SharpAccent - Action Points Turn Based Game

In this course we will cover the ins and outs of making an action point oriented turn based game. Inspired by the classics such as Jagged Alliance 2 (including 1.13).

This series is a "from scratch" series. We will develop the entire game and write all scripts together in the video.

1. Grid / Pathfind / Init Setup

In the first part we will see how to create a grid and setup A* (aka A star) pathfinder.

2. Grid Work / Units / Animations / Camera

In the second part we will continue modifying our grid while introducing our units and animations. Plus a bit of camera work

3. Serialization / Level Work

This part focuses on Serialization. In short, we are going to modify our level's grid and see how we can save/load it.

4. Editor In Editor

To make our life easier, we are going to build a system that will allow us to modify levels right in the editor and without having to be in Runtime mode. A huge time saver.

5. Stats / AP / Actions Base

In this part we will develop the stats for our units that will also calculate their base action points and more.

6. Characters

In this part we are going to create a database that will host all the different settings each character is going to have, effectively giving character to our characters.

7. UI Work / Tooltips / Bug Fixes

In this part we are going to do a few changes in our UI logic while inlcude a system for having tooltips over UI elements. Plus a few bug fixes here and there.

8. Inventory Setup

On this part we are going to build our inventory setup and talk about our approach with scriptable objects

9. Weapons & Wearables Instances

We are going to play dress up with our mercs and also build a system to dynamically load weapon models.

10. Weapons & IK Cosmetics

On this part we are going to tailor the visual part for our weapons, mostly for cosmetic purposes but we will eventually utilize this a bit more

11. Resources Manager Refactor

In this part we are going to revise the way we handle our resources making it more modular.

12. Non Dependencies Architecture

Sticking with our OOP approach, we are going to see a few examples of non depend functions.

13. Auto Grid Maker

Creating a level is interesting, having to paint data on it isn't. Let's explore techniques to automate the chores

14. Multiple Floors

Let's add one more dimension to our auto grid, plus scale differences.

15. Position Reading

Let's start reading data from our created level.

16. Grid Data Containers & Viz

Let's visualize our grid and see how to add additional logic, such as positions between tiles ?! Far out man, far out...

17. Spatial Hashing

Let's make unique positions on our grid that also house more properties into them.
