Rpg Battler - The pdf game

[dk3dknight]

Download Link: Here

This is a little project I put together ive spent some time on it, above is a screen shot of the incomplete version 0.0.1.5

Its a simple RPG battle using a pdf document and form calc, I hope yall enjoy it. The 4 buttons at the top will switch the scene to one of the other 3d generated scene.

New Features:
-Persistent Hero
Your character becomes more powerful for
every match he/she/it wins.

-Persistent Enemies
The enemy becomes more powerful as you
win, and also becomes weaker as you lose
matches.

-4 Different Backdrops.

Notes:
Magic has not yet been implemented
Special Attacks had to be removed for this build while I work out better scripting of them.
The game counts off how many times you win and lose
This reflects more on a Japanese Style rpg battle.

Enjoy.

This is a free project you are free to make changes and republish, enjoy the content how every want, but you must not use this in a way to make or generate revenue for yourself. Thats all I ask.

In the following posts ill explain the code used for the attack commands.

Im always welcome to suggestions to make this little pdf game more enjoyable to the community and others.

Here is a overview of the attack code.

if (DropDownList1 == "Do nothing")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time()+1.5*Level, 3)

1. What you see HP in this it refers to the your players health, when you see EHP that refers to that refers to enemy health. What we have here is if your action is to do nothing, then the player takes the following damage. Which is the following variables Date(which equals days since jan 1, 1900) + Time (miliseconds since midnight) + 1.5 * Level (The current level of the character), and then take the last 3 digits of that calculation and that is how much damage is delt to the player.

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Attack")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(),2)+1.5*Level
EHP=EHP-Right(Date()+Time(), 2)+1.5*Level

2. What you see here is if you select attack the following things happen.
Your HP reduces by your HP - the last two digits of Date + Time, and then we add 1.5 x your current level. This means your damage taken and given is leveled...
Your enemy's health losss is the same code but because its executed afterwards the damage is either less or more then you dealt to the enemy.

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Defend")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(), 1)

3. This command when I get magic working in one form or another will charge your mana, you will take only a single digit of damage which isn't half bad.
Your Hp = Your HP - the last digit to the right in the equation Date + Time, which as you can imagine is one hella a damage reduction.

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Critical")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(), 3)+20*(Level/2)
EHP=EHP-Left(Date()+Time(),3)+20*(Level/2)

4. Take note in the critical calculation damage done to you is calculated against you before your damage delt is calculated. This equation is Your HP equals Your HP - last 3 digits on the right of the equation of Date + Time then this number is taken and added to 20 * your Level divided by 2.
The other half is the same except it takes the first 3 numbers starting on the left instead of right, what does this mean well a very very different number.

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Drink Potion")
then HP=0+Level xfa.host.messageBox("Potion Was Poison",1,1)

5. This command Auto kills the player.. sorta mean joke by me.

By now you probablay are familar with what the code means so im just going to seperate the commands out without the commentary, if you have a question on what it does please feel free to ask me.

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Slap")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(),2)+2.5*Level
EHP=EHP-Right(Date()+Time(), 2)+5.5*Level

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Dual Weild")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(),2)+5.5*Level
EHP=EHP-Right(Date()+Time(), 2)+10.5*Level

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Human Sheild")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(), 1)
EHP=EHP-Right(Date()+Time(),1)

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Slam")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(), 4)+40*(Level/2.5)
EHP=EHP-Left(Date()+Time(),4)+80*(Level/1.5)

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Quad Damage")
then HP=HP-Right(Date()+Time(), 5)+80*(Level/1.5)
EHP=EHP-Left(Date()+Time(),5)+160*(Level/1)

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Enternal Blade")
then HP=HP/150000
EHP=EHP/150000

elseif (DropDownList1 == "Infinity Blade")
then HP=HP-5000
EHP=EHP-Left(Date()+Time(),10)+5000*(Level/1)

endif

The endif serves to end the statement.

Form Calc pure pure form calc in Adobe Livecycle Designer which comes free with adobe acrobat pro, it makes interactive pdfs, it handles formcalc and javascript.

the backdrops were created in bryce and photoshop, I photoshoped the characters into the backdrop.

There are 4 backdrops.. for now I might add more later.

Ah well just to let you know once you install Acrobat Pro you already have livecycle its preinstalled alongside it.
