Description
DeviantArt doesn't have a category for code, heh.I’m entering all of the equipment data, so I thought I’d share a bit of the process. Here’s an example of the code for one item of equipment. It’s quite verbose but I think it’s reasonably readable this way.
I think I’m coming up with more interesting effects for equips now, and even if they’re not balanced, they will hopefully be fun to try out just for the different effects. Also I’m back to the EBF3 style of upgrades: you don’t know what specials equipment will have until you upgrade it, so it’s a secret again!
The equipment that’s returning from previous games isn’t being changed much stat-wise, but many of them will have slightly different specials this time.

Aaaaaah, the glory, complicatedness, and down right frustrating magic of Coding. Let's just hope you won't spend 30 or something minutes trying to find that one error that's causing something to not work.

Fl... Flash ?! OMG, what a courageous man
Without kidding, i had to do a flash game for school last year, and it was painful.
Respect !

That's an interesting way to instantiate an object. I suppose it makes sense for what you're doing, but have you considered loading from a JSON file? Or is that actually not possible in this particular case?
Well, have fun with that hard-coding!

At first glance I thought this was code "code", but looking closer, it's perfectly understandable even to someone who doesn't read computer code.
I guess outside the values themselves this is the general equipment code. Simple to modify for every piece. (Unless there's more behind the scenes)

I kind of get what's going on... I just don't know the syntax so I can't tell the language.

Good ol' defining objects with a script declaration rather than having to parse a file.

How lucky! I was just in time to catch the news!
The accelerator is getting time magic? Awesome.
But life is more than a series of 1s and 0s bro........You know that right?
I made a number 2 just for you!
No but seriously, how many upgrades are we talking? 1, 3, 10'000?

Judging from the numbers, weapons and armour are going to have 5 levels, as usual.

It is, if you have already done it twice and have a whole bunch of objects to hide all the complex code-work.

The insight into coding it gives... it's invaluable for me, thanks.
(I only learn good from experience.)

This makes coding look a bit more understandable, thank you.

So if the weapons/armor no long get their very unique special at level one... a what level does this gun get it? Where is it in the code? Does this specific gun have it's unique 'slow down' and 'speed up' auto cast at level one???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The list of specials corresponds to each level.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So level 1: slow down auto-cast only, 1/3 chances
Level 2: null
level 3 : speed up auto-cast added, 2/3 chances
Level 4: null
level 5 : Good luck auto-cast on self added, 1/2 chances for 2 turn, for an average of having the effect about every turn.
?? understanding it well?

Upon close inspection I can discern this is not javascript.

Same here. It looks like some kind of simplified Java

if he's doing it in Flash, it's probably Action Script

It could be Haxe, judging on the type declaration.
Now back to lurking...
