Post Apocalyptic Political Game

Maybe. Although how and why would animals and human have mixed? Maybe because a radioactive gene allowed them to. I do like the idea of animal attribute coinciding with the type of animal you come from but I don’t want that to be the focus of the game.

If you want, I could help with the programming. I’m much better at that than writing anyway (as some of you may remember from my failed pirate book a few months ago)

This is the best offer I could have hoped for because I have it written in my head but don’t know how to code.

How would you like to communicate about it?

@FGF it is ok for me to offer to code for him, right? I know he’s not supposed to be asking but still…

@Beezlebub maybe the surving HUMANS had animals in there bunkers so maybe there would be non mutated animals and if your a regular human you could have a pet of your choice

I’m going to strongly suggest that the best help you can have for coding, is to learn how to code it yourself.

If @TheIslandOfArria is willing to help, it can be useful to have someone to run your code by and to show you how to do things, but ultimately you should aim towards learning how to code yourself.

I know that it’s difficult. I had a terribly tough time when I was starting out. Nothing made sense. I was ready to quit. I didn’t understand anything. It’s worth it though if you persevere. It means that your game relies on you and just you.

Ask @Samuel_H_Young he came onto the forums asking for a coder. He got a coder, the same coder a few projects had, and unfortunately when a coder leaves it means that those writers are scrambling to work out what to do next.

Writing things and sending them to a coder also takes more time. It makes things more difficult to tweak.

I bet @Samuel_H_Young was initially frustrated when rather than doing the coding for him, I tried to explain how to do it himself. That initial learning curve is steep, especially if you’re clueless about coding. But you get over it, you will eventually be able to code far easier. I’ve been learning things from Samuel now. :slight_smile: He coded one thing far simpler than I would have recently.

Anyway you can code! There’s a few choice games who use very, very simple code. Choice of the Dragon and Choice of the Ninja are the two that come to mind.

Most likely but they were down there for at least a year and didn’t leave till their supplies ran out so they probably ate them. There are non mutated humans and animals on the surface regardless as there are some animals and humans that have a gene that allowed them to not mutate from radioactivity. Also please FGF let me accept his help I’m in over my head when it comes to that stuff.

@TheIslandOfArria Yep, it’s okay for you to offer to code. Offering to code is fine. It’s just asking for coders that isn’t.

I know what you mean FGF Choice of the dragon is one of the best CoG’s and is extremely simple but I need to spend a lot of time writing this game and I think I should learn to code after I finish this game. TIOA can you work on this long term with me? I don’t plan to abandon it like many other people have done with theirs. And I think we should communicate on this page or through PM’ing ( Private Messaging ) if the CoG forums have PM’ing.

@Beezlebub Definitely accept his help if you need it. I would suggest not using his help to write all of the code for you though. Look at the code he writes and try to understand it. Ask questions. Ask for code with plenty of comments to explain why he’s doing what he’s doing. When you see your writing getting coded up learn, and then try to do it yourself. It can be really useful to have someone show you how it’s done, but if you’re doing it yourself you’ll be far quicker.

@BeezleBub I’ll try and teach you as we go along
Edit: @FGF beat me to it

That’s definitely what I am going to do I don’t want him to do it for me just to lead me through it and explain things to me when I don’t understand. This can also be an equal partnership between me and him as I haven’t hashed out all the details yet but have a general story line, and he has the coding skill. So it works out perfectly. :smiley:

@Beezlebub what…? why would they eat them??? @-) id rather come up to the surface and take my chances :stuck_out_tongue:

Alright so would you like me to send you my Introduction and then the actual storyline TIOA?

Sure how though? Pm me? If you do I’ll send you my email so you can get things to me easier.

Well they wanted to have the best chances of not being mutated or affected by the radioactivity and nuclear fall out, so they probably tried to stay in the bunker as long as possible. Even so many of the people were mutated when they left the bunker. This is how it will work in the game the more mutated you are the more powerful you will be personally. The less mutated you are the higher social standing you will have and thus more political power. So there are two ways to do this start a rebellion probably of mutants or being charming and use your influence to gain a position of power.

Sounds good. How do I PM you though?

Never done it on here. @FGF can you help him?

@Beezlebub ok… but if they eat them raw they’ll get poisened and most likely die :-/
