Text based trading/adventure sim.
** Description CL-Wars is a text based game made for fun, highly inspired by Space Trader, Drug Wars, FTL, Roguelikes, STALKER, WH40k, and many more.
In CL-Wars you are a rogue trader on the edge of an poorly charted and unfriendly galaxy. Ply your wares, capture archeotech, and purge xenomorphs in the fires of your guns.
NOTE: This 'game' is just a playground for me to play with Lisp. It is not a reference for 'good'/idomatic CL software and is not really intended to be useful or playable.
** Systems *** Systems
- Ship Systems/Combat
- TODO:
- Basic combat system, perhaps like battleship
- Basic 'move to new sector' system
- Shields recharge after combat
- System for repairing hull
- Notes:
- Hull Integrity
- When 0 game over
- Repulsor Shield
- Each % of shield integrity reduces damage by some %
- Warp Drive
- How far you can jump per 1 fuel
- Reactors
- Powers warp drive and warp field
- Will always have some power, but if power is too low you with have to jump without a warp field
- Munitions
- Ammo for weapons
- Warp Field
- Jumping without a warp field will have random effects
- Weapons Systems
- Weapons have attributes depending on type
- Plasma Weapon
- High hull damage, low shield damage
- Beam Weapon
- High shield damage, low hull damage
- Explosive Weapon
- Average hull damage, average shield damage
- Money/Economy/Items
- TODO
- [X] Basic buy/sell mechanics
- Stretch - trade interface for 'friendly' ships
- Overhaul buy/sell interface for archeotech specific information
- Stretch - Random $x*$x ASCII image to represent archeotech
- [X] Variable economy between sectors ('random' prices)
- Define how archeotech works (random buffs/characteristics)
- Archeotech display menu
- Notes
- Used to upgrade ship components/crew
- Can trade spice (variable cost in systems), but your crew will consume it based on their happiness
- Can trade archeotech (AT has characteristics that may be desireable to different planetary systems)
- Crew Systems
- TODO:
- [-] Implemention of crew buffs
- [X] Add buff objects
- Resolve buff integration into various systems
- Food
- Moral
- Weapons
- These should be updated on insertion into crew?
- Shields
- Crew consumes gruel on some regular cadence (per action/jump/etc)
- Crew will consume spice (if available)
- Spice increases moral but can be destabilizing to sanity
- Implementation of crew member buff charateristics
- Sanity/Moral (impacted by availability of spice and/or horrors of the warp)
- What happens when these get low?
- Crew members can die (you lose their buff, no other consequence)
- Recruit new crew members at trading stations (cost?)
- Hazard/Boon/Sector System
- TODO:
- Encapsulate sector attrs
- Encapsulate boon/hazard attrs
- Interface for interacting with boons/hazards
- Basic system to jump to new sector
- What happens if you jump with a low power warp shield?
- Notes:
- Each sector contains a hazard and a boon
- A hazard is a combat encounter or some kind of negative event
- The boon is some kind of positive event
- The likelihood of either depends on sanity calculation
- Perhaps flesh out equipment system for 'boon' hunting
