Now see, if he even had Stefan on the scripting of it, guaranteed to work. When Stefan's scripting something, Graal moves in unprecedented directions - with Stefan's guidance, Kingdoms got the F2 window and RPG interface, and the engine was expanded towards databases. Without, Kingdoms would be struggling to tokenize serverstrings for everything.
Which is why Graal needs tools. I'd love to work with Stefan making iconic genres -
"This is a basic 2d platformer world. Note the use of shoot2, which allows you to select whether gravity is controlled by y or z, and what the acceleration is of your world: default is 2, the equivalent of earth's 9.8 m/s/s.
This is a basic 2d overworld server. Note the enclosed movement and damage system, which offers some protection from scriptkiddies with a minimum of overhead, and these baddies which are basically just the Kingdoms baddies with the Classic skins.
This is your basic shooter server. Note the new script commands for paralax backgrounds and high-speed collisions with small asteroids. The gmap has also been optimized for preloading, allowing players to zoom across the server as long as they stay on the track."
But it's the nature of things that we only have 1 Stefan, and several Stefans worth of work for him to handle. :-P |
