[s-b] Proposal: Currency |
Proposal "Currency": Create a new rule "Currency": {{ A "currency owning object", or COO, is a type of game object that can own currency (also called "money"). All players are currency owning objects. Each rule defining a new currency will also define an attribute the scope of which is all COOs. The value of this attribute shows how much of that currency the COO has. A COO can give currency to another COO by a game action, as follows: ey specifies an amount (which cannot be greater than the value of eir currency attribute) and a currency; eir currency attribute for that currency goes down by the amount; the recieving COO's currency attribute for that currency goes up by the amount. If the COO has a non-positive currency attribute for a given currency, then he cannot give that currency to another COO. If for any reason the receiving COOs currency attribute cannot go up, or the giving COOs currency attribute cannot go down, then nothing happens. Players can, via game action, exchange points for currency. The rule defining the currency will set the exchange rate. The player declares how many points ey wishes to exchange (which cannot be less than 0 or more points than ey has) and the currency ey wishes to recieve. Ey loses that many points and gains (exchange rate x points) in the currency. If for any reason the amount of eir points cannot go down or the amount of eir elephants cannot go up, then nothing happens. }} Create a new rule "Elephants": {{ The default currency of this game is elephants. This can be shortened to a lowercase e. [[See below.]] There is an attribute "elephants": scope is all currency owning objects; range is decimal numbers; default value is 50. The value of this attribute should always be expressed starting with a lowercase e, for example, e50 or e10.15. The points -> elephants exchange rate is 5.0 - that is, 1 point may be exchanged for e5. }} _______________________________________________ spoon-business mailing list spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-business
