    I am creating a Wrestling Simulator Game, for all those who do not know this is a wrestling game in similar style to football manager type games.

    The problem I am having is with the Roster. I have created a database with all the wrestlers info in. I have set up the page that can display each wrestler and their stats seperatly using the DATA Control, my problem has come with writing the match engine.

    I am trying to write the match engine so that it can read values from the databse and include them, such as the wrestlers hometown or finishing move, however I cannot get it to display the information.

    Can anyone help, alternatively if you know of a better way of doing the roster rather than a database let me know. Plus if anyone knows where I can find any codes for wrestling sims I would appreciate it.

    Cheers

    I would stick all the info into text files, so as to keep the overall size of the add down.
    Its quite easy if you do it that way. Something like :

    Code:
    Open App.Path & "\data.dat" For Input As #1
    Do Until Eof(1)
        DoEvents
        Line Input #1, var_string
        'Do Something
    Loop
Close #1
    Thats what I would do.

    Well, if all you see is the result of the fight, you can make it turn-based.

    Make a loop until one of them is dead, each of them makes a different attack in each turn based on some probabilities.

    It's called fuzzy logic, you can find a code sample on it at http://www.planet-source-code.com .
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    To learn how to use realistic effects in your games like fire, rain, snow and magic effects, read my article on particles systems here.
