Tick-Based Combat System

Overview

This is a modular and extensible tick-based combat system designed for games. The system allows for smooth and flexible combat mechanics, making it easy to expand and integrate into your projects.

Features

Core Features

  • Tick-Based Combat Mechanics: Every action is processed in discrete "ticks," ensuring synchronized gameplay.
  • Modular Design Through Interfaces: Easily extend or replace components by implementing standardized interfaces.
  • Extensible Base Classes: Provides a solid foundation for creating new combatants, abilities, or mechanics.
  • Stats Tracking: Tracks player and enemy stats, such as health, attack, defense, and more.
  • Flexible Attack Speed System: Attack speed is calculated dynamically, allowing for diverse gameplay styles.
  • Basic Damage and Defense Calculations: Simple but effective calculations for determining combat outcomes.

Expansion Ideas

You can enhance this system by adding more advanced features:

Suggested Features

  1. Status Effects:
    • Poison, stun, burn, and other effects.
    • Apply buffs or debuffs to stats.
  2. Different Attack Types:
    • Melee, ranged, and magic support.
    • Introduce piercing, slashing, crushing, and other attack types.
  3. Critical Hit System:
    • Add critical hit mechanics for extra damage.
    • Include factors like luck or skill-based bonuses.
  4. Equipment System:
    • Equip weapons, armor, and accessories.
    • Dynamically adjust stats based on equipment.
  5. Combat Styles:
    • Implement different fighting styles (aggressive, defensive, etc.).
    • Allow style-specific bonuses.
  6. More Complex Damage Calculations:
    • Introduce armor penetration, elemental damage, or percentage-based damage.
  7. Range/Magic Combat Support:
    • Create distinct systems for ranged and magic attacks.
    • Add features like mana usage, ammo requirements, or spell cooldowns.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of game development and programming.
  • Familiarity with object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts.

How to Use

  1. Clone the Repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/valkarinc/combat-system.git
  2. Integrate into Your Project:
    • Copy the core files into your game's codebase.
  3. Extend the System:
    • Use the base classes and interfaces to add your own features.

Example Usage

Here's a quick example of creating a combatant and initiating combat:

Combatant player = new Player("Hero", 100, 15, 10);
Combatant enemy = new Enemy("Goblin", 50, 10, 5);

CombatEngine engine = new CombatEngine();
engine.startCombat(player, enemy);
