colorsandcookies's Issues

Slime HP Math

Create formula for Slime HP.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Create formula that scales from Level 1 to Level 99.

Character Attack Functions

Run attack function based on criteria including user level & attack upgrades.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Run upon either clicking or an automated attack running
• This will decrease slime HP
• Based on formula in #issuedoesnotexist

Implement Gold

Users will get gold from gold-getting formula for killing slimes (see other issue). Users will spend gold on upgrades (see other issue). This ticket is just about implementing a gold management situation.

Add to the gold state, remove from the gold state. Keep it on screen, and change it whenever it needs to be changed.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Gold updates when getting gold or losing gold

Automated Attack Math

Create a formula to determine how frequently the automated attack will run. This will depend on equipment bought with gold (See other issues).

Acceptance Criteria:

• Formula exists for how the speed math is handled for each character.

Click to Drub Slimes

This is the main UI functionality for the app.

Acceptance Criteria:

• User can click Drub button
• Attack function runs (See issue #2)

Upgrade UI

Create a table or table-like UI front for upgrades.

This should be a reusable component with which to render all currently available upgrades.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Currently available upgrades display on screen

Generate Slime On Death

Create a function that generates a new slime each time the user destroys the slime.

Acceptance Criteria:

• When app starts, the first slime is there.
• Each subsequent slime gets generated based on Slime Math (Issue #12) each time one dies.

Create formula for attack function

What does attacking involve, mathematically? Do research, test out numbers, and figure out exactly what it is (no coding involved).

Acceptance Criteria:

• Scalable attack formula from level 1 to level 99

Buy Upgrade

Create function that will buy upgrade. This should be reusable for any upgrade.

Acceptance Criteria:

• When clicking "Buy Upgrade" button, gold should deplete.
• Upgrade should move to Upgrades Already Bought

Completed Upgrades UI

Create a UI similar to that in issue #9, but for completed upgrades. Users will be able to see the details of upgrades they have already bought.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Upgrades that have already been bought are seen
• Should include details of exactly what was gotten from those upgrades

Automated attack function

Create function around the attack function that will run on an automated time period. Automated time period is set by the automated time period math. (See issue #doesnotexist)

Acceptance Criteria:

• Automated function should run at appropriate times
• Eg. When 2nd Party Member attacks, automated attack function runs
• Automated attack math should be different for each character (stored in state).

Slimes Gold Math

Create a formula that gets the correct amount of gold from killing a slime. This should scale appropriately with upgrades.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Formula created.
• Works at Level 1 and Level 99.

Think about upgrades

I need to think through the upgrades and plan them out based on stealing ideas from other games.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Full list of upgrades
• Price and when they show up
