Been doing a lot of misc work today, including fixing a couple bugs by letting 3 friends test the game.
Turn-generation
I'm still working on making a proper "turn-generation", meaning every day for example the game's gonna have to generate income/outcome for all the registered users and so forth. Since I recently added the ability to upgrade units, I had to make some changes to the generation part of the game. It's still not finished, but at least I'm getting there!
Upgrading units/buildings
Yeah, still working with this one, but I'm pretty much done now.
Technologies
Went well, successfully added some technologies for me to play around with in the code.
Explorers
Right.. This is probably one of the trickiest units my game features atm. They will allow you to write /explore a set amount of times each 'game day' and allow you to find new resources to harvest (food, gold, wood, stone). Exploring will also offer a lot more, like being able to find enemies (which are other members), secret hideouts containing technology for buildings and units, abandoned farms, scavengers, and so forth. I managed to get some work done, but I still have some left to finish before it's a wrap.
Confirmation
So yeah, I want to add the ability to confirm certain commands. Pretty much the bot saying "Are you sure you want to do this and that? (y/n)" and you answer it. I can imagine clearly in my head how I will do it, I just haven't gotten around to do it yet.
Misc
The game is starting to get somewhere, and other than that, I have now decided that I will add a completion list on this project page, showing what I have left to finish and how much I've accomplished on it.
No screenshots this time, sorry. But if you want to hear something interesting, my bot actually has a feature that allows it to be in group chats, and by writing /subscribe in that chat (provided you're the creator of that chatroom), the bot will announce when people are attacking each other and other cool things that I'm planning to make use of in the future.
