Some Mechanics Explained
Random Narration
The random narration system consists of several subsystems:
-
Event Selection: Retrieves a random narration event from a struct containing all event details (e.g., text, images, consequences).
-
Display: Shows the retrieved information on screen.
-
Player Choice: Gives the player the option to accept or decline the event.
Select Dwarf in Job
When the player has multiple dwarves working in the game, it can be difficult to find the last idle dwarf, for example. To solve this, I created a system to assist the player. They simply need to select a job, and the game will automatically assign a random dwarf from that job.
