Hey all,

I have been very bored and trying to spark a Golden Sun interest within me; I have decided to write a 'Damage Calculator' for Golden Sun(TLA).
It will include things such as:

-Physical Damage
-Unleash Damage
-Djinn Damage
-Psynergy Damage
-Item Damage (Maybe)
-Summon Damage

-Special Physical Attacks
-Critical Hits
-Elemental Physical Attacks

-Curative Abilities
-Area Spell Reduction (Implemented when I upgrade to Graphics)

All damage formulas will be taken from Terence's Battle Mechanics FAQ (in this forum). All calculation credits to Terence.
It will be written entirely in C++, it will only be text based at this point (until I learn how to utilize OpenGL). Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

You're awesome, nick. I would never have the patience to do something like that (or figure out HOW to do something like that)

I assume that this will include effects of stat changes (Impact, Dull, etc.), too? (or is that what "Area Spell Reduction" means?)
Text-based is fine for me (I often prefer it, actually)

anyway, I look forward to it. :(

The reason why I am hesitant to include area reduction spells (Psynergy that has a large arrow - includes Dull, Impact, etc) is because it's hard to explain/receive without graphical help.

However, it will be included in a later release (hoepfully after I learn how to integrate graphics using OpenGL or DirectX).

Since it was going to be an important program after it was completed, to make the public more aware of it I guess he pinned it, but what the heck -- Everyone can see the idea's been dead for a while now.

Yes, I'm sure that would serve the purpose.

Because I was looking for feedback on this - whether it's wanted, or needed or if anyone has any suggestions.

However, I totally forgot about this.

I think I will make it in PHP and make this web based. Everyone loves web-based things.

Yes, yes. Good idea. Maybe it can be put into the GSS site, if it hasn't been already.

Now there would be some hard work. ;D. Let's just hope you can get it done in a fairly short amount of time.

Well, what I was doing what using TorrentLords FAQ (gamefaqs) and just using regular expressions to sift through the file. I can do it again, I'm just too lazy and busy to get to it.
