Thankfully all the EXP and STATS are completed. Once you level up you have the option of selecting which stat to improve by hitting the appropriate shortcut key. I was considering having mouse control, but sadly it would throw the rest of the game off as there is only keyboard input. You can also r…

Wow! It's 2013 at last!!! Didn't think we would make it, well after Y2K, oh and 2012!! Yes, even a few other proclaimed end of the world bandwagon groups started between that time, but we're still here!

It's been so long since my last entry. Sadly with work and other things I've had little to no time lately. The good news is that all towns/castles are now programmed and fully working with menus!

Sadly I've been sick on and off for the last few months. Just now I'm finally feeling better because I'm taking antibiotics. It's been a shame because my Classic RPG # 1 project has been moving along at a much slow rate then I would normally program a project. I'm hoping to get back on course by…

I've been looking to jump into app development for quite some time now. There are a hand full of applications and game ideas I would like to create and release. However, I'm not willing to purchase an iMac as I'm a Windows user unless it's the only good option.

Task 7 will mainly be for programming the information dialog to replace the text box.
I have been debating on having the text box removed, and when you put your combat cursor over any given enemy, their information will show. (Current Health, Damage, ect...) on the HUD below.

Hello everyone!
I've tried to update the swords to make it more clear the Bronze, Iron, and Steel are indeed different. The game will show a text description either way.
Below you will see the new swords on top, and previous ones below.
