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).

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

   -Removed the following array(s)
   raceNames

Wednesday, 15

Hostile

   -Fixed a small typo within the class and in child classes for Talirath and Tech Merchant.

   -Added in all code for most of the functions detailed in yesterday’s update.

   -Changed getSTLevel from string to int to reflect change of the attribute in the ship structure.

itemSystem

  -Added in the following functions, but have not implemented the code yet:
   getSWHP
   getSLB
   getSMT
   getSBH
   getSRM
   getSHWB
   getSDesc
   getSMInit
   getSXC
   getSRC
   getSDC
   getSDiC
   getSUC
   getSPC

Player

   -Changed getSTLevel from string to int to reflect change of the attribute in the ship structure.

Tuesday, 14

Hostile

   -Added new functions and related code in the .cpp file:
   setName
   setRank
   setSArmor
   setSHull
   setSMArmor
   setSMHull
   setSShield
   setSMShield
   setSName
   setSSTLevel
   getSArmor
   getSHull
   getSMArmor
   getSMHull
   getSMShield
   getSShield
   getName
   getRank
   getSClass
   getSName
   getSTLevel

   -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:

       setSMShield
       setSName
       setSSTLevel
       cLUp
       pCBLUp

   -Added functions for player combat level gaining, noted above.  Levels are calculated via the following equation*:
       To Next Level = (Current Level • 1250) • 1000 • 1000 • Current Level / (2 / ((1000 • (Current Level • 1250)) / 2))

Saturday, 24

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.

Main:

   -Added game class and planet processing references.

   -Created start game menu operations and started on the game loop.

Game:

   -Added new function sGame (start game) to the class.

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.

ItemSystem:

   -Began laser weapon entry into laserDB matrix.

   -Changed the description for both the Ion-Particle Blaster and 50mm Suspended Coil Laser Cannon.

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.
