Little maze thing with silly creature generator
« on: September 22, 2019, 04:56:55 pm »
taking my maze, or rather labyrinth, generator from https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=848.0 and added a creature generator based on a very simplistic mechanism using Nouns, Adjectives, and Verbs to make some bizarre results. Some times they don't make sense but other times they can be very amusing, larger lists would improve this of course but I just wanted to see if I could even pull it off so the lists used are very short.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. 'on demand random retraceable maze

the seeming random number printed after the attack description is the ID value of the monster, its for debugging purposes. the number at the bottom of the screen is how many monsters were generated(-1) no interactions yet just amusing possibilities!

To actually move ahead with this idea I will need to fix my variable naming and make things much more clear, as it is I just threw this together rather hastily. not even sure of my spelling with the Nouns, Adjectives, verbs, or weapon names.

I think Steve's Rogue-like game would be very amusing using this type of principle for the monsters\creatures. A little extra logic would keep things like "it can gnaw with whip-like tail' from happening. though at times it can give a laugh. Which in a way was my point to begin with. but for a more serious minded use some logic would go far.
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!

Can someone show me what the display is meant to look like? My display is weird. See attached. The default font, on the Linux version of QB64, is lucon.ttf. Originally, according to "display" via "Options", the font was located in "c:\windows\fonts\lucon.ttf". I have installed lucon and pointed "Display" to the fonts location but my IDE and Console display of the game characters are still messed up. Could some please instruct me on how to correct this problem?

Much appreciated.

Hi Johnno,

Here is snap of my first screen in silly creature generator:

It looks like you need the old DOS ASCII set of characters that had lines and corners key codes for making boxes with single and double lines.

Modified to display corners with "+". Top/bottom wall segment "-". left/right wall segments "|" and doorways with "*".

It isn't pretty but it works... lol
