Hi folks!!!

I'm making a game called Precious Potions. I need ingredients for the Witches brews that I am going to concoct. I was wondering if you guys could post some ingredients.

Please use the Format posted below, including the word Data, with speech marks, and seperated by commas.

Data "Cat Whiskers","Dragon Scales","Frog's Breath"
Data "Fairy Tears","Dragon Claws"
Data "Wolf Blood","Crow's Beak","Willow Leaves","Monkey Brain"

I need as many as possible, maybe around 200.

Thank You!

Pincho.

Edit: Oh yeah, and a code snippet to sort them Alphabetically would be helpful.

Thanks again!

Hehe.



To sort them, well really I'd suggest you expand on whatever arrays your using, because you have to sort them as well, but assuming that your just worried about the name, stored in ing_name$ with ing_count telling us how many indices your using.

For n=0 to ing_count
For nn=n to ing_count
if ing_name$(n)>ing_name$(nn)
temp_ing_name$=ing_name$(nn)
ing_name$(nn)=ing_name$(n)
ing_name$(n)=temp_ing_name$
endif
Next nn
Next n

Remember that if you use the 'id' number of the ingredient anywhere else, like in an ING_WEIGHT() array to store the item weight - you'll have to swap that data too, just like I've shown with ing_name$.

I'd have used a function to add an ingredient, that way you can specify other factors while making the ingredients (like colour for instance - you'll need to let them mix colours up when mixing ingredients together).

Thanks! Will this work in DB Classic, because I was expecting Mid$ to be involved somewhere?

Yeah, that's a real old boolean sort method - should work fine.

I think you might have seen some fancy sort system that needs to do more - but just checking the 2 name strings with a '>' is usually enough.

data "puppy snot","kitten breath","green lint"
data "happy laugh","fire water","chinese burn"

go here pincho and get a spell component database thingy for AD&D
it will give you a plethora of ideas to add to potions
I used to play AD&D heaps but i gave it up at 17
theres plenty of ideas in spell components and you can add your own twist.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

Pincho Paxton, are you going to make each ingredient actually mean something?

Eagle Feather = Flight
Dragon Scales = Fire Resistance
Cat Whiskers = Nimble as a cat (Increased Dexterity)

Or am I playing way too many RPGs?

You are going to mix six of them together to make a spell.
