For Ai you wouldn't really need anything major, certain things like randomising certain aspects like damage, missed, dodged, critical hit?? Seeing as it's text based, it isn't going to be any type of free flowing combat most probably it'll be turn-based, & really the basics of a turn based game ...

Correct me if i'm wrong, your making a text-based rpg game. Thatas good BUT then you say 'which is hoping to transcend into 2d'. Firstly, there's a drifference between the two, if you want to make it into a 2d rpg, why start it out as a text based rpg? One or the other.

Good, free open source paint program:

Any lower level language is good for beginners, also as it teaches the basic programming principles.

You have to make they empty object (the table), set the metamethod to __index, then set the metatable.

I am the main Lua scripter for the game, so I'm afraid I do know it. Marcel, you do know Lua, but seriously, clean up your style. You're the only person who's managed to make Lua look ugly. Peter, right? Yeah you've done some nice things in Lua, i like your 'fake battlesystem' i wrote my own turn-b...

C++ For dummies is a amazing book, has all you need & it was only £16. Though i haven't read it all yet myself, Quite a few other good ones around aswell, shame there isn't as many Lua books though (That you can buy from a store in the UK), most things nowadays is online, that is your best bet ...

Haha. Yeah, Lua is pretty popular around these parts. It's sort of like the drug of our developers. You might as well join us, because all the cool kids are doing it. Lol, nice way to describe Lua. The API for PSP though is very Crap. Seriously Its crap Mainly because of Hardware issues but there i...
