DataSystem
-Fixed a mistake I made earlier this month when I changed the getWClass function to an int. Changed it back to a string function and removed the data conversion code.
-Began adding weapon classes to the weaponDB matrix.
MsgProc
-Added two new messages to msgDB array.
-Modified most functions in this class. Original naming convention was m for message then the name of the calling class as a capital and then the rest of the function name (IE: mGSMenu for menu game start menu). I have changed this so that the lower case letter is the letter for the calling class instead of ‘m’ (IE: gSMenu fort game start menu).
-Renamed gSMenu to gTMenu.
-Added new function sISIMenu for item installation or storage choices.
Station
-Added new function sISItem for processing item installation and storage checks.
Player
-Added three new variables dealing with station storage space*: pCSSSpace (currently used storage space) pMSSSpace (max usable storage space) pSSSlots (number of station storage slots)
-Added a vector to store items in the players station inventory for later use.

DataSystem
-Converted rest of get function into int returns with data casting happening internally. Some functions remain string returns but only for those data that are string variables. Total of 46 functions changed.
MsgProc
-Finished coding weapon section of item information page included resource checks.
-Added bool variable valid for valid input check on player buying weapon. This part explicitly requires valid input, no defaulting, because it can drastically affect the players game due to removed resources.
-Added new message to the message database for non-defaulting invalid menu choice.
Ship
-Removed any data casting code. Hostile resource costs also uncasted. Removed a total of 89 lines of code.
Station
-Removed any and all in-class variable function passes, they are not needed since these functions can already access the variable.
-Completed the first half of the weapon purchase function including resource removal from player. The next section will have to do with player station storage/installing bought item.
Weapon
-Removed any code previously required for casting. Removed 56 lines of code.
Friday, 17
Player
-Added resource set functions for each resource for related functions and code for those functions.

Player
-Removed the following functions, they have been moved to ship class: isDestroyed() isDisabled() getSStatus()
battleProc
-Began adding in damage modification code. This has to do with damage types and what they will do to the ship when applied. Most will add extra, special, non-affiliated damage by taking it out of which ever health they effect beforehand. Other, more specialized, effects will also be applied here.
-Added new function: pDModifier() //modify player damage if special damage type present
Ship
-Added some new functions: isDestroyed() //If ship destroyed? isDisabled() //Is ship disabled? getSStatus() //Are shields up or down?

-Add the following vairables: damage damage2 damage3
Sunday, 15
Hostile
-Added the following functions: hSetup
-Removed all functions having to do with weapon and ship setup to those respective classes
battleProc
-Added the following functions: hTSetup hTInit
-Did a lot of work on several functions:
initHR1- this function now just calls specific setup functions from the respective classes along with passing the pertinent code value so those classes can do the hard work. Removed all “set” code from this function into other functions in the correct classes.
battleLoop- Removed any variable declarations and put them in the header file and started writing the shell for the b. loop.
battleProc- I was able to remove 90% of the variable initializations from the contructor due to changes in initHR1.
-Added the following variables: hTNumber bEnd pGOver pWin hostiles
Player
-Added the following functions: gameOver getCELvl
Ship
-Added the following function: sSetup
-Moved weapon arrays to public scope so other classes can access them and the functions therein
Weapon
-Added the following function to Laser: wSetup
Monday, 17
battleProc
-Added several new variables: turrets iTurrets bombs iBombs
-Changed the battleLoop function to include two new bool overrides, ship and planet. This is to facilitate if the battle is a ship to ship battle or a ship to planet battle.
-Modified the hDCalc function to actually compute the damage for hostile team, it had been doing player. Setup for loop to find only the target to apply damage to as well as pass the name through to damageType if special damage has to be applied.
-Finished coding the initHR1 function. It now contains all of the code to setup all possible hostile team ships except for newer weapon mounts (rail and heavy).
-Moved the findTarget call in both pDCalc and hDCalc to the top of the function
-Fixed some left over ‘d’ variables from the change of ‘d’ to damage2 in both pDCalc and hDCalc

-Merged all of the above functions into wSetup function
-Moved wSetup function from Laser class into Weapon class
-Added the following variable to the class: data
-Changed the Bomb class setWeight function so that it will instead call the Weight search dataSystem function then set the weight
Wednesday, 18
menuProc
-Added the following functions and all related code: pBStatus hBStatusA hBStatusB
-Moved int i global define from implementation file to header file as a private variable
Ship
-Added the following function and related code: getSDTimer
Thursday, 19
Project Wide
-Changed all references to menuProc to msgProc to reflect the class rename
Player
-Added the following functions: pAttack
-Added the following variables: sCode wCode
-Altered the player creation functions to make use of the new ship functions added in earlier in the week. This also reduced the code linage total by a large amount. Each of the four functions had 45+ lines of code replaced by two. I also removed the menu check and other iosystem related code and moved it to msgProc. Those functions now return the player’s chosen value with the check happening on that side instead of player. This also helped reduce the number of lines used.
msgProc (formerly menuProc)
-Renamed the class to better reflect the purpose of the class.
-Nearly all of the menu functions have been changed at this point to the new method where each menu is self-contained in this class. All menu item picking and value checking happens here then the chosen value is returned to the calling function for further use.
-Added the following function: getMsg
-Added the following variables: pChoice
battleProc
-Added the following function: pRetreat
-Modified endBattle function to take a bool called escaped to check if player won by defeating the enemies or by running, the later triggers a no-rewards end battle screen.
-Added the following variables: pContinue pAttacked escaped pNTarget hDCounter
-Worked a great deal on the battle loop today. Most of it has now been fleshed out for the ship battles. Planet battling is still at 0% completion. Ship battles broken into two classes, single ship battles and team battles. Currently since player team is not used it is singular to player vs. hostile team. This will change once wing men are implemented. There is still a lot of work to do on various constraints, setting up the weapons firing selections, and whatnot.
Hostile
-Added the following functions: getRace getDispo
-Changed the constructors to take advantage of the new ship initialization method; replaced a total of 68 code lines with 20 lines total (including function declarations).
-Uncommented get resource functions.
Ship
-Added hostile bool to ship setup function so that resource setting for hostile ships could be randomized while player resource values would not.
Main
-Added class reference for msgProc
March
Thursday, 1
Weapon
-Completed changing structs to classes. Decided to go with an Inheritance structure where each type of weapon is a child class of Weapon. The Weapon class has any and all variables and functions related to two or more specific weapon types. The classes that are childed to Weapon can access all of these while being able to contain their own specialized, one-off variables and functions. All coding for these functions has been completed as well. Included some commented functions that will be used in later versions.
-Added or changed old functions to the following functions:
Weapon setWDRange setWAcc setWName setWDtype setWTLevel setWType setWASpeed- commented getWDRLow getWDRHigh getWDROLow getWDROHigh getWALow getWAHigh getWAOLow getWAOHigh getWTLevel getWTpye getWASpeed- commented getWName getWDType Bomb setWeight getWeight Defense setSPoints getSPoints takeDamage
Heavy setDInt getDIntLow getDIntHigh getDIntOLow getDIntOHigh
-Added or changed old variables to the following variables:
Weapon wAcc- weapon accuracy wDRange- weapon damage range wDType- weapon damage type wName- weapon name wTLevel- weapon technology level wType- weapon type
Bomb bWeight- bomb weight
Defense dSP- defense structural points
Heavy hDInt- heavy weapons damage intensity range
Ship
-Completed changing this struct to a class and finished all coding for the related functions. Did not change many variables or add many functions that were not already in use by other classes.
-Changed weapon hard point definitions to arrays to remove seven lines of extra code per each weapon type (5 weapon types, times seven lines; total code removed 35 lines and replaced them with 5 lines) and added code to HPInit function to use weapon hard point values taken from itemsystem database to initialize only an equal number of the eight elements in each array, again to remove coding lines (this change removed 250 lines of code and replaced them with 24).
February
Monday, 27
Player
-Removed any and all ship/weapon related functions and code from the class.
Hostile
-Removed any and all ship/weapon related functions from the class.
Ship
-Began the process of changing this struct into a class. Consolidated all ship code from both Player and Hostile and are in process of rewriting it for the new class.
Weapon
-Began the process of changing this struct into a class. Consolidated any code related to this class into it and have begun rewriting it for use within this class.
Thursday, 23
battleProc
-Continued work on hostile initialization. Included code to randomly pick and setup a laser hard point for the ship.
-Fixed several issues within the ship and weapon database matrices that would have caused major issues during compile.
Weapon
-Along with ship struct, I will be changing this into a class that will contain all ship related functions. Each ship will be instantiated as its own object and so can be placed into an array which leads to cleaner and short initialization code.
Ship
-Along with weapon struct, I will be changing this into a class that will contain all ship related functions. Each ship will be instantiated as its own object and so can be placed into an array which leads to cleaner and short initialization code.
Hostile
-Added the following functions: initHardpoints getLHP setLBA setMT1 setBH1 -Modified constructors a bit to better reflect their purposes and to fix some issues. Started on weapon initialization but stopped when I decided to go with the class route.
Saturday, 18
battleProc
-Continued working on hostile initialization. Scrapped previous idea in favor of going to an object array after all ships have been initialized.
-Created two new arrays to hold both player wingmen shims and hostile ships during battle.
Hostile
-Edited both constructors to better fit both data sources and removed variables that were not going to be used at the present.
-Added all code to said constructors.
dataSystem
-Added getRace function.
Ship
-Changed some ship variable names and added a variable for movement initiative.
Thursday, 16
dataSystem
-Renamed itemSystem to dataSystem. This change was undertaken because I wanted to store all static data in this class and not just item and ship information.
-Added the following new data array(s) to this class: planetNames ranks raceNames pDD
-Added code for yesterday’s implemented functions.
planetProc
-Removed the following data array(s): planetNames pDD
Player
-Removed the following array(s): ranks
Game

-Renamed hostileStory to Hostile. Other constructors renamed to Hostile to reflect the class name change (from l.c. h to capital h). Also added in a blank constructor for definitions of hostile ship instances for multiple ship battles.
-Removed initialization code from Hostile constructors, it will now take place in battleProc.
battleProc
-Added the following functions and/or related code for those marked with a *; ** means partial code: battleLoop()** hDCalc() pDCalc() hInit()** pInit() initHR1()** initHR2() initHR3() initHR4() endBattle()**
-Added pointer definitions to the .cpp file so that I could initialize hostile ship pointers within separate functions to facilitate cleaner looking code.
-Enemy ship creation system based on player rank
menuProc
-Added two missing functions for the navigation menus: nMenu1 nMenu2
itemSystem
-Added in functions to search and return ship technology level, hard points, and class: getSBHolds() getSMTurrets() getSLBanks() getSRails() getSHWBays() getSWHPoints() getSTLevel() getSClass()
Main
-Moved game loop out of main and into menuProc (to be completed at a later date).
-Removed many class references and class pointers since pointer initialization now happens in battleProg
Monday, 13
Player
-Moved several menus out of the player creation process and placed them into menuProc where they should be incorporated.
-Changed all function calls related to the itemSystem information ‘gets’ for starter ship initialization due to changes to the class.
-Added menuProc reference for menu creation.
-Split up takeDamage function into base parts; takeSDamage, takeADamage, and takeHDamage, in order to make applying damage from special types much easier, effective, and efficient with the least code necessary.
menuProc
-Added several new functions for player creation menus: pCMenu1 pCMenu2 pCMenu3 pCMenu4
-Added generic invalid menu option catch.
itemSystem
-Reworked the weapons databases so that they could all be placed into a single matrix. Styled more after SQL table with non-applicable entries nulled.
-Added two new attributes to each weapon: Weapon Type Weapon Damage Type
-Added functions to obtain weapon and damage type: getWType getWDType
-Removed many functions that were duplicating information ‘gets’. Instead of each weapon type having a ‘get’ function there is now only one set of them for the entire table. Weapons that do not have a specific attribute will not be able to use a ‘get’ function if they do not have that specific attribute.
-Removed Optimum Range Damage attributes from all weapons and ship struct. Optimum range damage will be applied to a multiplier at random between 1.5% and 2.5% more damage in order to simplify damage calculations due to special damage types.
Weapons
-Added new variables to each weapon struct: tLevel //technology level wType //weapon type
damageTypes
-Added in some damage type descriptions to await further implementation: Piercing1 Piercing2 Piercing3 Napalm1 Napalm2 Napalm3 Destructor Nanite1 Nanite2 Nanite3 Doomsday1 Doomsday2 Stealth Frigonly Null Emp1 Emp2 Emp3 Virus1 Virus2 Virus3 Massaccel

Player.h:
-Modified the ranking system. Rank requirements for combat experience have now been changed to a CB level system where each battle gives exp. After a certain amount of exp your combat level will increase. At certain levels, in combination of previous requirements, you will be given an option at Alliance space stations to receive a promotion. You must go to an Alliance station in order to get this promotion once the requirements are met.
-Added the following variables: pCBELevel pCBExp tNCBLevel
Player.cpp:

Tuesday, 06
Planet:
-Split the class into two separate entities: Planet Processing will handle all global planet processes, such as placing a destroyed planet into the destroyed planets array. Planet will be a pointer based class that will function a lot like the hostile class except that planets will be stored in an array upon deletion during an event. This array will be updated each “turn” depending on various conditions if the player colonized said planet.
-Added several new variables to the planet class, all having to do with the planets habitability*: pGrav -gravity pRad -yearly radiation pOxy –atmosphere oxygen levels pNit –atmosphere nitrogen levels pCarb –atmosphere carbon levels pHel –atmosphere helium levels pALevel –strength of atmosphere and planetary coverage pLMass –available landmass pWMass –percentage of planetary space that is ocean pBDivers –planetary biological diversity
Each of these variables can be affected by certain factors, such as population growth, industrialization, or pollution. Teraforming will move these values closer to 62nd century earth’s conditions.
-Added second Defense attribute to the class for shield based defense systems.
PlanetProc:
-Added the following functions: isDest –is the planet destroyed isOwned –is the planet already owned by the player fPlanets –search for planets within scan range (currently static at 50 LY) pPlanets –print out list of found planets setDest –set planet as destroyed setPOwned –set planet as player owned
-Added the following variables: sPlanets –array for scanned planets* oPlanets –array for player owned planets
*Click here for further explanation
MenuProc:
-Added navigation menus 1 and 2. Nav menu two will work with above fPlanets/pPlanets functions to print out found planets for the player to travel to. Similar system to be setup for stations.

Tuesday, 19
Player:
-Removed data encryption, decryption, and save, load functions from the player class.
-Added setting functions for the player name, rank, ship name, ship class, ship technology level, and current/max armor, shield, and hull points.
Game:
-Added the code for the data decryption and encryption to the implementation file. Currently only the attributes listed in the “Player setting functions change log entry” are being used in these functions. Later on weapon and planet names will be added to these functions. -Fixed a few types and comments in the implementation file.

Wednesday, 13
New Classes:
-Added a new class; Game. This class will handle any wide scope game related functions such as saving and loading and data encryption/decryption. There may be other functions moved to here later on.
-Created a new class called menuProc (menu Processing) which will handle all of the menu option inputs. It will process the player choices and call the related functions. This is done in an attempt to move ALL player related choices out of the ‘main’ game execution file and reduce the choices throughout the rest of the project files and consolidate it all into one class eventually.
-Added Story class to this build. It only has one function at the moment for the opening story.
File Renames:
-Previously called game.cpp file has been renamed to main.cpp. Started the basic coding here including class references and starting function calls for creating the game start menu and calling the story. Renamed in lieu of Game class, would have had a name conflict with that classes implementation file (game.cpp).
Player:
-Removed Loading and Saving, Decrypting and Encrypting functions from Player.h. These functions relate more to game data then just the player class. They have been moved to the Game class.
Game:
-Added code for save function and data encryption and decryption. Function will create save folder structure if it does not exist then create the .nfo file. This does not include destroyed planet data at this time. Loading function not yet coded.
ItemSystem:
-Finished coding Ship database and removed old code for ship settings. Replaced 2,425 lines of code with 43 lines of code.

Past Entries:
Version 0.3a Change Log:
Planet bombing:
-Bomb weight has now been implemented. While bombing weight will now be calculated via formula to produce a collateral damage value.
-You can now bomb multiple times in a row AFTER the defenses have been destroyed. Maximum is 8 times and if the planet's population reaches 0 it should break the while loop. Have not tested that particular part.
-Planet Pillaging has been fixed. The resource random was set to 1,1000 instead of 100.
-During the bombing runs all text will be run on Sleep(2000) timers.
Main Game:
-At the start of the game, you will now be asked to input your name.
-Story has now been implemented.
-All text runs on timers, how long depends on the text amount.
-Decided to leave the Save/Load functions in. See more info on the change to cloning in the Station section.
-Have changed the encounter formula again, you will encounter fewer ships in this version.
Talirath/Tech Merchant:
-Added in both the Talirath and Tech merchant, you will be able to encounter them while traveling to stations.
-Tech merchant ship battle is still a little weird, trying to get the correct effect with it.
-If your ship is NOT a tech level 4 ship (i have added 1 tech 4 ship just for testing this function) you will not be able to use the TM right now. Later on I will change this so that there are different TM level ships.
-Once you choose to upgrade the Artimis Theta (the previously mentioned t4 ship) you will be able to distribute and damage and range points yourself to any weapons you have equipped.
-At this time Tech Merc and Talirath DO NOT have their custom ships.
-Talirath will only fight you if your pirate rank is 1 and higher.
Player:
-Ranking system now implemented after gaining 5 rank points (by destroying planets and ships) your rank will increase, this can be done up to 9 times.
Ranks: Private Private First Class Sub-Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant Commander Commander Captain Commodore Admiral
Station:
-Clone System This has now been implemented. You can buy a single use clone or buy a multi use clone. When you buy the multi use, you will be asked for the number of uses. This is then multiplied by the price of a single use clone. How they work is when your ship is destroyed, your consciousness is transported tot he nearest station and put into a clone. During this process your game is saved.
-New Weapons: I have added 26 new Laser Weapons.
-New Ships: I have added in 5 new ships in the Destroyer class.
Version 0.2 Alpha changes:
-Menus are now cleaned up a bit more.
-You can now save and load your game. The save .nfo files can be found in your C:\ directory. There should be 2 of them, one for player data and a second for the destroyed planet names array. Right now the array is writing each element individually in the save function till I can get the for statement to work correctly.
-the 'Oders' typo has been fixed ;P
-please note that laser banks 4 - 8 and turrets 4 - 8 will be given garbage values as I have not set them up in the player creation function yet.
-the weirdness in the Station menu has been fixed. (if you chose to buy a ship, once done it would send you to the weapons menu.).
-all menus (or almost all) have been conformed to the new layout at the top of each menu is a cout << endl; and a system("CLS"); at the end of each non-battle menu to clear the command window.
-I have now added in some more planets. In total there are now 28 planets instead of 9.
-No new ships or weapons.
-Planets now have access to more planetary defenses and can now obtain a random tech level.
-Pillage and salvage functions have been rewritten for easier access to resources.
-Fixed the issue with enemy ships not being able to attack you. They can now do both laser and missile damage. This was due to an old reinitialization of some setup variables that were not needed and were left in by mistake.
