Basic Stuff

A modular text-based combat system that can be programmed in whatever handcrafted/procedural way is needed, for text-based games. I've been developing something like this for a while in various projects and it makes sense to just create a single system as a package and then just import it as needed.

Features will include:

Turn-based combat

Multiple enemies and multiple allies supported, with turn order dictated by a "speed" stat -- the relative layout of these dictates turn order and extra turns as well. More speed means more turns, so it's intuitive as well.

"moves" can be imported for all characters that affect health, create custom status effects, or run events. Chances for individual effects, conditionals and move weights (for anything automatic) are all supported.

A complex props/events/conditionals system based on NIFE (but with amts) that allows for complex custom mechanics. Fixtures can also cause events.

Subroom support for boss fights (see: cave frog) and various nav options therein.

Dodges assigned either via enemy or ally (or both) with varying targeted effects + events potentially

Global event changes that can be assigned at the outset or conditioned.

Highly customizable status effects that also impact stat regeneration / cutoffs or can be triggered by conditions or events.

Optional timing based gauges for attacks and dodges with a variety of options.

A layered equipment system that influences all of the above.

Armor effects
