Not really...

Ok, so when you get into a battle you're magically transported to a grid. Then, you highlight the tiles along the path that you want your character to move along. Then you can click redo to reselect the path, or click move. Selecting move makes your character travel along the path you selected. Then, it's the AI's turn to move. The AI does the same thing, it selects a path of tiles to move along, and then follows that path. After the movement phase is over, the battle starts. You and you opponent can move around freely within a small area around the tile that you moved to during the movement phase. You can click in a direction to fire a long ranged weapon in that direction, you can hit the space bar to preform a melee attack, or you can use an item. All of that occurs in realtime. After 11 seconds, the real time battle phase is over. The health lost by you and your opponent during the battle phase is subtracted from your current health points. If either of you are out of hit points, then the battle is over. If not, then it goes back to the movement phase and the process start over from your current positions.

I don't think I can be any more clear than that...

That's really astounding for a SC game Hampster. :) How big is the grid? And is it scrollable or full view?

What if both of you are out of hitpoints?

Thanks :)

The grid is 170 tiles, but due to my new tile engine all you have to do to increase the grid size is add some more zeros (representing empty spaces) or ones (obstacles) to the map's code... nothing else need be changed. Currently the the battle maps are non - scrollable... that would really mess up the AI pathfinding, which is pretty complicated as is. I can always add little arrows at the edges of the screen that you can walk into to go to the next map screen, but I think that keeping the normal battles restricted to one screen would be better.

If everyone runs out of health, I win.

That was a joke. However if when the game comes out you see some guy with wings wearing a gas mask, its probably me.

If you want to walk up to an enemy and just spam the space bar then go ahead, but you'll get ripped up pretty quickly by the AI, who will realize what you're doing and hit you with a long range attack.
