void levelUp( Unit unit, int preyLevel )
{=20
...

ClassStatModifier *m =3D &ClassLevelUps[ unit.getClassID() ][
preyLevel ];

unit.strength *=3D m->strength;
unit.magic *=3D m->magic;
...
}

Hi,

I'm developing a turn-based strategy game, in which Units have classes
(Wizard, Knight) that affect their basic stats on level up.

After a quick search for techniques, I've found a bit of information on
linear level up - a technique where you give bonus to stats based on the
delta level between the Unit leveling up, and the Unit being killed.

But there are a set of modifiers to be applied in this calculation. A
Knight, when he levels up, will gain a much better bonus on his Strength
stat than a Wizard. Pretty simple concept, but I'm stuck on the
implementation.

Can someone give me a hint on a good solution? Currently, my UnitClass =
class
stores the modifiers, and it has the following method:

levelUp(Unit unit, int preyLevel)

where the Unit's stats are updated.

I'm using Java, but all I want is pseudo-code. ;)

Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo.
