Dannic, The Prince of Cats

Posted by Dannic on December 30th, 2006 in The Broken Shard

I know it has been quite some time since I even looked at this code.  I have definitely learned a lot about php and ajax since I started on the project.

Currently it isn’t much more than a chat server.  If you have logged in you may have already noticed this.  But I am working on character creation at the moment.

The character creation process is rather involved.  It may sound fairly easy but coming up with all of the stats for the various races and making it work without too many different files is something of a task.

As of writing this post, you will be guided through various steps of character creation.  Gender and Race are the easiest ones to do.  Next comes Stat generation.

Stat generation will be dependent on Race and Gender.  Some stats will be modified depending on gender.  Each gender has its advantages and disadvantages over the other.  Of course they may not be evident at first glance.  But some stats are boosted after they are generated and some are lowered after they are generated depending on the gender of the character you are creating.

Of course, each race has different range for each stat as well.

This is where I am.  Creating each of the different races stats.

Current list of races are as follows:

• Wood Elf
• Dwarf
• Felyne
• Half Elf
• Halfling
• Human

For now, that is what I will be working on until the game has some playable content.

I hope to have the creation process complete by the end of the holiday weekend or sometime around the 2nd of January.
