Any progress for today people?

Once Kaybee makes some test maps, I can code a demo area.

I also may be programming a Monster Based RPG in flash with flixel. I think mkolpnji may be able to help if hes willing.

Ok, sorry I edited my post when I posted the optimal dimensions.

The best size is 16x16 tiles and 15 tiles wide and 11 tall per costume.

I'll implement your map but still, it isn't the optimal size.

Sorry, wasn't home for the entire day.
I'll think about that.

I was wondering why you didn't just do

first elemental mod * second elemental mod

If there is no second element it is set to 1 by default.

Well that's what I get for coding something at 1:00 AM.
Changing.

Lol don't worry mkolpnji, we all have our days when we think our code is awesome but the next day we realize that its junk 

Also, I think you would be good with AS3, you understand the importance of organizing and segmenting scripts which is one of the biggest parts of OOP in AS3. The approach I took to collab monsters is actually pretty similar to the approach I would take in a larger scale flash game, so you should do fine.

If you want to try out flixel use this tutorial
http://www.creativeapplications.net/flash/flixel-2-tutorial-flash-tutorials-games/

It walks you though a simple shooting game, this was the original base for my beetle mania game.

I'll try it, I would have learned flash before if it wasn't it's huge price tag, and here I find a free program to make flash games.

Fixed some bugs and added One Hit KO moves. A test move appropriately named OHKO can be bought in the dojo for 0 money.

I think for the next update, I want to try to make the battle text a variable instead, that way I could have it show up and say "Pokemon" used "move." And other stuff like that.
Also need to add PP and then protect moves and then rewrite the next_state script to include priority in moves...
Basically a bunch of stuff.

Added move priority.
I changed a lot of the code for the next_state script here, but its become a lot more organized now.

The element check broadcast should not create lag, why does it lag?

Well the enemy AI shouldn't cause lag either, it should just pick one of its moves at random which is not resource intensive.

Added in 25 more pokemon just because I felt like it.

Some things to add now:
Make moves type-specific //Should be done sometime soon
Choice of starter (or at least a pikachu or something like that) //Should take 5 minutes, this should be done later

Storyline? //go though 8 gyms, team magnus is evil. There is your story.

Also, would like some maps with the proper dimentions pls

Wait, what do you mean by type-specific?

Moves should have an element, this was the point of putting in elements in the first place. You also have to take account of STAB for the elemental moves.

Oh, moves already do have an element, it's just that most of the test moves are normal-type right now, so it's hard to see any changes. Fire Wave is fire typed though, and will be super-effective on a bunch of the pokemon in the demo.

And yeah, I forgot about STAB, working on that now.

Bulbasaur should not be able to learn a fire type move, (unless it's like sunny day, but I mean fire blast).

Also, you should make moves learned by level up, and only some moves in the dojo...

That's almost impossible to do, because that means I'm going to have to make a list for everyone pokemon detailing what moves they learn at what level.

-Added STAB
-Fixed a bunch of bugs.

One random move from the list of elements sounds good.
