Revamped a bunch of the drawing code. Now it's ready for the save feature.

Hey guys, looks like it's going to take a bit more work with saving. Turns out that the saving method I created only supports saving NSObjects. Ints, floats, CGPoints, BOOLs, all don't work. So I gotta save things manually instead of just dumping the whole load in a save game file.

So far the saving feature does work but it only saves the player. It doesn't save npcs, items on the ground, ect. So if you kill a monster, it drops an item, you quit the app, reopen to the game you will find the object gone and the monster back alive. I can make it save everything else but that's going to take a bit more work.
I think I'll hold off on making it save everything until I get an answer to a question I posted on the iPhone development forum.

Here's the save system, saves the state in which you leave the game and opens correctly back into the position you originally were. 3 spots for saving.

So what happens if you die? Do you resurrect in town and lose exp and gold?

I must be dreaming (wake up me wake up) How could this have happened. Tireas' cry when he found his computer fallen over in his chair with it's screen shattered.

At the moment I'm unsure. Right now all that happens when you die is that the npcs can't see you. I'd guess if we were to make the character resurrect back in town, we'd need to build maps and insert a town. Though before doing so, WH is re-vamping tiles and I am...
I finished saving so...
Perhaps I should work on another vital system...

Hey guys, what about classes? Do you like the idea, anything you'd like to add?(I'll go look at the thread we were discussing vital systems in)
I'm thinking that if you guys want it, I can make a character create screen after the save window so you can name and choose the class of your character. Maybe then an intro window to get them ready to play...

What do you guys think?

I guess it's time to get going, I'll be making rough draft interfaces to be temps until we build our actual interfaces.
So...  Knight, Archer and Wizard? Or should there be less generic classes or perhaps different names for the same type of class?
