Games

For the final week of developing the process pipeline. I copied all the config files, made some databse backups. Upgraded to Drupal 10 and extended the Claro Admin template so I can clean up the paragragh types.

At this stage I can start adding random stats as fields and entities as Content types or Paragragh types. For a level designer I think Drupal makes the perfect content manager.

I've built out the Map-Grids as cities with attributes and unlimited buildings as paragraphs.

I now have
* a game content type: 1 single instance of it per website.
* Map-Grid content types whch are populated by Buildings via paragraphs.
* NPC content types and game Items as content types.

A portal is a particular building type that when touched (collided with) allows transition from one Map-Grid to another. This could be moving inside a building, moving underground or traveling to the next city.

JIGS Journal [Jigs Integrated Game System]
The Goal is to use Drupal to

• host game,
• create map-grids as content types,
• add items to map-grids,
• add NPCs to map-grids,
• add game attributes to user profile
• Use Drupal Groups to implement factions
• Host VueJs pages for the various buildings (form based fields and widgets) that inhabit each map

So today is/was the deadline for entries to http://drupalgamescomp.com -- largely due to a major event in my life (see http://aaronwinborn.com/blogs/aaron/drupal-commuity if you don't already know about it), I've neglected a number of pursuits, including this. However, even though I have done nothing to promote the comp in a few months, there are still some enterprising folks among you who have created some games, or at least stated an intent to.

A little game that uses a real-time broadcast server (meteord-- http://meteorserver.org) to show spectators and players live updates of the game board.

Here's a quick wireframe for a view of games, once that's entered. Feedback please!

For the first Code Craft, let's talk about one of the first things that our game needs to do: turn our user into a player. This not only involves initializing our user into our game world (giving them the unique statistics, objects, or metadata necessary for them to play), but also ensuring they're always "up-to-date", even after we've released new game content that might come with additional statistics or objects.
