This distinction is pretty subtle, but I throw it in as a heads-up for when you see me use one or the other term.Ī character is an object that holds a party member’s data, basically, and a defender is the in-battle representation for that character. The members of your party are your characters, and the units you place in battle are defenders. Scrap is the in-game label for money, but in data the variable is simply “gold.” The mysterious sorceress, Tletl-Metzli, was originally named “unazra” while we were coming up with a name for her, and this is what she’s referred to in game data. ![]() This internal representation is called a “variable.” The following entry is a good example.Īlthough Azra’s character class is displayed as “Librarian” in game, her character class is referred to throughout the code and game data as “mcguffin.” This is because she is the “Tower Defense McGuffin”, ie the thing you have to arbitrarily defend. Often we’ll have an internal representation of that thing in game data that goes by some other name, sometimes similar, sometimes completely different, and often has no relation to the game’s theme, it’s just a mechanical word for our own use. This means “Tower Defense Role Playing Game” and was the original code-name for the project.Ī label is the piece of text that we display to the player in game and is consistent with the game’s theme and story. ![]() You don’t need any programming experience to make a Defender’s Quest mod, but throughout this documentation I will be using some light programming jargon, as well as some terminology specific to Defender’s Quest. Feel free to skip this section and refer back to it later as necessary. ![]()
