I’m making a roguelike turn-based game, as a programming student project.
Combat inspired by x-com, backed with systems-heavy rpg logic.
With enemies working.

Sounds good! I never got far in XCOM, I was awful at it 
Now I’m wondering if the name is pending, or if the name is “pending”, or the name is “name pending”

I love turn-based tactics games, and roguelike mechanics, and XCOM, so I’m intrigued 
How do the enemies behave?
Cool idea, keep posting!
the name is pending.
for now, on the turn timers, enemies have two behaviour patterns.
the melee ones:
-use A star pathfinding to get closer to the player
-if adjacent to the player, run the attack script that ticks down player health.
the ranged ones:
-use A star pathfinding to get the path to the player
-go through a set number of steps in the found path until either the player is in line of sight and range, or the number is reached
-then if the player is in line of sight and range, run the same attack script as the melee enemy

Nice and simple
I’m looking forward to a demo, if one is in the works
