Batch Terminal Strategy Game

[1k1lljoy]

I am making a strategy terminal game for a project. This is going to be a turned based game but I have no idea where to start on a specific function I am thinking of. The function is that you have many different troops to attack with in your army, however you can only attack with 2 kinds of troops per turn. Also, when you have attacked with a troop once, I want it to have a cool down for a specific amount of turns, again depending on what kind of troop it is. The question is: how do I make such a complicated function? Is it even possible in batch? I wanted to make it in batch before progressing to python but I guess this is my first problem. Thanks in advance. Here is my code:

You could have a variable that determines which troops are used - a variable can hold the name/number of 2 randomly selected troops, or to hold two troops which are manually entered.

For example you could store the numbers of two troops, and use those numbers in your code:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set attack_troops=4 8
for %%a in (%attack_troops%) do echo using troop %%a to attack with
pause

Another variable for each troop can be used, and decremented on each turn until it reaches zero, when the troop can be used again. All troop variables can be decremented at once in each turn, just include a check so it will not decrement lower than zero.

This is an example of how that counter can be decremented, just displaying how it decrements.
This line handles 30 different troop counters, and 30 can be changed of course.

Code: Select all

@echo off
set troop2_=9
set troop14_=3
set troop21_=0
set troop
pause
for /L %%a in (1,1,30) do for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%b in ('set troop%%a_ 2^>nul') do if %%b gtr 0 set /a troop%%a_-=1
set troop
pause
