Miguel, a fair warning: My concept for realizing Gladiator 0.1 is going to be sooooo much simpler than your concept, you'll think I'm not going to make any game, but just a demo. All in accordance to your mantras... ;-) A note of dissent with my friend: I read a lot tonight. I am convinced, that rewriting code is *not* helpful in most cases, if we have code that actually does something. Inserting comments into working code is a much better idea. Only not working, undocumentated code should be rewritten. IMHO. See, I switched to your line, that's how much I trust you... lol... ...goin' to bed now, it's 3:09 in da mornin' *yawn*...

All in accordance to your mantras... ;-) I saw, I added a few elements to make it a bit playable :-D My main concern now is how to tell players that they must wait for fighting but that they can vote the fights. :-) We should award fame too for seeing combats. Also for a second release, I suggest that we add several special hits, or combo hits or whatever that are done at player will and that can hit much harder, but that expose you to an attack a lot. >A note of dissent with my friend: >I read a lot tonight.

Anyway as everything in Arianne, it can be done in a better way in 3 weeks ( see marauroa :-P ) Regards, Miguel Arianne excited developer waiting for Ragnar's VB code to start hacking! _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

I disagree, in so much as one of the central concepts in XP is refactoring, which is rewriting functional code. Code which you don't understand, you refactor. Additionally, it's *much* easier for a developer to write tests for her own code (ideally before writing the code itself), rather than someone else come along later and attempt to understand all the extreme conditions that need to be tested. Many types of comments (though not all), are actually code smells. Of course, I am assuming that we intend to actually practice XP, rather than just claim/plan to do so. Let me know if I'm mistaken; it wouldn't be the first time I'd seen the latter. Just my 1.4822 cents, of course. (Lousy Aussie dollar! :) Matthew |
