Building a Turn-Based Battle System

Starting simple: build a small but functional turn-based battle system to understand the basics.

Introduce an element of randomness to the system by giving each combatant an accuracy stat. A random number check determines if an attack hits or misses.

In this section, we'll swap from mouse to keyboard controls and introduce textboxes to display all in-battle text.

Set damage would make a battle pretty boring, so this tutorial looks at changing the way damage is handled.

Next up, we look at adding a modifier value to the damage calculation as well as moving the combatants' stats into an array.
