Title: [Request] Battle Flow Chart?
Post by: shintashi on June 15, 2011, 04:51:13 PM
I often get lost in the code. It sometimes takes days to sort out where an action is coming from.

I was hoping someone could come up with a flow chart, or set of flow charts explaining the start to finish of various actions in battle. I think this would be tremendously helpful. I was going to start working up such a thing this week with hand drawn boxes colored with markers.

Here's an example of a typical problem:

From the time the battle screen loads, to the time your first actor successfully attacks and it moves on to the next actor, enemy, or combat round, what's happening? What classes and methods are being used and in which order?

This kind of flow chart would be useful for changing the way battle works or for expanding new options.
