Progress seems to be slowing down, or at least visible progress has. I revamped the talents page tonight and set up a new array (similar to the skills array) to handle that data. I may have to switch over to doing those as parallel arrays, which would reduce some of the string-to-integer calculations. I'm having […]
Tonight was a a fairly massive, but under-the-hood, update. I removed all of the skills variables and replaced them with an array. This made every variable of the skill accessible from my skills form page, and updated skill names are now working. I need to revamp the reset button to reset everything back to the […]
I revamped skills again, and have converted all of the labels to links. The links now open the skill forms with a field for Name, Characteristic and Description. I have it pushing the skill name from the main form to the subform, but am having trouble pushing it back if I make a change. I'm […]
I made some major changes today, mostly with the layout. I've changed the form dimension to 683 x 768. This layout will snap to one half of a 1366 x 768 monitor, but should still have plenty real estate for larger monitors. It's still ugly, but I'm not sure how much control I have over […]
Really starting to have fun with this. I added a temporary talent pyramid, though I don't like how it looks at all (mostly, it's the links). I'll work on that some more during the coming week. Also added in a screen for the user to populate talent information. FrancisI should probably add something here. landwarinasia.net
Looks like I've scrapped the plan to implement one new concept per week. Flipped way ahead in my textbook, did some google searches, and added in some new pop-out windows for the skills and talents pages. I haven't decided how I want to build out these pop-out windows yet, so they are likely to see […]
Couldn't help myself, and did some more work on this tonight. I figured out how to make a sub species drop down that populates based on the species drop down. Next up, I need to add lists for skills and abilities so I can display those, and I'd like to integrate a dice roller app. […]
I dropped my existing code into a new project and changed out the text boxes for characteristics with + and - buttons. These now update both the characteristic value and the remaining XP value. I still need to add constraints, which I could do with existing knowledge, but we learn some other ways to constrain […]
Made some progress, added a switch statement and a dropdown for species. I haven't gotten the "Update" button to actually save results. Rather, it's set up right now to give the default values for a starting character of the selected species. I also need to add a dropdown for sub-species that is restricted by Species. […]
