Hello,
I'm Phd Student and I work on Serious Games. My goal is to study if RTS could be interesting to teach computer programming. I developed a system call "Prog&Play" (http://www.irit.fr/ProgAndPlay/index_en.php) currently available with Spring engine and I want to implement it in WZ2100.
Then I downloaded source code but I don't understand which function use to order a droid to build a structure.
I suppose to use "droidStartBuild(DROID *psDroid);"
Then I deduct from exemple of code that to use this function, I must initialise psDroid->orderX, psDroid->orderY and psDroid->psTarStats.
I don't know how to initialize this last attribut (ie: psTarStats).
Thanks!

He wants to develop on the source code! :rolleyes:

Re: How to build something
As a PHD Student who I can only guess is working towards being a Programming Teacher I have to ask a few things out of curiosity. Is the main focus of your degree teaching or is it programming? If it's the latter then you're off to a good start.
But here's the part that's going to make a big difference

. On what level of education do you wish to start out with this study? If you're starting off with beginning programmers then I can assure you a lot of the code will confuse them. Sure it'd be interesting and they might even get to play with the results but they need the basic fundamentals of actual programming first. This would be something more as a second year college level at best I think, especially if you intend on showing them aspects of multiplayer coding."My goal is to study if RTS could be interesting to teach computer programming."

Re: How to build something
I found the solution. I use "orderDroidStatsLoc" function and the "asStructureStats" array to specify which structure build.
We use it for beginning programmers but we don't put students in front of the code of Spring or Warzone2100. Students use an interface that abstract the game complexity and give them the minimum to get and command units. Currently, I work to include this interface in Warzone2100 and if it's work, probably we will use it...fmbailey wrote:On what level of education do you wish to start out with this study?
