res_mgmt
A resource management game framework
TODOs
- Modeling
- Creating a basic model with 3-4 resources and a few technologies
- Describing the actions
- Adding an API
- Adding an administration API
- Adding a basic UI and a basic configuration as an example
- Stretch goal - adding a system to verify the balance of the resources when the game run
- Stretch goal - placing element on a map and require stuff to move from one to the next
Modeling
- Costs are given in amounts of resources
- Time is given in units of time to be normalized (turn, s, ms, ns, ... whatever)
Basics
- Resource
- Technology
- Worker
Buildings
All buildings have:
- required technology
- required buildings
- construction cost
- construction time
- capabilities
- number and type of building workers
- maximum number of instances (-1 is infinite)
Capabilities
- Storage (resources)
- Producers (resources in, resources out, production time, workers)
- Mine (resources out, production time, builders required, capacity)
- Lab (technology, required technologies, research cost, research time)
- Recruitment (worker, required technology)
- Housing (capacity)
Upgrade
- Same content as a building
More on Capabilities
Each resource capability can have 3 steps:
- Putting things in the common stock (Storage puts everything back in the common pile)
- Using the stock (Producers take from the common stock and put the result of their production in the stock)
- Storing back
