ews 0.1

The 1d6 RPG backend module provides character management and interaction.

Info: http://1w6.org

The ews (“Ein Wuerfel Sytem” is german for “One Die System”) is a free rpg backend which covers char interaction and char management -> http://1w6.org.

Chars have attributes, abilities, edges/flaws, equipment and battle values (directly derived from the attributes and abilities).

Usage from command line:

• None yet.

Examples:

• None yet.

Use-Cases:

• Creating Chars

  Create and print a char from a tag-string

  >>> from char import Char
  >>> tag_string = "tag:1w6.org,2008:Human"
  >>> char_from_tag = Char(source=tag_string, template=False)
  

  template=False says: Go with the name inside the stored file or (if None is avaible) in the tagstring.

  Else it would create a new name for it.

  TODO: Change the default to template=False (some checking of other libs necessary for that)

  >>> print char_from_tag
  Name: Human
  Sprache: Esperanto
  

  TODO: Create a char from a char dict.

  TODO: Print location of character file.

• Combat

  Create two chars and let them fight one round.

  >>> char1 = Char()
  >>> char2 = Char()
  >>> print char1.wounds, char2.wounds
  [0, 0] [0, 0]
  >>> char1.fight_round(char2)
  >>> result = (char1.get_battle_result_values(), char2.get_battle_result_values())
  >>> # Gives TP and wounds for Char 1 and 2
  

  Let the two chars fight a battle with the one roll battle system.

  >>> char1.fight_one_roll_battle(char2)
  >>> result = (char1.get_battle_result_values(), char2.get_battle_result_values())
  >>> # Dict for char1 and for char 2
  

  TODO: Fight a whole battle with the complex battle system.

• Attributes

  List all attributes. If the char has None, print a single space.

  >>> char1.attributes
  ' '
  

• Skills and checks

  List all skills. If the char has None, print a single space.

  >>> char1.skills
  {'Nahkampf': {'Grundwert': 12, 'Striche': 3, 'Zahlenwert': 12}}
  

  Do a skill test (default target number is 9)

  >>> print "Do we manage to cook a nice meal?"
  Do we manage to cook a nice meal?
  >>> result = char1.check_skill("cook")
  

  Do a skill test against another target number.

  >>> print "Do we manage to cook an exceptional meal?"
  Do we manage to cook an exceptional meal?
  >>> result = char1.check_skill("cook", MW=18)
  

  TODO: Check how good we manage something.

  TODO: Check if we manage to make a roll and how good we manage it.

• Competition (skill vs. skill and similar)

  TODO: Let two chars compete for one round.

  TODO: Let two chars do a full competition.

• Equipment

  Get the current equipment of the char.

  >>> for i in char1.equipment: print char1.equipment[i]
  {'Stoffkleidung': {'Name': 'Stoffkleidung', 'Schutz': 1}}
  {'Waffenlos': {'Name': 'Waffenlos', 'Schaden': 1}}
  >>> # TODO: Fix to make it nicer to use.
  

  Get the current combat equipment of the char (armor and weapon).

  >>> char1.weapon
  {'Name': 'Waffenlos', 'Schaden': 1}
  >>> char1.armor
  {'Name': 'Stoffkleidung', 'Schutz': 1}
  

  TODO: Change armor and weapon (and weapon skill).

  TODO: Get the current clothes of the char.

  TODO: Change the current clothes of the char.

• Improving Chars

  Improve a char by a 3 points at random (about the value to get for one gaming session in a hreo setting).

  >>> char1.upgrade(3)
  

  Upgrade with a weighted list of attributes and skills which could be improved additionally to known skills and attributes.

  >>> char1.upgrade(3, object=("weighted", [("attribute",  "sensitivity", 1), ("skill", "cooking", 2)]))
  

  Upgrade a specific skill or attribute.

  >>> char1.upgrade(3, object=("skill", "talking senslessly"))
  

  # TODO: Add attibute explicitely.

• Saving Chars

  Save the changed (wounded but improved) Char as new template.

  Commented out, because this creates new files.

  >>> # char1.name = char1.amov.tagname
  >>> # char1.save()
  

  Save the changed Char as a new char and get the new tag to call it again.

  Commented out, because this creates new files.

  >>> # tagstring = char1.amov.tagstring_without_name + char1.name # The tag to call the char
  >>> # char1.save()
  >>> # char1_again = Char(source=tagstring, template=False)
  

• Finishing Chars off :)

  And in the end: Die

  >>> char1.die()
  

Plans:

• Change char file format: an empty dict shoulnd’t be represented by “ “ anymore, but by {} (the real yaml represenation of an empty dictionary).
