🐗 Boar Adventure - Ideas

Boar Adventure 🐗

Let's discuss the Boar Adventure
Contract : https://github.com/Rarity-Extended/extendedAdventures/blob/main/contracts/boarAdventure.sol

[Ceazor]

Just to make this a bit more interesting ..

function bonus_by_attr(uint _points, uint _summoner) internal view returns (uint points) {
        (,,,uint32 _int,uint32 _wis,uint32 _cha) = attr.ability_scores(_summoner);
        points = _points + ((_int + _wis + _cha) / 2);

The contracts will also consider this all. But the UI can ask.

"What would you like to do with the BOAR?"

KILL IT (uses _str)

Attempt to get it to breed with other boars to increase the population and perhaps finds some goodies.

RECALL WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BOAR (This will use your INTELLIGENCE)
TRACK OTHER BOARS AND SEE WHAT YOU FIND (This will use your WISDOM)
ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE BOAR (This will use your CHARISMA)
USE YOUR DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF ANIMALS TO TRY TO TAME IT (This will use yor and ANIMAL HANDLING skill)

[Ceazor]

I see that this block is multiplied by 2,

function bonus_by_handle_animal(uint _points, uint _summoner) internal view returns (uint points) {
        uint8[36] memory _skills = skills.get_skills(_summoner);
        uint handle_animal = _skills[13]; //Handle animal
        points = _points + (handle_animal * 2);

but usually ANIMAL HANDLING bonus is added to that of the _cha bonuses since it's a charisma based skill.

function bonus_by_handle_animal(uint _points, uint _summoner) internal view returns (uint points) {
        uint8[36] memory _skills = skills.get_skills(_summoner);
        uint handle_animal = _skills[13]; //Handle animal
        points = _points + (handle_animal + _cha);

not sure if this is right..

[Ceazor]

At least i learn.. so no CHA + in handle_animal

just make them straight summing

so.

Level 4 Bard with Wis 2 and AH 2will have

reward = 4 + 4 + 2 + 2

That being said.. I would vote for change these and make them a lot less important

  function base_points_by_class(uint _class) internal pure returns (uint points) {
        if (_class == 1) {
            points = 1;
        } else if (_class == 2) {
            points = 4;
        } else if (_class == 3) {
            points = 2;
        } else if (_class == 4) {
            points = 6;
        } else if (_class == 5) {
            points = 1;
        } else if (_class == 6) {
            points = 2;
        } else if (_class == 7) {
            points = 1;
        } else if (_class == 8) {
            points = 4;
        } else if (_class == 9) {
            points = 1;
        } else if (_class == 10) {
            points = 1;
        } else if (_class == 11) {
            points = 2;
        }
    }

only classes i would consider more able to handle_animal are the druid and ranger. and the wizard, perhaps.

[TheAustrian1998]

Okay, commit in a while. So, points = _points + (handle_animal * 2); this line keeps unmodified?

[Ceazor]

im not sure why you are * 2 actually.. just to make it more important?

[TheAustrian1998]

Yes, thus it produces a great boost

[Ceazor]

Great.. sound good...

Part 1

Dungeon Stats

Imo, we should make the dungeon harder than the current one. You must have a nice constitutions & strength to be able to kill a boar (much more hard than a rat). We need to test the correct combinaison here, but this could be something like this (note : not tested at all, but I can make a UI to test the fight)

+    int public constant dungeon_health = 16;
-    int public constant dungeon_health = 10;

+    int public constant dungeon_damage = 4;
-    int public constant dungeon_damage = 2;

+    int public constant dungeon_to_hit = 5;
-    int public constant dungeon_to_hit = 3;

+    int public constant dungeon_armor_class = 4;
_    int public constant dungeon_armor_class = 2;

Boars Population

The initial boar population should no be 0. Maybe something like 1000 ?
Moreover, to be able to reproduce a Boar, at least 2 boars should exists.

A litter of piglets can be between 10 and 12 piglets -> Do you want to increase the number of boars by RANDOM 1 to 12 or is it too complicated ? If so, the killing boars should be a lot more interesting (or we will destroy the forest with an army of 100000000 boars haha) (not sure this is a good idea)

Rewards

Perfect.
Just to be sure, the contract will be a minter for theses ERC20 right ? How should we decide who can mint or not (having this mint function accessible is really nice, we could add more contracts and allow the community to use that, this is brillant ! But we need to controle this to avoid a minter that will just mint and broke the system. Should our mutltisig be the owner ?)
When killing, you only go 1 reward among the 3 possibles ? Should we allow a random stuff to get more than just 1 type of reward (or more than just 1 meat for example) ?
IMO, the quantity should be partly random (cf the crafting contract). I find this sad that people can, for sure, know what kind of reward they will get.

DAY Mechanisms

• With the DAY variable, we could imagine something to reduce the time between two actions with the Boars. For example, 1 DAY is standard, but for 1 FTM you could rest and reduce this time to 0.5 DAY. Or you could craft a Meal, with 4 berries + 1 meat to reduce this time to 0.7 DAY.

Feats

In the same way as the skills, some feats could be used. All the feats can be found here, but here is a small selection of stuff, not too difficult (imo) to integrate :

Alertness [General]
Benefit
You get a +2 bonus on all Listen checks and Spot checks.

Animal Affinity [General]
Benefit
You get a +2 bonus on all Handle Animal checks and Ride checks.

Endurance [General]
Benefit
You gain a +4 bonus on the following checks and saves: Swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage, Constitution checks made to continue running, Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march, Constitution checks made to hold your breath, Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst, Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments, and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation. Also, you may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued.

Toughness [General]
Benefit
You gain +3 hit points.

Skills

The Handle_animal skill is perfect for this situation. Do we also need the Move Silently skill ? Bonus for both actions ? (not sure about this)

[TheAustrian1998]

@Major-Eth What do you think about getting rid off simulate functions? I think they are needed for simulate the battle in UI. For that reason, i need your opinion

[Majorfi]

The function is not needed for the UI, but this can help people know if they will succeed this dungeon.
Could we just transform the simulate in a [Yes/No] situation ? Yes if you could Win the fight, no otherwise. Nothing about loot, just success/failure ?

[TheAustrian1998]

This makes everything so much easy, thanks. So, we only need a simulate kill function, because reproduce is always successfully, (only change your reward).

[Majorfi]

Do you want to increase the number of boars by RANDOM 1 to 12
Yes, I can do that with the codex you gave me. To clarify, it is the amount of boars that will born when you reproduce?

Exactly, the amount of boars could be a random number. But, if we do this, we will have to get a counter mecanism to avoid TOO MANY boars. This mecanism could be a reduction of loots for the Handle part, and an increase for the Kill part.
Let's say the expected number is 1000 boars, then the loot amount could be something like this :

function simulate_reproduce(uint _summoner) public view returns (uint reward) {
        uint _level = rm.level(_summoner);
        uint _class = rm.class(_summoner);
        reward = base_points_by_class(_class);
        reward = multiplier_points_by_level(reward, _level);
        reward = bonus_by_handle_animal(reward, _summoner);
        reward = bonus_by_attr(reward, _summoner);
+      reward = reward * (EXPECTED_BOARS_AKA_1000 / CURRENT_BOARS_COUNT_AKA_2000)
}

And so reward become reward / 2 -> 1000/2000 = 0.5, and the greater CURRENT_BOARS_COUNT is, the less reward there is.
And we could do the same thing for the kill mecanism:

reward * (CURRENT_BOARS_COUNT_AKA_500 / EXPECTED_BOARS_AKA_1000)

[TheAustrian1998]

Wow, very interesting mechanism. I will add it.

[Ceazor]

is this a typo? [13]?

function bonus_by_handle_animal(uint _points, uint _summoner) internal view returns (uint points) {
uint8[36] memory _skills = skills.get_skills(_summoner);
uint handle_animal = _skills[13]; //Handle animal
points = _points + (handle_animal * 2);

[TheAustrian1998]

It isn't a typo. When you get skills array starts with zero, in the screenshot you provided it starts with one. Anyway, you make me doubt, i will double check.

[Majorfi]

Indeed, now that you say this I think you are right
