So hi ppls.

I'm going to revive the good old Golden Sun Adepts Battle Arena. The one from Formina Sage.

But in order to perform the necessary calculations, I'm going to automate it. But I can't miss anything. The program will be written in TMT pascal. The reason for this is that my knowledge of that language is more extensive and I have already figured out how to create and read files in that language.

Right now here is what I have:

CODE

TYPE psypowers = RECORD
name: STRING[20];
ppCost: INTEGER;
range: ('1','3','5','7', 'all');
targetEnemy: BOOLEAN;
baseDamage: INTEGER;
inflictSatus: ('Damage', 'Haunt', 'Poison', 'Deadly Poison', 'Stun', 'Delusion', 'Psynergy Seal', 'Sleep', 'Downed');
inflictStatChange: RECORD

player = RECORD
name: STRING[20];
element : ('Venus','Jupiter', 'Mars', 'Mercury');
class: STRING[30];
male: BOOLEAN;
maxHP, maxMP, attack, defense, agility, luck: INTEGER;
psynergy: ARRAY[1..100] OF psypowers;

It's not finished like for insted inflictStatChange is still a question mark for me on how I will actually use that.

I've found two guides on battle damage calculation on GameFAQs, but I'm just sure I'm going to miss something.

For those non-programmers out there

RECORD basicly means that the variable of that entity contains fields of those values with the names beneath it.
STRING means a word consisting of letters and numbers.
ARRAY is a row of a certain amount of variables given with it's interval.
BOOLEAN means it's a value either true or false.

What I need you to do is look at range, and InflictStatus and InflictStatsChange if you have ideas on what I can do for this. I'm planning on using a record with the names of the certain stat change. Attack, Defense, Agility and stuff like that.

I am only going to be adding equipment to the list. But that is still a unknown.

I can't really be of any help I fear, but it sounds like an awesome project: good luck!

That shouldnt be too hard to get. -------------------- If I don't clash, I don't change. The world ends at my borders, and the best moments slip away. The world ends with you.
