Hi there, I seem to recall someone saying that in Chaos for the spectrum, any creature had a 50% chance of killing a gooey blob or magic fire. Does anyone know...
I didn't think you could kill magic fire or have I been sadly deluded since about 1987 ?? J ... wrote: > ... __________________________________________________...

Ok, so if you can't kill Magic Fire, what's the chance of killing a gooey Blob? :) I already managed to deciper some of that growth stuff Quirky, but I can't ...
Ahh, now I've got you. In "melee" attacks you mean? Gooey Blobs are no different to any other creature in that respect, I thought you meant "while spreading"...

So we now have two different interpretations! :) I couldn't see the defence value for Gooey Blob in your source Quirky. How do you deal with attacking a Gooey...
... I just deal with it like any other creature, it has a defence of 0 given in the spelldata.c file. In movement.c, in the routine make_attack, there are a...
Cool! Thanks guys. So then if I understand you correctly, gooey blob has a defense of 0 + rand(0,9) so, in effect, it's actually the weakest on the board. Then...
Just a couple of points I thought I'd mention regarding fire/blob. "if attack >= defence, do not cover..." So that would mean that the stronger a creature is...
I thought I heard somewhere, that fire does a check gains a creature's defence when it grow, but Blob can just cover any creature without doing a check. That...
Oh I see, thanks Dan. That makes sense as then it give a creature an extra chance to survive fire, which kills it, but not blob as it can still survive that. ...
... There are a couple of extra "dice rolls" for Blob not to spread/whither away and for fire not to spread over a creature, but it is largely the same...
But we still think Gooey Blob has a defence of 0? Because if so I need to change my code! :D ... of 0 ... board. ... routine ... spread/whither away and for...
Thanks Quirky. :) So there is an 80% chance for blob/fire to spread, and a 10% chance for self-destruct (or death), followed by an extra self- destruct saving...
... Yes it does, sorry! Just checked the stats screen. Also, something else I noticed, it is referred to in game as "BLOB", but on the spell selection screen...
Another big update. I've spent a lot of time and a lot of work on this over the last few weeks. I'm glad to see the game is nearly complete. It needs ...

Congrats to you Rich. This is a HUGE improvement to the last version. I think it is now very close to the original, although the AI was far too smart for me. ...
Thanks all! Nice compliments there. :) It's been a lot of work, but has been very good for me in my development as a programmer too. I hope that people enjoy...
Its exactly a year to the day since my computer crashed and production ceased (As things would happen I then went into town to get a quote for a new one from...

Might do. Problem is I've already got a remake of HotT from the past. This is a complete rewrite (A remake of a remake!) but I'm not sure it will be allowed......
Hi Rich, Your chaos funk is loooking fantastic, good work. Continue with the remake (chaos players need it). When finished I would recomend you add a setup...
The WiP of Turmoil is in the files section. This is all very hush hush and not for release. If you take Dan's version (It is about 60- 70% Dan's code even),...
I just want to add my "well done" to the list. Well done Rich! :) The effort you've put in shows, it's really polished and playable. Works lovely on my humble...
