VB6, Making a sport text based game engine

HI people,

im trying to make a TEXT BASED GAME ENGINE for my football manager game.

i have a database for all the players attributes

how would i look at making this game engine


i know ill have to use the player attributes from the player database to manipulate gameplay.

Q. will the game play be done in a loop?

i.e player recieves ball depending on his stats -

work rate, ball winning, position

then his disposal of the ball will depend on his level of

attack, passing, technique, composure.

then the next player that the ball goes TO or NOT the process will start again.

then ill gave to factor in how close they are to goal and if they will shoot and if they score.


anyone done this before pretty intense stuff . Along the way every desposal and goal i want to record it to a database of stats. so when you are looking at the squad or individual player screen you can see the players stats from each previous game.

what do ya think, hope it makes sense lol.
thanks guys.

That kinda makes sense, though I know very little about football. (I'm a bit of a badminton fan, to be honest :3)

Mind giving me an example walk through of what you want the final product to be? That'll help me figure out exactly what we're gunning for.

The text gameplay must be done using loops
I need to have a timer for each quater

hmmm
