Taproom: four tavern board games played against NPCs for gold, for RPG Maker MZ
============================================================================
Taproom
============================================================================
Four old tavern board games your player can sit down and play against the
people of your world, for gold:
Nine Men's Morris rows of three take men; fly when you are down to three
Fox and Geese one fox against thirteen geese; pick your side
Oware sow seeds round twelve pits, take twos and threes
Fanorona take whole lines by approach or withdrawal
EVERY BOARD IS DRAWN. Slate, marble, a board knifed into the tabletop,
black lacquer with gilt lines, a linen mat, tooled leather, walnut with
brass, carved soapstone; borders worked at a steady pitch and the wear of
use. The men are drawn too: river stones, bone and horn, glass, silver and
copper coins, fired clay, boxwood and ebony. Which board and men an
opponent sets out is chosen from their name, so the old man in the corner
always plays on the same scratched slate. You can name a board and a set
instead.
THE OPPONENT THINKS. Five strengths: Novice, Regular, Sharp, Hustler,
Master. It searches ahead a little at a time across frames, so the game
never stalls, and the same position with the same seed gets the same move.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plugin Manager order, top to bottom:
TaproomCore.js (the rules and the opponent)
TaproomDraw.js (the drawing)
Taproom.js (this file: parameters, the command, the scene)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
USING IT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add the plugin command "Play a Game" to an event: choose the game, the
opponent's name and strength, which side the player takes, the stake, and
the variables and switch to set. The event waits while they play.
Result variable 1 = won, 0 = lost (or conceded), 2 = drawn
Margin variable by how much, in the game's own count: men ahead
(Morris, Fanorona), seeds ahead (Oware), geese taken
(as the fox) or geese left (as the geese). Negative
when the player lost.
Win switch on only for a win
Stake won or lost in gold. If the party has less, the stake
is what they have. A draw returns it.
Script calls:
Taproom.record("Old Brannoc", "morris") -> {w, l, d} against them
Taproom.lastResult -> the last game's result
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTROLS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mouse and touch: click a man, then where it goes. Rings show every point
you may click next; a red cross marks a man you may take.
Keyboard and gamepad: the arrows move between the ringed points, OK
chooses, Cancel puts a picked-up man back. Shift shows the rules of the
game. W (page down) stops a chain of captures early. The Concede plaque
gives the game up (click it twice).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taproom adds its own scene and replaces nothing. It extends one engine
method (Game_System.initialize) to create its save record, calling the
original first.
