Alnavo 2.0 alpha release 3.I.2009
While learning c# i get an idea to build a control based game to see what opportunities microsoft is giving to dotNET programers. I used mainly Label and PictureBox Control and get nice resoult. Its only alpha version, still much need to be done but you can see how it works. I tryed optymalize code so there would be as less flickering as posible but it's still anoying. I use my own database (XML files).
its half ENG / half PL version need to finaly deal with it its on Artistic License but im going to publish sources with beta version
Alpha Features: movement WASD or arrow keys c - character stats i - inventory and equipment h - HP bars turn on/off left mouse click - pick up near item or attack near monster (1 space) to equip or drop item just drag-drop-it 5% chance to item by dropped by killd enemy enemy respawn after once killed
Beta Features (soon) npc sell items to npc on map click events - such as open trade window or heal after click on shine decide mob to move - make them agressive to timer - automatize everything ranged atacks skills (for combat player and magic spells)
Final Version (maybe) should implement multiplayer using net.sockets and UDP or TCP serv-client
