<i>Miller's quest</i> developer documentation
This is the rdoc-generated documentation for <i>Miller's quest</i>.
The most important parts of the whole mess are as follows:
- The main loop, which resides in millerquest.rb.
- The adventuring, which is defined pretty well in the Adventure module (lib/adventure.rb). This defines most of the day-to-day life of our intrepid adventurer. This is tied pretty well to the task system described below.
- Equipment system (lib/equipment.rb) and the DamageType and Material systems (lib/typesandprops.rb).
- Task system (lib/task.rb) - Tasks are things that the player does.
These are subclassed from the main Task class.
For example, you can watch the plot unfold (PlotTask), or kill a
monster (FightTask). They're then done by calling the Task#complete
method of the object. Currently available tasks:
- PlotTask - for simple procedures that can't really be messed up. good for advancing the plot.
- TravelTask - Moves the player between the town and the killing fields.
- FightTask - Combat the baddies!
- MerchantSellTask - Sells stuff to the merchant at the town.
